Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-03021.xml Mr. Editor, http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-03021.xml Wed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT Extract from the 'Sky-Walk.'. Brown, Charles Brockden 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 For the Literary Magazine. Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist. Continued from page 114. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1805-03210.xml I RETIRED accordingly to my apartment, and spent the prescribed hour in anxious and irresolute re- flections. They were no other than had hitherto occurred, but they oc- curred with more force than ever. Some fatal obstinacy, however, got possession of me, and I persisted in the resolution of concealing one thing. We become fondly attached to objects and pursuits, frequently for no conceivable reason but the pain and trouble they cost us. In proportion to the danger in which they involve us do we cherish them. Our darling potion is the poison that scorches our vitals. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1805-03210.xml Fri, 01 Mar 1805 12:00:00 GMT For the Literary Magazine. Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist. Continued from vol. II, page 252. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1805-02110.xml THE books which composed this little library were chiefly the voya- ges and travels of the missionaries of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Added to these were some works upon political economy and legislation. Those writers who have amused themselves with re- ducing their ideas to practice, and drawing imaginary pictures of na- tions or republics, whose manners or government came up to their standard of excellence, were, all of whom I had ever heard, and some I had never heard of before, to be found in this collection. A transla- tion of Aristotle's republic, the poli- tical romances of sir Thomas Moore, Harrington, and Hume, appeared to have been much read, and Ludlow had not been sparing of his marginal comments. In these writers he appeared to find nothing but error and absurdity; and his notes were introduced for no other end than to point out groundless principles and false conclusions….. The style of these remarks was al- ready familiar to me. I saw no- thing new in them, or different from the ... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1805-02110.xml Fri, 01 Feb 1805 12:00:00 GMT For the Literary Magazine. Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist. Continued. [No.7]. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-07248b.xml LUDLOE'S remarks on the se- ductive and bewitching powers of women, on the difficulty of keeping a secret which they wish to know, and to gain which they employ the soft artillery of tears and prayers, and blandishments and menaces, are familiar to all men, but they had little weight with me, because they were unsupported by my own ex- perience. I had never had any in- tellectual or sentimental connection with the sex. My meditations and pursuits had all led a different way, and a bias had gradually been given to my feelings, very unfavour- able to the refinements of love. I acknowledge, with shame and re- gret, that I was accustomed to re- gard the physical and sensual con- sequences of the sexual relation as realities, and every thing intellec- tual, disinterested, and heroic, which enthusiasts connect with it as idle dreams. Besides, said I, I am yet a stranger to the secret, on the pre- servation of which so much stress is laid, and it will be optional with me to receive it or not. If, in the progress of... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-07248b.xml Sun, 01 Jul 1804 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11100.xml I was the second son of a farmer, whose place of residence was a wes- tern district of Pennsylvania. My eld- est brother seemed fitted by nature for the employment to which he was destined. His wishes never led him astray from the hay-stack and the furrow. His ideas never ranged beyond the sphere of his vision, or suggested the possibility that to-morrow could differ from to- day. He could read and write, be- cause he had no alternative between learning the lesson prescribed to him, and punishment. He was di- ligent, as long as fear urged him forward, but his exertions ceased with the cessation of this motive. The limits of his acquirements con- sisted in signing his name, and spel- ling out a chapter in the bible. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11100.xml Tue, 01 Nov 1803 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-01255.xml I had taken much pains to im- prove the sagacity of a favourite Spaniel. It was my purpose, indeed, to ascertain to what degree of im- provement the principles of reason- ing and imitation could be carried in a dog. There is no doubt that the animal affixes distinct ideas to sounds. What are the possible limits of his vocabulary no one can tell. In conversing with my dog I did not use English words, but selected simple monosyllables. Ha- bit likewise enabled him to compre- hend my gestures. If I crossed my hands on my breast he understood the signal and laid down behind me. If I joined my hands and lifted them to my breast, he returned home. If I grasped one arm above the elbow he ran before me. If ... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-01255.xml Sun, 01 Jan 1804 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist [No. 4]. (Continued from page 259.). Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-02332.xml My visits gradually became more frequent. Meanwhile my wants increased, and the necessity of some change in my condition be- came daily more urgent. This in- cited my reflections on the scheme which I had formed. The time and place suitable to my design, were not selected without much anxious inquiry and frequent wa- verings of purpose. These being at length flexed, the interval, to elapse, before the carrying of my design into effect, was not without perturbation and suspense. These could not be concealed from my new friend and at length prompted him to inquire into the cause. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-02332.xml Wed, 01 Feb 1804 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist [No. 5].

Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-04003.xml IN answer to the reveries and spe- culations which I sent to him re- specting this subject, Ludloe inform- ed me, that they had led his mind into a new sphere of meditation. He had long and deeply considered in what way he might essentially pro- mote my happiness. He had enter- tained a faint hope that I would one day be qualified for a station like that to which he himself had been advanced. This post required an elevation and stability of views which human beings seldom reach, and which could be attained by me only by a long series of heroic labours. Hitherto every new stage in my in- tellectual progress had added vigour to his hopes, and he cherished a stronger belief than formerly that my career would terminate auspi- ciously. This, however, was neces- sarily distant. Many preliminaries must first be settled; many arduous accomplishments be first obtained; and my virtue be subjected to severe trials. At present it was not in his power to be more explicit; but if my reflections suggested no better plan, h... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-04003.xml Sun, 01 Apr 1804 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist [No. 6]. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-05089.xml MEANWHILE, in a point of so much moment, I was not hasty to determine. My delay seemed to be, by no means, unacceptable to Lud- loe, who applauded my discretion, and warned me to be circumspect. My attention was chiefly absorb- ed by considerations connected with this subject, and little regard was paid to any foreign occupation or amusement. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-05089.xml Tue, 01 May 1804 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist [No. II]. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-12181.xml My father's sister was an ancient lady, resident in Philadelphia, the relict of a merchant, whose decease left her the enjoyment of a frugal competence. She was without children, and had often expressed her desire that her nephew Frank, whom she always considered as a sprightly and promising lad, should be put under her care. She offered to be at the expense of my educa- tion, and to bequeath to me at her death her slender patrimony. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-12181.xml Thu, 01 Dec 1803 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Stephen Calvert. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06191.xml YES, my friend, I admit the justice of your claim. There is but one mode of appeasing your wonder at my present condition, and that is the relation of the events of my life. This will amply justify my choice of an abode in these mountainous and unvisited recesses, and explain why I thus anxiously shut out from my retreat the foot- steps and society of men. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06191.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT Memoirs of Stephen Calvert.
