Dear Sir, In consequence of the favourable opinion expressed by you of the First Series of the Clockmaker an English Publisher was in- .-1 duced to reprint it in London ; and I am in- debted to that circumstance for an unexpected introduction, not only to the British public, but to that of the United States. The very flattering reception it met with in both coun- tries has given rise to the present volume, which, as it owes its origin to you, offers a suit- able opportunity of expressing the thanks of the Author for this and other subsequent acts of kindness. As a political work I cannot hope that you will approve of all the sentiments contained in it, for politics are peculiar ; and besides the I 3B788o \ J .

Whoever has condescended to read the First Series of the Clockmaker, or the Sayings and Doings of Mr. Samuel Slick, of Slickville, will recollect that our tour of Nova Scotia terminated at Windsor last autumn, in con- sequence of bad roads and bad weather, and that it was mutually agreed upon between us to resume it in the following spring. But, alas ! spring came not. They retain in this country the name of that delightful portion of the year, but it is " Vox et preterea nihil." The short space that intervenes between the dissolution of winter and the birth of summer deserves not the appellation. Vegetation is so rapid here, that the valleys are often clothed B THE CLOCKMAKER. with verdure before the snow has wholly dis- appeared from the forest. There is a strong similarity between the na- tive and his climate ; the one is without youth, and the other without spring, and both exhi- bit the effects of losing that preparatory sea- son. Cultivation is wanting. Neither the mind nor the soil is properly prepared. There is no time. The farmer is compelled to hurry through all his field operations as he best can, so as to commit his grain to the ground in time to insure a crop. Much is unavoidably omitted that ought to be done, and all is performed in a careless and slovenly manner. The same haste is observable in education, and is ettended with similar effects; a boy is hurried to school, from school to a profession, and from thence is sent forth into the world before his mind has been duly disciplined or properly cultivated. When I found Mr. Slick at Windsor, I ex- pressed my regret to him that we could not have met earlier in the season ; but really, said I, they appear to have no spring in this country. Well, I don't know, said he ; I never see'd it in that light afore; I was athinkin' H we might stump the whole universal world for climate.

Wisse Kelly Scott Johnson Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin Abstract The thesis represents the first complete academic biography of a Jewish clockmaker, warrior poet and Anarchist named Sholem Schwarzbard. Schwarzbard's experience was both typical and unique for a Jewish man of his era. It included four immigrations, two revolutions, numerous pogroms, a world war and, far less commonly, an assassination. The latter gained him fleeting international fame in 1926, when he killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in Paris in retribution for pogroms perpetrated during the Russian Civil War (1917-20). After a contentious trial, a French jury was sufficiently convinced both of Schwarzbard's sincerity as an avenger, and of Petliura's responsibility for the actions of his armies, to acquit him on all counts. Mostly forgotten by the rest of the world, the assassin has remained a divisive figure in Jewish-Ukrainian relations, leading to distorted and reductive descriptions his life.

  • Machines in the Garden
    2 Machines in the Garden Jessica Riskin What does it mean to be alive and conscious: an aware, thinking creature? Using lifelike machines to discuss animation and consciousness is a major cultural preoc- cupation of the early twenty-first century; but few realize that this practice stretches back to the middle of the seventeenth century, and that actual lifelike machines, which peopled the landscape of late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, shaped this philosophical tradition from its inception. By the early 1630s, when René Des- cartes argued that animals and humans, apart from their capacity to reason, were automata, European towns and villages were positively humming with mechanical vitality, and mechanical images of living creatures had been ubiquitous for several centuries. Descartes and other seventeenth-century mechanists were therefore able to invoke a plethora of animal- and human-like machines. These machines fell into two main categories: the great many devices to be found in churches and cathedrals, and the automatic hydraulic amusements on the grounds of palaces and wealthy estates. Neither category of contraptions signified, in the first instance, what machine metaphors for living creatures later came to signify: passivity, rigidity, regularity, constraint, rote behavior, soullessness. Rather, the machines that informed the emergence of the Early Modern notion of the human-machine held a strikingly unfamiliar array of cultural and philosophical implications, notably the ten- dencies to act unexpectedly, playfully, willfully, surprisingly, and responsively. Moreover, neither the idea nor the ubiquitous images of human-machinery ran counter to Christian practice or doctrine. Quite the contrary: not only did automata appear first and most commonly in churches and cathedrals, the idea as well as the technology of human-machinery was indigenously Catholic.

  • Tavernier, a Filmmaker in His Generation
    1 Lynn A. Higgins Dartmouth College Tavernier, A Filmmaker in his Generation Acclaimed by many as the leading French cinéaste of his generation, Bertrand Tavernier has made twenty feature films since 1973. Along with others such as Doillon, Eustache, and Téchiné, Tavernier established his reputation in the 1970s. An heir of the Nouvelle Vague, he is also an admirer and astute analyst of the French “Tradition de Qualité” that preceded it. He is younger than Godard and Truffaut, but older than Besson, Beineix and the “cinéma du look” as well as than Kurys and Akerman and the multitude of femmes cinéastes who emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. Although most critics assume (either approvingly or not) that he has “returned” to a pre-New Wave conception of filmmaking, I do not believe this to be the case. Tavernier belongs to a no-man’s land (and even more a no-woman’s land) between strong generations of filmmakers. It is not surprising that in his historical films, he is drawn to periods of aftermath and transition, moments characterized by the heady possibility of creating new worlds, but also by a dark cloud of existential doubt. Tavernier is also an outspoken public figure: his leadership has been felt in his native Lyon, where he helped create the Institut Lumière, and in Paris, where—in person and through his television documentaries— his voice can can be heard in debates over cultural issues as in the 1999 “affaire de la critique,” and social questions such as drugs and immigration. He was even interviewed by Le Monde about the United States’ impending invasion of Iraq.
