<p><strong>Of all the attempts throughout history to geographically locate the Garden of Eden one of the most compelling was that set out by minister and president of Boston University, William F. Warren.  Brook Wilensky-Lanford looks at the ideas of the man who, in his book <em>Paradise Found</em>, proposed the home of all humanity to be at the North Pole.</strong></p>

Warren.</p></div>

<p>The quest to find the Garden of Eden sounds like an occupation that should have fallen by the wayside well before the nineteenth century. No longer did the fanciful medieval geographies of Prester John, or Columbus, allow for the existence of an exotic, unspoiled earthly paradise. This was a newer, wiser age. We had conquered the wild regions of the world. And Darwin’s <em>Origin of Species</em>, published in 1859, was slowly proving that man and, say, the birds of the air, were not created all at once in a single spot on the globe.</p>

<p>Darwin himself dismissed the search for a geographical point of origins in his 1871 <em>Descent of Man</em>. He allowed that: “It is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere.” But, he declared, there was also a large ape that roamed Europe not so long ago, and anyway the earth is old enough for primate species to have migrated all the way around it by now. So, “It is useless to speculate on this subject.”</p>

<p>Victoria Woodhull, feminist radical and free-love advocate, was less diplomatic in her epic speech “<a href="http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RKENcedGqhUC&#038;lpg=PP8&#038;ots=Z7QHz-uStb&#038;dq=The%20Garden%20of%20Eden%3A%20The%20Allegorical%20Meaning%20Revealed&#038;pg=PP8#v=onepage&#038;q&#038;f=false" target="_blank">The Garden of Eden</a>,” which she delivered frequently in the 1870s. Eden on Earth was nonsense: “Any school boy of twelve years of age who should read the description of this garden and not discover that it has no geographical significance whatever, ought to be reprimanded for his stupidity.” (Perhaps she was referring to the missionary-explorer David Livingstone, <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17024/17024-h/17024-h.htm" target="_blank">who had declared</a>, while mad with malaria in 1871, that paradise existed at the source of the Nile, which he judged to be in the Lake Bangweulu region of Zambia.)</p>

<p>Livingstone was not the only one still looking for Eden. This brave new world was turning time-honored beliefs upside down. Evolution was suggesting that man had ascended over time from our less-intelligent, animalistic primate origins. But Christianity had been insisting for centuries that man had descended, through original sin, from near-divine heights in the Garden of Eden to the miserable, depraved society of the late nineteenth century. What was a modern, faithful person to believe? Enter William Fairfield Warren, distinguished Methodist minister and educator. As the president of Boston University, he knew science was going to define the future. But he was unwilling to give up his theology to the new discipline. How to knit the two perspectives together?</p>

<p>Counter-intuitively, Warren looked to Eden. He set about translating the Bible into science: Eden was “the one spot on earth where the biological conditions are the most favorable.” Genesis says Eden contains “every tree that is pleasant to the eye or good for food”; Warren posited “flora and fauna of almost unimagined vigor and luxuriousness.” He took note of a newly discovered fact: millions of years ago, the earth had been much warmer. He followed the uncovering of fantastic creatures at once familiar and mythical, like the woolly mammoth, the dinosaur, and the giant sequoia. He knew there was still one blank spot on the world map, a place where nobody had been. And he arrived at the inevitable conclusion: The Garden of Eden is at the North Pole. It made sense, in a way. Both Eden and the Pole had frustratingly resisted attempts to discover and claim them, despite centuries of dangerous, expensive expeditions.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><img alt="" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8037/7900820566_a79d21103f_o.jpg" width="540" height="716" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Illustration from <em>Paradise Found</em> (1885), by William F. Warren.</p></div>

<p>Warren published this theory in 1881 as <em>Paradise Found, The Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole</em>. The tome positively reeked with academic authority. There were long passages in French, German, and ancient Greek in the footnotes. He drew on his specialty, comparative mythology, which he described as “the science of the oldest traditional beliefs and memories of mankind.” He knew the great epic folklore of the Hindus, the Celts, the Chinese, the Persians. In the nineteenth century, this was a rare, esoteric body of knowledge, full of metaphorical echoes of Bible stories, objective “evidence” of Christian facts. The index of “authors referred to or quoted” in <em>Paradise Found</em> lists 580 sources — for 495 pages of text. Right next to Darwin there’s Ignatius Donnelly, who claimed that the lost continent of Atlantis was real; it was destroyed by the near-collision of the earth with a comet. His 1882 book <a href="http://archive.org/stream/atlantisantedilu00donnuoft#page/n9/mode/2up" target="_blank"><em>Atlantis</em></a> was wildly popular. (Donnelly had another theory — that Shakespeare’s plays might actually be written by Francis Bacon — but at the time that was considered too ridiculous to be taken seriously.) Some reviewers felt that Warren’s wanton citation did his argument no favors, but apparently many readers weren’t bothered.</p>

<p>The second printing of <em>Paradise Found</em>, released only months after the first, was peppered with testimonials. Warren wrote proudly of a “plain unschooled Bible student,” Mr. Alexander Skelton, a machinist and blacksmith of Paterson, New Jersey, who had independently arrived at his own “remarkably comprehensive and cogent” argument for a North Pole Eden. Warren bragged that one Professor Heer, a haughty Swiss paleontologist, claimed that Warren was plagiarizing him. He also published a testimonial from the British archaeologist, and faithful Anglican, Archibald Henry Sayce: “Provisionally, I may say that your view seems to me eminently reasonable…” (No matter that Sayce was actually referring to an earlier work of Warren’s, about the cosmology of Homer’s <em>Iliad</em>.) Warren’s theory was “rapidly superseding every earlier hypothesis” on both sides of the Atlantic— even if Warren did say so himself.</p>

