PREFACE
TO THE SECOND EDITION.
Much to the author's surprise, and (if he may say so without additional offence) considerably to his amusement, he finds that his sketch of official life, introductory to The Scarlet Letter, has created an unprecedented excitement in the respectable community immediately around him. It could hardly have been more violent, indeed, had he burned down the Custom-House, and quenched its last smoking ember in the blood of a certain venerable personage, against whom he is supposed to cherish a peculiar malevolence. As the public disapprobation would weigh very heavily on him, were he conscious of deserving it, the author begs leave to say, that he has carefully read over the introductory pages, with a purpose to alter or expunge whatever might be found amiss, and to make the best reparation in his power for the atrocities of which he has been adjudged guilty. But it appears to him, that the only remarkable features of the sketch are its frank and genuine ​good-humor, and the general accuracy with which he has conveyed his sincere impressions of the characters therein described. As to enmity, or ill-feeling of any kind, personal or political, he utterly disclaims such motives. The sketch might, perhaps, have been wholly omitted, without loss to the public or detriment to the book; but, having undertaken to write it, he conceives that it could not have been done in a better or a kindlier spirit, nor, so far as his abilities availed, with a livelier effect of truth.
The author is constrained, therefore, to republish his introductory sketch without the change of a word.
Salem, March 30, 1850.

THE SCARLET LETTER.
I.
THE PRISON-DOOR.
A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments, and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.
The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old church-yard of King's Chapel. Certain it is, that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, ​which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than anything else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison. But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.
This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it,—or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door,—we shall not take upon us to determine. Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers, and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow.
# Signs and Wonders God Wrought in the Ministry for Forty Years/Preface

Preface to First Book
I was out in evangelistic work only a short time, when the Lord showed me plainly that He wanted me to write an account of my birth, childhood, conversion, wonderful call, baptism of the Holy Ghost and my experience up to this time. This led me to write my first book: "Life, Experience and Work."
Preface to Second Book
God so manifestly blessed this first book so that in a very short time they were all scattered far and near. Soon urgent calls came for a second edition of this work. The Lord showed me by this time that I should teach divine healing; lay hands on and pray for the sick, cast out devils that they would recover, be saved, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit. I obeyed and a harvest of souls have been won for Christ.
Preface to Third Book
The Lord wonderfully blessed these books for spirit, soul and body. The people were very hungry for more of God and for more light. The Lord then led me to publish the third, a large volume called "Trials and Triumphs." It was so called because life in the ministry was one of trials and triumphs. The people received great inspiration and courage by reading this volume.
Preface to Fourth Book
It was not long till "Trials and Triumphs" were all out among the people, and people came almost begging for me to get one more book. Of this fourth edition I published ten thousand. God also led me to publish a book of sermons. These two books went out almost side by side into the great harvest field. Wonderful testimonies came back how people got into touch with
Preface to Fifth Book
This book was compiled after I was out in the ministry for about twenty-five years, and contained a summary of God's dealings with His hand-maiden during this period. Besides all these volumes, God led me to get out at various times "Song Books" which He so strikingly used to bring down "Heaven's power" on the people.
Preface to Sixth Book
While at Dallas, Texas, nearly three years ago (1913), in the midst of a great revival, there was such a demand for some of my past volumes, which were all out among the people, and out of print, that I felt moved by the Holy Spirit to write the sixth volume, "Acts of the Holy Ghost," of which ten thousand were printed. The supply of this volume is now nearly exhausted, so I wrote the present volume, "Signs and Wonders."
Preface to New Book SIGNS and WONDERS
Our God "is moving on" and in displays of His power is showing that the end of this age, with its world-form of governments, is drawing nigh.
The rightful King will come soon, and our Lord Jesus will take His Kingdom. Preparing to meet God is the true "preparedness."
At the close of this "Gentile Age," "Signs and Wonders" are being wrought in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ "as at the beginning." Most of the narrative of God's wonderful work and leadings follow consecutively, some sermons being appended as before. No attempt has been made at literary style or embellishment.
Pray that God may graciously use the circulation of this book and, where practical, forward its tidings by introducing it to others.

