But in the midst of these material preparations for the accommodation of the future scholars, the mental provision for them was well undertaken. At the meeting of 29 March it was voted "that a sum not exceeding one hundred pounds sterling be paid by the Treasurer to the said Committee [Messrs Franklin, Allen, Coleman, Peters, Hopkinson and Francis] to be disposed of in Latin and Greek Authors, Maps, Drafts and Instruments for the use of the Academy;" which the Journal tells us was forwarded in a bill of Robert and Amos Strettell's for one hundred pounds sterling, which cost the Trustees at the current exchange £173.10, to Mr. Peter Collinson in London for his purchase of the required articles. It was through Mr. Collinson's friendly agency in January following that they bought "a parcel of Latin and Greek books of John Whiston, Bookseller, £30.11; prints bought of Bowles 59/, and Instruments bought of Adams £4.14, and Mathematical instruments bought of John Moyan £33.12/6," which with shipping, insurance, and current rate of exchange cost them £138.3.10. On the margin of this last entry, Franklin has himself made a note describing some of ​the items in the bills, "Bowning's Phil° 15/, Philipps Lang$^u$ 5/, Map of the World 9/, Rectifer 3/6." Of Mr. Collinson, Franklin wrote to Jared Eliot, 12 September, 1751, in answer to inquiries about him:
the Collinson you mention is the same gentleman I correspond with. He is a most benevolent, worthy man, very curious in botany and other branches of natural history, and fond of improvements in agriculture, &c. He will be pleased with your acquaintance. In the late Philosophical Transactions, you may see frequently papers of his, or letters that were directed to him, on various subjects. He is a member of the Royal Society.
Franklin's correspondence with this gentleman in his Electrical experiments has been referred to on a previous page; his letter to Mr. Michael Collinson giving some biographical facts respecting himself is found in Sparks' Franklin, vii. 426, and contains the sentence: "The characters of good men are exemplary, and often stimulate the well disposed to an imitation, beneficial to mankind and honourable to themselves."
We are not told the places of meeting of the Trustees, except those of the 1st and 2nd February, which were held at Roberts's Coffee House. The subsequent meetings doubtless were held in one of the apartments of the New Building, other than those which were undergoing alteration and change.

A Good Woman
Author of "The Green Bay Tree," "Possession," and "Early Autumn"

Printed in the United States of America
To the late Stuart P. Sherman taken by death at the moment when the American writing to which he gave himself with so much devotion, needed him most sorely.
"A Good Woman" is the last of a series of four novels dealing from various angles with a strongly marked phase of American life. The book was planned, without being in any sense a sequel, as part of a picture which includes three other sections—"The Green Bay Tree," "Possession" and "Early Autumn." Taken together the four might be considered as a single novel with the all-encompassing title "Escape."

# A Good Fight

This novel was serialized in Once a Week in 1859. However, due to disagreements with the editors, Reade brought it to an abrupt end and then extensively revised it, publishing it two years later as The Cloister and the Hearth.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

[Verse]
    My heart's sad and I am all forlorn,
    My man's treating me mean,
    I regret the day that I was born,
    And that man of mine I've ever seen,
    My happiness it never lasts a day,
    My heart is almost breaking while I say:
[Chorus]
    A good man is hard to find,
    You always get the other kind,
    Just when you think that he is your pal
    You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal,
    Then you rave, you even crave
    To see hem laying in his grave;
    So if your man is nice
    Take my advice
    And hug him in the morning
    Kiss him every night,
    Give him plenty lovin', treat him right
    For a good man nowadays is hard to find.
[Verse]
    Yesterday my heart from care was free,
    I sang all through the day,
    Now the Blues have overtaken me,
    Since my lovin' man has gone away,
    I tried my best to treat him nice and kind,
    But now these words are running thro' my mind:
