rest of the human race, for this is in a manner to admit that women
are a distinct class, not affected by conditions, environment,
etc., as men are. But we find a "woman question" actually
existing. A great deal of discussion has been going on as to what
is proper for woman, what her real nature is, and how many of the
duties and privileges of man she should be admitted to. Women do
not occupy the same position, socially, politically, economically,
or intellectually that men do, and her powers are not equal to her
brother's. She is daily reproached for trying to be other than she
is, and reminded that her very nature forbids her presuming to
climb out of the subserviency and inferiority which are now
undeniably her portion. Thus a "woman question" is forced upon us
whether we will or not. It is to discover, if possible, whether
she may ever become equal to and like man without perverting her
inherent nature, that this inquiry is made. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

They were all seated around
the dining-room table, making houses and furnishing them. The houses were
made out of pasteboard shoe boxes, and had square holes cut in them for doors,
and other long holes for windows, and had pasteboard chairs and tables, and
bits of dress goods for carpets and rugs, and bits of tissue paper stuck
up to the windows for lace curtains. Three of the houses were long and low,
but Bert had placed his box on one end and divided it into five stories,
and Flossie said it looked exactly like a "department" house in New York. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

35, from David Hume's essay "Of the Origin of Government"
Man, born in a family, is compelled to maintain society, from
necessity, from natural inclination, and from habit. The same
creature, in his farther progress, is engaged to establish
political society, in order to administer justice; without which
there can be no peace among them, nor safety, nor mutual
intercourse. We are, therefore, to look upon all the vast
apparatus of our government, as having ultimately no other object
or purpose but the distribution of justice, or, in other words,
the support of the twelve judges. Kings and parliaments, fleets
and armies, officers of the court and revenue, ambassadors,
ministers, and privy-counsellors, are all subordinate in their
end to this part of administration. Even the clergy, as their
duty leads them to inculcate morality, may justly be thought, so
far as regards this world, to have no other useful object of
their institution. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

347,from David Hume's essay "Of the Jealousy of Trade"
Having endeavoured to remove one species of ill-founded jealousy,
which is so prevalent among commercial nations, it may not be
amiss to mention another, which seems equally groundless. Nothing
is more usual, among states which have made some advances in
commerce, than to look on the progress of their neighbours with a
suspicious eye, to consider all trading states as their rivals,
and to suppose that it is impossible for any of them to flourish,
but at their expence. In opposition to this narrow and malignant
opinion, I will venture to assert, that the encrease of riches
and commerce in any one nation, instead of hurting, commonly
promotes the riches and commerce of all its neighbours; and that
a state can scarcely carry its trade and industry very far, where
all the surrounding states are buried in ignorance, sloth, and
barbarism. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
