The Five Editions Of Old Mens Tears, Paul Royster
The Five Editions Of Old Mens Tears, Paul Royster
Paul Royster
Following are reproduced the title pages of the five printed editions of Joshua Scottow’s Old Mens Tears for Their Own Declensions. It is certainly unusual for such a work to have been reprinted so many times over such a long period, 1691–1769, and it must testify to the continuing appeal of the tract in New England. Scottow died in 1698, and so had no hand in any of the editions except the first. A multi-edition collation might yield a genetic tree, showing which editions derived from which others. Preliminary examination seems to suggest that the second and third editions derived …
The Discovery, Settlement And Present State Of Kentucke (1784) : An Online Electronic Text Edition, John Filson, Paul Royster (Editor)
The Discovery, Settlement And Present State Of Kentucke (1784) : An Online Electronic Text Edition, John Filson, Paul Royster (Editor)
Paul Royster
This is an open-access electronic text edition of Filson’s seminal work on the early history of Kentucky, including the first published account of the life and adventures of Daniel Boone. Filson’s work was an unabashedly optimistic account of the western territory, where Filson had acquired large land claims, whose value he sought to enhance by the publication of this advertisement and incitement for further settlement. Scarcely two years after the violent and tragic British and Indian invasion of 1782, Filson portrayed Kentucky as a natural paradise, where peace, plenty, and security reigned. Of some significance is Filson’s recognition that the …
An Address On Success In Business (1867), Horace Greeley, Paul Royster (Depositor)
An Address On Success In Business (1867), Horace Greeley, Paul Royster (Depositor)
Paul Royster
Delivered before the Students of Packard's Bryant & Stratton New York Business College, November 11, 1867. "Young men, I would have you believe that success in life is within the reach of everyone who will truly and nobly seek it— that there is scope for all—that the universe is not bankrupt—that there is abundance of work for those who are wise enough to look for it where it is—and that, with sound morality and a careful adaptation of means to ends, there is in this land of ours larger opportunities, more just and well grounded hopes, than in any other …

The Music Of Form, Peter Elbow
The Music Of Form, Peter Elbow
Peter Elbow
The concept itself of "organization" tends to be biased towards a picture of how objects are organized in space--and neglects the story of how events are organized in time. I’ll explore five ways to organize written language that harness or bind time. In effect, I'm exploring form as a source of energy.
The Christian Recorder, Broken Families And Educated Nations: Julia Collins' Civil War Novel The Curse Of Caste, P. Gabrielle Foreman
The Christian Recorder, Broken Families And Educated Nations: Julia Collins' Civil War Novel The Curse Of Caste, P. Gabrielle Foreman
P. Gabrielle Foreman
This essay views Julia Collins’s The Curse of Caste; or The Slave Bride (1865) through the racialized lens of Civil War’s promise and trauma. At first glance, the author’s narrative choices—her antebellum frame, her principal character’s racial indeterminacy and domestic concerns, even the overtly racialized advice she dispenses in the essays she publishes in the important Black paper, the Christian Recorder—seem distractingly distanced from the immediacy of the unfolding national conflict. Yet, readers can plot Collins’s story on the temporal and activist axes that she so explicitly engages by publishing in the Recorder, a paper that printed editorials …
The Thrill Of Being Here: A Letter From Fortin De Las Flores, Mexico, John D. Hazlett
The Thrill Of Being Here: A Letter From Fortin De Las Flores, Mexico, John D. Hazlett
John D Hazlett
"The Thrill of Being Here" is an epistolary meditative essay on the desire for, and difficulties of, penetration, considered as a goal of travel, intercultural communication, and understanding of the other. Writing from a small town situated in the uplands of Veracruz, Mexico, Hazlett considers the possibility that a series of acupuncture sessions might serve as a fine metaphor for his year living and working abroad.
