Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Woman's Trials Mrs. Gresham had repeated, "Wanted - a governess," when an old gentleman, a Mr. By field, was announced. The trio of wives and mothers looked at each other, as if to say, "What a bore!" - and then Mrs. Hylier rose gracefully from her chaise longue, and, smiling sweetly, extended her hand, and welcomed Mr. Byfield with exceeding warmth of manner; while Mrs. Gresham and Mrs. Ryal declared aloud their delight at being so fortunate as to meet a neighbour they had so rarely the pleasure to see. The party thus assembled were all inhabitants of the bustling yet courtly suburb of Kensington; and Mr. Byfield being a rich and influential, though a very eccentric, man, was sure of the deference which people of small means are too prone to exhibit towards those whose fortunes are ample. "Do not let me interrupt yon in the least, ladies," said the old man, quietly taking his seat near the window. "Mr. Hylier promised I should look over these pictures by daylight; and when you have talked your own talk, there will be time enough for mine." The ladies, one and all, declared their conviction that his "talk" must be more pleasant and instructive than theirs. lie smiled - shook his head - touched his hat (which he had laid at his feet), as if to say he would either go or have his own way; and so Mrs. Gresham recommenced reading - "Wanted - a governess. Any lady possessing a sound English education, a thorough knowledge of the theory and practice of instrumental and vocal music, and a perfect acquaintance with the French, Italian, and German languages; also with the rudiments of Latin: " "Latin!" interrupted Mrs. Ryal. "Latin! why, what do you want with Latin for a pack of girls?" "I thought," answered Mrs. Gresham, meekly, "that as there are but three girls, Teddy might do his lessons with them for a little while; and that would save the expense of a tutor." "Oh, very good - very good," replied Mrs. Ryal; "then add also, Greek; if the governess is any thing of' a classic, you'll get both for the same money."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Trial: The Story of a Woman at Bay The shelves Of my library are loaded with scrap-books containing accounts Of all the most celebrated murder cases Of the last twenty-five years. The ones which have never been cleared up are naturally the most fascinating. It would doubtless surprise my friends to know that I have in every one Of these cases - sometimes only after months Of study - been able to arrive at a solution which I am convinced is the true one. Perhaps in my Old age, when time shall have removed the actors from the scenes Of these tragic dramas, I shall Offer these conclusions to the world. It can readily be seen how this natural predis position Ou my part determined me in the choice Of a career. I decided to fit myself for the prae tice Of law and to devote myself to defending those u'nfortunates accused of crime who were without means to regularly employ counsel for themselves. And now we come to the Robert Strickland case. Most Of my readers will probably recall the sen sation caused by the murder Of Gerald Trask, and the principal facts connected with that crime, as they appeared in the papers. It will, there fore, only be necessary to give a brief summary Of the accounts that appeared in the New York papers on the morning of June 2 5th last.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trials, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale Not that Matilda was a deserted wife, in the com. Mon acceptation of the term. Charles was not so passionately in love with her as he had been but he was still as strongly attached to her, as it was in his nature to be to any thing he had called his own for two years. But she discovered, when too late, that she had joined her fate with one, of a character, which, of all others (not disgraced by any flagrant vice) is that most calculated to give pain to those connected with it. An austere, or a violent, or a passionate temper, may be accessible, and very com mouly is, on the side of sensibility and virtue but nothing good is within the reach of an unthinking mind. The spirits that would always be gay, always be plunged in a vortex of dissipation, in a world where, on every side, objects for reflection solicit our attention, and seem to intreat our considera tion, present the most hopeless of materials for the reformist to work upon. I see that there is no hope of him said Ma tilda sorrowfully, one day, after they had just re. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman in the Case: A Story Some books are written to sell others to illustrate a' principle. I shall have attained both objects, if this little work meets with popular favor. I believe in individual freedom of writing and buying. I have written for my own pleasure and profit. If the public purchase for the same reasons, both parties will be satisfied. My story is founded on fact, but I think it will be conceded that it is stranger than fiction. If curious people expect to find anything in it bear ing directly or indirectly on the great trial, in the elucidation of which I was necessarily made a witness, I am happy to know they will be disappointed. It may, however, be some consolation'for them to learn that had it not been for that misfortune, it would be possible for me to earn an honest living in a less public way than this. As it is, I have chosen a path which I hope will lead to profit and favor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old Yukon written by James Wickersham and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this humorous and upbeat memoir, James Wickersham describes his career as a pioneer judge and later as a congressional representative assigned to a vast, snow-covered district, extending over 300,000 square miles in the undeveloped Alaska Territory. Wickersham’s many adventures include traveling by dogsled over hundreds of miles through snow-covered mountains; serving as judge for the trials of many famous outlaws in the midst of the gold strikes; and hunting, mining, and climbing in his local Alaska wilderness. Though he was instrumental in the early history of Alaska, and his legacy is evident throughout the state—for example, he named the city of Fairbanks—this is the first and only work to focus on Wickersham’s life during this pivotal time in Alaska’s history.
Download or read book The One Sex Body on Trial The Classical and Early Modern Evidence written by Helen King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By far the most influential work on the history of the body, across a wide range of academic disciplines, remains that of Thomas Laqueur. This book puts on trial the one-sex/two-sex model of Laqueur's Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud through a detailed exploration of the ways in which two classical stories of sexual difference were told, retold and remade from the mid-sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Agnodike, the 'first midwife' who disguises herself as a man and then exposes herself to her potential patients, and Phaethousa, who grows a beard after her husband leaves her, are stories from the ancient world that resonated in the early modern period in particular. Tracing the reception of these tales shows how they provided continuity despite considerable change in medicine, being the common property of those on different sides of professional disputes about women's roles in both medicine and midwifery. The study reveals how different genres used these stories, changing their characters and plots, but always invoking the authority of the classics in discussions of sexual identity. The study raises important questions about the nature of medical knowledge, the relationship between texts and observation, and the understanding of sexual difference in the early modern world beyond the one-sex model.
