Early Georgia Magazines Is a Job Well Done T1 EARLY GEORGIA irst published in 1944, this is a detailed survey of twenty-four o distinguished periodicals published in antebellum Georgia. Flanders shows that literary activity was generally confined to middle Georgia F CO MAGAZINES and often concentrated on themes of religion and morality, early American life, and European adventures. An extensive bibliography and three appendices give a comprehensive list of magazines published during the time, including dates, places of publication, and names of editors and publishers. More than nine hundred footnotes further elaborate on the analysis of backgrounds, local historical events, and information on contributors. "Indeed, it would be difficult to conjure up a query on Georgia's literary magazines that is not answered in Flanders's excellent study. Early Georgia Magazines is a job well done. For his accomplishment, Flanders deserves the admiration of all students of the Old South." South Atlantic Bulletin "Packed with details, lists of representative contents and distributors, and careful details of publication . the work is definitive in its field." American Literature "Has successfully captured much of the richness of human existence . [Flanders's] book becomes in part the story of Georgia life, with now a bit of humor and now pathos as one sees the thorny path trod by the early editors and contributors."

It is also my purpose to show the centers of literary activity in the state as indicated by the interest in the production of pe­ riodical literature. In this way we may be able to learn what was the contribution of Georgia magazines to literary culture in Georgia. My plan, first of all, is to discuss each literary periodical in detail as far as extant files permit. I have adopted the plan of dividing these publications into chronological periods, which are the result of chance rather than of any particular unity binding the members of a group together. One periodical seems to have been followed by others within the space of a few years, but all sank out of sight after a short existence. Then, after an interval of several years, the process was repeated, always with the same result. Since there appears to be little unity within any given group, no attempt has been made to draw any conclusions relative to the publications appearing in any period. Only general conclusions involving the entire list seem valid in the face of so many and so varied efforts to es­ tablish periodical literature in the state. In more than a score of instances, periodicals were published for which no files have been located. Sometimes the prospectus was issued for a mag­ azine which is never referred to thereafter as having appeared. In both instances the periodicals have been included in the introductory section to the group in which each belongs chron­ ologically. In only one important instance does a periodical Preface vii run beyond the assigned limit: the Countryman (Turnwold), in the "Third Period: 1859-65." But since it expired in the early part of 1866, its complete history does no violence to the title of this work. With one exception the history of a Georgia periodical stops, as far as this discussion is concerned, when it is removed from the state, for with the removal passes its sig­ nificance to Georgia cultural history. The Orion, this excep­ tion, survived removal only six months; hence its entire history is covered. In each case, however, the subsequent history of the magazine is sketched as far as it can be ascertained. The non-literary magazines of the state though not treated in this discussion, indicate, too, the interests of Georgians. During the period in question there were begun in the state ten agricultural, fifteen medical, and twenty-four religious magazines, besides others devoted to temperance, education, politics, business and industry, and Masonic interests. The religious periodicals were, in the main, the longest-lived, inas^ much as they had a constituency to support them upon whom the editor could depend, even in financial depressions. Ex­ amples of these are the Baptist Christian Index, begun in Philadelphia in 1821 and removed to Georgia in 1833, and the Methodist Wesleyan Christian Advocate, begun in 1837. Both these periodicals are still in existence. Another long-lived periodical is the current Southern Cultivator, an agricultural journal begun in 1843 and appearing variously in Augusta, Athens, and Atlanta. For readers who are interested in knowing what was being published in these other fields in Georgia, I have added an appendix containing a list of such publications. It has been extremely difficult to locate files of Georgia magazines. In some instances the only ones are in private possession. In some cases they are located in distant or out- of-the-way places, and photostats or microfilms had to be obtained. In finding and gaining access to many files I wish to express my great indebtedness to the late William Kenneth Boyd, of Duke University, who labored untiringly viii Preface to add to the Duke Library what is possibly the most valuable collection of Georgia periodicals before 1865. In some cases he has obtained the only files known to exist. Without his work, as well as his kind advice, great gaps would occur in this history of periodical literature. The identity of the countless number of authors who appended pseudonyms to their contributions to Georgia magazines presents a problem of superhuman proportions. I have succeeded in penetrating the disguises of some writers through diligent study, but most of them still remain a mys­ tery. In a discussion of each Georgia periodical I have in­ cluded a list of pseudonyms and initials (excluding single initials) used by contributors, and in Appendix G have in­ cluded the same pseudonyms as a possible aid to anyone interested in pursuing the subject further. In a discussion of Georgia literary periodicals it is necessary, perhaps, to define the term literary periodical. To include all types of periodicals in the state up to 1865 would make this volume several times as large as it now is, for more than twenty- five important publications in the fields of agriculture, medi­ cine, education, and religion would have to be included. In my use of the word periodical I exclude daily and weekly newspapers, gift books, annuals, official reports, and publica­ tions of societies. A literary periodical is here understood to mean any journal or magazine whose principal interest lies in literature, or which has a special department devoted to lit­ erature, with a special editor in charge. College publications, though referred to, are excluded from this discussion because their productions are academic exercises rather than well- defined attempts to develop periodical literature. In order to avoid the constant repetition of the word periodical, I often use the terms journal, work, and publication as synonyms. In footnotes referring to Georgia periodicals I depart from the usual method of giving the volume number, page or pages, and date in parentheses. Instead I give both volume number and issue number, followed by the date in parentheses. Page Preface ix numbers, if necessary, follow the date, always preceded by p. or pp. For periodicals running only a few months, simply the date of each issue is given. This departure from the usual method of reference is due to the fact that some libraries record files of magazines by the number of both volume and issue, while others record files only by dates. Such a departure facilitates the checking and identification of references. Need­ less to say, the usual method is followed with out-of-the-state periodicals. I wish to express my indebtedness to Prof. Clarence Gohdes, of Duke University, who aided in getting this project under way and who has given much sound advice since that time concerning methods of treating the subject; to Mr. J. P. Breedlove, of the Duke Library, for giving me valuable assist­ ance in procuring the loan of rare material from other li­ braries all over the United States; and to Prof. Ralph Belts Flanders, of New York University, for advice relating to the phase of the subject dealing with Southern history. My deep­ est appreciation goes to Prof. Jay B. Hubell, of Duke Uni­ versity, who has made many valuable suggestions while the work was in progress, and who has in numerous ways assisted in making this an exhaustive treatment of Georgia literary periodicals.

