Arguing OriginalIntent in Legislative Debate A significant body of literature has examined how the Framers and rati- fiers of the Constitution 2 subsequently viewed the role of original intent in construing the Constitution. The primary focus of these works is how those views should influence today's courts in deciding controversies. 3 A less de- veloped question, however, is how members of the First Congress employed originalist constitutional arguments in making and debating proposed stat- utes.4 This study seeks to contribute to that exploration, not by discussing what the Founders believed about using originalist arguments, but by examin- ing the record of the First Federalist Congress to determine what originalist 5 arguments its members actually made. 1.

The dissertation moves from the operations of violence on the ground to the ideological implications of violence in the era of gradual emancipation.

On June 27, 1807, several thousand mourners assembled in Norfolk, Virginia, to witness Robert MacDonald’s internment. An ordi- nary mariner, MacDonald belonged to a class of maritime laborers, peo- ple who hoisted sails, stored cargoes, swabbed decks, and followed orders. Dead sailors normally rated scant attention and modest funerals when they died ashore, while death at sea meant burial over the side.

    The Life and Travels of John Bartram (1699-1777), „His Majesty´S Botanist for North America“, and His Sons Isaac, Moses and William

    The Life and Travels of John Bartram (1699-1777), „His Majesty´s Botanist for North America“, and his Sons Isaac, Moses and William Holger Goetzendorff, Pulheim (Alemania) [email protected] John Bartram, a Quaker, came from Derbyshire, England and settled 1681 in America. He had established himself as one of the leaders of the new community of Darby Creek near Philadelphia. He had five children among them William who was the father of the future botanist John. John Bartram John received the average education in a Quaker school. By the time he reached twelve years, his interest developed to ‚Physick ‛ and surgery and later to ‚Botanicks ‛. In 1709 his father William moved to Carolina. There was a lot of trouble between the indians and the white settlers, some of their land had been purchased, but much had simply been taken. 22.9.1711: Indians attacked the area and William was killed. His second wife and the children were taken prisoners for half a year. John Bartram and Mary Maris were maried 1722. Their son Isaac was born in 1724. She died five years later in 1727. 1728 John Bartram purchased land at Kingsessing near Philadelphia. One year later John Bartram and his second wife Ann Mendenhall were married. Residence of John Bartram, built in 1730 John built a house on his farm which is still standing today. The farm behind the house was accompanied by a large garden and one of the first botanical gardens in America. He bought a lot of land round the farm and in Philadelphia where he built houses.

    Thomas Say and Thoreau’S Entomology

    THOMAS SAY AND THOREAU’S ENTOMOLOGY “Entomology extends the limits of being in a new direction, so that I walk in nature with a sense of greater space and freedom. It suggests besides, that the universe is not rough-hewn, but perfect in its details. Nature will bear the closest inspection; she invites us to lay our eye level with the smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. She has no interstices; every part is full of life. I explore, too, with pleasure, the sources of the myriad sounds which crowd the summer noon, and which seem the very grain and stuff of which eternity is made. Who does not remember the shrill roll-call of the harvest fly? ANACREON There were ears for these sounds in Greece long ago, as Anacreon’s ode will show” — Henry Thoreau “Natural History of Massachusetts” July 1842 issue of The Dial1 “There is as much to be discovered and to astonish in magnifying an insect as a star.” — Dr. Thaddeus William Harris 1. Franklin Benjamin Sanborn reported that “one of Harvard College’s natural historians” (we may presume this to have been Dr. Thaddeus William Harris, Thoreau’s teacher in natural science in his senior year) had remarked to Bronson Alcott that “if Emerson had not spoiled him, Thoreau would have made a good entomologist.” HDT WHAT?
