Riassunto

“Miss Call’s first book brought rest and strength to hundreds of nervously exhausted women. The second is to further help nervous sufferers along the road to well-being and is rich in restful suggestions.” -Boston Transcript

"We know of no volume that has come from the press in a long time which, widely and wisely read, could accomplish so much immediate good as this little book. It is the doctrine of physical rest stated in untechnical language, with practical suggestions. It ought to be in the hands of at least eight out of ten men and women now living and working on this continent." -Christian Union

“This book is needed. The nervous activity, the intellectual wear and tear of this day and land requires a physical repose as has none other. Every intellectual worker finds so much stimulant in his associations and in the opportunities for labor that he takes on more and more responsibilities, until he has all the strain it is possible for him to carry when everything goes smoothly, and when complications arise he has no reserve for emergencies.” -Journal of Education

In this, her second book, Annie Payson Call goes more deeply into mental causes of nervous strain. She recognizes that there are certain simple relations of everyday life and simple circumstances, which men and women have been in the habit of meeting with strain, when a very little attention to the subject would enable them to see the unnecessary burdens they were carrying and to cast them entirely aside.

The aim of this short book is to assist towards the removal of nervous irritants, which are not only the cause of much physical disease, but materially interfere with the best possibilities of usefulness and pleasure in everyday life.

Think of As a Matter of Course as a philosophical manifesto for women who embrace traditional roles and values in the family and in the wider world. In this collection, the popular nineteenth-century magazine columnist Annie Payson Call addresses a broad range of issues and matters spiritual and practical in nature, issuing advice that is both thought-provoking and timeless in its wisdom.
