In substance these\r\nreasons were, first, that such publication at any time during the existence of\r\nslavery might be used by the master against the slave, and prevent the future\r\nescape of any who might adopt the same means that I did. The second reason was,\r\nif possible, still more binding to silence: the publication of details would\r\ncertainly have put in peril the persons and property of those who assisted.\r\nMurder itself was not more sternly and certainly punished in the State of\r\nMaryland than that of aiding and abetting the escape of a slave. Many colored\r\nmen, for no other crime than that of giving aid to a fugitive slave, have, like\r\nCharles T. Torrey, perished in prison. The abolition of slavery in my native\r\nState and throughout the country, and the lapse of time, render the caution\r\nhitherto observed no longer necessary. But even since the abolition of slavery,\r\nI have sometimes thought it well enough to baffle curiosity by saying that\r\nwhile slavery existed there were good reasons for not telling the manner of my\r\nescape, and since slavery had ceased to exist, there was no reason for telling\r\nit. I shall now, however, cease to avail myself of this formula, and, as far as\r\nI can, endeavor to satisfy this very natural curiosity. I should, perhaps, have\r\nyielded to that feeling sooner, had there been anything very heroic or\r\nthrilling in the incidents connected with my escape, for I am sorry to say I\r\nhave nothing of that sort to tell; and yet the courage that could risk betrayal\r\nand the bravery which was ready to encounter death, if need be, in pursuit of\r\nfreedom, were essential features in the undertaking. My success was due to\r\naddress rather than courage, to good luck rather than bravery. My means of\r\nescape were provided for me by the very men who were making laws to hold and\r\nbind me more securely in slavery.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 99 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Douglass, Frederick \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 1994 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Douglass, Frederick,1818-1895 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211084791965,"sku":"gb-99-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/99_0293d042-6585-4991-9355-1ebfebbfaa46.jpg?v=1671247402"},{"product_id":"religio-medici-hydriotaphia-and-the-letter-to-a-friend-gb-586","title":"Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Letter to a Friend","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReligio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Letter to a Friend\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIR THOMAS BROWNE (whose works occupy\nso prominent a position in the literary history\nof the seventeenth century) is an author\nwho is now little known and less read.

It is a tissue\nof many languages, a mixture of heterogeneous words\nbrought together from distant regions.\nYet in spite of this qualified censure, there are\npassages in Brownes works not inferior to any in\nthe English language; and though his writings may\nnot be a well of English undefiled, yet it is the\nvery defilements that add to the beauty of the work.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 586 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Browne, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Browne, Thomas \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211150098589,"sku":"gb-586-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/586_389e60b4-9ae8-422d-811b-57fd79837d70.jpg?v=1671248422"},{"product_id":"selections-from-the-speeches-and-writings-of-edmund-burke-gb-3286","title":"Selections from the Speeches and Writings of Edmund Burke","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelections from the Speeches and Writings of Edmund Burke\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      \"Id dico, eum qui sit orator, virum bonum esse oportere.

