http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02001.xml
I KNOW not whether my pen will
afford me any amusement in my
present condition. I have been little
accustomed to the use of it, but I
have nothing else to do, and my pre-
sent situation stands in need of being
beguiled of its cares. I am without
books, and am not permitted to leave
my chamber. I have, therefore, no
alternative. This, or nothing is my
lot. I cannot consent to pass a life
of inactivity. But what shall I write?
There is something whimsical in this
undertaking. For a man of my ha-
bits, at the age of sixty, to sit down
to the writing desk! Nothing would
have been less expected a month ago,
and nothing but the unfortunate cir-
cumstances in which I am placed
would reconcile me to it.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02001.xmlTue, 03 Feb 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Man at Home. No. II. Brown, Charles Brockden

GO thy ways for an honest crea-
ture. I cannot explain to thee,
in an intelligible way, the true nature
of my condition; or perhaps I might
be disposed to gratify thy curiosity.
I have no need to dread from thee
any imputations on the honesty of my
proceeding. Casuists have, long ago,
settled that point. By casuists such
as thou, it would never be brought
into question. That action may be
wrong, which law has thought proper
to prohibit and punish. He that per-
petrates it may be truly criminal.
The action by which we incur punish-
ment is unjust, but what is to be said
of the means by which we elude the
penalty? No doubt an highwayman
is criminal, but after the commission
of the deed, he endeavours to elude
his pursuers. Do these endeavours
enhance his guilt? When taken, and
dungeon-doomed, and fettered, does
duty restrain him from breaking his
chains, and restoring himself, by the
exertion of dexterity or strength, to
liberty?http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02033.xmlTue, 10 Feb 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Man at Home. No. III. Brown, Charles Brockden

I AM sitting here employed in this
way, from a notion that it is the
only practicable employment: It is
the only exercise, as I suppose, within
my reach. This perhaps is an error.
In one sense my sphere is a small one.
My observation is limited to an area
of twelve feet square; but surely it
becomes me to examine every thing
within this space. If it be small, the
examination is proportionably easy.
If our means are few, the motives
seem to be enhanced for making the
best use of them of which they are
capable.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02065.xmlTue, 17 Feb 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Man at Home. No. IV. Brown, Charles Brockden

I HAVE talked with Kate upon the
subject of this chest. Her infor-
mation, as I expected, is not very
satisfactory. When she first applied
for this house it was untenanted. Its
recent inhabitants had been destroyed
by the reigning malady. The scanty
furniture that was possessed by them,
had been partly sold by the landlord
for the payment of arrears. The rest,
such as beds and clothes, had been
buried or burnt, on account of the in-
fection which they were supposed to
have imbibed. The seeming worth-
lessness of this trunk, and the difficulty
of removing it, had rescued it from
the general wreck. In the terms which
he made with Kate, the landlord al-
lowed her to act, with regard to this
piece of furniture, as she thought
proper.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-02099.xmlTue, 24 Feb 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Man at Home. No. V. Brown, Charles Brockden

BAXTER, after taking some re-
freshment, retired to rest. In no
long time, however, he was awakened
by his wife, who desired him to notice
a certain glimmering on the ceiling.
It seemed the feeble and flitting ray
of a distant and moving light, coming
through the window. It did not
proceed from the street, for the cham-
ber was lighted from the side, and
not from the front of the house. A
lamp borne by a passenger, or the
attendants of an hearse, could not be
discovered in this situation. Besides,
in the latter case, it would be accom-
panied by the sound of the vehicle,
and, probably, by weeping and ex-
clamations of despair. His employ-
ment, as the guardian of property,
naturally suggested to him the idea of
robbery. He started from his bed,
and went to the window.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03133.xmlTue, 03 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Man at Home. No. VI. Brown, Charles Brockden