<p>So it was a matter of confounding frustration for him that other Eden theories continued to appear. A German archaeologist, Moritz Engel of Leipzig, had the gall to publish <a href="http://archive.org/stream/dielsungderpara00engegoog#page/n4/mode/2up" target="_blank"><em>The Solution To the Paradise Question</em></a> simultaneously with <em>Paradise Found</em>. Engel’s Eden was an oasis in the desert outside of Damascus. His four rivers were flood torrents that disappear in the dry season, come May or June. Warren fought back: Engel’s Eden was ugly. It was as if Mr. Engel had never even read Genesis, with its picture of abundance and plenty! It was also narrow-minded, as if he never even noticed that there were “myths of the Happy Garden” found in dozens of other ancient traditions! Worst of all, Engel’s Eden was unscientific, making no effort to incorporate “the facts and theories of ethnologists and zoologists as to the beginnings of human life…. The time for studies of such narrowness as this is past.”</p>

<p>Warren’s insistence that the North Pole Eden was the overriding, authoritative account was sincere. But it may have been a little naïve, given the secret that Warren himself revealed on the very last page of his book: he didn’t actually think his paradise could be found. He writes, mournfully: “Long-lost Eden is found, but its gates are barred against us. Now, as at the beginning of our exile, a sword turns every way to keep the Way of the Tree of Life…” Arriving at Polar Eden, we could do nothing “but hurriedly kneel amid a frozen desolation and, dumb with a nameless awe, let fall a few hot tears above the buried and desolated hearthstone of Humanity’s earliest and loveliest home.” The only way to get back to Eden was in death, if we accept the sacrifice of Christ. Follow Jesus in life, and in death you can walk right past the cherubim with their flaming swords.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><img alt="" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8298/7900820950_43554f6938_o.jpg" width="540" height="807" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Frontispiece from <em>Paradise Found</em> (1885), by William F. Warren.</p></div>

<p>And just like that, despite his best efforts to be the last word on Eden, Warren had inadvertently opened the door for a whole new generation of Eden-seekers. They began to pop up almost immediately, and many even cited Warren as authoritative evidence for their own claims, just as Warren had done with his 580 sources.</p>

<p>It started with Warren’s own colleagues in the Methodist church. Reverend E. D. Ledyard <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FA0A15FE385F15738DDDAA0994D0405B8384F0D3" target="_blank">announced</a> to an audience of 5,000 at a retreat in upstate New York that Eden was rather closer to home. “In Chautauqua we see one place where Edenic privileges have been restored. Christ is the central figure here. Through the second Adam paradise is being regained.”</p>

<p>In 1890, a three-part editorial in the San Jose, California evening paper entitled &#8220;<a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gS8iAAAAIBAJ&#038;sjid=8aMFAAAAIBAJ&#038;pg=1203%2C5746118" target="_blank">Garden of Eden: Its Position on the Globe Has Been Definitely Located</a>&#8221; explained that California’s Santa Clara Valley had all the characteristics of an Eden—pristine state, perfect climate, and the giant sequoia. If Warren was so enthused about the sequoia, the writer notes, why didn’t he choose California? “In coming so near the truth it seems strange that the able scientific writer did not receive the true light as to the location of the original home of man.”</p>

<p>Warren can’t have been happy to find his work praised by Wyoming novelist Willis George Emerson, in the preface to his 1908 science fiction novel <a href="http://archive.org/stream/smokygodorvoyage00emer#page/n7/mode/2up" target="_blank"><em>The Smoky God</em></a>. The book claimed to be the true account of a Norwegian fisherman who in 1829 had fallen through a hole at the North Pole into the interior of the Hollow Earth — where the Garden of Eden is reachable by monorail. “In his carefully prepared volume, Mr. Warren almost stubbed his toe against the real truth, but missed it seemingly by only a hair’s breadth.”</p>

<p>Dr. George C. Allen, a Boston University philologist, took his colleague Warren’s word for it that Eden was at the North Pole. But he made one important modification. In 1921, he <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F40B10F63B5B11728DDDA80B94D9405B818EF1D3" target="_blank">claimed</a> that the North Pole moves entirely around the world every 25,000 years, so “careful mathematical computations bring the original paradise where Ohio now is.”</p>

<p>Warren himself, who died in 1929 at the age of 96, remained utterly, evangelically convinced of his original theory’s veracity. The North Pole Eden “has shown itself the supreme and inevitable generalization from all the facts of modern knowledge respecting man and the world. It has harmonized the oldest traditions of religion and the latest achievements of science…”</p>

<p>But a dead Eden and the promise of a more perfect afterlife did not satisfy the same kind of itch for a living paradise — an itch that had turned out to be peculiarly modern after all. Invisible paradise after death was too remote to be believed. And so a surprising number of twentieth-century thinkers continued to try to bring Eden down to earth. Reverend Landon West, an Anabaptist minister in Ohio, insisted in 1901 that the giant earthwork known as the Serpent Mound, outside Chillicothe, marked the site of man’s first transgression. Hong Kong Christian revolutionary Tse Tsan Tai believed that placing Eden in Outer Mongolia could help bring about an end to World War I. Libertarian lawyer Elvy Edison Callaway used numerology to prove that God had made man in the Florida Panhandle; in 1956 he opened a park for all to visit. And like William Warren, each of these seekers were working to synthesize their time-honored religious beliefs with the requirements of modern science. That’s a quest that continues to this day.</p>

<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">The Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale; 1535; Merten de Keyser, Antwerp.</span>

<br />
<br />
The Coverdale Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale and published in 1535, was the first complete Modern English translation of the Bible (not just the Old Testament or New Testament), and the first complete printed translation into English. The later editions (folio and quarto) published in 1539 were the first complete Bibles printed in England. The place of publication of the 1535 edition was long disputed. The printer was assumed to be either Froschover in Zurich or Cervicornus and Soter (in Cologne or Marburg). In 1997 the printer was identified as Merten de Keyser in Antwerp. The publication was partly financed by Jacobus van Meteren in Antwerp, whose sister-in-law, Adriana de Weyden, married John Rogers. The other backer of was Jacobus van Meteren’s nephew, Leonard Ortels (†1539), father of Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598), the famous humanist geographer and cartographer. Although Coverdale was also involved in the preparation of the Great Bible of 1539, the Coverdale Bible continued to be reprinted. The last of over 20 editions of the whole Bible or its New Testament appeared in 1553. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverdale_Bible" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)

title: The Hyginus Star Atlas (1482)

