The Life of Charlotta Du Pont, an English Lady Author: Penelope Aubin Title: The Life of Charlotta Du Pont, an English Lad Place of publication: London Publisher: Printed for A. Bettesworth Date of publication: 1723 Edition: 1st ed. Number of volumes: 1 This novel by Penelope Aubin appeared again in print in 1770, published anonymously under the title The Inhuman Stepmother; or the History of Miss Harriot Montague. With only a few minor changes made to the text, such as changes to the names of characters, this later version was apparently a case of plagiarism of Aubin's novel. For a full comparison of the two texts and discussion of eighteenth-century plagiarism, see Maggie Kulik's article 'What the Bookseller Did' , published in The Female Spectator in 2000. The full text of The Inhuman Stepmother; or the History of Miss Harriot Montague is also available on Novels-On-Line. THE LIFE OF Charlotta Du Pont, An English LADY; Taken from her own MEMOIRS.

And the History of several Gentlemen and Ladys whom she met withal in her Travels; some of whom had been Slaves in Barbary, and others cast on Shore by Shipwreck on the barbarous Coasts up the great River Oroonoko: with their Escape thence, and safe Return to France and Spain. A History that contains the greatest Variety of Events that ever was publish’d. By Mrs. AUBIN. LONDON: Printed for A. Bettesworth at the Red Lion in Pater- Noster-Row. M.DCC.XXIII. TO My much honoured Friend Mrs. ROWE. MADAM, I HAVE long waited an Opportunity to give some publick Testimony of the Esteem and Respect I have for you. The Friendship you and Mr. Rowe have shewn to me and my dead Friend, have laid me under the greatest Obligations to love and value you; but your particular Merit has doubly ingaged me to honour you. In you I have found all that is valuable in our Sex; and without Flattery, you are the best Wife, the best Friend, the most prudent, most humble, and most accomplish’d Woman I ever met withal. I am charm’d with your Conversation, and extremely proud of your Friendship. The World has often condemn’d me for being too curious, and, as they term it, partial in my Friendships; but I am of Horace’s Mind, and take no Pleasure in Variety of Acquaintance and Conversation: Two or three Persons of Worth and Integrity are enough to make Life pleasant. I confess I have little to recommend me to such, except the grateful Sense I have of the Honour they do me, and the Love I bear their Virtues; and I account it my good Fortune to have found such Friends, amongst whom I esteem you in the first Rank. I need say nothing of Mr. Rowe, but that he has such Excellencys as prevail’d with you, who are an admirable Judge, and endow’d with as much Sense and Virtue as any Woman living, to prefer him before all the rest of Mankind: and your Choice is sufficient to speak his Merit. May Heaven prolong your Lives, and continue your Felicity, that your Friends may long enjoy you, and the World be better’d by your Examples. You act as your ∗ learned Father taught, and are in all kinds an Honour to the antient noble Familys from whence you are descended. Forgive this Rapture, my Zeal transports me when you are the Subject of my Thoughts; and I had almost forgot to entreat the Favour of you to accept the little Present I here make of the Adventures of a Lady, whose Life was full of the most extraordinary Incidents. I hope it will agreeably entertain you at a leisure Hour, and I assure you I dedicate it to you with the utmost Respect and Affection, and am, Madam, Your most sincere Friend, and devoted humble Servant, Penelope Aubin. ∗ Dr. Barker,DeanofExeter. THE PREFACE. Gentlemen and Ladys, THE Court being removed to the other Side of the Water, and beyond Sea, to take the Pleasures this Town and our dull Island cannot afford; the greater part of our Nobility and Members of Parliament retired to Hannover or their Country-Seats, where they may supinely sit, and with Pleasure reflect on the great Things they have done for the publick Good, and the mighty Toils they have sustained from sultry Days and sleepless Nights, unravelling the horrid Plot: whilst these our great Patriots enjoy the repose of their own Consciences, and reap the fruits of their Labours, and enlarged Prisoners freed from Stone·Walls, and Jailors taste the Sweets of Liberty; I believed something new and diverting would be welcome to the Town, and that the Adventures of a young Lady, whose Life contains the most extraordinary Events that I ever heard or read of, might agreeably entertain you at a time when our News-Papers furnish nothing of moment. The Story of Madam Charlotta du Pont, I had from the Mouth of a Gentleman of Integrity, who related it as from his own Knowledge. I have join’d some other Historys to hers, to imbellish, and render it more entertaining and useful, to incourage Virtue, and excite us to heroick Actions, which is my principal Aim in all I write; and this I hope you will rather applaud than condemn me for. The kind reception you have already given the Trifles I have published, lay me under an Obligation to do something more to merit your Favour. Besides, as I am neither a Statesman, Courtier, or modern great Man or Lady, I cannot break my Word without