Summary
"Moore compiled her commonplace book during the American Revolution, carefully selecting works of poetry and prose that she and her friends most enjoyed reading and wanted to remember. Contained are 126 works of prose and poetry by at least sixteen different authors, mostly women....Moore's Book is the richest surviving body of evidence revealing the nature and substance of women's intellectual community in British America" [from the publisher]
Le beau-pledeur. A book of entries, containing declarations, informations and other select and approved pleadings: with special verdicts and demurrers, in most actions, real, personal, and mixt, which have been argued and adjudged in the courts at Westminster. Together with faithful references to the most authentick printed law-books now extant, where the cases of these entries are reported; and a more copious and useful table than hath been hitherto printed in any book of entries. The whole comprehending the very art and method of good pleading
A book of special entries of declarations, pleadings, issues, verdicts, judgments, and judicial process : in such actions as are now in use, and have not hitherto been published in any printed book of precedents : together with such notes and observations as do either illustrate or explain the same : as also such parts of pleadings and judicial process which do naturally fall under the division of each distinct title, as necessary and incident thereunto
"When historian Alfred "Alf" Clayton is invited by an academic journal to record his impressions of the Gerald R. Ford Administration (1974-77), he recalls not the political events of the time but rather a turbulent period of his own sexual past. Alf's highly idiosyncratic contribution to Retrospect consists not only of reams of unbuttoned personal history but also of pages from an unpublished project of the time, a chronicle of the presidency of James Buchanan (1857-61). The alternating texts mirror each other and tell a story in counterpoint, a frequently hilarious comedy of manners contrasting the erotic etiquette and social dictions of antebellum Washington with those of late-twentieth-century southern New Hampshire. Alf's style is Nabokovian. His obsessions are vintage Updike. " [from Amazon.com]
