102 E. 58TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
25th July, 1900.
DEAR TURIYANANDA,
I received a letter from Mrs. Hansborough telling me of your visit to her. They like you immensely, and I am sure you have found in them genuine, pure, and absolutely unselfish friends.
I am starting for Paris tomorrow. Things all turn that way. Kali is not here. He is rather worried at my going away, but it has got to be.
Address your next letter to me care of Mr. Leggett, 6 Place des Etats Unis, Paris, France.
Give my love to Mrs. Wyckoff, Hansborough, and to Helen. Revive the clubs a bit and ask Mrs. Hansborough to collect the dues as they fall and send them to India. Sarada writes they are having rather hot times. My kind regards for Miss Boocke. With all love,
Ever yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA.

To Miss Josephine MacLeod
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA,
20th April, 1900.
MY DEAR JOE,
Received your note today. I wrote you one yesterday but directed it to England thinking you will be there.
I have given your message to Mrs. Betts. I am so sorry this little quarrel came with A__. I got also his letter you sent. He is correct so far as he says, "Swami wrote me 'Mr. Leggett is not interested in Vedanta and will not help any more. You stand on your own feet.'" It was as you and Mrs. Leggett desired me to write him from Los Angeles about New York — in reply to his asking me what to do for funds.
Well, things will take their own shape, but it seems in Mrs. Bull's and your mind there is some idea that I ought to do something. But in the first place I do not know anything about the difficulties. None of you write me anything about what that is for, and I am no thought-reader. You simply wrote me a general idea that A__ wanted to keep things in his hands. What can I understand from it? What are the difficulties? Regarding what the differences are about, I am as much in the dark as about the exact date of the Day of Destruction! And yet Mrs. Bull's and your letters show quite an amount of vexation! These things get complicated sometimes, in spite of ourselves. Let them take their shape.
I have executed and sent the will to Mr. Leggett as desired by Mrs. Bull.
I am going on, sometimes well and at other times ill. I cannot say, on my conscience, that I have been the least benefited by Mrs. Milton. She has been good to me, I am very thankful. My love to her. Hope she will benefit others.
For writing to Mrs. Bull this fact, I got a four page sermon, as to how I ought to be grateful and thankful, etc., etc. All that is, sure, the outcome of this A__ business! Sturdy and Mrs. Johnson got disturbed by Margot, and they fell upon me. Now A__ disturbs Mrs. Bull and, of course, I have to bear the brunt of it. Such is life!
You and Mrs. Leggett wanted me to write him to be free and independent and that Mr. Leggett was not going to help them. I wrote it — now what can I do? If John or Jack does not obey you, am I to be hanged for it? What do I know about this Vedanta Society? Did I start it? Had I any hand in it? Then again, nobody condescends to write me anything about what the affair is! Well, this world is a great fun.
I am glad Mrs. Leggett is recovering fast. I pray every moment for her complete recovery. I start for Chicago on Monday. A kind lady has given me a pass up to New York to be used within three months. The Mother will take care of me. She is not going to strand me now after guarding me all my life.
Ever yours gratefully,
VIVEKANANDA.

CLXXXII
To Miss Mary Hale
VEDANTA SOCIETY,
146 E. 55TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
23rd June, 1900.
MY DEAR MARY,
Many, many thanks for your beautiful letter. I am very well and happy and same as ever. Waves must come before a rise. So with me. I am very glad you are going to pray. Why don't you get up a Methodist camp-meeting? That will have quicker effect, I am sure.
I am determined to get rid of all sentimentalism, and emotionalism, and hang me if you ever find me emotional. I am the Advaitist; our goal is knowledge — no feelings, no love, as all that belongs to matter and superstition and bondage. I am only existence and knowledge.
Greenacre will give you good rest. I am sure. I wish you all joy there. Don't for a moment worry on my account. "Mother" looks after me. She is bringing me fast out of the hell of emotionalism, and bringing me into the light of pure reason. With everlasting wishes for your happiness,
Ever your brother,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. Margot starts on the 26th. I may follow in a week or two. Nobody has any power over me, for I am the spirit. I have no ambition; it is all Mother's work; I have no part.