  • Voltaire's Conception of National and International Society
    Voltaire's Conception of National and International Society LilIy Lo Manto Faced with the crumbling of their beloved Greek city-states, during the 4th century before our era, the Stoics used reason to explain their uncertain future in the huge global polis of the Macedonian empire. Two thousand years later, the economic, political and social turmoil brewing in France would foster the emergence of the French Enlightenment. Championed by the philosophes, this period would also look to reason to guide national and international security. Indeed, eighteenth century France was a society in ferment. After the death of Louis XIV, in 1715, the succeeding kings, Louis XV and XVI, found themselves periodically confronted, primarily by the pariements, with an increasing rejection of the absolutist claims and ministerial policies of the throne. l Like his Stoic forefathers, Fran~ois Marie Arouet (1694-1778), otherwise known as "Voltaire", extolled the merits of reason and tolerance,2 believing that the world would be a better place if men only behaved rationally.3 His primary focus was peace; how to obtain, preserve and propagate it. In order to comprehend Voltaire's conception of world peace, this essay will analyze what he believed to be its foundations, namely: the rights and roles of individuals based on their social class, and the role of an ideal state which would foster domestic harmony. According to Voltaire, the key to obtaining international peace stemmed from the relationship between the individual and the State. The relationship between the individual and the state, outlined in the Social Contract, could only succeed if man maintained his role and exercised his rights while the state assured him of his fundamental liberties.

