The Tale of Beatrix Potter. A Biography , and: Nothing Is Impossible: The Story of Beatrix Potter (review)

Reviewed by: The Tale of Beatrix Potter. A Biography, and: Nothing Is Impossible: The Story of Beatrix Potter Marilyn D. Button Lane, Margaret . The Tale of Beatrix Potter. A Biography. London: Frederick Warne & Co., 1946. Aldis , Dorothy . Nothing Is Impossible: The Story of Beatrix Potter. Illus Richard Cuffari. New York: Atheneum, 1969. A long and lonely childhood seems to have encouraged in Beatrix Potter, one of England's most popular writers of children's literature, the quiet humor, attention to detail, and literary discipline which is so characteristic of her work. In an unsophisticated but thorough biography, Margaret Lane traces the childhood experiences which developed those qualities in Miss Potter: the restricted exposure to other children her own age, the dull life in the home of unimaginative Victorian parents, Beatrix' own efforts to entertain herself through art and devotion to pets. It was, in fact, the very quality of her childhood which was responsible for stunting the social growth of the author and providing her with the leisure needed to develop her intimate knowledge of nature and animals. While Beatrix Potter's childhood lasted an unusually long time—at the age of twenty-seven she was still being told by her parents where and how to spend her vacations—it provided her accidentally with the circumstances she needed to launch into a productive adult life and to publish finally in 1901 her first edition of Peter Rabbit. One such circumstance was her continuing friendship with Annie Carter, one of Miss Potter's several tutors in French and German. This woman, while sensitive to the need of her charge for companionship, was more eager to establish a lasting relationship of her own. So after one year with Beatrix, she married, became Mrs. William Moore, and raised the family which at last provided Beatrix with the vitality and warmth that was so lacking in her own childhood home. Through the years, Beatrix corresponded with the Moore children and often wrote them letters which contained short animal stories and sketches. It was one such "get well" letter to Noel Moore that contained the story of Peter Rabbit. If these children provided Beatrix an excuse to write creatively and with purpose, it was her friendship with Canon Rawnsley that encouraged her to think about the possibility of extending the audience for her work. This extremely vital man, the vicar of Wray, became a friend of the Potter family when they vacationed in his parish. He was one of the few people who considered art as a professional possibility for Beatrix and was, in fact, the strength behind her decision to publish. In retrospect, one might consider Beatrix Potter's emergence from the world of a shy and retiring child to that of a famous author as one of the early success stories of the women's movement. For not only were Victorian women not expected to be or to produce anything of worth, but Victorian parents were actively opposed to professional achievements for their daughters. Had it not been for the encouragement of the Canon, Beatrix's enlightened brother, and a helpful publisher, Beatrix's talents, as well as her personality, might not have come to the public eye. Her strong sense of identity and ability as a member of the Crompton family (whose many literary and political achievements are discussed at some length by Miss Lane) was not enough alone to lift Miss Potter to professional standing. The Peter Rabbit books certainly thrilled the hearts of British and American youth and, following several difficult translations, those of Europeans as well. As important as the public success of her work were the opportunities it gave Miss Potter to develop new friendships and a strong but hitherto unchallenged business acumen. Her relationship with her first publisher was multifaceted; he encouraged, advised, and consoled her. He later proposed a marriage which, although it was never consummated because of his untimely death, nevertheless challenged Beatrix's incentive to continue working and publishing her stories. When in her forties Beatrix invested a large portion of her earnings in real estate, her advisor in this matter was a Mr. William Heelis, who suggested to this now somewhat eccentric lady...

Canada's First Professional Company

To write about theatrical entertainment in Canada before the Confederation is to enter a relatively unfilled field. In the absence of a fully documented account of stage presentations, historians like Jean Beraud and Murray D. Edwards have tended to underrate the frequency and quality of performances in assembly rooms and makeshift theaters in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and slighted the crucial role of strolling players in the growth of the theater in British North American provinces. One of the topics still to be investigated is the pioneering work of a trio of actor-managers—Edward Allen, John Bentley and William Moore—who arrived in Montreal from the United States early in 1786 and deserve recognition for founding Canada's first professional company, which gave evenings of entertainment along the lines of London companies. In his history of Montreal theater, Franklin Graham recorded a performance by Allen and Company in 1786, and E. Z. Massicotte uncovered a lease signed by Edward Allen in 1787, but neither explored further. Pierre Georges Roy who compiled data about theatrical performances in Quebec City from the Quebec Gazette and Quebec Mercury began his investigations in 1790 and missed the earlier events.

