Excerpt from The Virginia Carys: An Essay in Genealogy Brougham had moved a parliamentary commis sion to investigate such hoary eleemosynary trusts as had outlived their usefulness, and a report had come in that, among others, a property known as Cary's Rents should revert to the heirs of the founder; this was described as lying, forsooth, on the Thames opposite Windsor, but already swallowed by the growth Of London: the Lord Chancellor, clearing his docket, had exhumed an estate which had remained in Chancery until the direct representatives Of the original liti gants had become extinct; a new interpretation of a Tudor marriage settlement had overturned long established property rights. It was even averted positively that the British Government had asked the State Department at Washington to produce the Cary heir. In due time, when te plies to frantic inquiries in England came in, there was found to be no foundation whatever for the story: it was a purely American inven tion; no one had heard Of it in England. The bubble was pricked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is an unusual and challenging study of the 'inner world' of the Virginia gentry during Jefferson's lifetime. It argues that, in the years after the Revolution, the gentry turned away from public life into the privacy of their homes and families. A new, sentimental religion agreed that the world was filled with woe and advised detachment from it in preparation for a better one to come. Notions of success, likewise, offered little cheer, as men and women reluctantly accepted the individualistic proposition that their destinies were in their own hands. Neither religion nor success assured earthly happiness; instead, Virginians sought their salvation in love. There, in the family and in feeling, men and women broke through the eighteenth-century's emotional restraint to pursue, but not always to find, the happiness they believed awaited them.
