I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial christianity of christ; i therefore hatethe corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial, and hypocritical christianity of this land. indeed, i can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land christianity. i look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels.

Accounts of outrages committed by mobs form the every-day news of the times. they have pervaded the country from new england to louisiana, they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former nor the burning suns of the latter; they are not the creature of climate, neither are they confined to the slaveholding or the non-slaveholding states. alike they spring up among the pleasure-hunting masters of southern slaves, and the order-loving citizens of the land of steady habits. whatever then their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.

Biography always has fulfiled this role. robinson crusoe is a biography, as is tom jones. you can go through the whole range of the novel, and you will find it is biography. the only difference between one example and the other is that sometimes it's a partial biography and sometimes it's a total biography. clarissa, for example, is a partial biography of clarissa and a partial biography of lovelace. in other words, it doesn't follow lovelace from when he is in the cradle, though it takes him to the grave.

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their ownideal, to express it more agreeably). thus man wants woman to be peaceable--but woman is essentially, like the cat, not peaceable, however well she may have trained herself to assume the appearance of peace.
