Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Harriet Jane Farley was of old New England stock, the daughter of Rev. Stephen and Lucy (Saunders) Farley, and was born in Claremont, New Hampshire, where her father was pastor of the Congregational church. He moved to Atkinson, N. H. , when Harriet was six years old, there joining to pastoral labors the principalship of an academy.
She was well trained in the common- school subjects, French, drawing, and ornamental needle-work, and early displayed a lively interest in literature and composition.
Many of her associates, like herself, were from country homes, ambitious, and eager for cultivation. Improvement Circles for their benefit were organized in the town, and out of one of these, conducted by a Universalist minister, Rev. Abel C. Thomas, came the Lowell Offering, a periodical destined to bring her into prominence both in this country and abroad. Its contents consisted exclusively of contributions from girl-workers in the Lowell mills. As a regular monthly it began in 1841 and was issued under the supervision of Mr. Thomas until October 1842, when it was taken over by Harriet Farley and Harriot Curtis. For a year they employed William Schouler to publish it, and then themselves became editors, publishers, and proprietors. It attracted much attention as indicative of the character and possibilities of American mill operatives; interested Harriet Martineau; was reviewed in the London Atheneeum; and a compilation from its contents, entitled Mind Amongst the Spindles, with an introduction by Charles Knight, was published in England in 1844. Miss Farley issued a volume of her own contributions, Shells from the Strand of the Sea of Genius, three years later. At the end of 1845 the magazine was discontinued, but in September 1847 Miss Farley revived it under the title, The New England Offering. Only one copy was issued until April 1848, after which it appeared regularly until March 1850. In the latter year, remarks reflecting on New England mill conditions by Senator Jeremiah Clemens of Alabama incited her to publish a pamphlet, Operatives’ Reply to Hon. Jere. Clemens, being a Sketch of Factory Life and Factory Enterprise, etc. She was also the editor of Discourses and Essays on Theological and Speculative Topics (1851), by her father, Stephen Farley, and author of Happy Nights at Hazel Nook (1852). She herself lived to be ninety, dying in that city at the Home for Incurables. She is said to have lectured on “The Laws of Life, or Hints for the Determination of Sex, ” and in 1880 published Fancy's Frolics; or Christmas Stories Told in a Happy Home (Ha- zelnook ) in New England.

The family was large, one of the children was an epileptic, the mother was afflicted with a disease that affected both body and mind, and Harriet herself suffered severely from asthma and was thought to be consumptive. At the age of fourteen it was necessary for her to help support herself, and she stated later that at one time or another, she had “plaited palm-leaf and straw, bound shoes, taught school and worked at tailoring. ” The respectable profession of teaching she was expected to follow was repugnant to her, and being of independent, aggressive disposition, she went to Lowell, Massachusetts, and as a mill-hand supported herself and contributed liberally to the needs of her family.
In 1854 she married John Intaglio Donlevy (d. 1872), an inventor, and resided in New York.
