Not illustrated. 1805 edition. Excerpt: ... Thus far, ' he cries, 'no further shalt thou come, But here thy lofty billows shall be stay'd.' The vast ungovernable sea obeys, The storms that rage at his divine command Ilis sacred voice can hush, at once dispel The awful frowns, which darken Nature's face, And there diffuse the lovely placid smile: Behold! the dreadful tempest now is o'er, We breathe a purer, a more balmy air; More lively verdure decks the smiling earth. And all is calm, beneficent, and gay. May I, if stormy ills obscure my lifej Thus in the great First Cause, the King of Kings, Humbly repose, nor ever let the gloom Of dark uncertain doubt, or dire despair O'erwhelm my soul: then purified by storms, My moral day will clearer, calmer shine. For this great truth is sure; if patient borne The transient woes of this tempestuous world, Then the bright calm of Heaven's unfading bliss, Will be to all eterniiy our own. TO MY BOOKS. Written by Miss AT..when about fourteen. Ye dear instructive constant friends, Accept a grateful lay, For all the moments you have wing'd Delightfully away. Oft has your potent influence charm'd Each gloomy thought to rest, And moral sense, or sprightly wit, Reliev'd my anxious breast. When Nature's beauties all are chill'd By winter's icy hand, In you, exhaustless varied springs, Of pleasure I command. The flame that warms, the flow'is that bloom In fancy's glowing page, You yield in spite of chilling frosts, And fierce tempestuous rage. Not ermin'd grandeur can bestow Such genuine, peaceful joys; And more than gems of Indian mines, Your sacred stores I prize. For oft does wealth on rapid wings From our possession fly, But the enlight'ning truths you teach Can never, never die. In you, past ages I recall, Revive the slumb'ting dead, And with...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Between 1750 and 1840, the home took on unprecedented social and emotional significance. Focusing on the design, decoration, and reception of a range of elite and middling class homes from this period, Domestic Space in Britain, 1750-1840 demonstrates that the material culture of domestic life was central to how this function of the home was experienced, expressed, and understood at this time. Examining craft production and collection, gift exchange and written description, inheritance and loss, it carefully unpacks the material processes that made the home a focus for contemporaries' social and emotional lives. The first book on its subject, Domestic Space in Britain, 1750-1840 employs methodologies from both art history and material culture studies to examine previously unpublished interiors, spaces, texts, images, and objects. Utilising extensive archival research; visual, material, and textual analysis; and histories of emotion, sociability, and materiality, it sheds light on the decoration and reception of a broad array of domestic spaces. In so doing, it writes a new history of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century domestic space, establishing the materiality of the home as a crucial site for identity formation, social interaction, and emotional expression.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →What is education for? The question framed in the second half of the eighteenth century in England is still urgent. Posed in textbooks, histories, conduct books, economic treatises, novels, and other kinds of writing, it was asked about punishment, the classical curriculum, the low status of teachers, education of the poor, public school or private tutor, and the education of girls. Uses of Education shows the fundamental question to be about the potential and limits of Enlightenment thought as it seeks to be embodied in institutions.
