My main purpose has been twofold: to examine the text of Walden in light of the research and commentary that has been published in the past 150 years, and to present a reliable text with as comprehensive a series of annotations as possible. I have tried to correct errors and omissions of previous editions without creating new ones, but I feel like the traveler Thoreau described in his ‘‘Conclusion’’ to Walden who was told by a boy that the swamp before him had a hard bot- tom. On the traveler’s horse sinking in up to the girths, he said, ‘‘I thought you said that this bog had a hard bottom.’’ ‘‘So it has,’’ answered the boy, ‘‘but you have not got half way to it yet.’’ We maynevergettothebottomofWalden, but I hope we have gotten that much closer.

Without the foundations set by these three, this book could not have been made. I proceed humbly in their footsteps, but I proceed knowing that they would all agree with Emerson’s words in ‘‘The Method of Nature’’: ‘‘Nothing solid is secure.... Even the scholar is not safe; he too is searched and revised.’’ A work like this could not have been made without the help of literally hundreds of people, known and unknown. Many are ac- knowledged below, but there are many who, I regret, have become anonymous and for these omissions of credit I apologize. There is generosity and enthusiasm in the world for which I am apprecia- tive, and it is rewarding to know that such dedication and passion exists. Among those I am especially grateful to are Bill Grealish, for- merly of the Boston Public Library, reference librarian par excel- lence, and Nancy Browne, who came through in a pinch to locate and proof some last-minute resources; Thomas Knowles, Ameri- can Antiquarian Society; Jeanne Bracken, Lincoln Public Library; Diane Ota and Janice Chadbourne of the Boston Public Library, who helped with questions about music and art; Russell A. Pot- ter and Chas Cowing, for information on Kane and Franklin; Donald W. Linebaugh of the Program for Archaeological Research, The University of Kentucky, for questions about archaeology and nineteenth-century building practices; all the Stumpers-L wom- bats and, in particular, Denis Lien of the University of Minne- sota Libraries; Jack Larkin, Director of Research, Collections, and Acknowledgments xiii Tseng 2004.6.17 12:17 7117 Thoreau / WALDEN / sheet 14 of 398 Library at Old Sturbridge Village; Austin Meredith; Ruth R.

Huntington Library in San Marino, California, and the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library. My thanks to Robert Richardson and Wes Mott for their inci- sive readings of early drafts of, respectively, ‘‘Where I Lived, and What I Lived For’’ and ‘‘TheVillage’’; LeslieWilson, Concord Pub- lic Library, for her invaluable help in locating material and for her reading of an early draft of ‘‘Conclusion’’; and Greg Joly, for the manyenjoyable and informative hours of discussion over the mean- ing of a word or a phrase, and his casting the eye of a printer and a poet over ‘‘Economy.’’ I am grateful to Kathi Anderson, Executive Director of the Wal- denWoods Project and the Thoreau Institute at WaldenWoods, for her support and flexibility in helping me to get this project done. I am indebted to the various Thoreau scholars who have do- nated their research to the collections of the Thoreau Society and the Walden Woods Project. These collections, housed at the Tho- reau Institute at WaldenWoods, Lincoln, Massachusetts, and man- aged by Walden Woods Project, are an invaluable and unparalleled resource, without which this book could not have been completed. Also, John Kulka of Yale University Press for his vision and con- fidence in bringing to fruition a project that was, in many ways, 150 years in the making. Thanks also to my daughters, Kazia and Zoë, who had hoped that when this book was done, so would be my talking about Tho- reau. And finally, but always foremost in my heart and mind, my wife, Julia Berkley, who has been my toughest critic, staunchest sup- porter through everything Thoreauvian or not, and dearest friend. xiv Acknowledgments Tseng 2004.6.17 12:17 7117 Thoreau / WALDEN / sheet 15 of 398 Introduction ‘‘‘Walden’ published.’’ That is all that Thoreau wrote in his jour- nal on 9 August 1854, the day of the publication of Walden, nine years and seven manuscript drafts after his move to Walden Pond. Several months earlier, when he received the first proofs, he simply wrote, ‘‘Got first proof of ‘Walden.’’’ It seems like one of the most uneventful of occurrences, given the lack of notice in his journals. After the failure of his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merri- mack Rivers, he may have been proceeding cautiously and without much hope of success. The day he moved to Walden Pond was similarly minimalized in his journal: ‘‘July 5. Saturday. Walden.—Yesterday I came here to live.’’ Perhaps the place itself was less important than being off on his own and he had not yet come to realize what that would mean to him. Although the name Walden, whether referring to the placeorthebook,isrifewithsymbolandmeaningonbothan intellectual and personal level for millions 150 years later, Thoreau had considered several other spots as sites for a possible residence. It didn’t become a reality until Ralph Waldo Emerson purchased more than a dozen acres of land on the north side of Walden Pond, a 62-acre, 103-foot-deep glacial kettle-hole pond, and gave Thoreau permission to live there.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 12, 2012 Accepted: January 3, 2013 Online Published: January 17, 2013 doi:10.5539/ells.v3n1p16 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ells.v3n1p16 Abstract This paper intends to discuss Byron’s “Sardanapalus” by focusing on the Hegelian master-slave dialectics. Written in 1821, “Sardanapalus” presents some trends about Lord Byron’s creation of the Byronic Hero. The Byronic hero is emotional, dreamy, and impulsive. Sardanapalus, the Byronic hero, is the Assyrian King who possesses the complicated nature of both master and slave which is the focus of this article. There are encounters of masters and slaves that consciously and unconsciously take place in this dramatic verse. Sardanapalus’ relationships to his mistress, his brother-in-law and the citizens involve a complex thesis and anti-thesis. Hegelian dialectics reflect the processes of recognition of consciousness through such thesis and anti-thesis. Bondage and lordship and dependency and independency are concepts that are within these processes. Hegel explains that the identity and role of the master and slave can be recognized when they are interacting.

