Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ...the day of their deliverance was at hand from their long-endured bondage to the Crawford and Troup party. They were not disappointed. Forsyth and Wayne could not consent, though the proclamation, and the proceedings bottomed upon it, violated all the principles they had contended for while acting in the Troup party; most palpably contradicted the tenets upon which one was made senator and the other a representative in Congress; yet to give up the bright prospects of office, which an industrious and dutiful course of conduct to the kitchen cabinet had secured for them, and which, if not fully realized under Jackson, would certainly fall upon them in the next administration, under their friend and patron, Martin Van Buren, was what they could not look upon with the least composure. What to do they knew not for the moment. They saw by the signs, that the state-rights party would not sustain their course. They well knew if they would give up GeneraL Jackson, who had been warmly supported by them, and that from principle, they could not possibly stick to Van Buren, who had been his evil genius in effecting the change of his opinions, so obnoxious to their former doctrines. After consulting with their friends at Washington city, Van Buren at their head, who has always a head for contrivance, this ingenious device was N struck out, founded upon the following elements: 1. Forsyth and Wayne had a number of warm personal friends who would go with them on any and all occasions, and of course, carry a number of others who" are led more by their sympathies and friendships than by principle or judgment. 2.

This book explains the elimination of maternal characters in American, British, French, and German literature before 1890 by examining motherless creations: Pygmalion’s statue, Frankenstein’s creature, homunculi, automata, androids, golems, and steam men. These beings typify what is now called artificial life, living systems made through manufactured means. Fantasies about creating life ex-utero were built upon misconceptions about how life began, sustaining pseudoscientific beliefs about the birthing body. Physicians, inventors, and authors of literature imagined generating life without women to control the process of reproduction and generate perfect progeny. Thus, some speculative fiction before 1890 belongs to the literary genealogy of transhumanism, the belief that technology will someday transform some humans into superior, immortal beings. Female motherless creations tend to operate as sexual companions. Male ones often emerge as subaltern figures analogous to enslaved beings, illustrating that reproductive rights inform readers’ sense of who counts as human in fictions of artificial life.
