Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, 1840, Vol. 8: July-December By the side of the hearth sits a woman with a baby on her lap she nods to us without disturbing herself. Like the pioneer, this wo man is in the prime of life her appearance would seem superior to her condition; and her apparel even betrays a lingering taste for dress: but her delicate limbs appear shrunken, her features are drawn in, her eye is mild and melancholy: her whole physiognomy bears marks of a degree of religious resignation, a deep quiet of all passions, and some sort of natural and tranquil firmness, ready to meet all the ills of life, without fearing, and without braving them.