Notes on Some Moore and French Families in Virginia and Carolina in the Colonial Period

The following notes relating to some of the Moore and families of Tidewater and northern Virginia and of eastern Carolina in the Colonial period were made in a search for information concerning the ancestors of Jeremiah of Moorefield, Fairfax county, Virginia, who was born in or near Dumfries, in Prince William county, Virginia in 17461. By no means all the available records that might throw light on the early Moore and families in Virginia and the Carolinas have been studied, but considerable time was spent in collecting these notes, and they may be of value to future investigators. Among Jeremiah Moore's descendants are two traditions with respect to his ancestry. One story relates that he was the grandson of John who came to America from the northern part of Ireland about 1700, and located first in South Carolina; the other, that he was descended from a John Moore who in 1620 came to Virginia from England and settled in Elizabeth City county. Mention of his parents by name has not been found in the records of his time, but it has been understood in the family that the father of Jeremiah was named William and his mother, and it seems reasonably certain that his parents were living in Prince William county in 1746, the year of his birth, for, as stated above, Jeremiah was born there, and he himself lived there during his youth, he married a Prince William county girl and when he was first grown he was a layreader in the Episcopal Church on Quantico in Prince William. Mrs. Kate D. Berryman, of Washington, a descendant of Jeremiah, has examined many of the old court records and other records in Prince William (and adjoining counties) and has found occasional mention of a William a Jesse Moore (Jeremiah named his oldest son Jesse) and of Jeremiah Moore in lists of voters, witnesses and other records in Prince William, but whether this William Moore was the father of Jeremiah is not known. The writer was told in 1932 by one of Jeremiah's great-grandsons that he had heard that Jeremiah's father was at one time a post-rider or mail-carrier, but no record has been found to verify this statement. The name of Jeremiah's mother was not known to the writer until recently, when Mrs. Jessie Virginia Elgin Ritchey (Mrs. Charles A. Ritchey), of New York, and her sister, Mrs. Mary Elgin Mann, of Baltimore, stated in an affidavit given to the writer that they had been informed personally by their grandfather, George Washington Hunter Smith (1812-1896), who was a grandson of Jeremiah, that the mother of Jeremiah was named French, and that this was the reason Jeremiah's eldest daughter was named Angelina Moore, and the explanation for the name French occurring in the given names of two of his other daughters and one of his sons, and in the names of children of several of his children (Francis and Margaret) and for being handed

TEOC, where Negro field hands stay—where, too, they get all they earn and know they get it

Labor, they tell me, is scarce further over in the Yazoo Delta, remarked William Moore, the negro farmer-merchant whom I had found in his store on his place. here along Teoc Creek every planter has his cabins full. What makes this neighborhood different from others here in Mississippi? I inquired. That is a question I wouldn't undertake to answer, not knowing other communities as I know this, was the smiling response. I can tell you why labor likes to stay on Teoc, for that's easy. An honest man lived here years ago. By his own example of fair dealing with the 'hands' on his plantation he fixed the custom in this neighborhood of giving every man his just due. It's strange about him. He wasn't exactly a business success himself; and yet because of him other men have made money here ever since, for the laborer gets his due and knows it. So all along this creek there is never a lack of workers. Who was this man? John S. McCain. He lives out at Carrollton now with one of his children, but his principle of fair treatment is still the fixed rule of this community. His son has the father's plantation, and he is making good. He is just as fair as the old man in his dealings. But I would say he is more businesslike. He opened a store on his place a year or two ago, and now he's got all the business he wants. There was an old gentleman in the neighborhood who had a general store, and who was just as fair in his dealings; but, somehow, Mr. Joe McCain has had no trouble in getting trade. The talk went back to the father. He was, I recalled, the sheriff in my boyhood days-a man held in high respect by all the county. I heard people speak then of his integrity, but I was too young at that time to realize what a high adventure just being honest often proves to be. Now, it was a pleasant thing to hear this simple explanation of why
