Woman in music

George P. (George Putnam) Upton

**A fascinating exploration of the women who helped shape the history of music.** In *Woman in Music*, **George P. Upton** turns his attention to the often overlooked role of women in the development of musical culture, tracing their contributions as composers, performers, singers, patrons, and influential figures in the musical world. Written from the perspective of its era, the book introduces readers to remarkable women associated with classical music and examines the changing place of women within musical life. Upton combines biography, history, anecdote, and musical commentary to illuminate careers and achievements that were too often overshadowed in traditional accounts of music history. The result is both a historical survey and a revealing cultural document. Modern readers can discover the musicians Upton considered significant while also observing how women's artistic opportunities and accomplishments were understood and described in an earlier period. For students of music history, women's history, and nineteenth-century cultural writing, *Woman in Music* offers an intriguing window into a world in which women were increasingly establishing themselves on the concert stage, in musical institutions, and as creative artists in their own right. **Recommended for readers interested in:** * Women in classical music * Women composers and musicians * Music history * Classical composers and performers * Women's cultural history * Historical biographies * Nineteenth-century music * Forgotten figures in the arts **Author:** George P. Upton **Genre:** Music History · Biography · Cultural History A rediscovered work for anyone interested in the musicians, performers, and pioneering women whose stories form an important part of music history.

... Et l'horreur des responsabilités (suite au Culte de l'incompétence)

Émile Faguet

"... Et l''horreur des responsabilités (suite au Culte de l''incompétence)" by Faguet is a political and legal essay written in the early 20th century. It contends that modern French institutions are consciously arranged to evade responsibility, with special emphasis on how the judiciary and public life shift blame onto laws, superiors, and the state. The work continues the author’s broader critique of civic incompetence by examining law, professions, family, and social customs through a sharp, polemical lens. The opening of the treatise argues that the French strive to be irresponsible and first targets legal ideas and customs. It claims that, since the Revolution, judges are reduced to automatic applicators of statutes, shedding moral responsibility, unlike the old French magistrates, English judges, or Roman praetors who shaped law and felt its burdens. Beccaria’s case for strict textualism is invoked to show how fear of “the spirit of the law” also shelters judges from blame. The author defends the Ancien Régime’s sale of judicial offices (following Montesquieu and La Beaumelle against Voltaire) as a paradoxical guarantee of independence, and argues the Revolution annexed justice to the executive, making government the true judge. He then illustrates politicized judging: the Paris court’s condemnation of Cardinal Luçon, allegedly based on ministry assurances and a distorted quotation, and the 1906 Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus affair, said to have inverted a legal article to avoid a new court-martial—thus appeasing power while keeping the case unresolved. The narrative widens to show executive and parliamentary encroachment, the sway of deputies and local “governments,” and echoes of Guizot and Poincaré on the danger of politics in the courts. In sum, the beginning portrays a judiciary doubly shielded—by literalism and by obedience—leaving justice in the hands of an irresponsible authority. (This is an automatically generated summary.)

The works of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D. D. in nine volumes (volume 1 of 9)

Isaac Watts

"The works of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D. D. in nine volumes (volume 1 of 9)" by Watts is a collection of sermons and theological writings written in the early 18th century. This volume combines a memoir of Isaac Watts with a pastoral dedication, a practical preface, and forty-three sermons that teach core Christian doctrines and everyday piety. It emphasizes the inward witness of faith, Christian morality, the atonement of Christ, and the right use of life and death, aiming to guide believers in clear, devotional, and useful religion. The opening of this volume presents a contents list followed by a substantial memoir that traces Watts’s life, character, and ministry: his early brilliance and nonconformist convictions, rigorous studies, pastoral leadership in London, seasons of debilitating illness, long residence with Sir Thomas Abney, charitable spirit, lucid and fervent preaching, wide-ranging publications (from hymns to logic and The Improvement of the Mind), ecumenical friendships, and serene, confident death. A heartfelt dedication to his Berry-street congregation explains that, constrained by ill health, he offers printed sermons to serve them from his retirement. The preface sets his aim to make doctrine plain, practical, and suitable for family reading, favoring heart-changing instruction over speculative display. At the start of Sermon I (“The Inward Witness to Christianity”), he argues that believers possess an internal testimony to the truth of the gospel (1 John 5:10), urging readers to ground their faith on solid evidence before examining their personal interest in its promises.

