Margret Howth: A Story of Today is a novel written by Rebecca Harding Davis. It was first published in 1862 and is considered a classic of American literature. The story follows the life of Margret Howth, a young woman living in the mid-19th century who is struggling to make her way in a world that is dominated by men.Margret is a strong, independent woman who is determined to make her own way in life. She works as a seamstress and is able to support herself, but she longs for something more. When she meets a wealthy businessman named Mr. Grahame, she sees an opportunity to improve her station in life.As Margret becomes more involved with Mr. Grahame, she begins to see the darker side of his world. She discovers that he is involved in shady business dealings and is not the man she thought he was. Margret must decide whether to continue down this path or to strike out on her own.The novel explores themes of gender roles, class struggle, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. It is a powerful commentary on the social and economic conditions of the time, and it remains relevant today. Margret Howth: A Story of Today is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American literature and the struggles of women in the 19th century.Now that I have come to the love part of my story, I am suddenly conscious of dingy common colors on the palette with which I have been painting. I wish I had some brilliant dyes. I wish, with all my heart, I could take you back to that Once upon a time'' in which the souls of our grandmothers delighted, -- the time which Dr. Johnson sat up all night to read about in Evelina.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
