The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Harriet Tubman is one of America’s most beloved historical figures, revered alongside luminaries including Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman: Myth, Memory, and History tells the fascinating story of Tubman’s life as an American icon. The distinguished historian Milton C. Sernett compares the larger-than-life symbolic Tubman with the actual “historical” Tubman. He does so not to diminish Tubman’s achievements but rather to explore the interplay of history and myth in our national consciousness. Analyzing how the Tubman icon has changed over time, Sernett shows that the various constructions of the “Black Moses” reveal as much about their creators as they do about Tubman herself.Three biographies of Harriet Tubman were published within months of each other in 2003–04; they were the first book-length studies of the “Queen of the Underground Railroad” to appear in almost sixty years. Sernett examines the accuracy and reception of these three books as well as two earlier biographies first published in 1869 and 1943. He finds that the three recent studies come closer to capturing the “real” Tubman than did the earlier two. Arguing that the mythical Tubman is most clearly enshrined in stories told to and written for children, Sernett scrutinizes visual and textual representations of “Aunt Harriet” in children’s literature. He looks at how Tubman has been portrayed in film, painting, music, and theater; in her Maryland birthplace; in Auburn, New York, where she lived out her final years; and in the naming of schools, streets, and other public venues. He also investigates how the legendary Tubman was embraced and represented by different groups during her lifetime and at her death in 1913. Ultimately, Sernett contends that Harriet Tubman may be America’s most malleable and resilient icon.

'If you have a Wild, Unruly, or Undisciplined Daugher, two Ladies of Genteel Birth offer to Bring Out said Daughter and Refine what may have seemed Unrefinable. We can make the Best of the Worst'When Amy and Effie Tribble, two charming but impoverished spinster sisters, lose out on an inheritance, they place this advertisement in The Morning Post and hire themselves out as professional chaperones. Vowing to prepare even the most difficult misses for marriage, the Tribble sisters will spend a London season on each client, educating them in their School for Manners.Miss Harriet Brown, daughter of a Methodist minister, is the embodiment of propriety and Christian charity - too much so, perhaps, for her own good. The virtues Harriet possesses are far from fashionable but the Tribble sisters feel confident their new charge will attract a worthy vicar or two before the end of the season - if first they can vanquish confirmed rake and gambler Lord Charles Marsham who seems perversely determined to woo Harriet!
This concise biography of Harriet Tubman, the African American abolitionist, explores her various roles as an Underground Railroad conductor, Civil War scout and nurse, and women's rights advocate.The legendary Moses of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman was a fiery and tenacious abolitionist who organized and led African American military operations deep in the Confederacy. Harriet Tubman: A Biography relates the life story of this extraordinary woman, standing as a testament to her tenacity, drive, intelligence, and courage.In telling the remarkable story of Tubman's life, the biography examines her early years as Araminta Ross (her birth name), her escape from slavery, her activities as an Underground Railroad conductor, her involvement in the Civil War, and her role as a champion of women's rights. The book places its heroine in the broad context of her time and the movements in which she was involved, and the narrative shifts between the contextual and the personal to give the reader a strong understanding of Tubman as a woman who was shaped by, and helped to shape, the time in which she lived.
More than 30 years ago I found the Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner inside a false bottom of an old trunk lying forgotten in an enclosed garage in her house at Sea View Street in the Condado area, San Juan, Puerto Rico, just like many others diaries that have been found in dusty attics and between walls. Along with the diaries were also most treasured possessions, letters, photographs, personal notes and other remembrances of her life. It is usually considered reading a diary an invasion of privacy, especially without the permission of the author, but once the diarist is gone, such reading offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of someone we have never met. Harriet diaries reveal - not an old person looking back, in a memoir, but a young one looking at the present, and with an entire life ahead. Most of the diaries setting are in the tropical enchanted island of Puerto Rico, there the places she went, the people she met, the historical events that she witness, the scandals around her life that became published news, the falling in love with a married man, her great human experience of Love and Lust in the tropics, her international publishing career, her poetry, and her nights of bohemianism is all a True Story thru the pages of her diaries and we can join them in the immediacy of each these experiences.Harriet E. Wagner is long gone, and I think there is no more fitting tribute than to publish her diaries written in the flush of youth and on the edge of our history. This book is her diary as she wrote each volume describing her life and times on the island of Puerto Rico during the American government administration. In addition to keeping a diary, Harriet Wagner was also a prolific writer in her day. She published articles and poetry in well-known newspapers and magazines like The Herald Tribune, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Travel and The American Woman Poets magazine to name a few. Writing poetry is all about inspiration and her combining of poetry and narrative will draw the reader into Miss Wagner's world with the notion that they are actually experiencing and feeling what she went through.The diaries provide insights into the life of the Americans in Puerto Rico in the late 20's and 30's as seen through her eyes. Harriet shares her experiences with the local people, from the street vendor to the Chief of Police, a very famous architect, a Naval Commander, from federal agents to famous poets. She projects her philosophical point of view of life and how she took all the advantage possible to live her life and enjoy all kinds of experiences and give love to those who needed it. Puerto Rico is a very magical place close to the Bermuda Triangle while it's shores are constantly bathe and cares by the Caribbean Ocean. Still today can make anyone feel the sensuousness of the tropics. The book expresses all without holding anything, including the fact that she knew one day someone would find her diaries and publishes them for the world to know about, including her great love for Bill and Puerto Rico, like she wanted to do. And with that I, Carlos A. Laster, selected by Harriet Wagner herself as I believe to be the one to discover her works, and commissioned to publish her literary work, present to you "LOVE AND LUST / THE SENSUOUSNESS OF THE TROPICS / The Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner.
