A/5" b.zsn*'] (Stl ^gJaJtl OXFORD : HORACE HART PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY ; PREFACE Ben Jonson is above all the realist. Comedies such as The Alchemist and Bartholomew Fair are transcripts in accurate detail of the daily life of London in the reign of James I. Jonson lived his life in the heart of the city, and knew it to the core hence the perfection of his local color. And this same local color, which renders Jonson's comedies of exceptional interest to the student of those times, is the greatest obstacle in the way of Jonson's popularity. Not the only one to be sure—his very high intel- lectual level is another—but still the main hindrance. Most difficult of all his plays in local color is The Alchemist, for alchemy and its professors no longer figure in the popular eye. If literature is the index of civilization—and I think it should be so treated—then it is the work of the editor to make that index accurately legible. To this end care has been taken to present the text exactly as Jonson left it. The atmosphere of the times, especially with regard to alchemy, has been sought after, and an effort has been made to bring that now forgotten belief into such light as shall make this satire upon it intelligible. The editor has had in mind chiefly the requirements of the scholar, but has added some fullness of detail iv Preface in the hope that the work might be equally intel- ligible to the non-professional student of literature. Specific details about the Text, Notes, and Glossary will be found at the beginnings of those divisions. I am under obligation to many friends and scholars for help of various kinds for which I can make no adequate acknowledgment. My thanks are especially due to Mr. Robert Hoe of New York for permission to collate his copy of the quarto ; to the following professors in Yale Univer- sity: Albert S. Cook for reading the proofs and for many helpful suggestions, William Lyon Phelps for the use of his copies of the folios of 1616 and 1640 and his collation of the British Museum copy of the quarto and for several notes, H. R. Lang for assistance with the Spanish phrases, and C. C. Torrey for aid with alchemical terms from the Arabic ; to Mr. Andrew Keogh of the Yale University Library for help with the bibliographical matter ; to Dr. H. Carrington Bolton of Washington for references ; and to Mr. H. B. Brougham for the preparation of the index.

Stephen Atkinson, 1619. 1 That part of the Southern Uplands, in the vicinity of the Leadhills and Wanlockhead lead-zinc mining district, was anciently the location of the "gold mynes in Scotland".

The degree of success of these early operations can be judged from the documentary evidence extant. The Treasurer's Accounts for the years 1538 to 1542, for example, relate that the gold mines, while under the management of John Mossman, produced 411 ozs of gold for a crown for the King and 35 ozs of gold for a crown for the Queen2• Much of the gold coinage of James V and Mary Queen of Scots was minted from gold from the district3• Bevis Bulmer, the Great Elizabethan mining expert4, is reputed to have employed 300 men at Leadhills and that in three summers' work obtained gold valued at £100 000 sterli~.

We examine their implications and we suggest that they provide a surprising new basis for Quantum Physics as well as some enlightenment concerning the whereabouts of Dark energy. Keywords Einstein, Absolute Measurements, Electromagnetic Energy, m = E/c2, Space Points, Dark Energy, M. S. El Naschie, Quantum Meteorites 1. Introduction Einstein’s name is affixed to stunning discoveries made in the field of theoretical physics in the early years of the twentieth century. Less known is the fact that, even as he worked then as a Technical assistant Third Class in the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, Einstein also made a genuine great invention (i.e. discovered a hidden treasury, as in archeology) which has remained unnoticed hitherto. We retrieve this invention in the present note and we examine what it entails. Three mysterious sentences that Einstein wrote at that time will help us in this endeavor.

Dressed in the black cloak and cap of a magician, the artist, with bulging eyes and open mouth, has witnessed this apparition while standing behind a table filled with books, some with alchemical notations, a variety of vessels, a snuffed-out candle, and a skull resting on hot coals. To emphasize the personal character of this dramatic image, Van Laer prominently signed this work on the musical score lying in the foreground, its lyrics warning that “the devil doesn’t jest.” Clearly, in his conjuring up a world of occult forces, the magician has unleashed realms far beyond his control, and he is about to suffer the consequences of his audacity.

  • New Urban Demands in Early Modern London
    Medical History, Supplement No. 11, 1991: 2940. NEW URBAN DEMANDS IN EARLY MODERN LONDON Rosemary Weinstein From 1550 onwards, London grew and changed enormously, with the attendant problems of disease and disorder. The combined impact of "rapid immigration, recurrent mortality crises and population growth applied critical pressures to the social and administrative structures" ofthe metropolis.' This paper gives an overview ofhow local authorities endeavoured to deal with problems of drainage, water supply, and street cleaning between 1500 and 1700. Despite London's growth in area and population, it continued to have two separate administrative centres-the Court of Common Council in the City, and from 1585 the Court of Burgesses at Westminster. Outside the City liberties and Westminster, the Middlesex Justices of the Peace (the royal representatives) were responsible, either collectively or as individuals, for law and order. This division led to conflict over public responsibilities. The City, for example, could not compel the Middlesex Justices to clear the Fleet River above Holborn Bridge ofthe filth which polluted the downstream City ward of Farringdon Without. No single authority ran hospitals and almshouses, organized street cleaning or policed streets in the new suburbs east and west of the City-Stepney, Soho, and St James's. "Many problems of drainage and flood prevention, safe building, welfare, fire prevention, medical care and education were outside the powers of the Justices of the Peace and the parish vestries to control. Various ad hoc bodies were set up to deal with these problems",2 as we shall see. The Corporation of London has a tradition extending back to the Middle Ages of care for the health ofthe citizens.

  • Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2
    Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education Randy Ojeda & Eduardo Roman Loyola University Chicago School of Law Education Law and Policy, 2013 Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2 Introduction Hip Hop and Education have been presented as oppositional spheres of influence in youth culture. Since its inception, Hip Hop has promoted values that conflict with the aim of the Public Education System. This division was created by the educational budget cuts which led to the rise of Hip Hop instrumentation and ethic. These budgetary cuts, along with the Hip Hop movement it birthed, enforced a culture of destabilization and anti-education in inner-city schools. However, these two spheres of influence can in fact overlap successfully to the benefit of educating urban youth. A possible solution to ending this ceiling of stagnation is using hip hop culture as a tool for education. While Hip Hop has created an urban youth culture of destabilization and anti-education, an embracing of hip hop by the educational system could lead to the development of social consciousness and critical skills both in and out of the classroom.
