Book Description
I liked this proposition very well; for the rate of interest which he offered me, would pay my daily expenses, and I could select some lots, either from his city or from Mr. Worhoss's, at my leisure. But I felt a little delicate about receiving collateral security, from a gentleman of Mr. Dooitt's wealth, and liberal feelings; so I tsld him if he would give me his own note, and name in it the rate of interest which he proposed to pay me, to guard against accidents, I would not require the collaterals.

Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ...she does for the poor. I do think, if ever there was a real christian, Miss Georgy is one." " Did her uncle oppose herjoining the chapel '1" I asked. " Vhy, Mr. Marisett, you know, is the loveliest man in the world; isu't he a perfect gentleman? Qf course he approves of every thing that is just and proper; but he was very proud of Georgiana, she was his only sister's only child, and she was highly accomplished; he did say to me, in confidence, that he thought it was a great pity for her to join any society that would in a measure prevent her accomplishments from being seen; however, he says, Mrs. Butler, there is nothing becomes a woman, after all, half so well as piety."

Just at this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the house, and Mrs. Butler hustled out of the ofiice, and left me alone 'to my thoughts. CHAPTER XIII. Love and Religion.

Excerpt from The Adventures of Harry Franco, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of the Great Panic Every body has heard of the long Embargo; but every body, it is probable, has not heard as much about it as I have. It was by that wise and patriotic measure, that my father was ruined and it will not be wondered at, that it should have formed, ever after, the staple of his conversation. It was not the fashion in those days for a man to set up his carriage after he had failed in business; so my father conformed to the custom ofthe times.
