Book Description
Excerpt from The Wanderer, Vol. 2 Yes, - yes, I answered eagerly. The paper was instantly thrust into my hands, and I heard a sound of steps retreating rapidly. I lost not a moment in reading the few words it contained. Be here to morrow evening at the same hour. I have suffered much on your account, - destroy this. It was the hand of my brother Juan, that hand so well remem bered from our late eventful correspondence, - that hand whose traces I never beheld without feeling corresponding characters of hope and confidence re traced in my soul, as lines before invisible appear on exposure to the heat that seems to vivify them. I am surprised that between this and the following evening my agitation did not betray me to the com munity. But perhaps it is only agitation arising from frivolous causes, that vents itself in external indications, - I was absorbed in mine. It is certain, at least, that my mind was all that day vacillating like a clock that struck every minute the alternate sounds, There is hope, - there is no hope. The day, - the eternal day, was at last over.. Evening came on; how I watched the advancing shades! At vespers, with what delight did I trace the gradual mellowing of the gold and purple tinges that gleamed through the great eastern window, and cal culated that their western decline, though slower.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wanderer, Vol. 2 Pandere res alta terrâ et caligine mersas. I'll shew your Grace the strangest sight, - Body o'me, what is it, Butts? - Henry the Eighth. "Of the desolation of mind into which the rejection of my appeal plunged me, I can give no account, for I retain no distinguishing image. All colours disappear in the night, and despair has no diary, - monotony is her essence and her curse. Hours have I walked in the garden, without retaining a single impression but that of the sounds of my footsteps; - thought, feeling, passion, and all that employs them, - life and futurity, extinct and swallowed up. I was already like an inhabitant of the land where "all things are forgotten." I hovered on the regions of mental twilight, where the "light is as darkness."

Not illustrated. 1814 edition. Excerpt: ... her ultimate project; and to put them into practice. Mr. Naird archly confessed, in private, to Juliet, that the real danger or safety of Miss Joddrel, so completely hung upon giving the reins, or the curb, to her passions, that she might, without much difficulty, from her resolution to die no other death than that of heroic love, in the presence of its idol, be spurred on, while awaiting, or pursuing, its object, to the verge of a very comfortable old age. He acknowledged himself, also, secretly entrusted with the abode of Mr. Harleigh. Elinor, when somewhat calmed, demanded of Juliet when, and how, her meetings with Harleigh had been renewed. Juliet recounted what had passed; sparing such details as might be. hurtful, and solemnly protesting that all intercourse was now at an end. With a view to draw Elinor from this agitating subject, she then related, at full length, her meeting, in the churchyard, with the friend whom she had so long vainly sought. In a short time afterwards, feeling herself considerably advanced towards a recovery, Elinor, impetuously, again sent for Juliet, to say, " What is your plan? Tell it me sincerely! What is it you mean to do?" Juliet answered, that her choice was small, and that her means were almost null: but when she lamented the severe DIFFICULTIES of a FEMALE, who, without fortune or protection, had her way to make in the world, Elinor, with strong derision, called out, " Debility and folly! Put aside your prejudices, and forget that you are a dawdling woman, to remember that you are an active human being, and your Female DiffiCulties will vanish into the vapour of which they are formed. Misery has taught me to conquer mine! and I am now as ready to defy the woild, as the world can be ready to hold me...

Book Description
Excerpt from Melmoth the Wanderer, Vol. 2 of 4: A Tale Lent was now begun, - all the com munity were preparing themselves for the great confession. They shut themselves Up, - they prostrated themselves before the shrines of the saints, - they occupied them selves whole hours in taking minutes of their consciences, and magnifying the tri vial defects of conventual discipline into offences in the eye of God, in order to give consequence to their penitence in the hearing of the confessor, -in fact, they would have been glad to accuse themselves of a crime, to escape from the monotony of a monastic conscience. There was a kind of silent bustle in the house, that very much favoured my pur poses. Hour after hour I demanded pa per for' my confession. I obtained it, but my frequent demands excited suspicion.