That form of government\r\n      is the best which places the efficient direction in the hands of the\r\n      aristocracy, subjecting them in its exercise to the control of the people\r\n      at large.\"Sir James Mackintosh.\r\n    \n\r\n      The intellectual homage of more than half a century has assigned to Edmund\r\n      Burke a lofty pre-eminence in the aristocracy of mind, and we may justly\r\n      assume succeeding ages will confirm the judgment which the Past has thus\r\n      pronounced. His biographical history is so popularly known, that it is\r\n      almost superfluous to record it in this brief introduction. It may,\r\n      however, be summed up in a few sentences. He was born at Dublin in 1730.\r\n      His father was an attorney in extensive practice, and his mother's maiden\r\n      name was Nogle, whose family was respectable, and resided near Castletown,\r\n      Roche, where Burke himself received five years of boyish education under\r\n      the guidance of a rustic schoolmaster. He was entered at Trinity College,\r\n      Dublin, in 1746, but only remained there until 1749. In 1753 he became a\r\n      member of the Middle Temple, and maintained himself chiefly by literary\r\n      toil. Bristol did itself the honour to elect him for her representative in\r\n      1774, and after years of splendid usefulness and mental triumph, as an\r\n      orator, statesman, and patriot, he retired to his favourite retreat,\r\n      Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire, where he died on July 9th, 1797. He was\r\n      buried here; and the pilgrim who visits the grave of this illustrious man,\r\n      when he gazes on the simple tomb which marks the earthly resting place of\r\n      himself, brother, son, and widow, may feelingly recall his own pathetic\r\n      wish uttered some forty years before, in London:\"I would rather\r\n      sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard, than in the\r\n      tomb of the Capulets. I should like, however, that my dust should mingle\r\n      with kindred dust. The good old expression, 'family burying-ground,' has\r\n      something pleasing in it, at least to me.\" Alluding to his approaching\r\n      dissolution, he thus speaks, in a letter addressed to a relative of his\r\n      earliest schoolmaster:\"I have been at Bath these four months for no\r\n      purpose, and am therefore to be removed to my own house at Beaconsfield\r\n      to-morrow, to be nearer a habitation more permanent, humbly and fearfully\r\n      hoping that my better part may find a better mansion.\" It is a source of\r\n      deep thankfulness for those who reverence the genius and eloquence of this\r\n      great man, to state, that Burke's religion was that of the Cross, and to\r\n      find him speaking of the \"Intercession\" of our Redeeming Lord, as \"what he\r\n      had long sought with unfeigned anxiety, and to which he looked with\r\n      trembling hope.\" The commencing paragraph in his Will also authenticates\r\n      the genuine character of his personal Christianity. \"According to the\r\n      ancient, good, and laudable custom, of which my heart and understanding\r\n      recognise the propriety, I BEQUEATH MY SOUL TO GOD, HOPING FOR HIS MERCY\r\n      ONLY THROUGH THE MERITS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. My body I\r\n      desire to be buried in the church of Beaconsfield, near to the bodies of\r\n      my dearest brother, and my dearest son, in all humility praying, that as\r\n      we have lived in perfect unity together, we may together have part in the\r\n      resurrection of the just.\" (In the \"Epistolary Correspondence of the Right\r\n      Hon. Edmund Burke and Dr. French Laurence\", Rivingtons, London, 1827), are\r\n      several touching allusions to that master-grief which threw a mournful\r\n      shadow over the closing period of Burke's life. In one letter the anxious\r\n      father says, \"The fever continues much as it was. He sleeps in a very\r\n      uneasy way from time to time?-but his strength decays visibly, and his\r\n      voice is, in a manner, gone. But God is all-sufficientand surely\r\n      His goodness and his mother's prayers may do much\" (page 30). Again, in\r\n      another communication addressed to his revered correspondent, we find a\r\n      beautiful allusion to his departed son, which involves his belief in that\r\n      most soothing doctrine of the Church,a recognition of souls in the\r\n      kingdom of the Beatified. \"Here I am in the last retreat of hunted\r\n      infirmity; I am indeed 'aux abois.' But, as through the whole of a various\r\n      and long life I have been more indebted than thankful to Providence, so I\r\n      am now singularly so, in being dismissed, as hitherto I appear to be, so\r\n      gently from life, AND SENT TO FOLLOW THOSE WHO IN COURSE OUGHT TO HAVE\r\n      FOLLOWED ME, WHOM, I TRUST, I SHALL YET, IN SOME INCONCEIVABLE MANNER, SEE\r\n      AND KNOW; AND BY WHOM I SHALL BE SEEN AND KNOWN\" (pages 53, 54).\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3286 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Burke, Edmund \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 2002 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Burke, Edmund,1729-1797 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212342296733,"sku":"gb-3286-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3286_564ce78c-7561-416c-b48d-b181932e7bec.jpg?v=1671255515"},{"product_id":"thomas-davis-selections-from-his-prose-and-poetry-gb-21210","title":"Thomas Davis, Selections from his Prose and Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Davis, Selections from his Prose and Poetry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nIn the present edition of Thomas Davis it is designed to offer a selection of his writings more fully representative than has hitherto appeared in one volume.

