Book Description

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 2 of 2 Clara, said I, you know that l was always a plain man, and as I am an old fellow, too, and used to abuse your fastidiousness ln days of yore, I have the more plea sure in praising now the sensible, excellent person with whom you have allied yourself. There was a time when 'nothing short of a galaxy of light, a constellation of genius and talent, would have sat'nfied you. I often told you then that you would one day or other discover your mis take, and I hoped not experimentally. I told you that good sense and a sweet disposition were of more value than all the brilliant: upon which you set so high a price. May I not now wish to bear fi'om your own lips that you have proved the truth of my doctrine? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 2 of 3 Most readily do I accept the trust which you confide in me, and happy shall I be if my exertions facilitate the event of your return to your native land, there to enjoy the otium cum dignitate to which every man naturally aspires who has passed the best of his days in toiling for and realizing an honorable independence. It is one of the sophisms of this paradoxical age in which we live, to prove that the absentee commits no crime against either patriotism, or political economy; but I rejoice that you have not fallen into the snare, and are coming to repose your mind, and spend your money, where every honest man ought to bring himself to anchor; namely, in his own country, and amongst his own people. By a lucky coincidence there is a splendid mansion with highly finished grounds and plantations, just offered for sale in Hampshire; and if I am fortunate enough to conclude a bargain for the sum which I have offered in your name, I shall think myself no ordinary diplomatist.

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 1 of 2 Pnnnars you and I are at this moment similarly sit'u' ated, and similarly employed. 1 am seated at a window which opens on the sea, waiting for a summons to the steam-packet which is to waft me over to Calais - while you are, probably, expecting that which is to convey you to Ireland. When I reach France I shall certainly send you a bill of health from time to time but as few things are less satisfactory than letters from the road, I shall re serve my share in the performance of our parting cove nant till I am quietly settled at Geneva.

Book Description

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 3 of 3 This, my dearest Emily, is the last letter which you will receive from Frederick in Lon don; and though time speeds on rapid Wing in this focus of attraction, I reckon the days with impatience till the heath-clad tops of our dear mountains break upon my View. To travel, and see new men and manners, would be too delightful, if mother and sisters were with me, but, unfashionable as the confession may be, I own to the weakness of loving mine enough to.

Book Description

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 1 of 3 Gentle Reader, An Author who is only making a debut, should be particularly careful not to offend against established rules; otherwise you and I might be spared the plague of a Preface; but as I am heartily desirous to conciliate your regard, I will not forfeit any portion of your esteem at my onset, by the slightest contempt of Court.

The Bluestocking, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Bluestocking, Vol. 2 Despite Voltaire's aphorism (and he may not have been thinking Of a school history) the crimes and misfortunes of this quintette have been negligible. There was the usual struggle for a motto and colors that nobody had used before, the election of Officers, the customary teas and banquets and entertainments by our sister class, and the unvarying indecision finally accompanied by the selection of a school ring - and one, by the way, which will become the standard ring Of M. B. C. Seniors of the future. It is this last - the fact that in some few things we may be establishing a precedent for other Mary Baldwin College students, that makes us proud and a little fearful at being the first class to graduate from this college whose history is now in the making, and though our part in after years may seem very small, we can be glad that we were Of the beginning.