Hyginus&#8217; <em>Poeticon Astronomicon</em> is a star atlas and book of stories whose text is attributed to &#8220;Hyginus&#8221;, though the true authorship is disputed. During the Renaissance, the work was attributed to the Roman historian Gaius Julius Hyginus who lived during the 1st century BC, however, the fact that the book lists most of the constellations north of the ecliptic in the same order as Ptolemy&#8217;s Almagest (written in the 2nd century AD) has led many to believe that the text was created by a more recent Hyginus. The text describes 47 of the 48 Ptolemaic constellations, centering primarily on the Greek and Roman mythology surrounding the constellations, though there is some discussion of the relative positions of stars. The first known printing was in 1475, attributed to &#8220;Ferrara&#8221;, though it was not formally published until 1482, by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice, Italy. This edition carried the full title <em>Clarissimi uiri Hyginii Poeticon astronomicon opus utilissimum</em>. Ratdolt commissioned a series of woodcuts depicting the constellations to accompany Hyginus&#8217; text. As with many other star atlases that would follow it, the positions of various stars are indicated overlaid on the image of each constellation.. however, the relative positions of the stars in the woodcuts bear little resemblance to the descriptions given by Hyginus in the text or the actual positions of the stars in the sky. As a result of the inaccuracy of the depicted star positions and the fact that the constellations are not shown with any context, the <em>Poeticon astronomicon</em> is not particularly useful as a guide to the night sky. The illustrations commissioned by Ratdolt did, however, serve as a template for future sky atlas renderings of the constellation figures.

<br />
The very first Tarzan film ever made, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs&#8217; original novel <em>Tarzan of the Apes</em> of only 4 years earlier. The film is directed by Scott Sidney and stars Elmo Lincoln, Enid Markey, George B. French and Gordon Griffith. It is considered the most faithful to the novel of all the film adaptations, though only tells the first part of the novel, the remainder becoming the basis for the sequel, <em>The Romance of Tarzan</em> (also from 1918 but directed by Wilfred Lucas).<br />

<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Curiosities of Puritan nomenclature, by Charles W. Bardsley; 1888; Chatto and Windus, London.</span>

<br />
<br />
A fascinating look at some of the more bizarre names given to children during the 17th century in England. Among the names explored are &#8220;From-above&#8221;, &#8220;Free-gift&#8221; &#038; &#8220;More-fruit&#8221; for unexpected additions to families; &#8220;Humiliation&#8221;, &#8220;Abstinence&#8221; &#038; &#8220;Sorry-for-sin&#8221; to express those qualities considered to be virtues; and just the plain brilliant/weird/mean, such as, &#8220;Job-rakt-out-of-the-asshes&#8221; and &#8220;Dancell-Dallphebo-Marke-Antony-Dallery-Galleiy-Caesar&#8221;.

<p><strong>Heather Tweed explores the story of the woman whose obsessive penchant for the lawsuit struck fear into the magistrates and cabmen of Victorian London alike.</strong></p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><img alt="" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8040/8002476932_0795e8e4b5_o.jpg" width="540" height="387" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cartoon from <em>Punch</em> magazine, March 6th 1875, pp.106: (<a href="http://archive.org/stream/punch68a69lemouoft#page/106/mode/1up" target="_blank">Source</a>)</p></div>

<p>Imagine, if you will, strolling towards a Hackney cabstand in late 19th century London. Suddenly the cry &#8216;Mother Prodgers!&#8217; echoes around the streets. The cab drivers scarper, leaving the stand empty but for a seemingly innocuous, overdressed woman: Mrs Caroline Giacometti Prodgers, nemesis of cabmen, zealous litigant and infamous music hall conversation topic.</p>

<p>Over the course of two decades she was to lead a one woman campaign against the notorioulsy truculent cabmen of London. She took to court the publisher of a major newspaper and even her own cook. Her stubbornness was caricatured in print and sung about in music halls. One desperate cab driver went so far as to burn her effigy on bonfire night.</p>

<p>Her first taste of life in the courts came in 1871, when she began proceedings to divorce her husband of ten years, an Austrian naval captain called Giovanni Battista Giacometti. The case set a precedent for divorces in which the wife was wealthier than the husband (the Prodgers family found itself with a considerable fortune through her mother, a wealthy heiress whom her father, the Reverand Prodgers, had married after rescuing her from drowning). The details of Giacometti v Prodgers would regularly make the papers, including such oddities as Mrs Prodgers questioning the legitimacy of her own children, presumably in an attempt to try and disinherit Giovanni from her family fortune. Following the actual divorce there were other legal wranglings. It was reported that her husband Giovanni had given up his whole career at Mrs Prodgers&#8217; request and that, after the divorce, he had taken her to court over non payment of a yearly settlement. The Prodgers family, taking his side, agreed on an additional several hundred pounds per year. Mrs Prodgers found herself again in court after failing to pay a shorthand writer she had, debatably, hired during the divorce proceedings.</p>

<p>It was soon after the divorce and its various spin off cases that Mrs Prodgers began her infamous crusade against London cab drivers. Her modus operandi was to catch a cab to a specific destination to which she knew the exact distance (she had familiarised herself with the cost charts), then ask the cabman to stop just at the point where the fare would change. Invariably the cabman would attempt to charge her for the next part of the fare, which she would dispute. One or other party would then threaten a lawsuit and she would continue to goad the often irate cabman into verbal abuse and swearing whereupon she’d immediately threaten another writ.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 550px"><img alt="" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8448/8000657805_5f0a1366aa_o.jpg" width="540" height="604" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Chart of cab fares by distance from Waterloo Station: (<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gTqItxCd5FQ/TxyMv5vcabI/AAAAAAAAA50/a24AW9ABJPE/s1600/Fare.jpg" target="_blank">Source</a>)</p></div>