  • The Assyrian Period the Nee-Babylonian Period
    and ready to put their ban and curse on any intruder. A large collection of administrative documents of the Cassite period has been found at Nippur. The Assyrian Period The names of the kings of Assyria who reigned in the great city of Nineveh in the eighth and seventh centuries until its total destruction in 606 B.C. have been made familiar to us through Biblical traditions concerning the wars of Israel and Juda, the siege of Samaria and Jeru- salem, and even the prophet Jonah. From the palaces at Calah, Nineveh, Khorsabad, have come monumental sculptures and bas-reliefs, historical records on alabaster slabs and on clay prisms, and the many clay tab- lets from the royal libraries. Sargon, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashur- banipal- the Sardanapalus of the Greeks- carried their wars to Baby- lonia, to Elam, to the old Sumerian south on the shores of the Persian Gulf. Babylon became a province of the Assyrian Empire under the king's direct control, or entrusted to the hand of a royal brother or even to a native governor. The temples were restored by their order. Bricks stamped with the names of the foreign rulers have been found at Nip- pur, Kish, Ur and other Babylonian cities, and may be seen in the Babylonian Section of the University Museum. Sin-balatsu-iqbi was governor of Ur and a devoted servant of Ashurbanipal. The temple of Nannar was a total ruin. He repaired the tower, the enclosing wall, the great gate, the hall of justice, where his inscribed door-socket, in the shape of a green snake, was still in position.

  • Creating a Commonplace Book (CPB) (20% of the Final Grade)
    Creating a Commonplace Book (CPB) (20% of the Final Grade) This semester, you will keep your own commonplace book (CPB). What is a commonplace book? (Figure 1) (FIGURE 1: DR. KENNEDY’S COMMONPLACE BOOK. (TYPED TRANSCRIPTION CAN BE ACCESSED HERE.)) 1 During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one of the most important tools of a reader or writer was a commonplace book. Peter Beal, leading expert on English manuscript studies, defines a commonplace book as “a manuscript book in which quotations or passages from reading matter, precepts, proverbs and aphorisms, useful rhetorical figures or exemplary phrasing, words and ideas, or other notes and memoranda are entered for ready reference under general subject headings.” For example, here is a short poem copied into a Commonplace Book that we may file under the heading of “Friendship” (Figure 2): * A TRUE FRIEND MUST LIKE A PRIVY BE TO EASE HIS FRIEND AT HIS NECESSITY. A TRUE FRIEND MUST LIKE A CHIMNEY BE HOTTEST IN WINTER OF ADVERSITY. (FIGURE 2: AN (UNATTRIBUTED) EPIGRAM WRITTEN IN THE COMMONPLACE BOOK OF MATTHEW DAY (1574-1661, MAYOR OF WINDSOR) [MANUSCRIPT], CA. 1650. (FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY, V.A.160, 4||5). The Renaissance commonplace book allowed readers to actively engage with their texts, choosing and curating passages that spoke to them, and to transcribe those passages into journals under organized headings. Early modern readers marked up their texts, underlining favorite lines, writing marginal notes (such as attribution tags), using asterisks and manicules (these cute little pointing hand signs (☞)) to point out favorite passages, cross-listing page numbers, crossing out text they did not like, writing lists, practicing their signature, drawing obscene images, etc.

