With vivid depictions and biting satires of Scottish peasant life,
this lively and entertaining novel skillfully discusses and
dissects class issues, British imperialism, and war. Also included
are three examples of Hamilton's nonfiction, which, combined with
this tale, show that despite her ostensibly simple plot and style,
she brings together the political and social concerns of the day.
Writing in the late 18th and early 19th century, Elizabeth Hamilton
produced fiction, satire, comical sketches, philosophical essays,
historical biography, theological treatises, and essays on
educational theory, and this narrative is her best known work.
The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hamilton (1756? 1816) received
her education at a day school from the age of eight, and later
recalled her childhood and schooldays fondly. However, intellectual
girls in the period were regarded with some suspicion, and she
remembered hiding from visitors those books that might be deemed
inappropriate for a young woman. Later embarking on a literary
career, she published in 1801 her Letters on Education, republished
in this second edition of 1801 2. Owing much to the theories of
John Locke as well as the period's standard conduct-book advice on
the education of girls, Hamilton's work offers detailed theoretical
explorations of how children learn. 'Be not afraid my good friend,
' she writes, 'that I intend making speculative philosophers of
your daughters.' Volume 1 includes comments on the 'pernicious
effects of parental partiality', considering also 'contempt for the
female character' and 'pride of station'."

Sharing thirty years' experience as a Zen practitioner and teacher,
Hamilton offers a variety of practical tools for Zen training to a
wide audience. By practising to "untrain our inner parrot", we
learn to quiet down - and not take so seriously - ongoing habitual
mental chatter. In addition to helpful techniques for learning Zen
practice, the author also presents what's at the heart of Zen -
waking up to one's daily experience - in a clear, accessible,
lighthearted, and humorous style. It's a usable manual for
exploring and establishing a beginning sitting practice and
includes simple instructions to clarify and elucidate the basics
such as: how to develop physical, mental, and emotional awareness
of one's mind and actions; how to experience "open" awareness - the
objectivity of observing oneself in practice while allowing for a
sense of spaciously accommodating whatever occurs; and how to
understand and experience the esoteric Zen concept of full-empty
awareness - a full appreciation of the primordial nature of all,
which is the result of meditation.
When the Anti-Jacobin Review described Memoirs of Modern
Philosophers in 1800 as "the first novel of the day" and as proof
that "all the female writers of the day are not corrupted by the
voluptuous dogmas of Mary Godwin, or her more profligate
imitators," they clearly situated Elizabeth Hamilton's work within
the revolutionary debate of the 1790s. As with her successful first
novel, Letters of a Hindoo Rajah, Hamilton uses fiction to enter
the political fray and discuss issues such as female education, the
rights of woman and new philosophy. The novel follows the plight of
three heroines. The mock heroine, Bridgetina Botherim-a crude
caricature of Mary Hays-participates in an English-Jacobin group,
leading her to abandon her mother and home to pursue her beloved to
London in hopes of emigrating to the Hottentots in Africa. The
second heroine, Julia Delmont, is another member of the local
group; she is seduced by a hairdresser masquerading as a New
Philosopher. She is left pregnant and destitute only to discover
that her actions caused her father's untimely death. The third
heroine is the virtuous Harriet, whose Christian faith enables her
to resist the teachings of the New Philosophers.
