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.xml Tue, 16 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-06226.xml 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.xml Tue, 23 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-06257.xml 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.xml Tue, 30 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07290.xml WE arrived at a brick wall through which we passed by a gate into an extensive court or yard. The dark- ness would allow me to see nothing but outlines. Compared with the pigmy dimensions of my father's wooden hovel, the buildings before me were of gigantic loftiness. The horses were here far more magnifi- cently accommodated than I had been. By a large door we entered an elevated hall. “Stay here,” said he, “just while I fetch a light.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07290.xml Tue, 07 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07322.xml NOW I was once more on public ground. By so many anxious efforts had I disengaged myself from the perilous precincts of private property. As many stratagems as are usually made to enter an house, had been employed by me to get out of it. I was urged to the use of them by my fears; yet so far from carrying off spoil, I had escaped with the loss of an essential part of my dress. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07322.xml Tue, 14 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08008.xml 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.xml Tue, 04 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08033.xml AFTER viewing various parts of the city; intruding into churches; and diving into alleys, I returned. The rest of the day I spent chiefly in my chamber, reflecting on my new con- dition; surveying my apartment, its presses and closets; and conjecturing the causes of appearances. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08033.xml Tue, 11 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08065.xml 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.xml Tue, 18 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-08101.xml 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.xml Tue, 25 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-03228.xml [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.xml Tue, 24 Mar 1970 12:00:00 GMT