<p>She was remarkably successful and ended up bringing over 50 cases to court &#8211; many of which descended into farce. Reports on the various cases are packed with amusing incidents. There is extended banter over the use of her full name (which she always insisted upon). One judge suggests that it might be cheaper for her to purchase a carriage than keep returning to court.</p>

<p>In addition to cab related litigations she was involved in a string of court cases regarding other matters. She sued her dismissed cook for refusing to leave her house (and continuing ‘to sing about the place’). She sued a newspaper publisher for accidentally tearing her dress during an altercation after she refused to pay the full penny for a paper (which she thought she might be mentioned in). She sued a watchmaker for returning the wrong watch to her house. Her obsessive and sometimes bizarre activity in the courts did not go unnoticed.</p>

<p>In 1875 she had the dubious honour of having an effigy of her burnt on bonfire night, a &#8216;gigantic figure&#8217; paraded around on a cab. The police intervened and arrested the cab driver &#8211; rather bizarrely on the charge of &#8216;begging&#8217; (the accounts don&#8217;t report if Mrs Prodgers had any influence over the arrest). The judge dismissed the case saying that the cabbie was &#8216;acting as a showman for the amusement of the public&#8217; and that it was merely meant as a joke.</p>

<p>Mrs Giacometti Prodgers appeared several times in <em>Punch</em> magazine. A satirical piece in 1890, the year of her death, coincided with controversial plans to fit each Hackney cab with a mechanical device to measure distances and calculate the cost of each journey:</p>

<blockquote>A Autumn-attic happaratus<br />
For measuring off our blooming fares!<br />
Oh, hang it all! They slang and slate us;<br />
They say we crawls, and cheats, and swears.<br />
And we surwives the sneering slaters,<br />
Wot tries our games to circumvent,<br />
But treating us like Try-yer-weighters,<br />
Or chockerlate, or stamps, or scent!<br />
Upon my soul the stingy dodgers<br />
Did ought to be shut up. They&#8217;re wuss<br />
Than Mrs. JACKERMETTY PRODGERS,<br />
Who earned the &#8216;onest Cabman&#8217;s cuss.<br />
It&#8217;s sickening! Ah, I tell yer wot, Sir,<br />
Next they&#8217;ll stick hup―oh, you may smile―<br />
This:―&#8221;Drop a shilling in the slot. Sir,<br />
And the Cab goes for just two mile!&#8221;<br />
Beastly! I ain&#8217;t no blessed babby,<br />
Thus to be measured off like tape.<br />
Yah! Make a autumn-attic Cabby,<br />
With clock-work whip and a tin cape.<br />
May as well, while you&#8217;re on the job, Sir.<br />
And then―may rust upset yer works!<br />
The poor man of his beer they&#8217;d rob, Sir,<br />
Who&#8217;d rob poor Cabby of his perks!</blockquote>

<p>Such was her notoriety that the reverse of her name, Sregdorpittemmocaig, was used for a character in <em>The Sunless City</em>, a novel by J.E. Preston and <em>Punch</em> punnily suggested that she had penned her own book after the Hansom cab: &#8216;Hansom Is As Hansom Does&#8217;. She also made it onto the pantomime circuit when comedian Herbert Campbell performed a verse about her:</p>

<blockquote>&#8216;All great men have their statues and it&#8217;s but their due,<br />
But I wonder why the ladies don&#8217;t have them too;<br />
If they did, to the Academy I&#8217;d like to send,<br />
A bust of Mrs Prodgers the Cabman&#8217;s friend.<br />
Of all the strong-minded females she&#8217;s the worst I ever saw,<br />
Oh, wouldn&#8217;t she be lovely as a mother-in-law?<br />
At the corner of every cab-rank her flag should be unfurled<br />
As a horrible example to this wicked world.&#8217;</blockquote>

<p>The press painted a picture of a formidable if eccentric woman who should be avoided at all costs if one did not wish to encounter her wrath. One might speculate that a certain amount of misogyny and sexism fuelled by the women&#8217;s suffrage movement may have played its part in the press coverage and urban mythology. Had she been a man might she have been hailed as a champion of consumer rights, rather than dismissed as a caricature?</p>

<p>One person who seemed to take her seriously was the explorer and Victorian polymath Sir Richard Burton, who entertained her in his house, and reportedly supported her campaign. According to Burton’s biographer Thomas Wright two of Burton’s cousins had a running family joke about the relationship between Mrs Giacometti Prodgers and Sir Richard:</p>

<blockquote>At the (Athenæum) club he was never at home to anybody except a certain Mrs. Giacometti Prodgers&#8230; according to rumour, there was a flavour of romance about her marriage. It was said that while the laws of certain countries regarded her as married, those of other countries insisted that she was still single. However, married or not, she concentrated all her spleen on cab-drivers,&#8230;and having a profound respect for Burton&#8217;s judgment, she often went to him about these cab disputes, and, oddly enough, though nobody else could get at him, he was always at the service of Mrs. Prodgers, and good-naturedly gave her the benefit of his wisdom. To the London magistrates the good lady was a perpetual terror, and Frederick Burton, a diligent newspaper reader, took a pleasure in following her experiences. &#8220;St. George,&#8221; he would call across the breakfast table, &#8220;Mrs. Giacometti Prodgers again: She&#8217;s had another cab-man up&#8221;.</blockquote>

<p>Sadly first hand anecdotal evidence does nothing to alleviate the true awfulness of her character. She appears to have been as rude to fellow members of the public as she was to porters and cab drivers. Upon being offered a cup of tea by another passenger on a ship she was travelling on, she allegedly replied “I have only had afternoon tea once in my life, and that was with the Duke of Sutherland&#8221;. Her arrival in various ports around the world was often reported upon in the local press &#8211; followed by a sigh of relief when she departed. Unfortunately one has the impression the same might be said about her departure from life in 1890. Her obituary as reported in foreign papers was blunt and concise:</p>

<blockquote>Mrs. Giacometti Prodgers, the terror of London cabmen, is dead. Her habit was to drive the fullest possible distance for the money, pay the exact legal fare, and then cause the arrest of the cabman for expressing his feelings.</blockquote>

