THE
PRINCESS OF CLEVES.
CHARACTER
OF THE
PRINCESS OF CLEVES,
BY THE EDITOR.
THE story of the Princess of Cleves, which we now present to our readers, has been long universally allowed to stand foremost in that peculiar species of writing, where historical facts are intermixed with the anecdotes and adventures of private personages. The scene is laid in the court of France, at an era when galantry had risen to its greatest height in that polite nation; though the romantic notions of ancient chivalry had begun to grow obsolete, but were not yet intirely exploded; for we here meet with a tournament, appointed in honour of the princess Elizabeth's marriage with ​the king of Spain; which, however, was the last that ever was exhibited in France.
From this particular circumstance, the reader may form an idea, that the manners and sentiments of those times differred widely from those of the present; and of course, the delicacy with which, the princess of Cleves and the duke of Nemours conducted themselves, though under the influence of an unjustifiable passion, ought not to be deemed unnatural, though, perhaps, in these more licentious days it may be supposed improbable.
There are some situations in the following Novel, more refined and elegant than any we ever remember to have met with before; particularly, that of our heroine's flying for sanctuary, as it were, from herself, into the bosom of her husband, by revealing to him her passion for another. What a confidant for a modern dame! The line which the princess of Cleves pursues through the whole story, is doubtless worthy of emulation to those who may be so unhappy as to stand in the same predicament; but her conduct, after the death of her husband, will, we fear, rather be considered as a subject for admiration, than imitation.

# The Pearl/Volume 4/NURSERY RHYMES.

A parson who lived near Cremorne Looked down on all women with scorn; E'en a boy's white fat bum; Could not make him come; But an old man's piles gave him the horn.
A cheerful old party of Lucknow, Remarked, "I should like a fuck now!" So he had one and spent, And said, "I'm content! By no means am I so cunt-struck now."
There was a young man of Peru, Who lived upon clap juice and spew; When these palled to his taste, He tried some turd paste, And said that was very good too.
There is a new Baron of Wokingham; The girls say he don't care for poking 'em. Preferring "Minette," What is pleasant, but ye, There is one disadvantage, his choking 'em.
There was an Archbishop of Rheims, Who played with himself in his dreams; On his nightshirt in front, He painted a cunt, Which made his spend gush forth in streams.
There was a young man of Newminster Court. Bugger'd a pig, but his prick was too snort; Said the hog, "It's not nice; But pray take my advice; Make tracks, or by the police you'll be caught."
There was a young man of Cashmere. Who purchased a fine Bayadere! He fucked all her toes. Her mouth, eyes, and her nose, And eventually poxed her left ear.
There was a young party of Bicester, Who wanted to bugger his sister; But not liking dirt. He bought him a squirt, And cleaned out her arse with a clyster.
There was a young man of King's Cross, Who amused himself frigging a horse. Then licking the spend Which still dripped from the end, Said, "It tastes just like anchovy sauce."
A president called Gambetta. Once used an imperfect French Letter; This was not the worst, With disease he got cursed. And he took a long time to get better.
There was a young girl from Vistula, To whom a friend said, "Jef has kissed you, la!" Said she, "Yes, by God! But my arse he can't sod, Because I am troubled with Fistula."
A new patent shoe-horn, for the insertions of big pricks into tight bum-holes, is reported to have been invented by a lady member of the Comedie Francaise, who issaid to place the half skin of a peach, turned inside out, upon the tip of a lover's penis, before he is allowed to enculer his chere amie, who prefers bum-fucking to the old orthodox plan of coition.
"I see you have your everlasting stocking on," said her fond papa, at Southend to a Whitechapel young lady of twelve, who was wading bare-legged on the beach.
"I don't know about that, father, for my arse is covered with the same stuff, and that's got a hole in it."
# The Pearl/Volume 4/SONG.