PAGES have been filled with ideas
suggested by a broom-stick. I
have a volume, under that title, in
my possession. The writer follows
the train of ideas suggested by the
sight of this useful instrument, and is
led by it on many an instructive and
amusing ramble. His speculations,
indeed, are bound together by no
other affinity than this. It is curious
to observe what various and momen-
tous themes take their rise in his un-
derstanding, from this humble source.
He first discusses the nature of that
principle, by which the sight of a
broom-stick is made productive of a
series of thoughts in the mind. In
the course of this speculation he raises
a scheme of his own on the ruins of
that system which changes man into a
pair of bag-pipes, and makes out the
contexture of his body to be nothing
more than a congeries of fiddle-strings.
He endeavours to prove, that the
hand is lifted and planets impelled by
the same power, and that this power
is thought. Having settled this point,
he proceeds to describe the thoughts

I CALLED, last evening on Mrs.
Carter. I had no previous ac-
quaintance with her. Her brother is
a man of letters, who, nevertheless,
finds little leisure from the engage-

generally to his house, every one who

WELL, old as I am, I find I am
reserved for an extraordinary
fate. “Nil desperandum” was ever
my motto; and yet, in the present
case, I suffered appearances to snatch
it from me. For a time, I thought
my search was at an end—that the
trunk was useless for any purpose but
that of kindling a blaze. When
black Will came to cut my wood, I
desired my good woman to bring me
up his axe for three minutes, and I
proceeded to break up the chest. It is
nothing, thought I, but useless lumber.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03225.xmlTue, 24 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMTExtract from the 'Sky-Walk.'. Brown, Charles Brockden

[In our last number notice was given
of a New Work of Invention and
Reflection, which is ready to be
offered to public patronage. The
nature of its design, the singularity
of its title, the circumstance of its
being written by a native citizen
of Philadelphia, and of its being on
the point of soliciting the encourage-
ment of the public, have induced us,
for the satisfaction of our readers,
to solicit, from the author, the
privilege of making an extract
from his manuscript. Although
unable to fix on any part capable of
conveying a perfect idea of the
whole, we trust the following may
serve as a specimen of the work.]http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03228.xmlTue, 24 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Rights of Women. A Dialogue. Brown, Charles Brockden

I SHALL not stop to describe the

embarrassments and awkwardnesses
always incident to an unpolished
wight like me. Suffice it to say, that
I was, in a few minutes, respectfully
withdrawn into a corner, and, fortu-

MISS De Moivre did not fail to
remind me of my promise when
I next saw her. I repeated that the
task which she assigned to me, was
arduous. It was perhaps impossible
to say what species of employment
was most beneficial. Some might be
mentioned from which unquestionable
benefits would flow. It is worthy of
a rational being to weigh with scru-
pulous exactness; to chuse that only
which is intrinsically preferable. This,
however, is your own province, not
mine. I will point out one method,
and state the recommendations that
belong to it. Judge you whether it
outgoes in excellence all others.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03257.xmlTue, 31 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Rights of Women. A Dialogue. Brown, Charles Brockden

the liberal professions, those which re-
quire most vigour of mind, greatest ex-
tent of knowledge, and most commerce

contrary instances occur, they are

THE second period of Miss De
Moivre's life was still more worthy
to be exhibited. She was now become
a woman, and was preparing to return
to her father, when a letter from him
informed her of a change in his plans.
He was considerably capricious, and
had roamed about so much, that he
found it impossible to remain long in
one place. Add to this, a sudden
scheme that occurred to him of ex-
ploring the southern side of mount
Jura, as a botanist. Every thing
must yield to the gratification of his
darling passion. He immediately re-
solved to sell his property in St. Do-
mingo and return to France, and of
this, timely information was received
by his daughter.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04289.xmlTue, 07 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Rights of Women. A Dialogue. Part II. Brown, Charles Brockden

A. Z. requests to be informed of the
meaning of the title of the work lately

Big Spring, the name given by the Lenni

district where the principal scenes of this

WHAT a series of calamities is
the thread of human existence?
I have heard of men who, though
free themselves from any uncommon
distress, were driven to suicide by
reflecting on the misery of others.
They employed their imagination in
running over the catalogue of human
woes, and were so affected by the
spectacle, that they willingly resorted
to death to shut it from their view.
No doubt their minds were consti-
tuted after a singular manner. We are
generally prone, when objects chance
to present to us their gloomy side, to
change their position, till we hit upon
the brightest of its aspects.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04320.xmlTue, 14 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn Theatres. Brown, Charles Brockden

