Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Present Deplorable State of the Ecclesiastical Courts of Record: With Proposals for Their Complete Reformation It is a national characteristic of the English people to love what is old. Prescription is entrenched in our common law; but finds a stronger hold in the natural disposition of society. The word "venerable" is one of the most effective adjectives in a speech spoken to an English audience; and when anything really respectable is linked, however artificially, with an ancient institution, its chances of popularity and permanence stand very high. It is much to be regretted that this disposition of the people has been largely abused, and that inveterate abuses have grown up into enormous wrongs, altogether intolerable. There is one class of these standing in the midst of our institutions, like an old ruin in a country place, and owing immunity from interference to superstitious awe. None but the most hardy venture to approach lest the mass should fall upon the rash intruder. After this, need we name the Ecclesiastical Courts; having a jurisdiction "extending to all persons and things belonging to the Roman Church, to the guardianship of orphans, the wills of defuncts, and matters of marriage and divorce."

Download or read book The Practice of Reading written by Derek Alsop and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1999-04-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Practice of Reading is a lucid and lively examination of the art of interpreting the novel in the context of recent developments in literary theory and criticism. Believing that reading is - or should be - a pleasurable, creative activity, the authors analyse a range of seven novels from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing upon the experiential dimensions of the reading process. What is the role of the reader? What happens when a novel is read? How far does meaning depend on the reader, and how far on the text? These and other related questions are explored in readings of novels as diverse as Tristram Shandy, Pride and Prejudice, Great Expectations, Daniel Deronda, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Beckett's Trilogy and Possession. In its insistence upon a return to the practice of close reading, the book represents a timely intervention in current literary debates. An accessible, informative and above all stimulating text for all university and college students of literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home to the so-called big five publishers as well as hundreds of smaller presses, renowned literary agents, a vigorous arts scene, and an uncountable number of aspiring and established writers alike, New York City is widely perceived as the publishing capital of the United States and the world. This book traces the origins and early evolution of the city’s rise to literary preeminence. Through five case studies, Steven Carl Smith examines publishing in New York from the post–Revolutionary War period through the Jacksonian era. He discusses the gradual development of local, regional, and national distribution networks, assesses the economic relationships and shared social and cultural practices that connected printers, booksellers, and their customers, and explores the uncharacteristically modern approaches taken by the city’s preindustrial printers and distributors. If the cultural matrix of printed texts served as the primary legitimating vehicle for political debate and literary expression, Smith argues, then deeper understanding of the economic interests and political affiliations of the people who produced these texts gives necessary insight into the emergence of a major American industry. Those involved in New York’s book trade imagined for themselves, like their counterparts in other major seaport cities, a robust business that could satisfy the new nation’s desire for print, and many fulfilled their ambition by cultivating networks that crossed regional boundaries, delivering books to the masses. A fresh interpretation of the market economy in early America, An Empire of Print reveals how New York started on the road to becoming the publishing powerhouse it is today.
