  1. ~ * O, Alas, A Spectacle
    In The Mirror ~ !

    "French influence-as Mrs. Trimmer cried in alarmed accents-was rife
    in the nursery. As early as 1740, a Spectacle de la Nature had been
    translated successfully. Arnaud Berquin, "surnommé à juste titre
    l'Ami des Enfants," published the work from which his "just
    title" comes-l'Ami des Enfans-in 1782 (translated in 1783).

    It was successful alike in France, in French in England and in English.
    He wrote, also, Le Petit Grandisson, a sentimental tale which was
    translated into English, and himself (by a pleasant irony) turned Mrs.
    Trimmer's Familiar Introduction to the Knowledge of Nature into
    French.

    The very popular Looking Glass for the Mind was a compilation from his
    works.

    By him stands another Rousseauist, Mme. de Genlis; her treatise on
    education, Adèle et Théodore (1782), was translated (1783) and her
    Tales of the Castle (1784) were very popular in an English version
    (1785). Miss Edgeworth, Barbauld and Aikin, and others were given a
    French dress, and many of the quaker tales of Mary Elliott (afterwards
    Mrs. Belson) were produced in both tongues simultaneously. There was
    clearly, in spite of the revolution, much commerce of juvenile
    ideals."

  2. ~ * The Rewards
    Of Virtue, A Moral LIfe, A Little Lamb, A Little Grrl, Her Goose,
    & Her Tutor, Too* ~

    "Arnaud Berquin's L'Ami des enfans, translated into English (1787) as
    The Looking Glass for the Mind, contains stories indebted to the
    philosopher Rousseau.

    According to Thwaite, Berquin had an instinct for the dramatic and a
    sincere love of nature, and sometimes "paints a charming scene of
    virtue and truth amid rural simplicity."

    Such a story is "Flora and Her Lamb," where a girl revives an
    apparently dead lamb, and cares for it. But Baba becomes more than a
    devoted pet. In the space of a few years Flora raises a "capital
    flock."

    Thus the moral of the story is about the rewards Providence bestows on
    acts of virtue."

    Don't know any, T1. Thought that you might be more enlightened than
    myself. That's why I was asking. ...

    Perhaps someone should post the request-for-information in
    alt.usenet.kooks.
    They ought to be more familiar with the material which is available ?

    'Trailer Trash' seems to be a diverse and curious concept. I would like
    to avoid qualifiers because its so easy to summarize with negatives
    such as ridicle, poverty, ignorance, stupidity ... ... ... and on and
    on and on and on. It is much broader than that.

    Perhaps it is that huge diversity, itself, of summarizing the 'Trailer
    trash' culture that gives the concept its curious richness .. way too
    easy to caricature, sooo many ways of characterizing.

    Trailer Trash ~~~~> http://tinyurl.com/955pu ( ... actually 'white
    trash' )

    .... Superficially, its tacky, ugly, ignorant ___, ____ , ____

    Take a second look ... Dig deeper and its something altogether
    different
    Take a second look, assuming that the is something more to be seen :>
    ....
    ( A deliberate counter example to prove the point ... )

    Whatever 'trailer trash' means, it lends itself fantastically to
    elaboration through hyperbolae.

    .. I suspect that the cook-book has some amazingly good recepies. It
    hides and teases under the guise of lacking <such>

    Trailer Trash ~~~> White Trash ~~~> Troll Trash ~~~> Troller Trash

    I figure that 'Trailer Trash' should be a great focal medium for plying
    your trade, Twittering ( ... with or w/o added social commentry )

    So, huh? What do you know about 'Trolling Trash', eh ?
