To De Congressu quaerendae Erudi- tionis gratia 577 PREFACE TO VOLUME IV As was stated in the Preface to the last volume, Mr. Whitaker's versions of the treatises he had agreed to take in this volume and the fifth were in existence at his death. As it happens, however, his part in this volume was confined to one treatise of the four, viz. the De Migration*. This had reached the typescript stage, and just before his death I had sent him some corrections or suggestions which he had accepted. Since then, however, I have made a good many further alterations in that treatise. On the De Con- fusione he had sent me only a few suggestions, and my versions of the other two treatises he had not seen at all. Altogether I feel that, for good or for ill, I must take the final responsibility for this volume, and I have therefore ceased to use such phrases as " The Translators think " and used the first person singular instead. That the work has suffered by his absence, and that there are sure to be many things which I should have altered or modi­ fied if I had had his advice, need hardly be said. A misunderstanding shewn by a reviewer makes me think that it would be well to say something about the textual notes. My own view has always been that, while it would be beyond the scope of a work of this kind to indicate the variants in the MSS., places in which the text printed has no MS. authority should be recorded. Mr. Whitaker did not altogether vii PREFACE agree with me, and consequently in the first two volumes there was no consistent attempt to give this information, though the reproduction of the angular and square brackets did indicate insertions and omissions in the text. In the third volume and this, however, I have made it a rule to note all cases (except such as are merely orthographical) where the text printed is purely conjectural, however certain the conjectures may be.a Further, it is to be understood that, unless it is stated otherwise, the text printed is that of Wendland. It does not follow, however, that any particular emendation of the text is due to Wendland, as I have not thought it neces­ sary to distinguish between his emendations and those of Mangey, Markland and Turnebus, so long as he himself has adopted them. I also note all cases where I have not followed Wendland's text, and, where the emendation is our own, have stated the fact. Of these last there are not many. But there are a good many more noted in footnotes or appendix where I feel fairly confident that the reading we have suggested is right, but have not that degree of certitude which would justify my printing it in the text itself. As to Wendland's corrections, while I accept without question the facts of his apparatus criticus, I do not, as the work progresses, feel the same confidence in his judgement. He does not seem to me to consider sufficiently how the text which he adopts came to be corrupted to the form which it has in the MSS. On the whole, however, the principle laid down in the preface of the first volume, that where hesitation does not amount to conviction the β Omissions and insertions are of course not noted in the footnotes, as the brackets speak for themselves. viii PREFACE text of this standard edition should be preserved, has been followed in this volume with modification. A mild regret has also been expressed that no account of the MSS. has been given. It is perhaps a pity that this was not attempted in the General Introduction. In apology it may be said that, leav­ ing out of consideration excerpts and quotations, which form a considerable part of the evidence for the text, the MSS. used by Cohn and Wendland, few of which are earlier than the thirteenth century and none earlier than the eleventh or tenth, amount to more than twenty in the six volumes and vary greatly with the different treatises ; and that Cohn has declared at the end of his survey that no single MS. or family of MSS. stands out in such a way that anything more than an eclectic recension of Philo's text is possible.α I cannot conclude without again expressing the greatness of the debt I owe to Leisegang's index. True, there are a good many words absent, on which one would be glad to be able to investigate Philo's usage, and of the words dealt with I have sometimes found examples omitted, so that one has to be cautious in drawing negative conclusions from it. Still, on the whole, it is an admirable piece of work, and not only the present translator but all future editors of Philo will have in their hands an instrument which Mangey and Wendland would have given much to possess. „ „ n r. xi.

Philo begins by stating the objections which the sceptical critics had brought against the story. They had said that the project of building a tower to reach heaven was really the same as the Homeric myth of the Aloeidae (2-4), and had pointed out the absurdity of the idea (5). Secondly they had said that the story of the confusion of tongues was much the same as the fable that all animals originally understood each other's language and lost the privilege by pre­ sumption (6-8), and though the story in Genesis was a little more rational, still the idea that the multipli­ cation of languages would serve to prevent co-opera­ tion in sin was absurd (9-13). Philo will leave the literalists to answer these criticisms as they can. His own answer is to give an allegorical interpreta­ tion of the whole story (14-15). By " one lip and one voice " Moses is indicating a " symphony " of evils, which is seen not only in the multitude, but in the individual (16), where it some­ times takes the form of the external calamities of fortune (16-20), but still more in the passions which beset the soul (21-22), of which the deluge story is an allegory (23-25), as also the alliance against Abraham (26), and the attack of the whole people of Sodom upon the angel visitors (27-28).

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

It is generally accepted by social historians and sociologists that the beginnings of the erosion of the American family as a tightly-knit unit exerting consider­ able influence on the mores of society began with the 1870s. Parallel with this working hypothesis is the supporting literary evidence in the American novel. With the excep­ tion of the sentimental and sensational novels prior to Realism, the American novel generally did not center around a family situation or around American social behavior.

  • Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872
    Enemies of the State: Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Tyler Foulds, M. A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Randolph A. Roth, Advisor Dr. Alan Gallay Dr. John Brooke Copyright by Matthew Tyler Foulds 2012 Abstract Situated on the contested border between the North and South, western Virginia is an ideal case for analyzing how ministerial leaders inspired disaffected citizens. Western Virginians, relegated to the fringe of a state political structure dominated by eastern Virginia‘s slaveholding oligarchy, believed that their political system had failed them. They felt powerless to institute the political and economic reforms necessary to develop their region in the image of free-soil Ohio and Pennsylvania. Unable to seek redress through their political leaders, westerners turned to the traveling ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) to voice their discontent. MEC ministers actively defended western interests and cloaked them in a moral legitimacy that broadened their appeal to previously apathetic, isolated residents. Their ministry drew a fierce response from their opponent, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). The MEC repelled these attacks and by 1861 far outpaced the MECS in members and political influence and boasted a following larger than any political party in the region. When conservative political leaders abandoned their offices and embraced the Confederacy upon the outbreak of the Civil War, MEC itinerants filled the void in political leadership, held western Virginia in the Union, and championed its statehood.

After the violent break brought about by National Socialism and World War II, this tradition has recently come to life again, and indeed to such an extent that contemporary German social thought has begun to approach the heights earlier attained. One important element in this renaissance has been the rapid and extensive translation into German of English-language works in the humanities and the social sciences, with the result that social thought in Germany is today markedly influenced by ideas and approaches of Anglo-American origin.

Since Louisa May Alcott's writings have not been previously examined with reference to their educational implications, this study investigates a hitherto unexplored facet of her contribution to American letters and education. Preface Chapter I: NEW ENGLAND TRANSCENDENTALISM. The .first chapter defines New England Transcenden­ talism and embodies it through presentation of the lives of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Amos Bronson Alcott. Emerson's, Thoreau's, and Alcott's repre­ sentative expressions of Transcendentalism's theology and philosophy, nature mysticism and social criticism, and edu­ cational theory and practice are to be taken as back­ ground for the succeeding chapters of t~is study.
