Ormond, or the Secret Witness, And, Clara Howard, or the Enthusiasm of Love (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Ormond, or the Secret Witness, And, Clara Howard, or the Enthusiasm of Love
The indulgence of his father had contributed to instil into him prejudices, in consequence of which a certain species of disgrace was annexed to every employment of which the only purpose was gain. His present situation not only precluded all those pursuits which exalt and harmonize the feelings, but was detested by him as some thing humiliating and ignominious. His wife was of a pliant temper, and her condition less influenced by this change than that of her husband. She was qualified to be his comforter; but, instead of dispelling his gloom by judicious arguments or a seasonable example of vivacity, she caught the infection that preyed upon his mind, and augmented his anxieties by partaking in them.

Philip Barnard and Stephen Shapiro have produced an awesome edition of Brown's Ormond by providing copious explanatory notes and helpful documentation of the essential historical context of feminist, radical, egalitarian, and abolitionist expression.
