 Title:  The Man versus the State  
 Published:  2001 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Most of those who now pass as Liberals, are Tories of a new type. This is a paradox which I propose to justify. That I may justify it, I must first point out what the two political parties originally were; and I must then ask the reader to bear with me while I remind him of facts he is familiar with, that I may impress on him the intrinsic natures of Toryism and Liberalism properly so called.

 Description: I WAS returning home by the fields. It was midsummer; the hay harvest was over, and they were just beginning to reap the rye. At that season of the year there is a delightful variety of flowers — red white and pink scented tufty clover; milk-white ox-eye daisies with their bright yellow centres and pleasant spicy smell; yellow honey-scented rape blossoms; tall campanulas with white and lilac bells, tulip-shaped; creeping vetch; yellow red and pink scabious; plantains with faintly-scented neatly-arranged purple, slightly pink-tinged blossoms; cornflowers, bright blue in the sunshine and while still young, but growing paler and redder towards evening or when growing old; and delicate quickly-withering almond-scented dodder flowers. I gathered a large nosegay of these different flowers, and was going home, when I noticed in a ditch, in full bloom, a beautiful thistle plant of the crimson kind, which in our neighborhood they call "Tartar," and carefully avoid when mowing — or, if they do happen to cut it down, throw out from among the grass for fear of pricking their hands. Thinking to pick this thistle and put it in the center of my nosegay, I climbed down into the ditch, and, after driving away a velvety bumble-bee that had penetrated deep into one of the flowers and had there fallen sweetly asleep, I set to work to pluck the flower. But this proved a very difficult task. Not only did the stalk prick on every side — even through the handkerchief I wrapped round my hand — but it was so tough that I had to struggle with it for nearly five minutes, breaking the fibres one by one; and when I had at last plucked it, the stalk was all frayed, and the flower itself no longer seemed so fresh and beautiful. Moreover, owing to a coarseness and stiffness, it did not seem in place among the delicate blossoms of my nosegay. I felt sorry to have vainly destroyed a flower that looked beautiful in its proper place, and I threw it away.

 Title:  The theory of the leisure class; an economic study of institutions  
 Published:  2001 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: The institution of a leisure class is found in its best development at the higher stages of the barbarian culture; as, for instance, in feudal Europe or feudal Japan. In such communities the distinction between classes is very rigorously observed; and the feature of most striking economic significance in these class differences is the distinction maintained between the employments proper to the several classes. The upper classes are by custom exempt or excluded from industrial occupations, and are reserved for certain employments to which a degree of honour attaches. Chief among the honourable employments in any feudal community is warfare; and priestly service is commonly second to warfare. If the barbarian community is not notably warlike, the priestly office may take the precedence, with that of the warrior second. But the rule holds with but slight exceptions that, whether warriors or priests, the upper classes are exempt from industrial employments, and this exemption is the economic expression of their superior rank. Brahmin India affords a fair illustration of the industrial exemption of both these classes. In the communities belonging to the higher barbarian culture there is a considerable differentiation of sub-classes within what may be comprehensively called the leisure class; and there is a corresponding differentiation of employments between these sub-classes. The leisure class as a whole comprises the noble and the priestly classes, together with much of their retinue. The occupations of the class are correspondingly diversified; but they have the common economic characteristic of being non-industrial. These non-industrial upper-class occupations may be roughly comprised under government, warfare, religious observances, and sports.

 Description: After receiving your very welcome letter last evening, I seal myself to comply with your request to write you. Your letter gave some very pleasant feelings and again it some feelings amounting almost to pain. because I thought there was a little considerable,, of flattery min- gled with it. Perhaps if you had been in the room when I read your letter, you might have seen me indulge a very little in that feminine weakness of blushing for indeed I was surprised. There is always some thing so disgusting to flattery in any form and especially when it from those that I wish to call by the endering name of friend that for the moment it creates within my heart a strange sensation that is hard to conquer I do not say this as a reproof. but that I may be understood. you may not have meant it for flattery but I took it as such, so if you value my friendship please do avoid flattery in every form towards me.