blushing, having ever kept it as a thing that is sacred: and I remember I promis’d in my Preface to the Count de Vineville, to continue writing if you dealt favourably with me. My Booksellers say, my Novels sell tolerably well. I had design’d to employ my Pen on something more serious and learned; but they tell me, I shall meet with no Incouragement, and advise me to write rather more modishly, that is, less like a Christian, and in a Style careless and loose, as the Custom of the present Age is to live. But I leave that to the other female Authors my Contemporaries, whose Lives and Writings have, I fear, too great a resemblance. My Design in writing, is to employ my leisure Hours to some Advantage to my self and others; and I shall forbear publishing any work of greater Price and Value than these, till times mend, and Money again is plenty in England. Necessity may make Wits, but Authors will be at a loss for Patrons and Subscribers whilst the Nation is poor. I do not write for Bread, nor am I vain or fond of Applause; but I am very ambitious to gain the Esteem of those who honour Virtue, and shall ever be Their devoted humble Servant, Penelope Aubin. THE LIFE OF Charlotta Du Pont. CHAP. I. TOWARDS the end of King Charles the Second’s Reign, when a long continuance of Peace, and his merciful Government, had made our Nation the most rich and happy Country in the World; a French Gentleman, whose Name was Monsieur du Pont,beinga Protestant, left France, and came and settled near Bristol with his Wife. He had been Master of a Vessel; with which making many prosperous Voyage to the West-Indies,and other places, he had gain’d a competent Estate; and was now resolv’d to sit down in quiet, and pass the remainder of his Life at ease, in a Country where he might enjoy his Religion without molestation. Having dispos’d of all he had in France,andremittedthe MoneybyBillsintoEngland, to some Merchants his Correspondents here, he chose to settle near this Sea-Port, where he had some acquaintance with the most considerable Merchants, with whom he had traded; having been several times in England before, and perfectly skill’d in our Language. He put part of his Money into the publick Funds, and with the rest purchas’d a House and some Land, on which he liv’d with his Wife, and some Servants, as happily as any Man on Earth could do; and nothing was wanting but Children to make him completely blest. He had been marry’d eight Years, and had no Child; but he had not liv’d in this healthful Country above two Years, when his Lady with much Joy told him, she was with Child; at which News he return’d thanks to Heaven with transport, and she was at the expiration of her time happily deliver’d of a Daughter, whose Life is the subject of this History, being full of such strange Misfortunes, and wonderful Adventures, that it well deserves to be publish’d. They gave her the Name of her fond Mother, Charlotta; and the Child was so beautiful, that every body that saw her, admir’d her. ’Tis needless to tell you, that Monsieur du Pont and his Lady bred her up with all the Care and Tenderness imaginable: But it pleas’d God to deprive this little Creature of her dear Mother, before she was five Years old; for Madam du Pont fell sick of a Fever, and dy’d. And now Charlotta was left to her Father’s Care, who, deeply concern’d for his Lady’s Death, look’d on her as the dear Pledge which was left him, of their mutual Affection; and was so doatingly fond of her, that he resolv’d never to marry again, but to make it the business of his Life to educate and provide for her, in the most advantageous manner he was able.

  • Lady Howard De Walden and the First World War
    Lady Howard de Walden and the First World War Margherita van Raalte married the 8th Baron Howard de Walden in 1912 at St Marylebone Parish Church where Lord Howard de Walden was Crown Warden. At the time the name was over 300 years old, granted to Lord Howard by Elizabeth I in 1588, supposedly in gratitude for his bravery in battle against the Spanish Armada. Margherita possessed the aristocrat’s structure – her neck was long, and took its languid time to meet her body. Her fingers were slim and graceful: designed to dangle jewels or to barely hold a fan of feathers. And her eyebrows rushed downwards: the titled lady’s suffering, hooded glory.After holding the ancient name for only a few years, she too was fighting. She defied the Director General of Army Services who refused to give her permission to take on a Matron and eleven private nurses and establish a convalescent hospital in Egypt. It became the Convalescent Hospital No. 6, in Alexandria. A newspaper article from January 10, 1916 read: “A visit was paid to Lady Howard de Walden’s British Red Cross hospital which was formerly a palatial residence. Much marble has been used in its construction, and it stands amidst beautiful grounds. Among the patients were 36 New Zealanders. Lady de Walden’s husband, who is serving with the Forces in the Dardanelles, is one of the richest men in England, and both husband and wife have been generous and indefatigable to a degree. New Zealanders who come to this hospital are indeed fortunate.” This patient is wearing his ‘hospital blues’.