The pedigree of fascism : A popular essay on the Western philosophy of politics

Aline Lion

The pedigree of fascism : A popular essay on the Western philosophy of… by Aline Lion is a political-philosophical essay written in the early 20th century. It examines Italian Fascism as both a national outgrowth and a universal doctrine, setting it against the political history of post-unification Italy and the broader currents of European thought. The work aims to clarify for general readers what Fascism claims to be, how it arose, and why its philosophy should not simply be exported, while situating its roots from the Risorgimento and World War I to an intellectual lineage running from the Renaissance to Croce and Gentile. The opening of the book asks whether Fascism is a revolution and answers by defining it as a new, immanent relation between State and citizen that rejects “natural rights,” binds rights to duties, and treats citizenship as a moral-spiritual practice. It contrasts universal ideas with their local, historical “form,” likens this to the French Revolution, and then surveys Italy’s political path: an elite-led Risorgimento that unified the state but ignored social and economic realities; a Liberalism that imported foreign models, mishandled Church-state tensions, and lacked party discipline; Socialism that awakened workers yet tilted toward materialist aims and coercive tactics; and Nationalism that was lofty but too external and statist. The narrative moves through Italy’s hesitant neutrality and irredentist push into World War I, arguing that the war (especially after Caporetto) forged a genuine national conscience, turning subjects into citizens—the true culmination of the Risorgimento—only for postwar disillusion, factory seizures, and Fiume to expose a hollow state. It concludes this opening movement by presenting Fascism as a practical, anti-ideological method that synthesizes class interests through duty-bound citizenship and order, then pivots to its philosophical pedigree, introducing Fascism’s aim-centered method, Gentile’s idea of liberty as the identification of wills (illustrated by a team captain), and the early modern roots of competing “realities” (Bruno’s historical, Bacon’s empirical, Descartes’ rational).

Collected writings of Clarence Edwin Flynn, first series : 1929 and earlier

Clarence Edwin Flynn

"Collected writings of Clarence Edwin Flynn, first series : 1929 and earlier" by Clarence Edwin Flynn is a collection of essays and articles written in the early 20th century. The anthology spans humorous vignettes, cultural commentary, and predominantly Christian addresses that advocate moral uplift, practical faith, and civic responsibility. Readers can expect reflections on literature, music, education, public life, and guidance for ministers and young people, all delivered in clear, persuasive prose. The opening of this collection presents a transcriber’s note and a preface situating Flynn as a Methodist minister and broad-ranging periodical writer, explaining how the pieces were identified and arranged, followed by a categorized table of contents. It then moves from light humor (two street-scene anecdotes and a quip about a “modern grandmother”) into substantial essays: a call for writers to steward public opinion responsibly (invoking Grotius, Stowe, and Sinclair), meditations on the Washington Monument as a symbol of American fortitude and honesty, and postwar literary forecasts urging truthfulness and practical focus. Further pieces defend free verse as an ancient, legitimate form, read music as a mirror of historical spirit, and offer crisp counsel on effective business correspondence. A substantial religious section follows, diagnosing Sabbath decline and modern restlessness, praising “light” as truth and education, reframing Christ’s “yoke” as help rather than burden, urging room for Jesus amid busyness, and linking liberty to sacrifice. It defines the church’s spiritual core, sketches a practical, unified, optimistic “religion of the new age,” connects Christianity with American civic virtue, promotes personal evangelism, addresses youth with concrete remedies, and affirms resurrection hope—concluding mid-argument with a call to test faith by lived experience.

Old world masters in new world collections

Esther Singleton

"Old World Masters in New World Collections" by Esther Singleton is an illustrated art history survey and catalogue written in the early 20th century. It documents European Old Master paintings that entered American private collections, blending brief school overviews with focused entries on individual works, their provenance, former owners, and aesthetic qualities. The volume foregrounds beauty, downplays martyrdom and violence, and underscores the roles of prominent collectors and dealers—especially Sir Joseph Duveen—in shaping America as a new repository of masterpieces. The opening of this volume presents a preface asserting the book’s novelty and scope, crediting American collectors and Duveen’s influence, listing celebrated works with illustrious provenances, arguing for the superior selectiveness of American collections, and declaring a “Beauty”-driven selection while noting extraordinary valuations. It then outlines the contents by national schools and begins with a clear, contextual primer on Sienese painting as a refined Gothic offshoot with Byzantine and possible Oriental affinities. Early entries describe Sassetta’s St. Francis scenes, Matteo di Giovanni’s brocaded Madonna, and Benvenuto di Giovanni’s lively Adoration, each with vivid formal analysis and ownership history. A broader Florentine survey follows—linking Cimabue, Giotto, guilds, and Medici patronage to the Renaissance—before concise entries on a Giotto Madonna, Masolino’s architectural Annunciation, Fra Angelico’s angel and Virgin diptych and a Cosmas-and-Damianus predella scene, and a Fra Filippo Lippi Madonna, all characterized by precise iconography, technique, and provenance.

