Book Description
Excerpt from Young Maids and Old As for Miss Trowbridge, She had been born and bred in Proctor, and when the fancy seized her to build a modern house she felt no desire to go else where, but chose the high, inconvenient spot of ground in her native. Village, which from childhood had possessed a fascination for her. Not every one envied her her castle in the air, where mourning winds sighed among the pines in the spring and autumn, and wintry blasts had full sweep in their season; but no one could deny that The Eyrie for so the house was called afforded a veritable retreat in the long summer days, for there uplifted on its green hill sprinkled with gray rocks, Shade and breeze were never denied.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Little Maid of Old Philadelphia Ruth Pennell and Winifred Merrill lived in Philadelphia. The city had been for some time in the hands of General Howe and the British army. Ruth's father was with Washington at Valley Forge, and the little girls were ardent supporters of the American cause, and admirers of the gallant young Frenchman, the Marquis de Lafayette. Children in 1778 were much like those of today, and Ruth and her friends, eager as they were for the war to end successfully, were fond of dolls and pets, and games and little plays. Yet they kept their ears open, and when Ruth overheard what two British soldiers said she knew how to make good use of her knowledge. In each of the other "Little Maid" books is the story of an American girl during the Revolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ten Old Maids and Five of Them Were Wise, and Five of Them Were Foolish

Book Description
Excerpt from Ten Old Maids and Five of Them Were Wise, and Five of Them Were Foolish: A Novel I have on my table a slip of paper and I read this on it: "Please send preface to 'Ten Old Maids.'" Now who can truly tell the heart-preface to one old maid? Men who look in the u;e of an unwedded woman are apt to think she walks alone because none of his kind wanted her for a life-mate; but I believe few girls have gone far into their twenties without being asked to marry some masculine creature; I doubt not many die like the pale primroses, because the right one never said, "Wilt thou?" It is a subject of chronic marvel to me to note how men will often pass by the noblest, completest specimens of womanhood, and pick up for their having the silly, inefficient, vapid dolls, who prove to be either "spaniel fools," or "mule fools," and trammel and drag downwards their husbands from the altar to the coffin. Perhaps it is that law of life which always provides for the lame and the lazy which so frequently ties the helpless, useless female to the courageous, industrious man. Dr. Johnson says, "Men know that women are an over-match for them, and therefore they choose the weakest or most ignorant.
