Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Frances Power Cobbe as Told by Herself The story of the beautiful life which came to an end on the 5th of April, 1904, is told by Miss Cobbe herself in the following pages up to the close of 1898. Nothing is left for another pen but to sketch in the events of the few remaining years. But first a word or two as to the origin of the book. One spring day in 1891 or '92, when Miss Cobbe was walking with me through the Hengwrt grounds on my way to the station, after some hours spent in listening to her brilliant stories of men and things, I asked her if she would not some day write her autobiography. She stood still, laughing, and shook her head. Nothing in her life, she said, was of sufficient importance to record, or for other people to read. Naturally I urged that what had interested me so greatly would interest others, and that her life told by herself could not fail to make a delightful book. She still laughed at the idea; and the next time I saw her and repeated my suggestion, told me that she had not time for such an undertaking, and also that she did not think her friend, Miss Lloyd, would like it. At last, however, to my great satisfaction, I heard that the friends had talked the matter over, and were busily engaged in looking at old letters and records of past days, and both becoming interested in the retrospection. So the book grew referred to it laughingly as "your" book, to which I replied that then I had not lived in vain!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Frances Power Cobbe as Told by Herself: With Additions by the Author and Introduction Yet this anguish of heart was bravely borne. There was nothing morbid in her grief. She took the same keen interest as before in the daily affairs of life - in politics and literature and social matters. There never was a nature more made for the enjoyment of social intercourse. She loved to have visitors. To take them for drives about her beautiful home, and to invite her neighbours to pleasant little luncheons and dinners to meet them. Especially she enjoyedthesumrner glories of her sweet old garden, and likedtogivc an occasional garden Party. And still oftener totalteteawithherfriends undertheshadeofthebig cherrytreeon the lawn.

It was not till I was actively engaged in the work of Mary Carpenter at Bristol, and had begun to desire earnestly various changes of law relating to young criminals and paupers, that I became an advocate of " Women's Rights." It was g, aid old Rev. J. J. May, of Syracuse, Massachusetts, who, when paying us a visit, pressed on my attention tho question: "Why slutuld you not hare a cote.' Why should not women be enabled to influence the making of the laws in which they have as great an interest as men '?" My experience probably explains largely the indifference of thousands of women, not deficient in intelligence, in England and America to the possession of political rights. They have much anxiety to fulfil their home duties, and the notion of undertaking others, requiring (as they fully understand) conscientious enquiry and reflection, rather alarms than attracts them. But the time comes to every woman worth her salt to take ardent interest in some question which touches legislation. Then she begins to ask herself, as Mr. May asked me; "Why should the fact of being a woman, close to me the use of the plain, direct means, of helping to achieve some large public good or stopping some evil? The timid, the indolent, the conventional will here retreat, and try to believe that it concerns men only to right the wrongs of the world in some more effectual way than by single-handed personal efforts in special cases. Others again, --and of their number vu I, --become deeply impressed with the need of woman's voice in public affairs, and thenceforth attach themselves to the "Woman's Cause" more or less earnestly.
