Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Across the Isthmus to in California in ´52 Advance sheets of Dickens came over fortnightly, and little coteries of ladies were formed here and there to read them aloud. Afterwards came a most distracting discussion of the probable outcome of the story. The first School of Design was started in a small room over a store; and the first woman´s rights convention - of Boston women mostly - was held in Worcester. Mesmerism and table-tippings were looking up, and clairvoyants were doing a thriving business, not only in diagnosing diseases, but in prescribing for them. In those years the Republican party got its first recognition - not as a whole, but by getting a Locofoco plank inserted in a party platform. Webster was no longer the idol of the Whigs. His advocacy of the Fugitive Slave Law had deposed him, and the city went wild over the attempts to enforce that law. A friend of mine was sitting quietly at her window opening on Bowdoin Square one day, when she saw a carriage driven in from Court Square, a block away.