<br />
Albert Schweitzer was a German (writing in French also) theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary. As well as his important theological work (he depicted Jesus as literally believing the end of the world was coming in his own lifetime), he developed various theories on music, in particular the work of J.S. Bach. He explained figures and motifs in Bach&#8217;s Chorale Preludes as painter-like tonal and rhythmic imagery illustrating themes from the words of the hymns on which they were based. They were works of devotional contemplation in which the musical design corresponded to literary ideas, conceived visually. Schweitzer&#8217;s interpretative approach greatly influenced the modern understanding of Bach&#8217;s music. His pamphlet &#8220;The Art of Organ Building and Organ Playing in Germany and France&#8221; (1906) effectively launched the 20th century <em>Orgelbewegung</em>, which turned away from romantic extremes and rediscovered baroque principles. In addition to his contribution to music theory, Schweiter also made many seminal recordings of Bach&#8217;s organ recitals. In mid-December 1935 he began to record for Columbia Records on the organ of All Hallows, Barking-by-the-Tower, in London &#8211; the recordings above. He developed a particular technique for recording the performances of Bach&#8217;s music known as &#8220;The Schweitzer Technique&#8221; which involved a new positioning of microphones.

An Alphabet of Celebrities, by Oliver Herford; 1899; Small &#038; Maynard, Boston. Intricately rhymed and beautifully illustrated alphabet book on the world of late 19th century celebrity. It ends up creating quite wonderfully bizarre a-historical scenarios by throwing names with the same beginning letter all in with each other &#8211; for the letter N: &#8220;N is for Napoleon, shrouded in gloom,/ With Nero, Narcissus, and Nerdau, to whom/ He&#8217;s explaining the manual of arms with a broom.&#8221; The book is housed at the Internet Archive, donated by The Library of Congress.

During the years of the Qing [Ch'ing] Dynasty, copies such of this of Qiu Ying&#8217;s painting were popular because they were considered an excellent guide to elegant behaviour.

content:
Roundhay Garden Scene is an 1888 short film directed by inventor Louis Le Prince, considered to be the world&#8217;s first film ever made using a motion picture camera. According to Le Prince&#8217;s son, Adolphe, it was filmed at Oakwood Grange, the home of Joseph and Sarah Whitley, in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom on October 14, 1888. It features Adolphe Le Prince, Sarah Whitley, Joseph Whitley and Harriet Hartley in the garden, walking around and laughing. It was recorded at 12 frames per second and runs for only 2.11 seconds. Le Prince later used his camera to shoot trams and the horse-drawn and pedestrian traffic on Leeds Bridge. These pictures were soon projected on a screen in Leeds, making it the first motion picture exhibition. After returning to France, in September 1890, Le Prince was preparing to go back to the UK to patent his new camera, followed by a trip to the US to promote it. Before his journey, he decided to return home and visit friends and family. Having done so, he left Bourges on 13 September to visit his brother in Dijon. He would then take the 16 September train to Paris, but when [...]

Russian fairy tales from the Russian of Polevoi, by R. Nisbet Bain, illustrated by Noel L. Nisbet; 1915; Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York. A collection of Russian fairytales translated from the Russian of Nikolai Polevoy, a notable editor, writer, translator in the early 19th century. The translations were made by Robert Nisbet Bain, a British historian who worked for the British Museum, and a polyglot who could reportedly speak over twenty languages fluently. He famously taught himself Hungarian in order that he could read the works of Mór Jókai in the original after first reading him in German, going on to become the most prolific translator into English from Hungarian in the nineteenth century.

content:
Jonathan Lamb explores the genre of &#8216;it-narratives&#8217; &#8211; stories told from the point of view of an object, often as it travels in circulation through human hands. Some of the best recent books about things, such as John Plotz&#8217;s Portable Property (2008) and Elaine Freedgood&#8217;s Ideas in Things (2006), deal with artefacts, commodities and curiosities that find their value and significance by means of circulation, moving from place to place and hand to hand. These journeys of things were the theme of the essays edited by Arjun Appadurai in his landmark collection, The Social Lives of Things (1986). The title glanced at Marx&#8217;s theory of commodity fetishism, sharing the assumption made in Capital I that things get a life by moving about and meeting other things; and that if these things have an ambition, it is to act like human beings: that is socially. The sociability of things seems to be co-extensive with the market that generated the system of exchange value; for just as the merchant&#8217;s interest is focused on the most desirable commodities &#8212; those that move the fastest and never lie upon his hands &#8212; so the commodities themselves desire nothing better than to be in perpetual [...]

content:
One of the most notable newsreel films in existence &#8211; footage showing the assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia on 9th October, 1934. While the exact moment of shooting was not captured on film, the events leading to the assassination and the immediate aftermath were. The body of the chauffeur (who had been killed instantly) became jammed against the brakes of the car, allowing the cameraman to continue filming from within inches of the King for a number of minutes afterwards. The film was later revealed to have been manipulated slightly in order to give the audience the impression that the assassination had been captured on film. Three identical gunshot sounds were added to the film afterwards, when in reality Chernozemski shot over ten times, killing or wounding a total of 15 people. The exact moment of assassination was never filmed. On Tuesday 9 October 1934 the King Alexander arrived in Marseilles to start a state visit to the Third French Republic, to strengthen the two countries&#8217; alliance in the Little Entente. While Alexander was being driven in a car through the streets along with French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, a gunman, Vlado Chernozemski, stepped from the street and shot [...]

content:
Arika Okrent explores the rise and fall of Volapük &#8211; a universal language created in the late 19th century by a German priest called Johann Schleyer. Johann Schleyer was a German priest whose irrational passion for umlauts may have been his undoing. During one sleepless night in 1879, he felt a Divine presence telling him to create a universal language. The result was Volapük. It was designed to be easy to learn, with a system of simple roots derived from European languages, and regular affixes which attached to the roots to make new words. Volapük was the first invented language to gain widespread success. By the end of the 1880s there were more than 200 Volapük societies and clubs around the world and 25 Volapük journals. Over 1500 diplomas in Volapük had been awarded. In 1889, when the third international Volapük congress was held in Paris, the proceedings were entirely in Volapük. Everyone had at least heard of it. President Grover Cleveland&#8217;s wife even named her dog Volapük. Though Schleyer was German, a large part of the Volapük vocabulary was based on English. &#8220;Volapük&#8221; was a compound formed from two roots, vol (from &#8220;world&#8221;) and pük (from &#8220;speak&#8221;). However, it [...]

