Edith Wharton published a novel in 1925 called A Mother's Recompense. She gives this acknowldgement regarding her re-use of the title: "My excuses are due to the decorous shade of Grace Aguilar, loved of our grandmothers, for deliberately appropriating, and applying to uses so different, the title of one of the most admired of her tales. E.W." Here is the citation: http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks05/0500121h.html Preservation Guide (talk) 16:57, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Genealogy

[edit]

Dugdale says "Grace's Grandfather, Joseph Aguilar (1765 - 17th December 1822) had married his first cousin Grace Aguilar (1764 - 28th February 1823) The generation of Aguilar's before this had owned sugar plantations in Jamaica, their forebears having fled Jewish persecution in Spain." There is no evidence that Joseph and Grace were first cousins and the generation before this is unknown. Kittybrewster 09:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Systematically

[edit]

From the entry: "Her mother, a cultivated woman of strong religious feeling, trained her to read the Scriptures systematically...."

What does "systematically" mean in this case? This is a term normally used with certain branches of science. Thank you. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 04:14, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copy editing

[edit]

I want to edit this article a bit for clarity. I hope nobody minds, I want to change some wording, redo sentence structure in a few place. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 04:26, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
