These are beneficences, and Irving's literature, walk around it and measure it by whatever critical instruments you will, is a beneficent literature." American Men of Letters Series, Washington Irving, p. 302. Then there is Emerson, a son of the manse and once a minister himself. He was, therefore, perfectly familiar with the English Bible.

Without the Maharaja's sympathy and purse these beneficences could not have been created; but he is a man of wide views and large generosities, and all such matters find hospitality with him.
The keeping up of old beneficences meant redoubled labor and, as she said to Mary, with the smile that Mary found so wonderful: "It seems to me now that whenever I put my hand out to help, it gets caught and pinched."
