Aspirations Of The World: A Chain Of Opals is a book written by Lydia Maria Francis Child and first published in 1878. The book is a collection of essays on various topics such as religion, politics, and social issues. The title of the book is inspired by the metaphor of a chain of opals, where each essay is like a gemstone that adds to the beauty and value of the whole chain.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different theme. The first part is titled ''Aspirations of the Soul'' and deals with spiritual and philosophical topics such as the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the afterlife. The second part is titled ''Aspirations of the Heart'' and deals with social and emotional topics such as love, friendship, and family. The third part is titled ''Aspirations of the Intellect'' and deals with intellectual and political topics such as education, democracy, and social justice.Lydia Maria Francis Child was a prominent American abolitionist, women’s rights activist, and writer. She wrote several books and articles on social and political issues, and her work was influential in shaping public opinion on issues such as slavery and women’s suffrage. Aspirations Of The World: A Chain Of Opals is one of her most well-known works and is still relevant today as a source of inspiration and insight into the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