content:
The 23rd Psalm recited by Rev. William H. Morgan D.D. and followed by a rendition by the Calvary Choir of the hymn &#8220;He Leadeth Me&#8221;, originally written by Joseph Gilmore who had this to say about its creation: As a young man who re­cent­ly had been grad­u­at­ed from Brown Un­i­ver­si­ty and New­ton The­o­lo­gic­al In­sti­tu­tion, I was sup­ply­ing for a cou­ple of Sun­days the pul­pit of the First Bap­tist Church in Phil­a­del­phia. At the mid-week ser­vice, on the 26th of March, 1862, I set out to give the peo­ple an ex­po­si­tion of the Twen­ty-third Psalm, which I had giv­en be­fore on three or four oc­ca­sions, but this time I did not get fur­ther than the words “He Lead­eth Me.” Those words took hold of me as they had ne­ver done be­fore, and I saw them in a sig­ni­fi­cance and won­drous beau­ty of which I had ne­ver dreamed. This recording from 1919 is made by Thomas Edison and housed at the Library of Congress. The 23rd psalm is perhaps the best known of them all, importnat in both the Christian and Jewish traditions. It is particularly popular in the world of cinema where it is used in an interesting variety of scenes [...]

Plates from &#8220;Essai d&#8217;Anatomie&#8221; produced by Gautier D&#8217;Agoty in 1745 in Paris, France &#8211; a remarkably detailed atlas of the head, neck, and shoulder areas of the human body with explanatory text in French. From the Internet Archive description: The anatomical images were based on human cadavers dissected by Joseph Duverney and produced using the mezzotint method of engraving and printing. Mezzotint color engraving printing was invented by Jaques Christophe Le Blon in 1719. Mezzotint (from the Italian phrase &#8220;mezza tina&#8221; or &#8220;half tone&#8221;) prints are produced by engraving a metal plate with numerous small holes that hold ink. When used to make a print, the engraved plate produces large areas of subtle shaded color tones. Since the mezzotint technique is quite labor-intensive, it fell out of favor by the 20th century, although it is still utilized by some artists. Most often used to reproduce paintings by famous artists, mezzotint printing was rarely used for original works of art, making the &#8220;Essai d&#8217;Anatomie&#8221; a work of great scientific and artistic significance. The original copy of the &#8220;Essai d&#8217;Anatomie&#8221; held by the Rudolph Matas Library of the Health Sciences at Tulane University was restored, bound, and digitized by William Kitchens.

Morte d&#8217;Arthur, a poem by Alfred Tennyson, written out and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski; 1912; Reproduced by the Graphic Engraving Co. for Chatto &#038; Windus, London. Alfred Lord Tennyson&#8217;s Morte d&#8217;Arthur, written as early as the spring of 1835, was a retelling of the third, fourth and fifth chapters of the twenty-first book of Malory&#8217;s Romance about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. Tennyson later would incorporate a much extended and altered version of the poem into his The Idylls of the King, as the last section titled &#8216;The Passing of Arthur&#8217;. The illuminator Alberto Sangorski (1862-1932) was late to the world of calligraphy, at the age of 43 beginning to work for his younger brother Francis in the famous Sangorski and Sutcliffe bookbinding firm. One of his greatest achievements was a unique jewel bound version of Omar Khayyám&#8217;s Rubáiyát, now referred to as &#8216;the Great Omar,&#8217; which never reached the American collector who commissioned it as it was sent across on the ill fated Titanic in 1912.

From Biograph picture catalogue, Nov. 1902 [MI], p. 39: This scene is laid in the parlor of a New York tenement. Two watchers at the wake are smoking and drinking, while the widow is weeping over the coffin. The attention of the three is attracted for an instant, and the supposed corpse rises up, drinks all the beer in the pitcher which is standing on a table nearby, and lies down in the coffin again. The mourners return, and seeing that the beer is gone, engage in a controversy over it. During the scrap the corpse jumps out of the coffin and takes part in the melee.

With his enormous range of scholarly pursuits the 17th century polymath Athanasius Kircher has been hailed as the last Renaissance man and &#8220;the master of hundred arts&#8221;. John Glassie looks at one of Kircher&#8217;s great masterworks Mundus Subterraneus and how it was inspired by a subterranean adventure Kircher himself made into the bowl of Vesuvius. Just before Robert Hooke’s rightly famous microscopic observations of everything from the “Edges of Rasors” to “Vine mites” appeared in Micrographia in 1665, the insatiably curious and incredibly prolific Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher published what is in many ways a more spectacular work. Mundus Subterraneus (Underground World), a two-volume tome of atlas-like dimensions, was intended to lay out “before the eyes of the curious reader all that is rare, exotic, and portentous contained in the fecund womb of Nature.” There is an “idea of the earthly sphere that exists in the divine mind,” Kircher proclaimed, and in this book, one of more than thirty on almost as many subjects that he published during his lifetime, he tried to prove that he had grasped it. As a French writer put it some years later, “it would take a whole journal to indicate everything remarkable in this [...]

content:
José Guadalupe Posada (1851–1913) was a Mexican illustrator known for his satirical and politically acute calaveras. Deriving from the Spanish word for &#8216;skulls&#8217;, these calaveras were illustrations featuring skeletons which would, after Posada&#8217;s death, become closely associated with the mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Most of these calaveras were published by the press of Antonio Vanegas Arroyo which produced inexpensive literature for the lower classes, including thousands of satirical broadsides which Posada illustrated. Through this focus on mortality Vanegas Arroyo and Posada satirised many poignant issues of the day, in particular the details of bourgeois life and the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. On January 20th 1913, 3 years after the start of the Mexican Revolution, José Guadalupe Posada died at his home in obscurity. He was penniless and buried in an unmarked grave. It was only years later in the 1920s that his work became recognised on a national and international level after it was championed by the French ex-patriot artist Jean Charlot who described Posada as “printmaker to the Mexican people”.

