Download or read book Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politéness written by Florence Hartley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1860 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.

Download or read book Stories of Strange Women (Classic Reprint) written by J. Y. F. Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of Strange Women is a compilation of entertaining and thought-provoking short stories written by J. Y. F. Cooke who is also well-known as the author of two famous books: "A Spray of Lilac" and "A Happy Little Adventure." This book provides an interesting look at female characters in literature both through a societal lens and a literary scope. Cooke's presentation of women is at times comical, other times dramatic, and even occasionally stereotypical. This book is amusing for anyone intrigued by short stories, women in literature, and the presentation of women who challenge typical social conventions. The eight pieces presented in this book include: The Garments of a Girl, His Mistress and Her Maid, When the "Vestilinden" was Lost, Leave It Alone, A Light Woman's Reason, For Valour, Out of the Mire, and Joy Cometh In the Morning. Each story begins with several quotes that set the tone and mood of the story and pertain directly to the story's content; the quotes come from a range of sources and are shared in English and other varied languages. Societal expectations of women are presented through the plight of these characters and offer some situations which are meant to inform readers of the historic struggles of women. Stories of Strange Women is a select collection of short stories crafted by J. Y. F. Cooke for the enjoyment of educated audiences. Cooke presents a range of female characters for the reader to analyze, understand, question, and sympathize with. For those interested in literature and the historic struggles of women, this is an entertaining book and a must read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emma, Lady Hamilton: An Old Story Retold Old stories re-told have ever a charm to interest the people of a later day. As the world rolls on, each generation leaves some few Whose lives have shone out with a clearer light, marking a record for themselves, while the memories of those who ran the race of life alongside them fade into oblivion. NO story so attractive, both to tale-teller and auditor, as the relation of incidents in the life of a beautiful woman: and, standing supremely above the people of her day, was one who, with smile and wile, ruled the destinies of great nations, a one-time cottage beauty, known to fame as Emma, Lady Hamilton. So many articles have been written to the prejudice of this won derful woman, that the present undertaking is attempted in the endeavour to produce her Character in a more pleasing light; the facts introduced having foundation in correspondence gathered from one source and another, which, it will be admitted, is a good groundwork for a display of truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorable Women: The Story of Their Lives However imperfectly this work may have been performed, it has cost me some labor and trouble, not from the difficulty of finding materials, but of compress ing them into what I wished to be a clear and readable shape. In selecting lives for biographical condensation, I have not been guided by the admiration so commonly felt for those brilliant characters who have been re markable for merely intellectual qualifications and un profitable or injudicious heroisms: I have endeavored simply to set before the young women of the present day examples of wives and mothers who have done their duty under difficulties and temptations; and if in some cases genius has accompanied high moral endow ments, we have all the more reason to be gratified by the picture of combined excellence of heart and mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life's Little Ironies: A Set of Tales With Some Colloquial Sketches Entitled a Few Crusted Characters Of the following collection the first story, 'An Imaginative Woman, ' which has hitherto stood in Wessex Tales, has been brought into this volume as being more nearly its place, turning as it does upon a trick of Nature, so to speak, a physical possibility that may attach to a wife of vivid imaginings, as is well known to medical practitioners and other observers of such manifestations. The two stories named 'A Tradition of Eighteen Hundred and Four' and 'The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion, ' which were formerly printed in this series, have been transferred to Wessex Tales, where they more naturally belong. The present narratives and sketches, though separately published at various antecedent dates, were first collected and issued in a volume in 1894.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Good Woman, Vol. 1 of 2 To prevent any misconception, the Publishers take this Opportunity to state, that in a few in stances the titles of the works included in this se ries have been changed. That of Koningsmarke, who is an historical character, did not sufiiciently indicate that it was an American story; and that of the New Mirror for Travellers, which is alto gether a satirical work, was calculated to produce, and did produce, an idea in many purchasers that it was a mere traveller's guide. The Chronicles of Gotham were originally intended as a continua tion of Tales of the Good Woman; but it happen ing that a work was just at the time republished here with a similar title, it seemed proper that some other should be adopted. They now form the sec ond volume of Tales of the Good Woman, as originally designed. These alterations can pro duce no deception in the public, since it is suffi ciently known that, with the exception of a single volume of dramatic writings, the whole of this collection is a republication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lady, or the Tiger?: And Other Stories This was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady: he opened either he pleased, Without having the slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. On some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and on some out of the other. The decisions of this tribunal were not only fair, they were positively determinate: the accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty; and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. There was no escape from the judgments of the king's arena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Woman's Story, as Told by Twenty American Women written by Laura C. Holloway and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Story, as Told by Twenty American Women: With Portraits, and Sketches of the Authors The woman's story as told by twenty American women is a composite picture of the representative fiction work of the female writers of the republic. It is one which depicts the types and characteristics of people who unitedly compose our young nation. The composite woman's picture is full of patriotic fire; of the fervor and faith of free institutions, and is distin guished by a zealous allegiance to the domestic quali ties of the people, which have found widest expression under our form of government. The difierences in population; the varieties of classes, and the broad distinctions in local coloring are vividly exhibited in the annals of American fiction, the largest contributors to which are women. The compilation represents the field of fiction, from the appearance of the first great American novel to the present day. Mrs. Stowe's sketch of New England life, which Opens the volume, was the forerunner of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is as graphic a pen-picture of the phase of life it represents as was her famous novel of slavery. Miss Alcott's Transcendental Wild Oats' is the truest delineation of the salient features of the Transcendental movement yet made, and is as striking in its faithfulness as is Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Lot.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Harper's Ferry: With Sketches of Its Founder, and Many Prominent Characters Connected With Its History, Anecdotes, &C Harper's Ferry, including Boliver, is a town which, before the re bellion, contained a population of three thousand, nine - tenths of whom were whites. At the breaking out of the war, nearly all the inhabi tants left their homes, some casting their lots with the Confederacy, and about an equal number with the old Government. On the res toration of peace, comparatively few returned. A great many colored people, however, who came at various times, with the army, from Southern Virginia, have remained, so that the proportion of races is materially changed. Many soldiers of the National army who mar ried Virginia ladies during the war, have, also, settled there, and, con sequently, the place, yet. Contains a considerable number of inhabi tants. The present population may be set down at sixteen hundred whites and seven hundred blacks. The town is situated in J efi'erson County, West Virginia, at the confluence of the Potomac and She nandoah, at the base and in the very shadow of the Blue Ridge moun tains. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad crosses the Potomac at the place on a magnificent bridge, and the Winchester and Potomac Rail road has its Northern terminus in the town. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, also, is in the immediate neighborhood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
