Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lucy Howard´s Journal The rush of progress in our native clime is without parallel in its transforming and effacing power. The sound of the woodman´s axe yields to the hum of the village springing amid fallen trunks. The city forgets the primeval forest over whose roots it rises. Every generation takes with it to the grave some trait or treasure which it might be curious to restore or useful to cherish. The inner habitudes of the last half century are already becoming matters of tradition. Yet, as far as they are mingled with the domestic nurture of females, it is well to preserve their semblance; for if obsolete as precedents, they will become points of historic interest. Those elementary details which, from their simplicity or minuteness, seem to need excuse, involve principles or affections which have given to New En gland homes stability and comfort, as well as that affluence of virtue which has enabled them to cast freely to the young West germs that cause its wilderness to blossom as the rose.
