Excerpt from Plain Speaking Therefore, if in this or succeeding papers I say some what hard things, I beg my readers to believe that it is not out Of a hard heart, careless of giving pain, but a sad heart, knowing that pain must be given; and that if bitter truths need to be spoken, they are better spoken by an Optimist than a pessimist, by a straightforward Christian woman than by a cynic or a laughing philoso pher.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer.

Book Description
Excerpt from Plain Sense They claim no literary merit: their aim is to interest and elicit the sympathy of others who hold similar Opinions but, possessed of more reticence than the writer, hesitate to express them in public. It is high time that the Middle Classes began to assert themselves. Hitherto the only classes whose opinions we have either heard or read are the Politicians (and others who have an axe to grind) and that most un justly denominated class, Labour, with a capital L. I have not yet seen anyone declare in print what would happen to the Middle Classes (and incidentally to English commerce) if we all Worked eight hours a day. Many of us work ten hours per diem, year in and year out, with overtime as a gentle addition. We have even been known to work on Sundays. Isn't it time. We began to take up Our stand as a not nu important section of the community? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Coming of Hester Ebby alden was hanging out the last piece of the weekly wash. It was not yet eight O'clock, but Debby was not one to be Slack about her work. She hated slop work, as She termed washing, to hang on until the middle of the morning, SO She was out Of bed at daylight and about it. She was a tall, slender woman, with clear cut features inclined toward being Sharp. She was wiry and quick of movement, with a voice that carried far when She put it to use; which was not frequent, for She was a woman of few words. She was strong in her likes and dislikes and fearless in the expression of her opinion. She was in dependent in thought and action, no one in her little world being able to force his Opinion upon her. She was a woman Of good judgment, with a large fund of practical common sense which so far had never failed her. Her mind had not received a great amount Of culture, but it was keen in its perceptions, and logical in its reasoning. Had she been a man, she might have been a criminal lawyer or a great financier. She had a fine appreciation Of humor, although She her self was far from being humorous. She was more inclined toward a sarcastic wit, which stood her in need when curiously inclined neighbors ventured too far upon her private domains. She had sprung from a long line of thrifty, honest, unpretentious, plain-speaking folk, and She was the epitome of all her forebears. Her manner was undemonstrative al most stern. If affection or love made a part of her composition, she kept them well in the background, and only a few who really understood her knew the depths Of sacrifice and devotion Of which her love was capable.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays on Freethinking and Plainspeaking This collection of certain of the earlier Essays of the late Sir Leslie Stephen was originally published in Great Britain and the United States in 1873; but the book has for a number of years been out of print. The Essays are in several respects exceptionally characteristic of the method of thought of the author, and present his opinions on certain subjects which have not received consideration in his later works. In these papers may, however, be found the germ or first suggestion of certain thoughts which, in the writings of later date, have been more fully developed. There has been for these earlier Essays among the readers of Stephen's works a continued inquiry. The publishers are, therefore, well pleased to have secured the permission of the literary executors of the author to include in their authorised edition of the Essays of Sir Leslie Stephen a reprint of this distinctive series of papers. This reprint follows precisely the text of the original issue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Köpnickerstrasse 120 Very much of the original popularity of this play and much of its present interest lies in its reflection\of Berlin middle-class humor, which in the next following years was to receive such delightful literary treatment at the hands of Julius Stinde.1 This humor varies in tone in the different social classes. The young ladies pitch it in a softer key than Friederike and she than Brohse. His humor, too, is caustic, while Seidel's is cynical, and Emilie, that plain spoken and voluble social-struggler of the lower middle class, shows it to us in its fullest development. But in them all its essence remains the same. Itis always dry, sarcastic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Merry-Go-Round With one of her relations only, Miss Dwarris found it need ful to observe a certain restraint, for Miss Ley, perhaps the most distant of her cousins, was as plain-spoken as herself, and had, besides, a far keener wit whereby she could turn rash statements to the utter ridicule of the Speaker. Nor did Miss Dwarris precisely dislike this independent Spirit; she looked upon her in fact with a certain degree of affection and not a little fear. Miss Ley, seldom lacking a repartee, ap peared really to enjoy the verbal contests, from which, by her greater urbanity, readiness, and knowledge, she usually emerged victorious: it confounded, but at the same time almost amused, the elder lady that a woman so much poorer than herself, with no smaller claims than others to the cov eted inheritance, should venture not only to be facetious at her expense, but even to carry war into her very camp. Miss Ley, really not grieved to find some one to whom without prickings of conscience she could speak her whole mind, took a grim pleasure in pointing out to her cousin the poor logic of her observations or the foolish unreason of her acts. N o cherished Opinion of Miss Dwarris was safe from satire - even her evangelicism was laughed at, and the rich old woman, un used to argument, was easily driven into self-contradiction.