I could not digest your letter as the dyspepsia was rather bad last few days.
V.
Non-attachment has always been there. It has come in a minute. Very soon I stand where no sentiment, no feeling, can touch me.

CLXXXVIII
(Translated from Bengali)
To a Brahmacharin (Brahmachari Harendra Nath) of the Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati
NEW YORK,
August, 1900.
DEAR __,
I had a letter from you several days ago, but I could not reply earlier. Mr. Sevier speaks well of you in his letter. I am very pleased at this.
Write to me in minute detail who all are there, and what each one is doing. Why don't you write letters to your mother? What is this? Devotion to the mother is the root of all welfare. How is your brother getting on with his studies at Calcutta? The Sannyasin-names of those there escape my memory — how to address each? Give my love to all conjointly. I got the news that Khagen has now fully recovered. This is happy news. Write to me whether the Seviers are attending to your comforts and other details. I am glad to know that Dinu's health is all right. The boy Kali has a tendency to become fat; but this will all surely go away by constantly climbing up and down the hills there. Tell Swarup that I am very much pleased with his conducting of the paper. He is doing splendid work. Give to all others also my love and blessings. Tell everybody that my health is now all right. From here I shall go to England and from there to India very shortly.
With all blessings,
VIVEKANANDA.

CLXXVII
To Miss Mary Hale
23rd April, 1900.
MY DEAR MARY,
I ought to have started today but circumstances so happened that I cannot forgo the temptation to be in a camp under the huge red-wood trees of California before I leave. Therefore I postpone it for three or four days. Again after the incessant work I require a breath of God's free air before I start on this bone-breaking journey of four days.
Margot insists in her letter that I must keep my promise to come to see Aunt Mary in fifteen days. It will be kept — only in twenty days instead of fifteen. By that I avoid the nasty snowstorm Chicago had lately and get a little strength too.
Margot is a great partisan of Aunt Mary it seems, and other people besides me have nieces and cousins and aunts.
I start tomorrow to the woods. Woof! get my lungs full of ozone before getting into Chicago. In the meanwhile keep my mail for me when it comes to Chicago and don't send it off here like a good girl as you are.
I have finished work. Only a few days' rest, my friends insist — three or four — before facing the railway.
I have got a free pass for three months from here to New York; no expense except the sleeping car; so, you see, free, free!
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.

To Miss Mary Hale
102 E. 58TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
11th July, 1900.
MY DEAR DEVOTED SISTER,
I was glad to get your note as also to learn that you were going to Greenacre. Hope you will have much profit. I have been much censured by everyone for cutting off my long hair. I am sorry. You forced me to do it.
I had been to Detroit and came back yesterday. Trying as soon as possible to go to France, thence to India. Very little news here; the work is closed. I am taking regularly my meals and sleeping — that is all.
Ever faithful and loving brother,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. Write to the girls to send my mails, if any, at Chicago.

102 E. 58TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
18th July, 1900.
MY DEAR TURIYANANDA,
Your letter reached me redirected. I stayed in Detroit for three days only. It is frightfully hot here in New York. There was no Indian mail for you last week. I have not heard from Sister Nivedita yet.
Things are going on the same way with us. Nothing particular. Miss Müller cannot come in August. I will not wait for her. I take the next train. Wait till it comes. With love to Miss Boocke,
Yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. Kali went away about a week ago to the mountains. He cannot come back till September. I am all alone, and washing; I like it. Have you seen my friends? Give them my love.

