UPSTATE ECHOES Is Arch Merrill's Ninth Book
UPSTATE EcnfJes by ARCH MERRILL UPSTATE ECHOES is Arch Merrill's ninth book. like the others that have won so many thousands of readers, it is a regional book. Only, as its title implies, it embraces a larger region. Besides many a tale of the Western New York countryside about which Storyteller Merrill has been writing for more than a decade, in his lively, distinctive style, this new book offers fascinating chapters about other Upstate regions, among them the North Country, the Niagara Frontier and the Southern Tier. Through its pages walk colorful figures of the Upstate past- the fair lady a North Coun try grandee won by the toss of a coin- the onetime King of Spain who held court in the backwoods- the fabulous Elbert Hubbard, "The Fro" of East Aurora- the missionary martyrs and a silver-tongued infidel, natives of the land of Finger Lakes, who made his tory in their time- the movie stars who once made Ithaca, far above Cayuga's waters, a little Hollywood- the daredevils who through the years in barrels and boats and on tight ropes have sought to conquer the "thunder water" of Niagara. The past comes to life again in stories of historic mansions, covered bridges, Indian council fires and the oldtime glory of Char lotte, Rochester's lake port that once was "The Coney Island of the West." You will meet such interesting people as the last surviving sextuplet in America and the "The Wonderful Man" who leaped from a parachute at the age of 81. • UPSTATE ECHOES Other Books by ARcH MERRILL A RIVER RAMBLE THE LAKES COUNTRY THE RIDGE THE TOWPATH ROCHESTER SKETCH BOOK STAGE COACH TOWNS TOMAHAWKS AND OLD LACE LAND OF THE SENECAS UPSTATE ECHOES BY ARCH MERRILL Being an Assemblage of Stories about Unusual People, Places and Events in the Upstate New York of Long Ago and of Only Yesterday Many af Them Appeared in Whole or in Part in the Rochester N.Y. -

Male Novel Reading of the 1790S, Gothic Literature, and Northanger
Male Novel t Reading of the 1790s, :L Gothic Literature, i and Northanger Abbey ALBERT C. SEARS Albert C. Sears is a doctoral candidate in English at Lehigh University. His dissertation investigates the Victorian sensation novel in the literary marketplace. Bookseller records from Timothy Stevens of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and Thomas Hookham and James Carpenter of London offer new insights into the fiction reading habits of men dur- ing the 1790s.1 Indeed, the Stevens records suggest that Henry Tilney’s emphatic statement in Northanger Abbey (written 1798) that men “‘read nearly as many [novels] as women’” (107) may not be entirely fictional.2 What is more, male patrons of Stevens’s bookshop and library seem to have particularly enjoyed the Gothic as did Tilney, who states: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. I have read all Mrs. Radcliffe’s works, and most of them with great pleasure. The Mysteries of Udolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again;—I remember finishing it in two days—my hair standing on end the whole time.” (106) However, while Austen’s depiction of male novel reading may be accurate for Gloucestershire, the Hookham records yield little evi- dence that the majority of men in fashionable London enjoyed novels as much as Tilney. 106 PERSUASIONS No. 21 The Stevens records, which extend from 1780 to 1806, do show that men borrowed and bought more fiction than women during the last decade of the eighteenth century. During the 1790s, the shop had approximately seventy male patrons (includ- ing book clubs) who borrowed and/or purchased fiction. -

Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great--Index
Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great Elbert Hubbard In 1894, Elbert Hubbard began his series, Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. Beginning in 1894, once a month, for 14 years, he wrote a new “little journey”. There are 180 “Little Journeys,” of those men and women who, “transformed the thought of their time, changed the course of the empire, and marked the destiny of civilization.” Hubbard’s work is considered a classic. Hubbard’s “little journeys”, sometimes compared to Plutarch’s Lives, are a bridge from Plutarch’s lives of Greeks and Romans to Edison’s time. Like Plutarch, Hubbard’s miniature biographies were composed for his own personal benefit and his information and inspiration came from original sources. These mini biographies were published in 1928 by Elbert Hubbard’s son, Bert Hubbard, using Elbert Hubbard’s own printing and bookmaking shop, Roycrofting, Incorporated. In May of 1915 Elbert Hubbard and his wife, Alice, left for Europe aboard the Lusitania. A German submarine sunk the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland; both Elbert and Alice died as a result. His son Bert took over the family businesses and shops, which were numerous at that time. Hubbard describes himself as an anarchist and a socialist, so some care should be taken with respect to some of these biographies.

I believe in the blessed Trinity of Father, Mother and Child. I believe that God is here, and that we are as near Him now as we ever shall be. I do not believe He started this world a-going and went away and left it. I believe in the sacredness of the human body, this transient dwelling place of a liv ing soul, and so I deem it the duty of every man and every woman to keep his or her body beautiful through right thinking and right living. I believe that the love of man for woman, for is and the love of woman man, holy ; and that this love in all of its promptings is as much an emanation of the Divine Spirit, as man s love for God, or the most daring hazards of human mind. -

A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics. -