After her mother&#8217;s death in 1914 Margaret served as the First Lady of the United States until her father&#8217;s second marriage in 1915. She would go on to make several recordings around 1918. In 1938 she travelled to the ashram of Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry, India where she chose to stay for the rest of her life. She was later known in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram as &#8216;Nistha&#8217; (Sanskrit for &#8220;sincerity&#8221;). In 1942, she and the scholar Joseph Campbell edited the English translation of the classical work on the Hindu mystic, Sri Ramakrishna, The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna by Swami Nikhilananda, which was published in 1942. She was to die two years later, 6 years after entering the ashram, of a kidney infection aged 57.

content:
&#8220;The Temple of Flora&#8221; is the third and final part of Robert John Thornton&#8217;s New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus, considered by many to be the greatest of all flower books. It consists of a series of sumptuous depictions of flowers notable for their epic and unusual settings. Interwoven amongst the images are various descriptions, histories and poetic odes regarding the flowers featured. The first plates were engraved by Thomas Medland in May 1798 from paintings by Philip Reinagle. Between 1798 and 1807 they produced a total of thirty-three coloured plates, engraved in aquatint, stipple and line. Others engravers included Joseph Constantine Stadler working from the painting of Peter Charles Henderson. When he planned the project, Thornton had decided to publish seventy folio-size plates. Lack of interest from the general public spelled disaster for the scheme, and the holding of a lottery could not save it from financial ruin, neither did a page in the work dedicated to the spouse of George III, Queen Charlotte, patroness of botany and the fine arts.

Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character (1896-1934); 1909; Royal Society of London. Charles Babbage, (1791–1871) was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered the &#8220;father of the computer&#8221;, Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs. Babbage himself decided that he wanted his brain to be donated to science upon his death. In a letter accompanying the donation, his son Henry wrote: I have no objection&#8230;to the idea of preserving the brain&#8230;Please therefore do what you consider best&#8230;[T]he brain should be known as his, and disposed of in any manner which you consider most conducive to the advancement of human knowledge and the good of the human race.

Stevenson&#8217;s baby book, being the record of the sayings and doings of Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson, son of Thomas Stevenson, C.E. and Margaret Isabella Balfour or Stevenson; 1922; John Howell / J.H.

content:
In 1911 the soon-to-be poet laureate Robert Bridges published the poems of Digby Mackworth Dolben, a school friend who had drowned to death at the age of 19 almost half a century earlier. Carl Miller looks at Bridges&#8217; lengthy introduction in which he tells of the short and tragic life of the boy with whom fellow poet Gerard Manley Hopkins was reportedly besotted. Popular success came late in life to Robert Bridges&#8212;not that he much cared. When the journalists finally descended on his house in the summer of 1913 he responded first with indifference; and then not at all, leaving their importuning knocks unanswered. One might suspect that he had learned to hate the press from Tennyson, whose grand performance as Poet and Sage had burdened the Victorians of Bridges&#8217;s generation with an interpretation of the role whose hoary magic they could never quite forget, however much they&#8217;d come to hate the trick; but Bridges&#8217;s own reserve was deeply felt and honestly acquired. He was born in 1844 into a wealthy family of the Kentish gentry, and as such he had no need of ever living by his pen. He loved poetry but studied medicine, believing that a physician&#8217;s practice [...]

William Penn Adair &#8220;Will&#8221; Rogers (1879–1935) was an American cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, social commentator and motion picture actor. He was one of the world&#8217;s best-known celebrities of the interwar period and by the mid-30s was internationally known as a leading political wit and top-paid Hollywood movie star. At the peak of his success, in 1935, he died when a small airplane he was travelling in crashed in Alaska. He joked about his own early death: When I die, my epitaph, or whatever you call those signs on gravestones, is going to read: &#8220;I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident like.&#8221; I am so proud of that, I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved.

Scribner&#8217;s Sons in London, New York. Most famous for painting the Sistine Chapel and his sculpture of David, the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo was also a prolific poet, in his lifetime penning more than 300 sonnets and madrigals. It is in his poetry that many critics have seen present the clearest evidence of his homosexual leanings. The openly homoerotic nature of the poetry has been a source of discomfort to later generations. Michelangelo&#8217;s grandnephew, Michelangelo the Younger, published them in 1623 with the gender of pronouns changed, and it was not until John Addington Symonds translated them into English in 1893 that the original genders were restored &#8211; the book featured here is the 2nd edition of this work which features an Introduction by Symonds (see here for the 1st edition). Even in modern times some scholars continue to insist that, despite the restoration of the pronouns, the sonnets represent &#8220;an emotionless and elegant re-imagining of Platonic dialogue, whereby erotic poetry was seen as an expression of refined sensibilities&#8221;.

A selection from the 100 plates featured in the book Examples of Chinese ornament selected from objects in the South Kensington museum and other collections (1867) by Owen Jones. From the Preface: The late war in China, and the Ti-ping rebellion, by the destruction and sacking of many public buildings, has caused the introduction to Europe of a great number of truly magnificent works of Ornamental Art, of a character which had been rarely seen before that period, and which are remarkable, not only for the perfection and skill shown in the technical processes, but also for the beauty and harmony of the colouring, and general perfection of the ornamentation. In the following Plates I have gathered together as great a variety of these new styles of Ornament as have come within my reach, and I trust that no important phase of this Art has escaped me. I have had the advantage of access to the National Collection at South Kensington and the unrivalled collection of Alfred Morrison, Esq., of Fonthill, who has secured the finest specimens from time to time, as they have appeared in this country.

