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.

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 The Bluestocking, Vol. 2 Dorothy was a literary graduate Of the Seminary last year, and now she gets her A. B. From the College. She is a continual source of wonder to us. How can a girl who is so popular, so much sought after in society. Achieve such success in her studies? Why, she can discuss 'most anything intelligently, and (fortunate student!) she knows the secret of getting the most out of a book in the least time. Had She lived when knighthood was in ower Dot would have been named Lady Dorothy - lovely to behold with all the feminine graces. We wonder how in the world she would decide what colors to wear at the jousts and tourna ments where she would be in demand. Each knight was distinguished by special colors, wasn't he? Then, how would Dorothy manage that? Perhaps it is better that she lives now rather'than in the age when chivalrous gentlemen fought duels and did other rash things for a lady faire. In other words, we are glad to have known Dot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
