Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman Before the Law T is not attempted in the following pages to give a complete compendium of the law relating to mar ried women, so as to make it a work of reference it is hoped that the subject will be so presented as to give to intelligent readers outside of the legal pro fession a reliable summary 'of the law free from the usual technicalities. Still, the subject is so far treated in a legal point of view, as to afford, it is hoped, some assistance to the law-student. I have studiously avoided the part of a doctri naz'ra; Ihave only considered the law as it is; and have not introduced questions of a debatable charac ter upon which decisions differ. To carry out the subject properly, I was compelled to treat of the law pertaining to the married relation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman and the Law His work is designed to serve the pur poses of a general view of the legal con dition of the women of the United States at the present time, and is more especially for the reading of women. It is a general state ment and not an exhaustive analysis; it is not designed for the practising lawyer, man or woman, for though it deals with legal prin ciples, it does not apply them to concrete cases; and least of all is it an attempt to make every woman her own lawyer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman and the Law: A Comparison of the Rights of Men and the Rights of Women Before the Law No one, except reviewers for newspapers, whose whole idea of a volume is drawn from this uncer tain source, ever reads a preface. It furnishes a cozy little nook into which the snugly ensconced author may hide and say just what he pleases, without danger of discovery. Anice little retreat it is, surely and the writer has slyly crept into this hiding-place just to talk it all over to him self. Shall the old and worn manuscript be ex changed for type? Will the volume bear the searching criticism of dear friends and respected acquaintances? Will the cause of human equal ity and the happiness of the race be advanced thereby? Will the distinguished leaders in the Woman's Suffrage Party shout in derision, or will they discover a co-working spirit? What will Mrs. Livermore, or Miss Dickinson, or Mrs. Stowe say about it, if a stray Copy should be placed in their laps by the newsboy, when there is nothing else to command their attention? What would those bright angels over there say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman Under the Law Women have risen to the better chance afforded them by the amelioration of manners. The most fortunate of them have been cruelly obstructed by the large remainder of barbarism which exists in every community, and they have done their work in the teeth of every conceivable disadvantage. They have had to snatch it from a cross-fire of hostile circumstances. That they should have been able to exercise their rare talents at all, and so triumphantly, is a kind of miracle, at which we can but stand amazed. To avoid the risk of any possible misconstrue tion I shall offer here a short explanation of my locus standi as regards the whole subject in ques tion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and the Lady: A Novel IN offering this book to you, I have no Preface to write. I have only to request-that you will bear in mind certain established truths, which occasmnally escape your memory when you are reading a work of fiction. Be pleased, then, to remember (first): that the actions of human beings are not invariably governed by the laws of pure reason. (secondly) that we are by no means always in the habit (especially when we happen to be women) of bestowing our love on the objects which are the most deserving of it, in the Opinions of our friends. (thirdly and Lastly): that Characters which may not have appeared, and Events which may not have taken place, Within the limits of our own individual experience, may nevertheless be perfectly natural Characters and perfectly probable Events, for all that. Having said these few words, I have said'all that seems to be necessary at the present time; and I bid you cordially farewell.

By degrees the woman's stunned gaze changed to one of questioning. "Why did you - kill him?" "Why?' repeated George Orcutt. "Was it - in self-defense?" There was an imploring cadence in quaver. "No," he groaned. "We were both in ugly temper - I was playing with the knife - I didn't intend - Then - somehow it was done - and he - was - at my feet, the knife in - his - heart. It is there now my knife with my name on the handle." Her shivering hands came to her eyes as though to shut out the thing he told her was "there."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Rights Under the Law: In Three Lectures, Delivered in Boston, January, 1861 There seems, at first sight, a certain presumption in offering to an American public, at this moment, any book which does not treat of the great interests which convulse and perplex the United States. But experience has shown, that neither the individual nor the national mind can remain continually upon the rack; and both author and publisher have thought that a book upon a serious subject, popa lar in form and low in price, would find, perhaps, a more hearty welcome, under present circum stances, than in those prosperous days, when ro manees and poems, travels and biographies, are scattered over every table by the score.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Laws for Women in the Nineteenth Century Now it is certainly possible, that in like manner the Law reforms so confidently promised for this session, may be set aside; and some future writer of Chancellors' Lives, may ex press his regret, that in the Session of 1854 little was thought of except the taking of sebastopol. But, if another half century should glide away without re form in our Ecclesiastical and other Courts (as more than half a century elapsed, between the motion of Ex - Chancellor Hard wicke and the amendment of the Habeas Corpus Act) shall we set it all down to the overwhelming interest taken in Quebec and Sebastopol?

Download or read book Legal Condition of Women in Massachusetts in 1886 Classic Reprint written by Samuel Edmund Sewall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-14 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal Condition of Women in Massachusetts, in 1886 This little tract was originally prepared in 1868. A revised edition was issued in 1870, containing notices of the changes in the laws relating to women which had been made since 1868. Statutes passed afterwards led to the publi cation of a third edition in 1875. Since that year, so extensive and important has been the legislation affecting women that a new edition is required. Very opportunely the legislature in 1882 issued the volume of Public Statutes intended to embody all statutes in force' up to that year. I have changed my original plan so far as to add references to the Public Statutes, which may be a convenience to some readers and will embarrass none. The object of the following pages is to present an outline of the law of Massachusetts affecting women, as distinguished from men, with occasional comments. And especially to point out how unfairly the dependent has been in past ages, and is at the present time, treated by the dominant sex, the vast improvement in the condition of the former made by recent legislation, and how much is still required by simple justice for its full relief. The law of this Commonwealth in this respect is so like that of most of the States, that a large part of what I write will apply to many of the others.
