Description
Excerpt from War With the Saints: Count Raymond of Toulouse, and the Crusade Against the Albigenses, Under Pope Innocent III
Vented during one of her sleepless nights, a machine which was immediately constructed by a clever car penter. It consisted of two rollers on a frame on the lower one many yards of paper were rolled, and as fast as she filled a page, writing with the frame rest ing on her knees, a turn of a small winch wound off the manuscript to the upper roller, and brought up a clean surface of paper. In this manner she would write papers for the press, and letters to friends, measuring three, or four, or six yards in length. Dictation was very difficult to her; no pen but her own could follow her thoughts with sufficient rapid ity, nor did she resort to this mode of writing, un til absolutely compelled to it, during the two last months of her life.
