Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chimney Corner The sketches which were collected by their author under the title of The Chimney Corner were first published as a volume in 1874. Many of them had appeared in a Manchester journal, called The Critic. They are briefer and less elaborate, both in conception and execution, than most of Waugh's other productions. They may be said to be based on anecdotes rather than stories; and are just such simple and humorous narrations - rough and free-spoken sometimes - as may still be heard on winter nights in the "inglenook of the old Lancashire farmhouse, and in the kitchen of the country inn. Many of them are clearly autobiographical, and furnish reminiscences of Waugh's own childhood, of his short school-days, and his early companions. The dialect is pithy, and full of odd, ancient, and interesting words, of which "ailo," meaning "shy;" and "chylt-little" for "young," or "small," may serve as instances. The nervous strength of the dialect is illustrated in such sentences as the following: - "He'll be a greight, stark, strung-backed, wutherin' Englishman, o' th' owd breed, if he's luck." Two of the stories - "The Nomination" and "The Swallowed Sixpence" - have been often separately printed, and have been much used for public reading; but the finest piece in the volume is the one entitled, "A Berrin' Posy," which gives an inimitable picture of the sufferings of the honest poor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Crowfield [pseudonym for Harriet Beecher Stowe]. Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe ( June 14, 1811 - July 1, 1896) was an American abolitionist and author. She came from the Beecher family, a famous religious family, and is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential for both her writings and her public stances on social issues of the day. Life and work: Harriet Elisabeth Beecher was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, on June 14, 1811. She was the seventh of 13 children born to outspoken Calvinist preacher Lyman Beecher and Roxana (Foote), a deeply religious woman who died when Stowe was only five years old. Roxana's maternal grandfather was General Andrew Ward of the Revolutionary War. Her notable siblings included a sister, Catharine Beecher, who became an educator and author, as well as brothers who became ministers: including Henry Ward Beecher, who became a famous preacher and abolitionist, Charles Beecher, and Edward Beecher. Harriet enrolled in the Hartford Female Seminary run by her older sister Catharine, where she received a traditional academic education usually reserved for males at the time with a focus in the classics, including studies of languages and mathematics. Among her classmates was Sarah P. Willis, who later wrote under the pseudonym Fanny Fern. In 1832, at the age of 21, Harriet Beecher moved to Cincinnati, Ohio to join her father, who had become the president of Lane Theological Seminary. There, she also joined the Semi-Colon Club, a literary salon and social club whose members included the Beecher sisters, Caroline Lee Hentz, Salmon P. Chase (future governor of the state and Secretary of Treasury under President Lincoln), Emily Blackwell and others. Cincinnati's trade and shipping business on the Ohio River was booming, drawing numerous migrants from different parts of the country, including many free blacks, as well as Irish immigrants who worked on the state's canals and railroads. Areas of the city had been wrecked in the Cincinnati riots of 1829, when ethnic Irish attacked blacks, trying to push competitors out of the city. Beecher met a number of African Americans who had suffered in those attacks, and their experience contributed to her later writing about slavery. Riots took place again in 1836 and 1841, driven also by native-born anti-abolitionists. It was in the literary club that she met Calvin Ellis Stowe, a widower who was a professor at the seminary. The two married on January 6, 1836. He was an ardent critic of slavery, and the Stowes supported the Underground Railroad, temporarily housing several fugitive slaves in their home. Most slaves continued north to secure freedom in Canada. The Stowes had seven children together, including twin daughters.............
