This is a Reprint Edition, published in 1996, of a book originally published in 1850. Trade Paperback. The Ways of the Hour was James Fenimore Cooper's last novel, published in 1850. Set in a rural New York county seat outside New York City, it is a courtroom drama of a woman accused of murder and theft, and of the men and women who defend her case. The surprise ending is perhaps as unexpected as any in crime fiction. Cooper used the novel, among other things, to express his discontent with changes in New York State's judicial system during the 1840s, with the corruption of courts and juries, and with new ideas of women's rights. The accused woman, Mary Monson, is a notable character in her own right. The Ways of the Hour should be considered a classic in the history of the mystery novel -- as it is perhaps the first novel to revolve almost entirely about a courtroom murder trial. First Edition Thus (1996), so stated. First published in 1850. …

ABOUT THIS BOOK: In a dusty corner of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Norway lie the remains of Julia Pastrana, half hidden in a black plastic sack, all but forgotten. Yet in the middle of the 19th century, this "ape woman" was renowned, visited by scientists of international repute, and drawing the populace of three continents to the freakshows in which she starred. Just 4ft 6in tall, she was covered in hair, with a protruding jaw; but she also spoke several languages, married, had a child, made money. This is the strange story of how a woman born in the backwoods of Mexico came to be one of the most infamous women in Europe and America and how, so many years after she first set foot upon the stage, Julia is still being shown to others. The exhibition goes on.(Publisher). …

A fine copy of the first printing. *** "Gardening is one of the most popular leisure activities today, and most people take it for granted not only that suitable plants and equipment are easily available, but that there is plenty of information to guide and inform gardeners. It was not always so. It was only in the 1860s that the foundations for modern amateur gardening as we know it today were laid down - before then middle-class garden owners had to learn the new skills needed by trial, error and hard work. This book recreates for us the world of the Victorian gardener - not the doyenne at the head of the large estates but the amateur and small time gardener in towns and villages. These amateur gardeners had to write the books themselves and create their own gardening magazines because professionals refused to believe that gardens in towns were a practical possibility. Through persistence, dogged determination and belief that gardening could be not only interesting and profitable, but enjoyable, amateur gardeners turned the horticultural world upside down. In this fascinating, richly illustrated new book Anne Wilkinson draws on the vast wealth of contemporary gardening magazines and other sources to give us an extraordinary insight into the Victorian gardener." - Publisher.
