Book excerpt: Grace Aguilar (2 June 1816 - 16 September 1847) was an English novelist, poet and writer on Jewish history and religion. Although she had been writing since childhood, much of her work was published posthumously. Among those are her best known works, the novels Home Influence and A Mother's Recompense.Aguilar was the eldest child of Sephardic Jewish refugees from Portugal who settled in the London Borough of Hackney. An early illness resulted in her being educated by her parents, especially her mother, who taught her the tenets of Judaism. Later, her father taught the history of Spanish and Portuguese Jews during his own bout with tuberculosis which had led the family to move to the English coast. After surviving the measles at the age of 19, she began to embark on a serious writing career, even though her physical health never completely recovered.Aguilar's debut was an anonymous collection of poems, The Magic Wreath of Hidden Flowers. Three years later she translated Isaac Orobio de Castro's Israel Defended into English at her father's behest. Later her The Spirit of Judaism drew interest and sales in both Britain and the United States after being published in Philadelphia by Isaac Leeser. He added a preface to the work elucidating his differences with her, the first of many clashes her work would have with mainstream Jewish thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vale of Cedars: Or the Martyr Grace Aguilar was born at Hackney, June 2, 1816. She was the eldest child, and only daughter of Emanuel Aguilar, one of those merchants descended from the Jews of Spain, who, almost within the memory of man, fled from persecution in that country, and sought and found an asylum in England. The delicate frame and feeble health observable in Grace Aguilar throughout her life, displayed itself from infancy; from the age of three years she was almost constantly under the care of some physician, and, by their advice, annually spending the summer months by the sea, in the hope of rousing and strengthening a naturally fragile constitution. This want of physical energy was, however, in direct contrast to her mental powers, which developed early, and readily. She learned to read with scarcely any trouble, and when once that knowledge was gained, her answer when asked what she would like for a present, was invariably "A book," which was read, reread, and preserved with a care remarkable in so young a child. With the exception of eighteen months passed at school, her mother was her sole instructress, and both parents took equal delight in directing her studies, and facilitating her personal inspection of all that was curious and interesting in the various counties of England to which they resorted for her health.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vale of Cedars: Or the Martyr Panting, breathless, almost exhausted, he reached the summit, and before him yawned a chasm, dark, fathomless, as if nature in some wild convulsion had rent the rock asu n der. The level ground on which he stood was barely four feet square; behind him sloped the most precipitous side of the crag, devoid of tree or bush, and slippery from the con stant moisture that formed a deep black pool at its base. Stanley hazarded but one glance behind, then looked stea dily forward, till his eye seemed accustomed to the width of the chasm, which did not exceed three feet. He fixed his hold firmly on a blasted trunk growing within the chasm; It shook - gave way - another moment and he would have been lost; but in that moment he loosed his hold, clasped both hands above his head, and successfully made the leap aware only of the immense effort by the exhaustion which followed compelling him to sink down on the grass, deprived even of energy to look around him. So marvellous was the change of scenery on which his eyes unclosed, that he started to his feet, bewildered. A gra dual hill, partly covered with rich meadow grass, and partly with corn, diversified with foliage, sloped downwards, leading by an easy descent to a small valley, where orange and lime trees, the pine and chestnut, palm and cedar, grew in beauti ful luxuriance. On the left was a small dwelling, almost hid den in trees. Directly beneath him a natural fountain threw 1ts sparkling showers on beds of sweet-scented and gayly colored flowers. The hand of man had very evidently aided nature in forming the wild yet chaste beauty of the scene. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