# The Emancipation of South America/Prologue

PROLOGUE.
The object of this book is to give a biography of General José de San Martin, combining therewith the history of the emancipation of South America. It is a necessary complement to the History of Belgrano, written thirty years ago. These two histories display the Argentine Revolution in its two principal aspects; one relates the development of a nation, the other the effect of this development upon the emancipation of a continent.
This history is based, for the most part, upon documents hitherto unpublished, some of which are truly posthumous revelations which throw new light upon mysterious or little known events, or correct errors resulting from defective information.
I believe I have consulted all the books, pamphlets, newspapers and fly-sheets which have ever been printed concerning San Martin, and of manuscripts I have a collection of at least 10,000 documents, bound in 73 thick volumes, which it is my purpose to deposit in the National Library.
The most important of these sources of information has been the archive of General San Martin himself, which was placed at my disposal by his son-in-law, the late Don Mariano Balcarce. I have also consulted the archives of ​this city from the year 1812 to the year 1824, without which it would have been impossible to compile a complete history. The archives of the Director Pueyrredón, which were given to me by his son, have also been of great service to me, as also those of General O'Higgins, Don Tomás Godoy Cruz, General Las Heras, and others. I have also acquired much verbal information from conversations held with many of the contemporaries of San Martin, and with some of his companions in arms.
In addition to consulting all available maps and plans relating to the campaigns of San Martin, I have inspected in person the routes followed by the army of the Andes and have made sketches myself of the scene of memorable events when plans were not forthcoming.
This book will not be the historical monument which posterity will some day consecrate to the immortal memory of San Martin, but those who do at some future date erect it, will herein find abundant materials, stones finished or but roughly cut, with which solidly to lay out the foundations.
Bartolomé Mitre.
       Buenos Ayres, 1887.
Here follows, on 25 pages, a list of unpublished manuscripts consulted in the compilation of this work, which manuscripts will be deposited in the National Library of Buenos Ayres.

# The Embargo

When private faith and public trust are sold, And traitors barter liberty for gold; When fell corruption, dark, and deep, like fate, Saps the foundation of a sinking state; Then warmer numbers glow through satire's page, And all her smiles are darken'd into rage; Then keener indignation fires her eye, Then flash her lightnings, and her thunders fly!
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

# The Emancipation of South America/Translator's Preface

TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.
The title of this translation is the second title of the original "History of San Martin." This transposition of title is an index to the relation which the translation bears to the original. This latter is truly a biography of San Martin, whose life could not be understood unless very full account were given of the events in which he took so prominent a part, therefore the biography is also a history.
No man who plays a prominent part in the history of a revolution can escape becoming involved in disputes with his contemporaries, and in many intricate questions which are of interest only to a very small number of their successors. These disputes and these questions greatly affect the career of a man, but have small influence upon the history of a Nation. Of such troubles San Martin had his full share, his biographer has entered fully into them, and with much detail has given proofs of the correctness of the view he takes of them. These details are, for the most part, suppressed in the translation, and all matters concerning San Martin himself are greatly curtailed, while prominence is given to the events of the times in which the ​scene passes. The translation is thus a history in which enter the biographies of the two principal personages, San Martin and Bolívar.
This translation is intended only for the general mass of English-speaking readers, to whom minute details are wearisome, and is thus in every part a condensation of the copious accounts which are given in the original of the stirring events described. The student of history will not find in it that ample information which he requires, in order fully to understand the subject in all its bearings; for him the original provides a mine of historic wealth, enriched as it is with notes and with a voluminous appendix.
William Pilling.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Emily C. Judson

EMILY C. JUDSON,
(FANNY FORRESTER.)
Emily C. Chubbuck was born in the pleasant town of Morrisville, in the central part of New York. This is the “Alderbrook” so familiar to her readers. Here she made a profession of religion, and connected herself with the Baptist church.
From Morrisville she went to Utica, to engage in teaching. While living at Utica, she made her first essays at authorship. These consisted of some small volumes of a religious character published by the Baptist Publication Society, and poetical contributions to the Knickerbocker. None of these, however, attracted any special attention. The first production of her pen that is at all noticeable was a light article which she wrote, without any very definite design, under the assumed name of “Fanny Forrester” to the “New Mirror,” while on a visit to the city of New York. This was in June, 1844. The editor had the sagacity, in this, as in several other instances, to perceive at once the evidences of genius that appeared in this playful bagatelle, and by a warm and judicious commendation, led the author to a continued, and, in the end, most successful, exploration of the vein thus accidentally brought to light. A series of essays, sketches, and poems followed, of a very brilliant character, which in 1846 were collected and published in two volumes under the title of “Alderbrook.”
In the beginning of 1846, the venerable missionary Judson returned to America, to visit the churches. On coming to Philadelphia, he was directed to Miss Chubbuck as a suitable person to prepare a memoir of his lately deceased wife, the second Mrs. Judson. Miss Chubbuck, then resident in Philadelphia, cheerfully undertook the grateful task. Being thus thrown much together, a mutual affection sprung up between them, and the favoured child of literature joyfully laid aside the laurels then fresh upon her brow, ​to go, as the wife of Dr. Judson, on a self-denying mission to the Burmans. They were married, at Hamilton, New York, June 2, 1846, and soon after sailed for Burmah. The “Memoir” was published in 1848. Dr. Judson died at Maulmain, in Burmah, in 1850.
Mrs. Judson is now on her way back to the United States.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Elizabeth Wetherell

