| Rowson, Susanna (Haswell). A Present for Young Ladies. 1811. | “is the lively picture of her mind, which is the seat of honour, compassion, knowledge, and innocence. Admired by all who know her she is without affectation. She posseses the language and mien of a court, with all the simplicity and humility of a cottage. She is an exact economist without appearing busy, and strictly virtuous yet shunning applause; temperate, chaste, and simple in her habits, she devotes her time, her fortune, and the powers of her udnerstanding to the happiness of others. A lingering and painful disease put a period to her valuable life; on her death bed she assembled her friends and her household around her, and bidding them remark how the comforts of religion had supported her under the severest torture, in the most fervent manner recommended its constant practice to them. Though her birth was truly noble, it was eclipsed by her shining qualities; her modesty was so great that nothing offended her more than to publish her good deeds. Her piety towards God was ardent and unaffected, and her benevolence towards mankind such as good angels are blessed with.” | adaptation | Steele, Richard (editor).

| Sigourney, Lydia Howard (Huntley). Traits of the Aborigines of America. 1822. | Ethnography | “the ships made use of in this service, are commonly of the worst quality, old and unseaworthy, and the commanders ignorant, inexperienced, and brutal. I was on board of a vessel at the Helder, July 7th, 1817, which had formerly been a Russian ship of the line, which a Dutchman had bought for the sake of carrying German emigrants to Philadelphia. There were already four or five hundred souls on board, and the vessel was not to sail without her complement of passengers. I have found the misery of most of the German emigrants greater, and the condition of all more forlorn and helpless than I could have imagined. A ship arrived from Amsterdam at Baltimore, in the summer of 1817, the greater part of whose passengers had not paid their freight. Two families were bought by free negroes in Maryland, but the Germans resident in Baltimore were so disgusted, that they immediately rebought them, and formed an association to prevent the recurrence of any such degrading abuse.” | adaptation | [unknown] (editor).
