I had no previous ac- quaintance with her. Her brother is a man of letters, who, nevertheless, finds little leisure from the engage- ments of a toilsome profession. He scarcely spends an evening at home, yet takes care to invite, specially and generally to his house, every one who enjoys the reputation of learning and probity. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03198.xml Tue, 17 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03231.xml I SHALL not stop to describe the company, or to dwell on those 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 Suffice it to say, that I was, in a few minutes, respectfully withdrawn into a corner, and, fortu- nately, a near neighbour of the lady. To her, after much deliberation and forethought, I addressed myself thus: “Pray, Madam, are you a fœde- ralist?” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03231.xml Tue, 24 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03271.xml IT is evident, continued my compa- nion, that for some reason or other, the liberal professions, those which re- quire most vigour of mind, greatest ex- tent of knowledge, and most commerce with books and with enlightened so- ciety, are occupied only by men. If contrary instances occur, they are rare, and must be considered as ex- ceptions. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03271.xml Tue, 31 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04000.xml THE following Dialogue was put into my hands, the last spring, by a friend who resides at a distance, with liberty to make it public. I have since been informed that he has continued the discussion of the subject, in another dialogue. The reception which the present publication shall meet with will probably de- termine the author to withhold or print the conti- nuation. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04000.xml Mon, 27 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04299.xml THIS remark was succeeded by a pause on both sides. The lady seemed more inclined to listen than talk. At length I ventured to resume the conversation. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04299.xml Tue, 07 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04019.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04019.xml Wed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06169.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06169.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02096.xml Sir, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02096.xml Sat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-04284.xml To know the language, I must read its books. These books may be inferior to French or English; but they doubtless have an absolute, and no inconsiderable value: I may comprehend them less easily or per- fectly than English compositions; but I shall, nevertheless, obtain, in some degree, their meaning. Ger- man poetry, philosophy, and elo- quence, will, therefore, impart to me some of those benefits which eloquence, philosophy, and poetry are always qualified to give. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-04284.xml Tue, 01 Apr 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-06402.xml I WENT lately into the company of two persons, whom I will call Tom and Harry, talking very loudly upon politics. The debate, as usual, had proceeded from argu- ment to sarcasm, and from raillery to railing, and went on somewhat in this style: http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-06402.xml Sun, 01 Jun 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1802-10307.xml L. Well then, I will. I will take you at your word, yet I would not if you did not give other proofs than merely verbal ones, of curiosity and interest in my homely tale.

I had no previous acquaintance with her. Her brother is a man of letters, who, nevertheless, finds little leisure from the engagements of a toil- some profession. He scarcely spends an evening at home, yet takes care to invite, specially and generally, to his house, every one who enjoys the reputation of learning and probity. His sister became, on the death of her husband, his housekeeper. She was always at home. The guests who came in search of the man, finding him abroad, lingered a little as politeness en- joined, but soon found something in the features and accents of the lady, that induced them to prolong their stay, for their own sake: nay, without any well-defined expectation of meeting their inviter, they felt themselves disposed to repeat their visit. We must suppose the conversation of the lady not destitute of attractions; but an additional, and, perhaps, the strongest induce- ment, was the society of other visitants. The house became, length, a sort of rende... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1811-00071.xml Tue, 01 Jan 1811 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1815-02122.xml [Two Dialogues, the first on Music, the second on Painting, as a female accomplishment, or mode of gaining subsistence and fortune. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1815-02122.xml Sun, 01 Jan 1815 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1815-02128.xml L.