ELIZABETH WETHERELL.
It is now less than a year since the “Wide, Wide World,” a novel in two volumes, was sent forth to try its fortunes. The title-page bore upon its face a name unknown to the public, except as the author of a single magazine article. No one could read the volumes just named without a desire to know something of the author. The inquiry among the reading public became general, “Who is Elizabeth Wetherell?”—but it has resulted so far in no disclosure beyond the fact that she is the author of the “Wide, Wide World,” and nothing more. In other words, the authorship of these volumes is a secret, and likely to be so kept for some time, as long, perhaps, as that of “Jane Eyre” and “Shirley.”
The “biography” of the lady, therefore, must needs be very brief. The only other events of her life that I know are, that she has recently contributed a very ingenious and original article to one of the leading annuals, and that she is about to—but, maybe, that would be telling.
The “Wide, Wide World,” with some minor faults, and among them, that of a title savouring of affectation, is one of the most original and beautiful works of fiction of which American literature can boast. It is the only professed novel in which real religion, at least as understood by evangelical Christians, is exhibited with truth. We know not how it could be possible for any one to read the story of “Little Ellen Montgomery” (which ought to have been the title of the book), without being made both wiser and better by the perusal; and we have yet to hear of the first person, young or old, that has commenced the story without finishing it. No living writer has such power to open the fountains of tears, or to warm the heart with thoughts and instances of goodness.
The author’s descriptions and narrations have the particularity and the life-like verisimilitude of De Foe, while her delineations of character are so minutely individual as to make one believe them taken from real life.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Elizabeth F. Ellet

ELIZABETH F. ELLET.
Elizabeth Fries Lummis was born at Sodus Point, New York, October, 1818. She was married at an early age to William F. Ellet, M. D., Professor of Chemistry in Columbia College, in the city of New York. Dr. Ellet having accepted, soon after, the appointment of Professor in South Carolina College, Mrs. Ellet resided several years in Charleston. She has since that lived in New York city.
Her father was Dr. William Nixon Lummis. He was of a highly respectable family, his father and brothers being physicians. He studied medicine in Philadelphia, attending the lectures of Dr. Benjamin Rush, whose friend he was, and whom in person he strongly resembled.
Her mother was Sarah Maxwell, daughter of John Maxwell, and niece of General William Maxwell, who served with distinction until near the close of the revolutionary war, when he threw up his commission on account of some dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Ellet commenced authorship as early as 1833, since which time she has contributed largely, both in prose and verse, to nearly all the leading periodicals, besides the publication of several volumes, which have met with good success.
A volume of poems appeared in 1835. In 1841 she published “Characters of Schiller,” containing an essay on the genius of Schiller, and a critical analysis of his characters. “Joanna of Sicily” soon followed. It was a work partly fictitious, partly historical, intended to exhibit the character and life of the queen whose name it bears. “Rambles about the Country” was a volume intended for children. It describes various scenes in the United States. “Evenings at Woodlawn” is a collection of European legends and traditions, translated and modified to suit American readers. It has had a large sale.
Mrs. Ellet is understood to have written for the North American ​Review, the American Quarterly, and the Southern Review, but I am unable to designate particularly her articles.
Her largest work is “The Women of the Revolution,” in three volumes. It has gone through seven or eight editions in two years. In this work she has collected with great zeal, and most abundant success, all the evidences of special patriotism and nobleness exhibited by her own sex during the period that “tried men’s souls.” The facts which she has thus rescued from their traditionary state, and placed on permanent record, make a truly valuable addition to our revolutionary story. They are her own noblest and most enduring monument.
Besides these very interesting volumes, Mrs. Ellet has published still another, called the “Domestic History of the Revolution,” of a character similar to the former in its general tone and point of view, but having a regular and connected narrative, suitable for a text book.
