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 |

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 |

for the gratification of my curiosity, it has been supposed that I did it
for the purpose of writing a book; and it has more than once been intimated
in the papers, that such a work was actually in the press, containing scenes
and sketches of the Far West. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

late at the Señora Moreno's. The Fates had seemed to combine to put
it off. In the first place, Felipe Moreno had been ill. He was the Señora's
eldest son, and since his father's death had been at the head of his mother's
house. Without him, nothing could be done on the ranch, the Señora
thought. It had been always, "Ask Señor Felipe," "Go to Señor
Felipe," "Señor Felipe will attend to it," ever since Felipe had had
the dawning of a beard on his handsome face. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