The wilderness

Amy E. (Amy Eleanor) Mack

"The wilderness by Amy E. Mack" is a lyrical nature essay written in the early 20th century. Set in a suburban Australian patch of reclaimed garden now overrun by native bush, it celebrates urban wildness—its plants, birds, insects, and nocturnal animals—and argues for the quiet riches of leaving small sanctuaries where nature can thrive. The narrator lovingly traces the seasons in this bush-girt haven: fruit trees mingling with wattles, mistletoe, native cherry, and a beloved white cedar that invites birds to feast and sing. By day the place hums with life—cicadas, butterflies, dragonflies, ants, spiders—and a dazzling array of birds, from bright parrots and honeyeaters to butcher-birds, thrushes, cuckoos, and the gentle mistletoe-bird. At night bandicoots rustle, ring-tailed and big possums travel the treetops, and owls and mopokes hunt in silence, while after rain the creek swells and a comic, exuberant chorus of frogs begins. The piece closes as a quiet plea for keeping such patches wild, showing how even a small refuge in a suburb can shelter a rich, intimate world of living things.

The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 6 (of 6) : Containing all his sermons and tracts, etc.

George Whitefield

"The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 6 (of 6) : Containing…." by George Whitefield is a collection of sermons written in the late 18th century. This volume gathers evangelical preaching on repentance, faith, grace, and the work of the Holy Spirit, pressing hearers to turn from sin and embrace Christ. Its themes emphasize heartfelt conversion over outward religiosity, urgent calls to accept the gospel now, and warnings against self-righteousness. Readers can expect fervent appeals, vivid biblical exposition, and practical exhortation aimed at personal renewal. The opening of the volume presents transcriber’s notes, a title page, and an extensive contents list of sermons keyed to scripture, then launches into preaching. Sermon XXXII (“A Penitent Heart”) defines true repentance as a God-wrought inner change—sorrow for sin, hatred of it, and forsaking it—explains its causes in divine grace, argues its necessity for salvation, and urges immediate turning to Christ with strong warnings and tender encouragements to great sinners and counsel to grateful believers. Sermon XXXIII (“The Gospel Supper”) expounds Luke’s parable of the great banquet, rebukes worldly excuses, traces its fulfillment from Jews to Gentiles, defends field-preaching, and warmly invites the poor and outcast to come to Christ while warning of the peril of refusal. Sermon XXXIV (“The Pharisee and Publican”) begins by exposing natural self-righteousness, contrasts Pharisee and Publican in the temple, critiques boastful prayer and judging others, and cautions against trusting in religious acts like fasting and tithing as grounds of justification.

Liberty and the news

Walter Lippmann

"Liberty and the news by Walter Lippmann" is a collection of political essays written in the early 20th century. It is a non-fiction tract that examines how freedom, public opinion, and journalism intersect, with a concise focus on the crisis of news reliability and its consequences for democratic self-government. The book argues that democracy cannot function without a steady flow of truthful, relevant, and intelligible news. It critiques the press for subordinating truth to patriotic edification, shows how classical defenses of free speech (from Milton and Mill to Russell) collapse when facts are missing, and explains how complexity, distance, and propaganda create a pseudo-environment that misleads the public and empowers demagogues. The author shifts the liberty debate from policing opinions to protecting the sources, organization, and comprehension of information. He proposes practical reforms: transparent sourcing and documentation, stronger accountability for falsehoods, professional training for reporters in evidence and language, and independent institutes to record and analyze government and public affairs. He urges universities to support this work and calls for an endowed, editorially neutral news service to compete with biased structures. The core message is that genuine liberty is secured by institutions that make facts accessible and trustworthy, so public opinion can be both free and responsible.

The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 5 (of 6) : Containing all his sermons and tracts, etc.

George Whitefield

"The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 5 (of 6) : Containing…." by George Whitefield is a collection of sermons written in the late 18th century. The volume gathers evangelical expositions on Scripture that press themes of human sin, Christ’s redeeming work, conversion, holy living, and practical devotion. Expect vigorous, plainspoken appeals, doctrinal clarity about grace versus works, and pastoral guidance for daily piety. The opening of the volume presents transcriber’s notes, a title page outlining sermons, tracts, and letters, a detailed contents list, and then launches into the sermons. Sermon I expounds Genesis 3:15, retelling the Fall, exposing Satan’s subtlety, contrasting human fig‑leaf righteousness with God’s grace, identifying the “seed of the woman” as Christ, and arguing that salvation rests on the covenant of grace rather than human conditions; it urges believers to expect persecution yet promises Christ’s ultimate victory. Sermon II, on “Walking with God” (Genesis 5:24), defines such walking as reconciliation through Christ, habitual communion, and steady growth, and prescribes means—Scripture, secret prayer, meditation, reading providence, heeding the Spirit by the Word, ordinances, and fellowship—before motivating hearers by the honour, joy, and heavenly end of such a life, with pointed calls to sinners, saints, and ministers. Sermon III begins the testing of Abraham (Genesis 22), distinguishing God’s trials from temptations to evil and highlighting Abraham’s ready obedience, but the excerpt breaks off as that exposition gets underway.

