Two-tone cloth, gilt cover-titles and blindstamped device, 8vo, xv, 282, [1] pp. From the blurb - "In 1860, when the first of the [short] stories was published, Trollope was already an established novelist, and although he would continue publishing stories throughout his career, the bulk of them were written during the next ten years. Many of the stories are based on his experiences abroad and as the editor of Saint Paul's Magazine, They sometimes capture a world far from the haunts of more familiar Trollopian territory. Yet even characters far removed from the serenity and solidity of Barsetshire (where even serenity is not always in evidence) never fail to reflect Trollope's insatiable curiosity about all things human. And we remain the beneficiaries of his steady, shrewd, slightly bemused vision of himself and others trapped among the 'small calamities of life.'". Contents comprise: Introduction; The O'Conors of Castle Conor, County Mayo; The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne; Malachi's Cove; The Telegraph Girl; Alice Dugdale; The Courtship of Susan Bell; Miss Ophelia Gledd; The Lady of Launay.

She married a young traveling preacher from Tennessee, the Rev. Finis Foster. Unlike many women at this time, Louisa was educated and well read. During this period, discussions and critical views of religion were the domains of the men. Louisa, however, voiced her views freely and believed that women should be allowed to do so. Having turned to religion for consolation following multiple deaths in her family, Louisa organized and led her own weekly prayer group and was one of the few women to actively try to convert both men and women to her church.She kept a diary, and in these eleven journals from 1847 to 1870, Louisa recounts the difficult weather conditions, the Civil War, religion, conflicting views on slavery, the prices of goods, disease and medicine, and raising a family on the frontier in Central Texas. Louisas youngest son, John Collier Foster, also kept a diary, from 1882 to 1883, with vivid descriptions of his social life in town and his impressions of seeing the first electric light and the first telephone.

The Nurses of Ellis Island: Life and Work inside the Golden Door tells the story of the nurses who offered hope and healing to some of Americas most vulnerable patients. In the once-modern hospital complex on the southwest side of Ellis Island, a small group of nurses from the U.S. Public Health Service expertly cared for more than 150,000 patients of all ages and backgrounds, suffering from every imaginable illness and injury.