  • Introducing Civil Law Students to Common Law Legal Method Through Contract Law
    641 Introducing Civil Law Students to Common Law Legal Method Through Contract Law Charles R. Calleros I. Introduction The Common Law Program at Université René Descartes in Paris introduces students trained in the civil law to common law doctrine and legal method through a series of English-language mini-courses offered every other week by visiting faculty from common law countries throughout the world. Beginning in the 2001–02 academic year through Fall, 2007, I had the honor and pleasure of teaching the opening course in this program.1 My pedagogic goals in this course included: • Introduce the students to fundamental elements of common law legal method in order to better prepare them for all the common law courses; • Use the issue of reciprocal inducement, within the common law doctrine of consideration, as both a vehicle for developing facility with legal method and as an exercise in comparative law; and • Expose students to both traditional and innovative American teaching techniques, as a further means of providing students with a comparative experience. To meet these goals, I led the students in a number of interactive exercises, some of them set in non-legal contexts so that the students focused all their attention on the legal method those exercises illustrated. Whether set in legal or non-legal contexts, these exercises required students to recognize and accept uncertainty in legal disputes, appreciate the role of stare decisis, and develop opposing arguments from facts and precedent. Others who teach the common law method to students from other legal traditions, either abroad or in U.S.

LADY WISDOM AND DAME FOLLY AT QUMRAN SIDNIE WHITE CRAWFORD University of Nebraska-Lincoln* The female fi gures of Lady Wisdom and Dame Folly, found in the post- exilic Wisdom literature, have always attracted much debate and specula- tion. The questions of who they are and what they stand for, particularly in the case of Lady Wisdom, have been hotly debated. Is she merely a liter- ary creation, driven by the fact that the nouns for wisdom in Hebrew and and σοφία, are feminine in gender? Or is she an actual divine חכמה ,Greek fi gure, a female hypostasis of Yahweh, the god of Israel, indicating a fe- male divine presence in Israelite religion? These debates have yet to be re- solved. Now that the large corpus of sapiential texts from Qumran is begin- ning to be studied, new light may be shed on the fi gures of Lady Wisdom and Dame Folly.

  • The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman*
    Cristian, Réka M.. “The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, A Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 12 (2019) DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2019.359 The Life and Times of Karola Szilvássy, Transylvanian Aristocrat and Modern Woman* Réka M. Cristian Abstract: In this study Cristian surveys the life and work of Baroness Elemérné Bornemissza, née Karola Szilvássy (1876 – 1948), an internationalist Transylvanian aristocrat, primarily known as the famous literary patron of Erdélyi Helikon and lifelong muse of Count Miklós Bánffy de Losoncz, who immortalized her through the character of Adrienne Milóth in his Erdélyi trilógia [‘The Transylvanian Trilogy’]. Research on Karola Szilvássy is still scarce with little known about the life of this maverick woman, who did not comply with the norms of her society. She was an actress and film director during the silent film era, courageous nurse in the World War I, as well as unusual fashion trendsetter, gourmet cookbook writer, Africa traveler—in short, a source of inspiration for many women of her time, and after. Keywords: Karola Szilvássy, Miklós Bánffy, János Kemény, Zoltán Óváry, Transylvanian aristocracy, modern woman, suffrage, polyglot, cosmopolitan, Erdélyi Helikon Biography: Réka M. Cristian is Associate Professor, Chair of the American Studies Department, University of Szeged, and Co-chair of the university’s Inter-American Research Center. She is author of Cultural Vistas and Sites of Identity: Literature, Film and American Studies (2011), co-author (with Zoltán Dragon) of Encounters of the Filmic Kind: Guidebook to Film Theories (2008), and general editor of AMERICANA E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary, as well as its e-book division, AMERICANA eBooks.