Le droit à la paresse : réfutation du droit au travail de 1848

Paul Lafargue

Le droit à la paresse : réfutation du droit au travail de 1848 by Paul Lafargue is a political-economic essay and socialist polemic written in the late 19th century. It challenges the capitalist cult of work and the liberal “right to work,” instead advocating the right to leisure as a foundation for human flourishing. The book denounces the moral, religious, and economic glorification of labor, arguing that overwork degrades bodies and minds, exploits women and children, and fuels overproduction, crises, and poverty. Drawing on historical contrasts with ancient disdain for servile toil, factory reports of brutal hours, and the absurdities of bourgeois consumption and colonial expansion, it claims machines should liberate people rather than enslave them. It calls to ration labor across the year, reduce daily work to three hours, expand rest and festivals, and raise workers’ consumption so production serves life. A satirical finale and an appendix of classical authorities reinforce the central demand: reject the “right to work,” and embrace leisure as the mother of arts and virtues.

The organisation of thought, educational and scientific

Alfred North Whitehead

"The organisation of thought, educational and scientific" by Alfred North Whitehead is a collection of essays on education and the philosophy of science written in the early 20th century. It advocates a living, integrated approach to learning that unites theory with practice, rejects “inert ideas,” and reshapes curricula—especially mathematics and technical training—to cultivate judgment, creativity, and style. The volume likely moves from classroom reform and the social purpose of technical education to broader reflections on scientific concepts and how thought is organized. The opening of this volume sets its scope in a preface—first essays on education, then pieces on the philosophy of science—before launching, amid wartime urgency, a plea for reform. Chapter I lays down two rules (teach few subjects, teach them thoroughly), attacks inert information, argues that proof and use must go together, criticizes uniform external examinations, and defines education as cultivating culture, expertise, and “style,” closing with duty and reverence as its moral core. Chapter II reframes technical education as inherently liberal, insisting that joy in work, moral vision, and art power skilled labor, invention, and enterprise, and that manual craft, science, and literature must interpenetrate. It sketches three intertwined curricula (literary, scientific, technical), stresses hand–eye practice, proposes broad, non-narrow training linked to appropriate sciences, and treats literature as enjoyment rather than grammar. Chapter III, a prize-day address, praises perseverance in wartime, calls students to public service, and urges the Polytechnic to be a civic center where art, recreation, and craft elevate work—linking Southwark’s theatrical heritage to modern industry and casting the institute as an “arsenal for peace.” The start of Chapter IV argues that mathematics in general education should shed recondite detail for a small set of powerful ideas—number, quantity, and space—illustrated through experiments, graphs, simple calculus, statistics, and the history of ideas (for example, Euclid’s Book V).

China collecting in America

Alice Morse Earle

"China collecting in America" by Alice Morse Earle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It explores the passion, practice, and history of seeking old china and related tableware in the United States, especially New England, blending personal memoir with antiquarian research. The work likely appeals to collectors and readers of material culture, moving from anecdotes of “china hunting” into guidance, ethics, and the evolution of tableware from wood and pewter to Delft, English wares, and Oriental porcelain. The opening of the book recounts the author’s “midsummer madness” for hunting old china across New England, detailing the thrills, frequent disappointments, and crafty etiquette of buying from wary farm households. Vivid anecdotes include failed negotiations (a Nankin bowl used for mixing chicken-dough), misidentified “Martha Washington” plates, evasive hoarders, and the colorful stratagems of dealers—alongside a playful fantasy of collecting from a tin-peddler’s cart. The narrative weighs the ethics of the chase, from gentle persuasion to dubious ruses and even brushes with stolen goods, and sketches the social settings of auctions, schoolhouse intelligence-gathering, and unglamorous roadside meals. The next section turns to history, surveying wooden trenchers and pewter—porringers, platters, candlesticks, and communion services—their manufacture, household pride, and preservation, illustrated by a Shrewsbury homestead laden with shining pewter. The account then begins tracing early American porcelain use and importation: English misconceptions about china, Delft and stoneware appearances in colonial inventories, the silver-mounted Winthrop jug, Boston’s early 18th‑century advertisements for “chayney,” and regional contrasts showing New England’s lead. It closes this opening stretch with the culture of repairing cherished pieces and a glimpse of Franklin sending select English and Oriental wares home to Philadelphia.