  • Common Place: Rereading 'Nation' in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta
    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.

  • Geology and Mineral Resources of Douglas County
    STATE OF OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES 1069 State Office Building Portland, Oregon 97201 BU LLE TIN 75 GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES of DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON Le n Ra mp Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries The preparation of this report was financially aided by a grant from Doug I as County GOVERNING BOARD R. W. deWeese, Portland, Chairman William E. Miller, Bend Donald G. McGregor, Grants Pass STATE GEOLOGIST R. E. Corcoran FOREWORD Douglas County has a history of mining operations extending back for more than 100 years. During this long time interval there is recorded produc­ tion of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and nickel, plus lesser amounts of other metalliferous ores. The only nickel mine in the United States, owned by The Hanna Mining Co., is located on Nickel Mountain, approxi­ mately 20 miles south of Roseburg. The mine and smelter have operated con­ tinuously since 1954 and provide year-round employment for more than 500 people. Sand and gravel production keeps pace with the local construction needs. It is estimated that the total value of all raw minerals produced in Douglas County during 1972 will exceed $10, 000, 000 . This bulletin is the first in a series of reports to be published by the Department that will describe the general geology of each county in the State and provide basic information on mineral resources. It is particularly fitting that the first of the series should be Douglas County since it is one of the min­ eral leaders in the state and appears to have considerable potential for new discoveries during the coming years.

  • Elizabeth I's Commonplace Book
    Duncan 1 Educating a Princess: Elizabeth I’s Commonplace Book by © Moira Duncan A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Department of English Memorial University of Newfoundland July 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland Duncan 2 Abstract Elizabeth I (1558-1603) received an exceptional humanist education in a time when female learning primarily meant moral and domestic training. Elizabeth’s instruction combined elements of both the privately oriented domestic education of women and the more public rhetorical training reserved primarily for men. Her educational model is most clearly shown in the commonplace book associated with her, which constituted a vital component and indispensable tool in her training. In 1563 a commonplace book, entitled Precationes Priuate, Regiae E[lizabethae]. R[eginae] (STC 7576.7) was published under Elizabeth’s name by the London printer Thomas Purfoot. Aside from Precationes, or private prayers, the composite volume also includes two other works: Sententiae, a collection of sayings, and Regna Quibis Imperat Elizabeta Regina Angliae, a detailed description of the administrative bodies of her realm. Not only are these elements typically found in both male and female commonplace books, but they also reveal her unique princely education shaped by both feminine and masculine rhetorical instruction. The same gendered duality that is present in her commonplace book is also detectable in her speeches. In fact, Elizabeth applied the same compositional techniques associated with her commonplace book in her speeches written for both her subjects and parliament.

  • Isaiah Xxi in the Light of Assyrian History
    NOTES AND STUDIES SOl ISAIAH XXI IN THE LIGHT OF ASSYRIAN HISTORY. I Verses I-Io. THE Burden of the Wilderness of the Sea has long possessed a strong .attraction for students of prophecy because of what appeared to the older commentators the undoubted fulfilment of the predictions con­ tained in it. The LXX by their rendering of verse 2-'E71"' lp.o~ o~ 'EAaJLEtTat, Ka~ ot 7rpiu{3Ets Twv IIEpuwv E71"• lJL'£ tpxovmt 1-brought the ·subject-matter of this prophecy down to the Persian era, and so prepared the way for the well-known traditional interpretation, which prevailed from the days of Jerome to within about a generation of the present time. According to this view of the passage, Isaiah xxi I-Io is a prophecy of the taking of Babylon by Cyrus; Media and Elam in verse 2 stand for the Medes and Persians, and the disturbed banquet in verse 5 is the counterpart of Belshazzar's feast and of that festival carousal of the Babylonians on the night of the capture of their city as related in the pages of Xenophon. So admirably did all seem to fit in, that for a long time everybody was satisfied. To such an interpreta­ tion, however, modern criticism has offered some strong objections. Assuming the prophecy to be the work of Isaiah, or at least to belong to the Isaianic age, it is difficult, as Dr Driver observes, 2 to see what ' intelligible purpose could be subserved by the prophet announcing to the generation of Hezekiah an occurrence lying in the distant future and having no bearing on contemporary interests'; while at the same time the traditional view altogether fails to account for the alarm and aversion with which the prophet contemplates the fall of the great oppressing city.
