    Extractions: Among the literary projects fermenting in his brain at the time of my father’s marriage, was one suggested by a friend, of a literary and artistic miscellany, in which a variety of short tales, sketches and poems, by popular authors, should be associated with carefully executed line engravings from good pictures. He had even ventured to anticipate that such a volume might issue, every year, in competition, as a gift-book, with the ‘Ladies’ Polite Remembrancer,’ and other pocket-books, published annually by the London booksellers in great variety, and which had a large sale for presents at Christmas and the New Year. He proposed this work to Hurst and Robinson, in the year 1823. The firm had, however, already in hand an

Part VIII hen one turns from Miss Mitford's works to the notices in the biographical dictionary (in which Miss Mitford and Mithridates occupy the same page), one finds how firmly her reputation is established. 'Dame auteur,' says my faithful mentor, the Biographic Generale, 'consideree comme le peintre le plus fidele de la vie rurale en Angleterre.' 'Author of a remarkable tragedy, "Julian," in which Macready played a principal part, followed by "Foscari," "Rienzi," and others,' says the English Biographical Dictionary. 'I am charmed with my new cottage,' she writes soon after her last installation; 'the neighbours are most kind.' Kingsley was one of the first to call upon her. 'He took me quite by surprise in his extraordinary fascination,' says the old lady. Another of Miss Mitford's great friends was John Ruskin,* and one can well imagine how much they must have had in common. Of Miss Mitford's writings Ruskin says, 'They have the playfulness and purity of the "Vicar of Wakefield" without the naughtiness of its occasional wit, or the dust of the world's great road on the other side of the hedge. . . . ' *It is Mr. Harness who says, writing of Ruskin and Miss Mitford, 'His kindness cheered her closing days. He sent her every book that would interest, every delicacy that would strengthen her.'

    Extractions: by Mary Russell Mitford Terms Contents Introduction by Anne Thackeray Ritchie Part II ... The Fall of the Leaf. Part III ost people's lives are divided into first, second and third volumes; and as we read Miss Mitford's history it forms no exception to the rule. The early enthusiastic volume is there, with its hopes and wild judgments, its quaint old-fashioned dress and phraseology; then comes the second volume, full of actual work and serious responsibility, with those childish parents to provide for, whose lives, though so protracted, never seem to reach beyond their nurseries. Miss Mitford's third volume is retrospective; her growing infirmities are courageously endured, there is the certainty of success well earned and well deserved; we realise her legitimate hold upon the outer world of readers and writers, besides the reputation which she won upon the stage by her tragedies. Miss Mitford, notwithstanding all her troubles (she has been known to say she had rather be a washerwoman than a literary lady), had opportunities such as few women can now obtain. One is lost in admiration at the solidity of one's grandparents' taste, when one attempts to read the tragedies they delighted in, and yet 'Rienzi' sold four thousand copies and was acted forty-five times; and at one time Miss Mitford had two tragedies rehearsed upon the boards together; one at Covent Garden and one at Drury Lane, with Charles Kemble and Macready disputing for her work. Has not one also read similar descriptions of the triumphs of Hannah More, or of Johanna Baillie; cheered by enthusiastic audiences, while men shed tears.*

    Extractions: Miss Fannie is ninety-nine years old. And very small. In fact, she's grown to be about the same size she was as a little girl. Miss Fannie has lots of hats. And each one is her favorite. But when she gives up her very favorite hat, the famous pink straw with roses, to help raise money in the church auction, Miss Fannieand the readerare in for a real treat. Jan Karon, author of the bestselling series The Mitford Years, left a successful advertising career to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an author. She moved to the small town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, which provided background for the setting of her fictional Mitford books. Miss Fannie's Hat, Jan's first children's book, is based on memories of her grandmother. Miss Fannie lived to be a hundred years old and provided the model for the story's wonderful title character.

Plumb Frederick the Great by Nancy Mitford Frederick the Great by Gerhard Ritter, translated and with an Introduction by Peter Paret California, 288 pp., $7.50 After the rip-roaring success of her book The Sun King , it was natural that Miss Mitford should have sorted through the European monarchs of the eighteenth century for its successor. There were some ripe characters available, for monarchy forces human character rather as a glass house does tropical fruit. Once a king or a queen, human beings, even the most ordinary, respond in an exaggerated fashion to their personas. It is almost impossible for a monarch, any monarch, to be dull, and certainly impossible if written about by Miss Mitford. With an eagle's eye (or should it be magpie's) she seizes on bits of gossip, self-revealing sentences in poems and letters, the dramatic moment, the clash of temperament, and writes them up with an irresistible combination of breathless haste and wit. She knows that with a narrative, as with a Western movie, you must keep it going. 1294 words The full text of this piece is only available to subscribers of the Review 's electronic edition .

The greatest of our scholars, the man who read Greek as the most expert of us read English not merely with an accurate sense of meaning and grammar but with a sensibility so subtle and widespread that he perceived relations and suggestions of language which enabled him to fetch up from oblivion lost lines and inspire new life into the little fragments that remained, the man who should have been steeped in beauty (if what they say of the Classics is true) as a honey-pot is ingrained with sweetness was, on the contrary, the most quarrelsome of mankind.

56. Flush: A Biography, By Virginia Woolf (chapter1)
    Miss Mitford, it is true, was much confined to the cottage. She had to read aloudto her Miss Mitford might well have asked ten or fifteen for Flush.  
    http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91f/chapter1.html
    
    Extractions: Very slowly, very dimly, with much sniffing and pawing, Flush by degrees distinguished the outlines of several articles of furniture. That huge object by the window was perhaps a wardrobe. Next to it stood, conceivably, a chest of drawers. In the middle of the room swam up to the surface what seemed to be a table with a ring round it; and then the vague amorphous shapes of armchair and table emerged. But everything was disguised. On top of the wardrobe stood three white busts; the chest of drawers was surmounted by a bookcase; the bookcase was pasted over with crimson merino; the washing-table had a coronal of shelves upon it; on top of the shelves that were on top of the washing-table stood two more busts. Nothing in the room was itself; everything was something else. Even the window-blind was not a simple muslin blind; it was a painted fabric with a design of castles and gateways and groves of trees, and there were several peasants taking a walk. Looking-glasses further distorted these already distorted objects so that there seemed to be ten busts of ten poets instead of five; four tables instead of two. And suddenly there was a more terrifying confusion still. Suddenly Flush saw staring back at him from a hole in the wall another dog with bright eyes flashing, and tongue lolling! He paused amazed. He advanced in awe. Table of Contents Next Last updated on Tue Jun 1 17:13:30 2004 for eBooks@Adelaide