Last letters from the living dead man

David Patterson (Spirit) Hatch

"Last letters from the living dead man" by David Patterson Hatch is a collection of spiritualist letters and metaphysical essays written in the early 20th century. Framed as messages dictated through Elsa Barker’s automatic writing, it offers posthumous guidance on America’s moral destiny during and after the Great War, blending occult insight with practical civic counsel. The focus is on courage, unity, ethical reform, and the shaping influence of unseen worlds on national life. The opening of this work begins with Barker’s candid introduction: she recounts how the letters were “written down” during 1917–1918, her earlier volumes, her reluctance to continue automatic writing, and her turn to analytical psychology (especially Jung) while affirming a deep, experiential belief in immortality and the practical value of prayer and mysticism. The first letters from “X” invoke the “Genius of America,” urging fearlessness, service, and national unity amid wartime upheaval, and foretelling great change akin to winter giving way to spring. He warns that America suffers from an “indigestion of gold,” presses for rebuilding Europe, shipbuilding, fair lending, government stewardship of key utilities and food, and steady work to prevent panic and hysteria, while cautioning about a coming surge in psychic sensitivity and the need for restraint. Further letters advise honest dealing at home, level heads in turbulent politics, simple methods to calm fear, and describe “invisible armies” aiding from beyond; they also stress America’s role in spiritual culture, discuss reincarnated Native souls within the population, and narrate a forest encounter with an indigenous chieftain that reframes vengeance into future brotherhood—before returning to the central theme that a nation’s ideals, like individuals’, determine its fate.

Aspects of science

J. W. N. (John William Navin) Sullivan

"Aspects of science" by J. W. N. Sullivan is a collection of essays on science written in the early 20th century. Framed from a humanistic and aesthetic point of view, it explores how scientific ideas emerge, evolve, and influence culture while clarifying methods, theories, and assumptions for the general reader. Expect reflective critiques of how science is pursued, taught, and popularized, alongside portraits of scientific minds and the philosophical implications of modern physics. The opening of this collection sets out the premise that scientific ideas have histories and serve human needs, arguing that theories confer order, practical power, and aesthetic satisfaction even while remaining provisional. It explains scientific method as a selective, law-building enterprise whose “truth” rests on shared judgment but whose “meaning” is personal and artistic, citing the physicist’s perspective (via Norman Campbell) and the growing gap between specialists and the public as language grows technical. Through cultural reflections and a striking portrait of Maxwell, the essays show science as intuitive and imaginative—sometimes mystical—yet disciplined. A sequence on assumptions dismantles inherited certainties (circular planetary orbits, naïve probability, Euclidean space and time, the elastic æther, and anthropomorphic readings of animals), showing how reasonableness shifts with evidence. Pieces on learning and popularizing science urge historical teaching and reading original memoirs, and critique both suave synthesizers of science with philosophy and religion and marvel-mongering “popular” accounts. Overall, the start maps science’s aims, methods, and misreadings while inviting non-specialists into its human context. (This is an automatically generated summary.)

Aeolus; or, the future of the flying machine

Major Stewart, Oliver

"Aeolus; or, the future of the flying machine" by Major Oliver Stewart is an aeronautical essay written in the early 20th century. It forecasts how aircraft will evolve and be used, arguing that society’s attitude and policy toward aviation will shape progress more than pure technology. Stewart champions moving‑wing craft (notably the autogiro) for short urban hops and poor visibility, foresees giant flying boats as true long‑range air liners, and criticizes official and financial constraints while doubting the long‑term viability of rigid airships. The opening of this work casts the aeroplane as an “aerial sailing‑ship,” clarifies basic terms (wing, airscrew, propeller), and sets a pragmatic forecasting stance. Stewart then argues that Britain’s aviation stagnation springs from overregulation and financier‑led standardization, prescribing “freedom of the air” and craftsmanship to unlock progress. He contrasts a noisy, awkward passenger plane with the effortless gull to introduce the key idea of moving‑wing flight, presenting the autogiro as the first practical realization and predicting spot landings, rooftop terminals, and fog‑defying city‑center services. He anticipates a counter from fixed‑wing operators—very fast, highly loaded machines aided by catapults, arresters, and high‑speed ground links—and begins to sketch the longer‑range future in which immense hydro‑aeroplanes become the true air liners.