A CORRESPONDENT in your

has often been discussed, but, perhaps,
never in a manner perfectly satisfac-
tory. Subjects of this kind are very
complex, and the foundation of our

commonly supposed. The question
may be stated in the compass of a

yard. “It is true, the foliage has not
yet sufficiently expanded to shield us

The approach of summer is, as yet,
announced only by the swelling of the
buds, and the balmy vernal breeze.
Yet this situation is more favourable
to observation on the busy human
scene before us, and we are ourselves
more secluded from notice than in the
main walk. It is thus I love to sur-
vey the world. Whether my views
extend to an empire, or are bounded
by an acre, I still wish to place my-
self, as it were, behind the scene. My
youth, my sex, and inexperience, fur-
nish my apology for the indulgence of
this timidity. I am sensible, times and

IT is amusing to remark in what va-

love has been considered. I was lately
perusing an author*, whose theory
* Darwin's Zoonomia. Eratomania.
had more novelty, and wore an air of
greater paradox than I have hitherto
met with. He is a physician who
makes a threefold classification of
diseases. The two first classes are
fashioned on a new, but on no fantasti-
cal model. If there be any truth in the
customary distinctions, these are suf-
ficiently within the province of the
medical art. Many of the articles
that constitute the third class have
hitherto been assigned to the mo-
ralist. This writer, however, very
gravely arranges them in his cata-
logue, annexes a technical descrip-
tion, and prescribes the “modus
medendi.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04352.xmlTue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn the Effects of Theatric Exhibitions. Brown, Charles Brockden

TO ascertain the tendency of plays
is by no means difficult. There
is no more powerful mode of winning
the attention, and swaying the pas-
sions of mankind. Mental power is
quite a different consideration from
the moral application of that power.
Genius affords no security from error.
The writers of plays have been gene-
rally necessitous and profligate. They
have therefore written under the in-
fluence of wrong conceptions of duty
and happiness; and, in order to effect
their purpose, which was gain, have
deemed themselves obliged to hu-
mour the caprices and pamper the
vicious appetites, of those who fre-
quent these spectacles.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04357.xmlTue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn the Effects of Theatric Representations. Brown, Charles Brockden

ARCHIBALD was a youth of very
lively parts. His sensibility had be-
come diseased by an assiduous study of
those Romancers and Poets, who
make love the basis of their fictions.
He had scarcely grown up, when he
contracted a passion for a woman,
whose chief merit consisted in her
beauty. A new object quickly suc-
ceeded: Though he loved for a time
with every appearance of ardour, it
was perceived that his affections were
easily transferred to a new object,
and easily dissolved by absence. Love
however, was his element: He could
not exist without it. To sigh, to
muse, to frame elegies, was the busi-
ness of his life. Provided there was
some object to receive his amorous

http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-05097.xml
AMONG all kinds of vegetable
food, Count Rumford assigns the pre-
ference to Indian corn. The exten-
sive use of it in Italy, under the name
of Pallenta, and in North America,
evinces its nutritiousness and whole-
someness. In the countries cultivated
by negro slaves, it is generally pre-
ferred by them to rice, which they
account the more fugitive and less
substantial food. In addition to this,
it is known to be producible in larger
quantities than other grain; hence
the propriety of encouraging the cul-
tivation and extending the use of it.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-05097.xmlTue, 26 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTA Series of Original Letters – Letter IX. Brown, Charles Brockden

I WAS resident in this city during
the year 1793. Many motives con-
tributed to detain me, though depar-
ture was easy and commodious, and
my friends were generally solicitous
for me to go. It is not my purpose
to enumerate these motives, or to
dwell on my present concerns and
transactions, but merely to compose
a narrative of some incidents with
which my situation made me ac-
quainted.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-06193.xmlTue, 16 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMTTo Stella – No. I [a poem]. Brown, Charles Brockden

