In this posting we present as many of Mrs. Linton's full-length novels as we can find; specifically seventeen out of around twenty-four, with a further three coming we expect soon.

Just curious!

Well it should be obvious to an intelligent person that women in general differ from men not only physically but also mentally. They have as it were these great bulbs mounted in front of their minds which men do not possess. In general, again, women make better novelists, while men make better philosophers.
Woman novelists who wrote since around 1908 have been very unjustly neglected.
Britain has many excellent libraries, but for strange snobbish reasons none of these is excellent at providing digital versions of their books. (The British Library has only a tiny selection, done - and abandoned - around 2008 by "Micro-soft".) Scans though are usually available, upon an exchange of large sums of "money".
The Transatlantics on the other hand have since 2006 begun to offer a good down-loadable pre-1920 selection, but it is a) quickly diminishing as some of them (such as googol) claim "copy-right" (whatever that is) on the actual scanning process, and b) very badly done in detail. Of the many books still available about eighty per centum suffer from grievous errors of various kinds, bad enough to make them unusable, even.
It is thus a worthwhile and pleasant process carefully to attempt (using whatever means remain available) to put together a high-class collection of the work of high-class ladies, so as to avoid its further loss or deterioration.

They have as it were these great bulbs mounted in front of their minds which men do not possess. In general, again, women make better novelists, while men make better philosophers. I've no idea what you mean by "these great bulbs". I would also be more wary than you appear to be either to generalise about women making better novelists and men better philisophers or to overplay the notion that women differ mentally from men; whilst there may indeed be instances of such differences, our understanding of neuroscience anent such matters remains in its infancy and should therefore discourage people from jumping to conclusions that cannot as yet be corroborated by incontrovertible evidence. One has only to think of women composers, for example, whose music cannot by and of be distinguished from men's work and which one wold not know had been written by women without first being told this. Britain has many excellent libraries, but for strange snobbish reasons none of these is excellent at providing digital versions of their books. (The British Library has only a tiny selection, done - and abandoned - around 2008 by "Micro-soft".) Scans though are usually available, upon an exchange of large sums of "money". I think that you mean Microsoft without the hyphen. My does WBL charge fortunes for what it supplies! I realise that its budget must of necessity be immense, but I do recall when about to launch The Sorabji Archive in the 1980s looking at what it then charged for A3 duplex photocopies which the enquirer would have to make him/herself on the premises and which was way higher than what the archive charges for them today! some of them (such as googol) I presume you to mean "Google"; "googol" looks like a mis-spelt Russian writer... claim "copy-right" (whatever that is) on the actual scanning process You know as well as I do what copyright - which also has no hyphen - is although, like you, I fail to understand how it can reasonably and credibly be asserted on a mere scanning process; copyright subsists in the material being scanned (when such maerial is in copyright), whereas the mere technical process of reproducing and distributing it is not something in which such rights can be established, let alone claimed; one might as well seek to claim copyright on driving a car! very badly done in detail. Of the many books still available about eighty per centum suffer from grievous errors of various kinds, bad enough to make them unusable, even. But is that not becuase of errors in the original publications rather than as any consequence of subsequent reproduction processes? It is thus a worthwhile and pleasant process carefully to attempt (using whatever means remain available) to put together a high-class collection of the work of high-class ladies, so as to avoid its further loss or deterioration. That you for your answer - although I'm not sure about the "high-class ladies" bit! And for what it might or might not be worth, the author's appearance would appear to qualify these days as morbidly obese...

I have to-day found another three and added them, and removed one as being too short, so now there are three missing out of twenty-three. One of those - The One Too Many - is at the NLA and they may or may not agree to send it out to where I am. Then just Amymone and Stabbed in the Dark will be left.

Well everything is covered, that must be the main point must it not?

Well everything is covered, that must be the main point must it not? idence of The "main point" of what, exactly? especially since such "cover" as I assume to you mean could not and indeed does not impact upon said obesity (and the evidence of her birth and death dates does little to detract from this obvious fact).

You prefer our current ugly trollopificated age then we take it Mr. H? But it is an orchestra not a swimming pond!

You prefer our current ugly trollopificated age then we take it Mr. H? But it is an orchestra not a swimming pond! Why and where might you "take it"? - and what is it that you might so "take"? Did I suggest any such thing in my post wherein I made no reference whatsoever to personal preferences? I did not in any case mention particular ages (and certainly not an "ugly trollopificated" one, whatever that might be); I merely referred to the picture of the novelist that you had earlier posted being of someone who would fairly be regarded as morbidly obese. Moreover, there is in any case a good deal more unhealthy obesity around today than there was when that photograph was taken, so it is most certainly not a matter of era!

It was not possible to download The One Too Many from any British or trans-Atlantic library, but in the end it was discovered in Queens-Land, whence its three volumes were sent to my local library. What I could then do was photo-graph its pages. The result is quick and ugly, but all the text is I believe legible, which is the main thing is it not.