How lovely did Venus at first seem to be, When her birth she received from the spring of the sea; As red as a rose looked her cunt's lovely rim, And the foam slowly dripped from the hairs of her quim!
Her belly was whiter than marble, I ween, And above it her bubbies like snow balls were seen; But Venus was still discontented, alas, She wanted a prick and two balls at her arse!
Her thighs were so pure, so graceful and round, None fairer and lovelier e'er could be found; But her cunt, I dare say, great pleasure it sips, With a stiff-standing penis to part its red lips!
Oh, poking is a pleasure, we all must enjoy. Tho' I had it for ever, it never would cloy; To any young man on the grass I would fall. And if cunt would allow it, take bollox and all!
# The Pearl/Volume 5/Epitaph.

Here lies the amorous Fanny Hicks, The scabbard of ten thousand pricks, And if you wish to do her honour, Pull out your cock, and piss upon her.
# The Pearl/Volume 4/THE JOYS OF COMING TOGETHER.

Tell me where are there such blisses As the sexes can impart? When lips join in heavenly kisses, When they both convulsive start!   Throbbing, heaving, Never grieving; Thrusting, bursting, Sighing, dying!
All nature now is in aglow, Now they're coming, oh! oh!! oh!!! Mutual keeping to one tether. Sweet it is to come together!   Decrepit age is only teasing. Shrivelled-up pricks, who can abide? Vigorous youth, oh, that is pleasing, It is worth the world beside!
Craving, wanting, Sobbing, panting, Throbbing, heaving, Never grieving, Thrusting, bursting, Sighing, dying!   All nature now is in a glow, Now they're coming, oh! oh!! oh!!! Mutual keeping to one tether, Sweet it is to come together.
# The Pearl/Volume 4/THE REVERIE.

What dull and senseless lumps we'd be, If never of felicity We tasted; and what bliss is there To equal that of fucking rare?
An age of grief, an age of pain, I would endure and ne'er complain; To purchase but an hour's charms, While wriggling in a maiden's arms!
And hugging her to heavenly rest, My hand reposing on her breast! Her arse my own, her thighs my screen. My penis standing in between!
My bollox hanging down below. And banging 'gainst her arse of snow; Or else grasped firmly in her hand, To make my yard more stiffly stand.
How soon the blood glows in the veins, And nature all its power now strains; The belly heaves, the penis burns. The maiden all its heat returns, Till passion holds triumphant sway. And both the lovers die away.

# The Presidents of the United States, 1789-1914/Preface

PREFACE
Many of the brief biographies of the twenty-seven presidents of the United States contained in these four volumes were written by distinguished scholars and statesmen who were peculiarly fitted by their training or contact with our chief magistrates to render ample justice to their subjects, and also to treat them with what Edmund Burke describes as “the cold neutrality of an impartial judge.” A number of the sketches, particularly of the presidents in our own time, were especially prepared for this work; others were originally written for “Appleton's Cyclopædia of American Biography.” In some instances they have been revised and enlarged for the present volumes. These seven-and-twenty articles contain a complete record of the most important events in the nation's history from the inauguration of our first president to the close of 1913, a period of more than one hundred and twenty-four years, and including thirty-two administrations. The well-known writers of these model biographies of our chief magistrates are not responsible for the brief notices of the ladies of the White House, for the ​sketches of other persons connected with the families of the presidents, for the bibliographies accompanying their monographs, or for the selection of the many illustrations, which it is believed will enhance the interest and value of the work. These have been added by the editor. The portraits have been reproduced from the best originals obtainable, and the interesting series of facsimiles, with a few exceptions, were taken from the editor's complete collection of letters written by the presidents, concerning some of whom—such as Washington, the elder Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Grant—it may safely be said, “upon the adamant of their fame the stream of time beats without injury.” For those of John Adams, James Monroe, Andrew Johnson, and William McKinley the publishers are indebted to the courtesy of other collectors, as those four examples among the editor's manuscript letters of our chief magistrates were not well adapted for use in this work.