MY natal soil is Chester County.
My father had a small farm on which
he has been able, by industry, to
maintain himself and a numerous fa-
mily. He has had many children,
but some defect in the constitution
of our mother has been fatal to all
of them but me. They died succes-
sively as they attained the age of
nineteen or twenty, and since I have
not yet reached that age I may rea-
sonably look for the same premature
fate. In the spring of last year my
mother followed her fifth child to
the grave, and three months after-
wards died herself.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-06226.xmlTue, 23 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMTQueries. Brown, Charles Brockden

I ROSE at the dawn, and without
asking or bestowing a blessing, sallied
forth into the high road to the city
which passed near the house. I left
nothing behind, the loss of which I
regretted. I had purchased most of
my own books with the product of
my own separate industry, and their
number being, of course, small, I
had, by incessant application, gotten
the whole of them by rote. They
had ceased, therefore, to be of any
further use. I left them, without
reluctance, to the fate for which I
knew them to be reserved, that of
affording food and habitation to mice.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-06257.xmlTue, 30 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMTAn Instance of Ventriloquism. Brown, Charles Brockden

THE following anecdote relative to
ventriloquism, contains some humour
and is related by most undoubted au-
thority, viz. Adrianus Turnebus, the
greatest critic of the sixteenth cen-
tury, who was admired and respected
by all the learned in Europe. “There
was a crafty fellow,” says he, “called
Petrus Brabantius, who, as often as
he pleased, would speak from his
belly, with his mouth indeed open,
but his lips unmoved, of which I have
been repeatedly eye and ear-witness.
In this manner he put divers cheats
on several persons: amongst others,
the following was well known:—
There was a merchant of Lyons,
lately dead, who had acquired a great
estate by unjust dealings. Brabantius
happening to be at Lyons, and hearing
of this, comes one day to Cornutus,
the son and heir of this merchant, as
he walked in a portico behind the
church-yard, and tells him that he
was sent to inform him of what was
to be done by him, and that it was
more requisite to think of the soul
and reputation of his father, than

TAKE an old castle; pull down a

on the battlements, and provide the
owls and bats with uninterrupted ha-
bitations among the ruins. Pour a
sufficient quantity of heavy rain upon
the hinges and bolts of the gates, so
that when they are attempted to be
opened, they may creak most fear-
fully. Next take an old man and
woman, and employ them to sleep in

with frightful stories of lights that
appear in the western or the eastern

HAVING thus disposed of the
doctrines of some of his predecessors,
Dr. Barton proceeds to say: “The
result of not a little attention to the
subject has taught me, that there is
but one wonder in the business;—
the wonder that the story should ever
have been believed by a man of
understanding, and of observation.”
—Fascination, we are informed, is
almost entirely limited to birds that
build low, and “in almost every
instance, I found that the supposed
fascinating faculty of the serpent was
exerted upon the birds at the particu-
lar season of their laying their eggs,
of their hatching, or of their rearing
their young, still tender, and defence-
less. I now began to suspect, that
the cries and fears of birds supposed
to be fascinated originated in an en-
deavour to protect their nest or young.
My enquiries have convinced me that
this is the case.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07394.xmlTue, 28 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMTArthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793. Brown, Charles Brockden

IN a short time the lady retired.
I naturally expected that some com-
ments would be made on her beha-
viour, and that the cause of her sur-
prise and distress on seeing me, would
be explained, but Welbeck said no-
thing on that subject. When she
had gone, he went to the window
and stood for some time occupied, as
it seemed, with his own thoughts.
Then he turned to me and, calling me
by my name, desired me to accompany
him up stairs. There was neither
cheerfulness nor mildness in his ad-
dress, but neither was there any thing
domineering or arrogant.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08008.xmlTue, 04 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTArthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793. Brown, Charles Brockden

the city; intruding into churches; and
diving into alleys, I returned. The
rest of the day I spent chiefly in my

the causes of appearances.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08033.xmlTue, 11 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTArthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793. Brown, Charles Brockden

THIS extraordinary interview was
now passed. Pleasure as well as pain
attended my reflections on it. I ad-
hered to the promise I had improvi-
dently given to Welbeck, but had
excited displeasure, and perhaps sus-
picion in the lady. She would find
it hard to account for my silence.
She would probably impute it to per-
verseness, or imagine it to flow from
some incident connected with the
death of Clavering, calculated to
give a new edge to her curiosity.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08065.xmlTue, 18 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTArthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793. Brown, Charles Brockden

WELBECK did not return tho'
hour succeeded hour till the clock
struck ten. I inquired of the ser-
vants, who informed me that their
master was not accustomed to stay
out so late. I seated myself at a ta-
ble, in the parlour, on which there
stood a light, and listened for the
signal of his coming, either by the
found of steps on the pavement with-
out, or by a peal from the bell. The
silence was uninterrupted and pro-
found, and each minute added to my
sum of impatience and anxiety.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08101.xmlTue, 25 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTWieland; or The Transformation. An American Tale. Brown, Charles Brockden

“heavy rains, uncleansed sinks, and a continuance of unexam-
pled heat, has within these ten days, given birth to the yellow
fever among us, in its epidemical form. Death and alarms
have rapidly multiplied, but it is hoped that now, as formerly,

This romantic turn was not a sudden effervescence, but a
steady rule and principle of action. He derived his motives of
duty from sources entirely different from ordinary men. Taking
the extremest boundary of duty as his starting point, he followed
the principle down through all its bearings until he brought it
home to himself. As an instance of this, while the city of New
York was infected with the yellow fever, Charles had visited his
friends at that place. His brother alarmed for his safety pressed
him by letter immediately to return to Philadelphia. The re-

Inclosed is the letter that I promised to send thee. Though
short it can hardly fail of interesting thee, as relative to
thy friend Elihu. I shall go, in a few days, to Perth
Amboy, where thou wilt not suppose that a Script from
thee can prove unacceptable. Thou wilt of course preserve
this letter till my return,~~http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-103A.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To William Dunlap. Brown, Charles Brockden

21stWell my beloved friend! It may afford you some satisfaction
to recognize my hand once more tho’ vague & feeble in a degree that
astonishes myself. I can add little to what is before said by William.
Most ardently do I long to shut out this City from my view but
my strength has been, within these few days, so totally & unaccount-
ably subverted, that I can scarcely flatter myself with being able,
very shortly, to remove. I do not understand my own case, but see
enough to discover that the combination of bodily & mental causes
have made such deep inroads on the vital energies of brain &
stomach, I am afraid I cannot think of departing before Monday at
the least.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-104.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To [Unknown. Brown, Charles Brockden
http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-105.xml
In another letter he says “ the weather has lately changed
for the better, and hopes are generally entertained that the
pestilence, for so it may truly be called, will decline. As to
myself, I certainly improve, though slowly, and now entertain
very slight apprehensions of danger to myself. Still I am
anxious to leave the city. To go to Amboy and remain
there for some time, will be most eligible. This calamity has
endeared the survivors of the sacred fellowship, W. D., W.
J. and myself to each other in a very high degree; and I con-
fess my wounded spirit, and shattered frame, will be most
likely to be healed and benefitted by their society. Permit
me therefore, to decline going with you to Burlington. For
a little while at least.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-105.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To [James] Brown. Brown, Charles Brockden

http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-108.xml
After some hesitation, a stranger to the person, though not to the character of Thomas Jefferson,
ventures to intreat his acceptance of the volume by which this is accompanied. He is unacquainted with
the degree in which your time & attention is engrossed by your public office: he knows not in what
way your studious hours are distributed, & whether mere works of imagination & invention are not exclud=
=ed from your notice. He is even doubtful whether this letter will be opened or read or, if read, whether
its contents will not be instantly dismissed from your memory; so much a stranger is he, though a citizen
of the United States, to the private occupations & modes of judging of the most illustrious of his
fellow Citizens.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-L-108.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To Armitt Brown. Brown, Charles Brockden