 Description: After waiting long and anxiously I at last recieved your kind letter dated Sept. 16 Indeed I was surprised when I recieved it for I had almost dispaired the hope of hearing from you again. and having heard since you left Camp Dennison I thing that you must have felt somewhat relieved when you found yourself down the. You must have felt freed to some extent. I think that I should enjoy a ride on that , with it guarded by some of the gallant seventh. You spoke of your feelings during the fight of as being indescribable Perhaps they were similar to mine when I first heard of the fight Not knowing who were safe and who were not and also hearing that that idolized brother had passed into the cold hands of death you will not wonder that my feelings were sad and voluntarily turned to Charlie wondering if he too had entered that narrow void. It was then I again felt that strange sensation mingled with pity that I wrote you of when I first became acquainted with you I was then I really longed to hear from you but did not have the pleasure till last eve You wrote of sending a letter after recieving mine which I did not recieve Perhaps I will yet but do not think so Charlie I wish I could collect my scattered thoughts enough to write something worthy your perusal. but that seems impossible I wrote a letter to Hallie a few days ago including a few lines to you do you know whether he recieved it or not I sincerely hope you did. I read of the fight in which Col. Lowe fell. Noble man he died a cruel yet noble death It seems, when I realize the privations of. war, cruel for our (for our) brave youths to fall on the battle field with no kind friend to sooth and comfort them. But I would not sadden your thoughts. If you were here would we not have a nice ring? We miss Hal very much when we round the old while away the hours in music. He would never give us any peace till we would play and sing with him. Charlie I have a sweet little friend here in Mecca If it were not for her I would be very lonesome indeed. We are almost constantly together her name is Dora Leslie I wish you were acquainted with her. She is gentle and kind and still she is as perfect a piece of female vanity as I ever became acquainted with. [W or Sh]e attends the same school the same lesson and occupy the same seat. In fact some have intimated that our friendship was more for the sake of her brother and Hal than for each other (Ridicalous) If Hal knew who told me so he would laugh some. I saw Edwin Williams about two weeks ago. he said when I wrote to Hal to send word to Will. Braden that he was well and would like to see him. He wish very much to go to war again but does not health will permit him to do so. Charlie what a quiet day this is This morning it was warm and the sun was shining so beautifully but now hardly clouds have gathered together and completely obscured the sun. a slow drizzling rain is falling as if nature was shedding a few silent tears that the summer is ended and the cold winter is fast approaching. When the rain is falling in torrents I always turn my thoughts to the soldiers wondering when and how they are I do you if you will be obliged to camp out this winter Charlie you know not how many silent petitions have been sent to that high throne for your safety and darling Hallie's I sometimes wonder why life is so strange and why I am to this dull routine of life You may think that I have strange feelings indeed I have at times I know not for what I live. Do I do any good in the world? I fear not But what am I writing My thoughts have been way down south in Ole Virginny with Hal to day more than usual, and I scarcely know what I write Charlie are you fasting to day Dora to ask you she says tell him Addie and I are on green apples But I guess you will be tired when you have finished this nonsense give my love to Hallie and Please write soon and oblige me

 Description: I have returned from school but how should I answer your kind letter: If I should answer it as Irecievedit; it would be with bitter oh, such bitter tears. Should I tell you why I wept? No, dear Charlie I cannot now perhaps I never can, but be assured my reasons are resistless. Dear Charlie my spirit has striven to watch over and guard thee, and hourly & fervant prayers has risen to the throne of Grace for your safety. But that prayer was only as a true and loving sister would pray for a brother. I have striven aquired any other feeling save a sisterly love and Dear CharlieI if I have caused any other feeling to rise in your heart save the feeling of friendship I entreat of you to forgive me for I did it unintentionly. And if you cherish such feelings toward me Dear Charlie for my sake and for the sake of your future happiness quench them. Promise me that you will. Only remember me as a sister or a friend.