​ⅭⅬⅩⅩⅩ. Benjamin Lincoln to George Washington.
Boston, Jany 20, 1788
Having been detained from convention for a number of day I requested one of my friends to give me a general state of matters which statement I do myself the pleasure to inclose…
[Enclosure]
…when a question, for the first time, was proposed to Mr Gerry viz Why Georgia was entitled to three reps, under this Constitution, and Massts but to eight, when in former requisitions on Massts, she had been requir’d to pay thirteen times the amount Georgia was assess’d—a motion was made by Mr Dana, at the request of Mr G— as he declared in Convention, & Mr Gerry acceded to, that the question should be reduced to writing, & the answer in writing be laid on the table—this was complied with on saturday morning—a debate then ensued on the first paragraph in the 3d section—and an objection was raised against the equality of the representation of the states in the senate—Mr Strong stated that this was a matter of long debate in the fed-convention—& that a committee consisting of a member from each state in the Convention was appointed to consider the subject—that, in regard to an equality of representation of states in the senate the committee agreed & so reported to Convention—

​ⅭⅬⅩⅩⅥ. Caleb Strong in the Massachusetts Convention.
January 18, 1788.
Mr. Strong. This mode of census is not new. Our General Court have considered it, and the General Court have agreed. The southern States have their inconveniences; none but negroes can work there; the buildings are worth nothing. When the delegates were apportioned, forty-thousand was the number. Massachusetts had eight, and a fraction; New Hampshire two, and a large fraction. New Hampshire was allowed three; Georgia three, &c. Representation is large enough, because no private local interests are concerned. Very soon, as the country increases, it will be larger. He considered the increasing expense.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CLXXXII

​ⅭⅬⅩⅩⅩⅡ. Rufus King in the Massachusetts Convention.
January 21, 1788.
Hon. Mr. King rose to pursue the inquiry, why the place and manner of holding elections were omitted in the section under debate. It was to be observed, he said, that in the Constitution of Massachusetts, and other States, the manner and place of elections were provided for; the manner was by ballot, and the places towns; for, said he, we happened to settle originally in townships. But it was different in the southern States. He would mention an instance. In Virginia there are but fifteen or twenty towns, and seventy or eighty counties; therefore no rule could be adopted to apply to the whole. If it was practicable, he said, it would be necessary to have a district the fixed place. But this is liable to exceptions; as a district that may now be fully settled, may in time be scarcely inhabited; and the back country, now scarcely inhabited, may be fully settled. Suppose this State thrown into eight districts, and a member apportioned to each: if the numbers increase, the representatives and districts will be increased. The matter, therefore, must be left subject to the regulation of the State legislature, or the general government. Suppose the State legislature, the circumstance will be the same. It is truly said, that our representatives are but a part of the Union, and that they may be subject to the control of the rest; but our representatives make a ninth part of the whole, and if any authority is vested in Congress it must be in our favor. But to the subject: in Connect cut they do not choose by numbers, but by corporations. Hartford, one of their largest towns, sends no more delegates than one of their smallest corporations, each town sending two, except latterly, when a town was divided. The same rule is about to be adopted in Rhode Island. The inequality of such representation, where every corporation would have an equal right to send an equal number of representatives, was apparent. In the southern States, the inequality is greater. By the Constitution of South Carolina, the city of Charleston has a right to send thirty representatives to the General Assembly, the whole number of which amounts to two hundred. The back parts of Carolina have increased greatly since the adoption of their Constitution, and have frequently attempted an alteration of this unequal mode ​of representation; but the members from Charleston, having the balance so much in their favor, will not consent to an alteration; and we see that the delegates from Carolina in Congress have always been chosen from the delegates of that city. The representatives, therefore, from that State, will not be chosen by the people, but will be the representatives of a faction of that State. If the general government cannot control in this case, how are the people secure?