An Appreciation
A WORD FROM A WELL-KNOWN MISSIONARY
Rev. Stanley Smith was for many years a worker with '"The China Inland Mission."' About thirty years since a band of seven young men (called "The Cambridge Seven") stirred England by giving up excellent worldly prospects and sailing for China on mission work.
One of these was Stanley Smith (a stroke oar of The Cambridge University Eight) and another C. T. Studd, the great cricketer. Rev. Stanley Smith writes:
   "I cannot let this opportunity go by without again bringing to the notice of my readers, 'Acts of the Holy Ghost,' or 'Life and Experiences of Mrs. M. B. Woodworth-Etter.' It is a book I value next to the Bible. In special seasons of waiting on God I have found it helpful to have the New Testament on one side of me and Mrs. Etter's book on the other, this latter is a present day record of the Acts' multiplied. Mrs. Etter is a woman who has had a ministry of healing since 1885, her call as an evangelist being some years previous to this. I venture to think that this ministry is unparalleled in the history of the Church, for which I give all the glory to the Lord Jesus Christ, as Mrs. Etter would, I know, wish me to do. This ministry should be made known, for the glory of the Triune God and the good of believers.
   "My old friend Mr. George B. Studd, a man whose word is his bond, writes me:—'I know Mrs. Etter and her work first hand. She was at our Los Angeles camp meeting last year, and there were many wonderful healings. She is sound in the faith and mightily used of God, and has been so for years. I know many other spiritual and reliable saints. who have known her and her work for years. Like the "sect" that Paul belonged to (Acts xxviii., 22), the Pentecostal movement is "spoken against"; and so is anyone who is used so mightily as Mrs. Etter is. Yes, she is indeed "a true handmaid of the Lord." Fear not, of course there is chaff as well as true wheat in the Pentecostal movement, and doubtless strange things and unwise happen-but God is in it.'
   "Mrs. Etter's spiritual ministry, under God, leading sinners to Christ, Christ, and believers into the Pentecostal baptism has been also most remarkable."
This testimony was also published in '"Confidence,"' Sunderland, England. Rev. A. A. Boddy, Vicar of All Saints Church, Editor.

# Salvation of a Forsyte/Chapter 8
### VIII

Next morning there was not a carriage to be had, and Swithin was compelled to put off his departure till the morrow. The day was grey and misty; he wandered about with the strained, inquiring look of a lost dog in his eyes.
Late in the afternoon he went back to his lodgings. In a corner of the sitting-room stood Rozsi. The thrill of triumph, the sense of appeasement, the emotion, that seized on him, crept through to his lips in a faint smile. Rozsi made no sound, her face was hidden by her hands. And this silence of hers weighed on Swithin. She was forcing him to break it. What was behind her hands? His own face was visible! Why didn't she speak? Why was she here? Alone? That was not right surely.
Suddenly Rozsi dropped her hands; her flushed face was quivering—it seemed as though a word, a sign, even, might bring a burst of tears.
He walked over to the window. 'I must give her time!' he thought; then seized by unreasoning terror at this silence, spun round, and caught her by the arms. Rozsi held back from him, swayed forward and buried her face on his breast....
Half an hour later Swithin was pacing up and down his room. The scent of rose leaves had not yet died away. A glove lay on the floor; he picked it up, and for a long time stood weighing it in his hand. All sorts of confused thoughts and feelings haunted him. It was the purest and least selfish moment of his life, this moment after she had yielded. But that pure gratitude at her fiery, simple abnegation did not last; it was followed by a petty sense of triumph, and by uneasiness. He was still weighing the little glove in his hand, when he had another visitor. It was Kasteliz.
"What can I do for you?" Swithin asked ironically.
The Hungarian seemed suffering from excitement. Why had Swithin left his charges the night before? What excuse had he to make? What sort of conduct did he call this?
Swithin, very like a bull-dog at that moment, answered: What business was it of his?
The business of a gentleman! What right had the Englishman to pursue a young girl?
"Pursue?" said Swithin; "you've been spying, then?"
"Spying—I—Kasteliz—Maurus Johann—an insult!"
"Insult!" sneered Swithin; "d'you mean to tell me you weren't in the street just now?"
Kasteliz answered with a hiss, "If you do not leave the city I will make you, with my sword—do you understand?"
"And if you do not leave my room I will throw you out of the window!"
For some minutes Kasteliz spoke in pure Hungarian while Swithin waited, with a forced smile and a fixed look in his eye. He did not understand Hungarian.
"If you are still in the city to-morrow evening," said Kasteliz at last in English, "I will spit you in the street."
Swithin turned to the window and watched his visitor's retiring back with a queer mixture of amusement, stubbornness, and anxiety. 'Well,' he thought, 'I suppose he'll run me through!' The thought was unpleasant; and it kept recurring, but it only served to harden his determination. His head was busy with plans for seeing Rozsi; his blood on fire with the kisses she had given him.
# Salve Regina

The Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen, literally Hail Queen) is an anonymous mediaeval Marian antiphon. It is traditionally ascribed to the 11th-century German monk Hermann of Reichenau and sung at Compline in the time from the Saturday before Trinity Sunday until the Friday before the first Sunday of Advent. It is also the final prayer of the Rosary.
This antiphon was adapted as a hymn by Johann Georg Seidenbusch, who published Gegrüßet seist du, Königin in 1687. The Latin translation Salve Regina coelitum appeared anonymously in 1728, and the melody appeared in 1736. Melchior Ludwig Herold published a version of the Latin text and music in 1808, which became the standard version used today. An anonymous English translation, Hail, Holy Queen Enthroned Above, appeared in 1884.
English-language translations of Salve Regina include:

# Sorrells v. United States

Sorrells v. United States, 287 U.S. 435 (1932), is a Supreme Court|United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court case in which the justices unanimously recognized the entrapment defense. However, while the majority opinion by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes located the key to entrapment in the defendant's predisposition or lack thereof to commit the crime, Owen Josephus Roberts' concurring opinion proposed instead that it be rooted in an analysis of the conduct of the law enforcement agents making the arrest. Although the Court has stuck with predisposition, the dispute has hung over entrapment jurisprudence ever since. Warning: template has been deprecated.

Argued: February 1, 1886. ---
The right of the plaintiff in error to pay his license tax as a lawyer, in coupons, receivable for taxes, as described in his petition, is affirmed by the opinion and judgment in the case of Royall v. State, ante, 510, (just decided.) His remedy to have them received for verification, and to recover back the money paid for his license, is secured to him by the terms of the act of January 4, 1882, which, for such purposes, was upheld by this court as a valid enactment in Antoni v. Greenhow, 107 U.S. 769; S.C.. 2 Sup. Ct. Rep. 91. On the authority of these decisions the judgments of the supreme court of appeals of Virginia and of the circuit court of Fauquier county, Virginia, are reversed, and the cause is remanded to said circuit court, with instructions to take further proceedings according to law, and in conformity with this opinion, and it is so ordered.

# Sandusky v. National Bank/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
90 U.S. 289
Sandusky v. National Bank
To authorize an appeal to this court from the judgment or decree of a Circuit Court reviewing the action of a District Court under its bankruptcy jurisdiction, the case must be one in which an appeal may be taken from the District to the Circuit Court; that is to say, it must be a case in equity arising under or authorized by the Bankrupt Act.
In our opinion this is not such a case. A proceeding in bankruptcy from the time of its commencement, by the filing of a petition to obtain the benefit of the act, until the final settlement of the estate of the bankrupt, is but one suit. The District Court, for all the purposes of its bankruptcy jurisdiction, is always open. It has no separate terms. Its proceedings in any pending suit are, therefore, at all times open for re-examination upon application therefor in an appropriate form. Any order made in the progress of the cause may be subsequently set aside and vacated upon proper showing made, provided rights have not become vested under it which will be disturbed by its vacation.
Applications for such re-examination may be made by motion or petition, according to the circumstances of the case. Such a motion or petition will not have the effect of a new suit, but of a proceeding in the old one.
In this case Sandusky had been adjudged a bankrupt in a suit to which he was a party. He desired to have that adjudication set aside, and accordingly filed his petition in the District Court for that purpose. This petition was filed in the original cause. It was in no sense whatever a bill in equity to impeach the adjudication for fraud. It had none of the forms of such a bill. On the contrary, it had all the forms of a petition for a rehearing in the original suit, and at the express request of Sandusky was filed as a petition in that suit. It thus became part of the proceedings in bankruptcy, from which it cannot be separated. No appeal could be taken from the whole proceeding, and consequently none can be taken from this as one of its parts. The only remedy provided for the correction of errors in such cases is to be found in the supervisory jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts under the provisions of the first clause of the second section of the Bankrupt Act. From the decisions of the Circuit Court in the exercise of that jurisdiction no appeal lies to this court. It has been many times so decided.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
