Ordering the World in the Eighteenth Century

By: Frank O'Gorman,Diana Donald

The Eighteenth century is often represented, applying Tom Paine's phrase, as 'The Age of Reason': an age when progressive ideals triumphed over autocracy and obscurantism, and when notions of order and balance shaped consciousness in every sphere of human knowledge. Yet the debates which surrounded the development of Eighteenth-century thought were always open to troubling doubts. Was nature itself truly an ordered entity, as Newton had argued, or was it a mass of chaotic, randomly moving atoms, as some materialist thinkers believed? This book explores the tensions and conflicts in these debates through a series of interdisciplinary essays from leading international scholars, each challenging the idea that the Eighteenth century was an age of order.

Frank Fairlegh

By: Frank E. Smedley

Don't you consider Fairlegh to be looking very thin and pale, Miss Saville?" inquires Coleman, when we join the ladies after dinner, speaking with such an air of such genuine solicitude, that any one not intimately acquainted with him must surely imagine him in earnest. Miss Saville, completely taken in, answers innocently, "Indeed, I have thought Mr. Fairlegh much altered since I had the pleasure of meeting him before." Then, glancing my way with a look of unfeigned interest, which sends the blood bounding through my veins, she continues, "You have not been ill, I hope?" I hasten to reply in the negative, and to enlighten her as to the real cause of my pale looks, when Coleman interrupts me by exclaiming, "Ah poor fellow, it is a melancholy affair. In those pale cheeks, that wasted though still graceful form, and the weak, languid, and unhappy, but deeply interesting "tout ensemble, " you perceive the sad results of -- am I at liberty to mention it? -- of an unfortunate "attachment."" I nearly knock him flat, for that Yet soon enough I am the one beholding the pale cheeks and surprised expression -- and on the face of that very Miss Clara Saville. But just "what" is in that mysterious letter that shocks her so? "Frank Fairlegh, Scenes from the Life of a Private Pupil, Vol. 2," continues the delightful look at education in mid-19th century England through the eyes of an unassuming and irreverent pupil, Frank Fairlegh -- studiously applying himself now to that greatest of educational conundrums, Woman.
