Review Of Dear Papa, Dear Charley: Papers Of Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, 1748-1782. Edited By Ronald Hoffman, Sally D. Mason, And Eleanor S. Darcy., William C. Digiacomantonio

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

A prolific Irish Catholic family, only two generations old in America, is ruled by a stern patriarch who dedicates his sizable fortune (earned through a traffic of questionable ethics) to furthering his dynastic ambitions for a son who subsequently becomes a United States Senator from a state that begins with the letter "M" .... If you thought you knew where this was going, think again. The father/son team in question is Charles Carroll of Annapolis and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who-to adopt only one of the several useful editorial devices utilized in Dear Papa, Dear Charleywill be referred to hereafter …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

In discussing the state of Web-based resources in my field, nineteenth-century American literature, my purpose is to provide some assessment of notable achievements and good works in progress, as well as to offer some comments about directions for the future.


Scholarly Editing And The Relationship Between The United States And Europe: Recent Developments In The Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (Mega), Malcolm Sylvers Mar 2002

Scholarly Editing And The Relationship Between The United States And Europe: Recent Developments In The Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (Mega), Malcolm Sylvers

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The present-day MEGA, which began in the early 1970's, was a second attempt at a complete edition. The first one, in the Soviet Union in the 1920's and 1930's, did not get very far primarily because many collaborators fell victim to repression by Stalin. When it was again begun, the MEGA was intended as an exclusive production of the two IMLs, although two-thirds of the manuscripts of Marx and Engels were at the IISG in Amsterdam In fact, if both the host governments were at first somewhat hesitant, this was not only because of the enormous costs involved but also …

Our Frame Of Reference In The Twenty-First Century, Joseph R. Mcelrath Jr. Mar 2002

Our Frame Of Reference In The Twenty-First Century, Joseph R. Mcelrath Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Several months ago I began to wonder, what could I possibly say in this address that members of our Association had not heard before? How to begin after a full dinner, with an audience of slightly drowsy, cropful scholars who share so many of the same articles of faith regarding theory and practice? What had Mary-Jo Kline not at least touched upon in her magisterial Guide to Documentary Editing? What had we not discussed since the mid-1980's when I attended my first ADE annual meeting in Providence, Rhode Island? What kindly advice had G. Thomas Tanselle not thundered; which comic …


The Civil War On The Internet, John Y. Simon Mar 2002

The Civil War On The Internet, John Y. Simon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

You are about to read a paper on Civil War resources available on the World Wide Web by someone forced to acquire a computer by his dean over his strenuous objections. I now concede that she was right, but I still require assistance with computer problems, sometimes calling out in distress to the young woman in the adjoining office who grew up with and loves computers. What she can't fix requires a call to technical support people in the basement, one of them named Gonzo, and another named Trouble. This paper would be different if Gonzo or Trouble had written …

In Memoriam: Edward C. Carter Ii, 1928-2002, Barbara Oberg

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1954, Ted went on to receive his Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr in 1962. He then taught at Phillips Academy, the University of Delaware, St. Stephen's School in Rome (where the library is named in his honor), the Johns Hopkins University, and Catholic University, Dr. Carter's life came full circle when he returned to Philadelphia in 1980. There he became the Librarian of the American Philosophical Society and began teaching at Penn. He brought with him to the APS the ten-volume edition of The Papers of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, then in progress under …


A Glimpse Into Childhood: Review Of Susan Paul, The Memoir Of James Jackson, The Attentive And Obedient Scholar, Who Died In Boston, October 31, 1833, Aged Six Years And Eleven Months, Ed. Lois Brown., Constance B. Schulz Dec 2001

A Glimpse Into Childhood: Review Of Susan Paul, The Memoir Of James Jackson, The Attentive And Obedient Scholar, Who Died In Boston, October 31, 1833, Aged Six Years And Eleven Months, Ed. Lois Brown., Constance B. Schulz

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Sources by or about the lives of young children are not widely or easily available; sources offering a glimpse into the life a young African American child are particularly scarce. For that reason alone, Lois Brown's rediscovery of this long-neglected Memoir and Harvard University Press's decision to publish it in a serious scholarly edition (in paper as well as cloth) is an important contribution to the literature. Brown describes the Memoir, originally published in Boston in 1835 by the white antislavery activist bookseller and printer James Loring, as a combination of "two distinctive nineteenth- century literary forms, the didactic spiritual …


A Troublesome Letter Signed "Yrs Ch. Darwin", Frederick H. Burkhardt Dec 2001

A Troublesome Letter Signed "Yrs Ch. Darwin", Frederick H. Burkhardt

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

In 1985 when the editors of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin were assembling letters for volume 2 (1837-1843), the letter to be described below came to their attention. The editors decided to omit it from the edition because, despite the "Ch. Darwin" signature, it was not considered an authentic Darwin letter. Some scholars have questioned this decision, among them Professor Phillip R. Sloan, who thinks that it may be a Darwin letter, or that at least it should be included as a letter of uncertain authorship. Accordingly, the editors have decided to review the decision and to consider whether any …

A Letter To John W. Carlin

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

At the end of October, the ADE Council learned that the agenda for the November 13 meeting of Commissioners of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission would include a plan for ranking ongoing NHPRC-funded editorial projects with an eye for possible curtailment of funds. Such a plan would have gone into effect only in case of financial emergency, and it would have applied only to the "second tier" of projects whose grant applications are considered in the spring, not the "first tier" Founding Fathers editions. Even so, the Council felt it wise to put the Association for Documentary Editing …

A Plea For Caution: A Response To Frederick Burkhardt, Phillip R. Sloan Dec 2001

A Plea For Caution: A Response To Frederick Burkhardt, Phillip R. Sloan

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Professor Burkhardt's detailed and exhaustive analysis of this curious letter has provided a classic case of the kind of problems one might face in textual editing. My own interest in this letter was first generated during my editing of the Hunterian lectures of Darwin's contemporary, Richard Owen. It also relates to my long-term interest in the importance of Darwin's work on invertebrate organisms and its relevance to the origins of his evolutionary theory. This work commenced during his early years in Edinburgh and persisted through the Beagle years and even beyond into his eight years of study of the barnacles. …


"A Superior Opportunity Of Being A Good Man": Review Of The Law Practice Of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition. Edited By Martha L. Benner And Cullom Davis., Gerald J. Prokopowicz Dec 2001

"A Superior Opportunity Of Being A Good Man": Review Of The Law Practice Of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition. Edited By Martha L. Benner And Cullom Davis., Gerald J. Prokopowicz

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Great president. Lousy lawyer." In four words, a movie character played by the late actor Walter Matthau thus summed up the career of Abraham Lincoln. For most of the 136 years since Lincoln's death, general readers and scholars alike have accepted this verdict. Occasional Southern partisans have tried to belittle Lincoln's greatness as a president, but no substantial challenges to his overall reputation appeared between Edgar Lee Master's vitriolic Lincoln: The Man in 1931 and Lerone Bennett's Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream in 2000. During that span, hundreds of other authors portrayed Lincoln in every possible light: dynamic …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

This is the nineteenth and final volume in A J. Veenendaal's magnificent edition of the private correspondence of the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Anthonie Heinsius (1641-1720). Fully described in a previous issue of this journal (see "A Dutch Door to Europe, 1702-1720," Documentary Editing 19 [September 1997]: 57-61), Heinsius's correspondence has long been recognized as the single most important source for European international history during the War of the Spanish Succession and its immediate aftermath. Over the course of a thirty-three-year project, this volume completes the total of 23,274 edited letters in Dutch, French, German, and English from the period …
