Forbes 1417 . $17,500 Quarto edition of the Hawaiian Bible: “The typographical masterpiece of the Mission Press. This ‘stately volume’ was printed with great care on the finest available paper, and it was designed primarily to supply church pulpits” (Forbes). The translation of the Bible into Hawaiian was undertaken between 1828 and 1839; a duodecimo edition was published 1837-9 in three thick volumes. An octavo edition was begun in 1843, and this large format edition was produced concurrently: “the title page has been reset, and the text has been slightly repositioned to conform to the larger page size ... the printing records of the mission show that this was considered at the time to be a distinct edition” (Forbes). Two printed leaves are inserted between the Old and New Testaments: the first headed “Moohana - Na Hanau” (births) and “Moohana - Na Mare” (marriages), and both side of the second are headed “Moohana - Na Make” (deaths). Forbes records the presence of these leaves in some copies of the octavo edition but makes no mention of them in his discussion of the quarto edition. The binding on the present copy follows that of the presentation copy in Hawaiian binding in the P.M.

  • Stoic Enlightenments
    Copyright © 2011 Margaret Felice Wald All rights reserved STOIC ENLIGHTENMENTS By MARGARET FELICE WALD A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English written under the direction of Michael McKeon and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Stoic Enlightenments By MARGARET FELICE WALD Dissertation Director: Michael McKeon Stoic ideals infused seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thought, not only in the figure of the ascetic sage who grins and bears all, but also in a myriad of other constructions, shaping the way the period imagined ethical, political, linguistic, epistemological, and social reform. My dissertation examines the literary manifestation of Stoicism’s legacy, in particular regarding the institution and danger of autonomy, the foundation and limitation of virtue, the nature of the passions, the difference between good and evil, and the referentiality of language. Alongside the standard satirical responses to the ancient creed’s rigor and rationalism, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, drama, and prose developed Stoic formulations that made the most demanding of philosophical ideals tenable within the framework of common experience. Instead of serving as hallmarks for hypocrisy, the literary stoics I investigate uphold a brand of stoicism fit for the post-regicidal, post- Protestant Reformation, post-scientific revolutionary world. My project reveals how writers used Stoicism to determine the viability of philosophical precept and establish ways of compensating for human fallibility. The ambivalent status of the Stoic sage, staged and restaged in countless texts, exemplified the period’s anxiety about measuring up to its ideals, its efforts to discover the plenitude of ii natural laws and to live by them.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.

  • Ambivalent Ambulation: Fan Pilgrimage and the Itinerantextual Cult Film
    AMBIVALENT AMBULATION: FAN PILGRIMAGE AND THE ITINERANTEXTUAL CULT FILM by JONATHAN AMBROSE CANNON Bachelor of Arts, The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Jonathan Ambrose Cannon, 2012 ABSTRACT Peripatetic by nature yet polymorphous in form, the topic of fan pilgrimage expresses a significant dearth in cult film and media scholarship. Whilst the concept of pilgrimage has been classically linked to religious duty and moral obligation, its ability to straddle both traditionalist and secularist rationales amidst increased globalisation makes such ambiguous mobility ripe for closer analysis. In this thesis, I will theorise fan pilgrimage using a series of itinerant fan taxonomies to recontextualise the role of the pilgrim and its function within select fan groups. Utilising the critical literature of Zygmunt Bauman, Victor Turner, and Roger C. Aden, respectively, Chapter 1 reevaluates ideas of community and reconfigures the spatiotemporal theories of performance articulated by Richard Schechner through fan pilgrimage and performative communitas. Chapter 2 explores how theories of play and everyday life create my first fan taxonomy: the ludic pilgrim. Via the play theory of Johan Huizinga and Roger Caillois as well as the theories of everyday life held by Erving Goffman, I argue for a correlation between play and costume through the case study of the otaku – i.e. fans of Japanese anime and manga. Chapter 3 employs fashion theory to subcultural style and reconsiders the value of the goth subculture and female vampire fandom by way of my second fan taxonomy: the subsartorial pilgrim.

  • More Than a Touch of Madness Below Performance (1970)
    Articles More Than a Touch of Madness Below Performance (1970) On its release in the United States in 1970, Life magazine critic Richard Schickel described Don- More Than ald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg’s debut filmPerfor - mance as ‘the most completely worthless film I have seen since I began reviewing’ (Schickel 1970). Pretty a Touch of harsh words from Schickel who, along with Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael, had embraced much of the new American and European cinema and had railed Madness against the New York Times critic Bosley Crowther for denouncing as trash Arthur Penn’s breakthrough The flawed brilliance of Nicolas Roeg film, Bonnie and Clyde (1967). One can only guess that watching a couple of bodies being riddled with and Donald Cammell’s debut film bullet holes must have been easier to digest than Performance watching three hippies taking a bath in a tub of dirty water. But whatever his cinematic politics, Schickel was not alone. John Simon, then writing in the New By Dean Goldberg York Times, wrote: You do not have to be a drug addict, ped- Keywords Nicolas Roeg, Donald Cammell, erast, sado-masochist, or nitwit to enjoy Performance, 1960s, Mick Jagger, Anita Performance, but being one or more of these Pallenberg things would help […] [It’s] a prime example of the Loathsome Film, a genre that sub- sists purely on shock value, cheap thrills, decadent artiness, glorification of amoral- ity, and sheer mystification […] And there is the supreme horror of the film, Mick Jagger, whose lack of talent is equaled only by a repulsiveness of epic proportions […] It is all mindless intellectual pretension and patho- logically reveled-in gratuitous nastiness, and it means nothing.