She is\r\nnot a person to be judged by her writings alone, but rather by her own\r\ndeeds and life, than which nothing can be more exemplary or noble.'\nThe division which Miss Bront thus makes between opinions and\r\ncharacter, and again between literary production and character, is at\r\nthe root of any just criticism of the two volumes of autobiography which\r\nhave just been given to the public. Of the third volume, The\r\nMemorials, by Mrs. Chapman, it is impossible to say anything serious.\r\nMrs. Chapman fought an admirable fight in the dark times of American\r\nhistory for the abolition of slavery, but unhappily she is without\r\nliterary gifts; and this third volume is one more illustration of the\r\nfolly of entrusting the composition of biography to persons who have\r\nonly[Pg 176] the wholly irrelevant claim of intimate friendship, or kinship, or\r\nsympathy in public causes. The qualification for a biographer is not in\r\nthe least that he is a virtuous person, or a second cousin, or a dear\r\nfriend, or a trusty colleague; but that he knows how to write a book,\r\nhas tact, style, taste, considerateness, sense of proportion, and a good\r\neye for the beginnings and ends of things. The third volume, then, tells\r\nus little about the person to whom they relate. The two volumes of\r\nautobiography tell all that we can seek to know, and the reader who\r\njudges them in an equitable spirit will be ready to allow that, when all\r\nis said that can be said of her hardness, arbitrariness, and insularity,\r\nHarriet Martineau is still a singular and worthy figure among the\r\nconspicuous personages of a generation that has now almost vanished.\r\nSome will wonder how it was that her literary performances acquired so\r\nlittle of permanent value. Others will be pained by the distinct\r\nrepudiation of all theology, avowed by her with a simple and courageous\r\ndirectness that can scarcely be counted other than honourable to her.\r\nBut everybody will admit, as Charlotte Bront did, that though her books\r\nare not of the first nor of the second rank, and though her\r\nanti-theological opinions are to many so repugnant, yet behind books and\r\nopinions was a remarkable personality, a sure eye for social realities,\r\na moral courage that never flinched; a strong judgment within its\r\nlimits; a vigorous self-reliance both in opinion and act, which yet did\r\nnot prevent a habit of the most[Pg 177] neutral self-judgment; the commonplace\r\nvirtues of industry and energy devoted to aims too elevated, and too\r\nlarge and generous, to be commonplace; a splendid sincerity, a\r\nmagnificent love of truth. And that all these fine qualities, which\r\nwould mostly be described as manly, should exist not in a man but a\r\nwoman, and in a woman who discharged admirably such feminine duties as\r\nfell to her, fills up the measure of our interest in such a character.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 25793 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Morley, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 14, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Morley, John,1838-1923 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218746212509,"sku":"gb-25793-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/25793.jpg?v=1671503571"},{"product_id":"my-unknown-chum-aguecheek-gb-35412","title":"My Unknown Chum: \"Aguecheek\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy Unknown Chum: \"Aguecheek\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1878 a letter of introduction to Mr. S of\r\nDetroit was instrumental in securing for me the\r\nclose friendship of a man some twenty years my\r\nseniora man of unusual poise of mind and of such\r\nsuperb character that I have ever looked upon him\r\nas a perfect type of Newman's ideal gentleman.\nMy new friend was fond of all that is best in art\r\nand literature.

Each piece shows a master at work, melding historical knowledge and balanced judgment with crystalline prose. Foner takes up towering figures from Washington to Lincoln, Douglass, and Rosa Parks, pivotal events such as the Fugitive Slave Act and the Tulsa Race Massacre, and the fragility of constitutional guarantees to civil liberties, due process, and birthright citizenship, whether in times of war or peace.

Spearheaded by James Madison, these ten amendments, ratified in 1791, added essential freedoms, protections, and limitations to the Constitution which continue to shape the United States and the lives of its people today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditions, Mint:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Constitutional Convention\u003c\/b\u003e (1787) was a gathering of delegates in Philadelphia intended to revise the system of government established under the Articles of Confederation. The delegates, including James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, elected George Washington as President of the convention before changing course from a revision of the Articles of Confederation to a complete overhaul of the United States government and the creation of a new Constitution. After debating over the merits of James Madison's Virginia Plan and William Paterson's New Jersey Plan, delegates agreed on the former, which proposed a centralized government made up of three branches and argued for a bicameral legislature. After deliberating for a period over the Connecticut Compromise, delegates composed a draft of the Constitution which was refined and resubmitted in September to be signed by thirty-nine of the fifty-five delegates.

Nike Is a Goddess tells the dramatic story of the rise of women's sports over the last century in a series of original narratives focusing on the great female athletes whose success has changed the game and paved the way for the women and girls of today. From historic boundary breakers like Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Althea Gibson to modern-day superstars like Tara Lipinski, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Rebecca Lobo, from Gertrude Ederle's historic swim across the English Channel to Billie Jean King's victory over Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, Nike Is a Goddess tells the inspiring stories of women opening up an arena that had been closed to them. Written by top female sportswriters from such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Conde Nast Sports for Women, Women's Sports and Fitness, The Miami Herald, and Sports Illustrated, Nike Is a Goddess pays tribute to the athletes who led the way and serves as inspiration to those who will come after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lissa Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic Monthly Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871137616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1999 pg. 217","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lissa Smith \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47283300696221,"sku":"9780871137616","price":29.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_330a2cb0-f56e-4b14-a14a-70d661b00191.jpg?v=1759961835"},{"product_id":"the-decline-of-the-west-two-volumes-in-one-9781646791606","title":"The Decline of the West, Two Volumes in One","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e ...the World-War was no longer a momentary constellation of casual facts due to national sentiments, personal influences, or economic tendencies, ...but the type of a historical change of phase occurring within a great historical organism of definable compass at the point preordained for it hundreds of years ago\u003cem\u003e.\" --\u003c\/em\u003eOswald Spengler\u003cem\u003e, Decline of the West Vol. I, 1914\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Decline of the West\u003c\/em\u003e by German historian Oswald Spengler, originally published in German as \u003cem\u003eDer Untergang des Abendlandes\u003c\/em\u003e (Vols.