It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • KENTUCKY in AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I by JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND
    KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I BY JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS JOHN FILSON John Filson, the first Kentucky historian, was born at East Fallowfield, Pennsylvania, in 1747. He was educated at the academy of the Rev. Samuel Finley, at Nottingham, Maryland. Finley was afterwards president of Princeton University. John Filson looked askance at the Revolutionary War, and came out to Kentucky about 1783. In Lexington he conducted a school for a year, and spent his leisure hours in collecting data for a history of Kentucky. He interviewed Daniel Boone, Levi Todd, James Harrod, and many other Kentucky pioneers; and the information they gave him was united with his own observations, forming the material for his book. Filson did not remain in Kentucky much over a year for, in 1784, he went to Wilmington, Delaware, and persuaded James Adams, the town's chief printer, to issue his manuscript as The Discovery, Settlement, and Present State of Kentucke; and then he continued his journey to Philadelphia, where his map of the three original counties of Kentucky—Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln— was printed and dedicated to General Washington and the United States Congress. This Wilmington edition of Filson's history is far and away the most famous history of Kentucky ever published. Though it contained but 118 pages, one of the six extant copies recently fetched the fabulous sum of $1,250—the highest price ever paid for a Kentucky book. The little work was divided into two parts, the first part being devoted to the history of the country, and the second part was the first biography of Daniel Boone ever published.

Our focus is on the political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of Russia's historical development after 1682, particularly its imperial expansion and entry into European affairs. Students will examine themes of change and continuity over time and learn to differentiate between fact and interpretation in the analysis of Russian history. Topics will include the rise of the state of Muscovy and its evolution into an absolutist monarchy under the rule of “tsars” (the Russian word for “Caesar”); the Westernizing “revolution” of Peter the Great; the evolution of Russian serfdom and of Russia's social classes; Russia’s Orthodox Christian tradition; Russia's cultural awakening and subsequent contributions to world literature, art, music; the pursuit of empire (some have labeled this “self- colonization”); emancipation of the serfs; the rise of the intelligentsia and of radical revolutionary movements; economic modernization; and the role of individual rulers in promoting both reform and reaction in Russian history.

ROBINSON December 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Thomas W. Robinson All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation, which focuses on Georgia from 1848 until 1865, argues that a middle class formed in the state during the antebellum period. By the time secession occurred, the class coalesced around an ideology based upon modernization, industrialization, reform, occupation, politics, and northern influence. These factors led the doctors, lawyers, merchants, ministers, shopkeepers, and artisans who made up Georgia’s middle class to view themselves as different than Georgians above or below them on the economic scale. The feeling was often mutual, as the rich viewed the middle class as a threat due to their income and education level while the poor were envious of the middle class.

  • Thomas Holley Chivers (1809-1858)
    THOMAS HOLLEY CHIVERS (1809-1858). This article originally appeared in Southern Writers: A New Biographical Dictionary, 2006. Known today primarily for his association with Edgar Allan Poe. Thomas Holley Chivers published ten books of poetry, drama, and expository prose, all at his own expense. The son of Colonel Robert Chivers, a cotton planter, Chivers was born near Washington. Ga., on October 18, 1809. In 1827 he married a first cousin, Elizabeth Chivers, who left him within a year. After earning a medical degree from Transylvania University in 1830, he briefly practiced medicine near Oaky Grove, the family plantation. In 1832 he published a collection of eighteen poems called The Path of Sorrow. Two years later, he published Conrad and Eudora, a play based on the Kentucky Tragedy, a well-known murder that also inspired Poe's Politian. In 1837 another poetry collection, Nacoochee, followed. After his marriage to a Massachusetts woman, Harriett Hunt, in 1837, Chivers lived in Connecticut and New York between 1838 and 1842. Between 1842 and 1844, he lost four children. The loss of his three-year-old daughter Allegra Florence was particularly devastating and inspired poems in his 1845 collection The Lost Pleiad. After a return to Georgia in 1845, he published the prose exposition Search After Truth in 1848. Between 1850 and 1852, Chivers again lived in New York and Connecticut, writing "Letters from the North" for the Georgia Citizen and publishing the poetry collection Eonchs of Ruby in 1851. In 1853, while living in Boston, he published a narrative poem called Atlanta; or, The True Blessed Isle of Poesy and the poetry collection Virginalia.