Brian Murray explores how after Stanley&#8217;s trip the African pygmy, in the form of stereotype and allegory, made its way into late Victorian society. On 28 October 1888 the Welsh-American explorer Henry Morton Stanley was entrenched deep in the unexplored Ituri rainforest of the Congo. He had been hacking his way back and forth through the jungle for months in his attempt to relieve the colonial governor Emin Pasha, whose province in the southern Sudan was under siege by a coalition of Sudanese and Arab insurgents under the command of the messianic cleric Muhammad Ahmad. Famished and exhausted, Stanley sent his East-African porters out to pillage what they could from native farms. On this occasion they brought back an unusual prize: a “couple of pygmies”. These “pygmies” were most likely one of several diminutive ethnic groups (including the Aka, Twa, Mbuti and Efé) that still inhabit the forests in the upper Congo Basin. But for Stanley these Africans did not merely represent intriguing ethnographic specimens; they [...]

Prison diary of Michael Dougherty, late Co. B, 13th., Pa., cavalry. While confined in Pemberton, Barrett&#8217;s, Libby, Andersonville and other southern prisons. Sole survivor of 127 of his regiment captured the same time, 122 dying in Andersonville, by C. A. Dougherty; 1908; Bristol, Pennsylvania. The diary of Michael Dougherty, a young Irish soldier in the American Civil War, kept while imprisoned in various Confederate prison camps. As Dougherty notes, in 1863 “At 5 p.m. we were overpowered, cut off from the division and 127 of our regiment, among whom was your humble servant, were compelled to surrender.” For the next 23 months moving from camp to camp Dougherty kept his secret diary noting down his experiences of daily life. Of the 127 Union soldiers taken prisoner with him, he was the sole survivor, with nearly all of them perishing at the hands of commander Captain Wirz in the notorious Andersonville, Georgia prison. Dougherty&#8217;s descriptions of the appalling conditions at Andersonville are amongst the most harrowing in the book.

Scrooge, or, Marley&#8217;s Ghost, directed by Walter R. Booth, is the oldest known film adaptation of Charles Dickens&#8217; 1843 novel A Christmas Carol &#8211; featuring the miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge confronted by Marley&#8217;s ghost and given by visions of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The film, &#8220;although somewhat flat and stage-bound to modern eyes,&#8221; according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, &#8220;was an ambitious undertaking at the time,&#8221; as, &#8220;not only did it attempt to tell an 80 page story in five minutes, but it featured impressive trick effects, superimposing Marley&#8217;s face over the door knocker and the scenes from his youth over a black curtain in Scrooge&#8217;s bedroom.&#8221; It was presented in &#8216;Twelve Tableaux&#8217; or scenes and is thought to contain the first ever use of intertitles in a film.

content:
Contrary to what many believe, Santa Claus as we know him today &#8211; sleigh riding, gift-giving, rotund and white bearded with his distinctive red suit trimmed with white fur &#8211; was not the creation of the Coca Cola Company. Although their Christmas advertising campaigns of the 1930s and 40s were key to popularising the image, Santa can be seen in his modern form decades before Coca Cola&#8217;s illustrator Haddon Sundblom got to work. Prior to settling on his famed red garb and jolly bearded countenance, throughout the latter half of the 19th century, Santa morphed through a variety of different looks. From the description given in Clement Moore&#8217;s A Visit from St Nicholas in 1822, through the vision of artist Thomas Nast, and later Norman Rockwell, Mr Claus gradually shed his various guises and became the jolly red-suited Santa we know today. Below we&#8217;ve put together a little pictorial guide showing his evolvement through the ages. 13TH CENTURY The name Santa Claus has his roots in the informal Dutch name for St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas (an abbreviation of Sint Nikolaas). St. Nicholas was a historic 4th-century Greek saint (from an area now in modern day Turkey) who had a reputation for [...]

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a 1964 science fiction film that regularly appears on lists of the worst films ever made. It is regularly featured in the &#8220;bottom 100&#8243; list on the Internet Movie Database, and was featured in an episode of the 1986 syndicated series, the Canned Film Festival. It was directed by Nicholas Webster, and it stars John Call as Santa Claus. It also includes an 8-year-old Pia Zadora playing the role of one of the Martian children. The film took on newfound fame in the 1990s after being featured on an episode of the comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000. It became a holiday staple on the Comedy Central cable channel in the years following its 1991 premiere. It has since found new life again in the 2000s having been riffed by Cinematic Titanic.

content:
To mark the 200th year since the Brothers Grimm first published their Kinder-und Hausmärchen, Jack Zipes explores the importance of this neglected first edition and what it tells us about the motives and passions of the two folklorist brothers. The greatest irony of the numerous world-wide celebrations held this year to honor the 200th anniversary of the first edition of the Grimms&#8217; Kinder-und Hausmärchen, published in two volumes in 1812 and 1815, involves the discovery that most people really don&#8217;t know the original Grimms&#8217; tales or much about their lives. That is, most people have no clue that the Grimms&#8217; first edition of 1812/15 is totally unlike the final or so-called definitive edition of 1857, that they published seven different editions from 1812 to 1857, and that they made vast changes in the contents and style of their collections and also altered their concept of folk and fairy tales in the process. Even so-called scholars of German literature and experts of the Grimms&#8217; tales are not aware of how little most people, including themselves, know about the first edition, and ironically it is their and our &#8220;ignorance&#8221; that makes the rediscovery of the tales in the first edition so exciting [...]

content:
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described by John of Patmos in his Book of Revelations, the last book of the New Testament. The chapter tells of a &#8220;&#8216;book&#8217;, or &#8216;scroll&#8217;, in God&#8217;s right hand that is sealed with seven seals&#8221;. The Lamb of God, or Lion of Judah, (Jesus Christ) opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons forth four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses. Although some interpretations differ, in most accounts, the four riders are seen as symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, respectively. The Christian apocalyptic vision is that the four horsemen are to set a divine apocalypse upon the world as harbingers of the Last Judgment. The White Horse I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, &#8220;Come and see!&#8221; I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. ( Revelation 6:1-2) The Red Horse When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second [...]

content:
Sir Isaac Newton&#8217;s Daniel and the Apocalypse with an introductory study of the nature and the cause of unbelief, of miracles and prophecy, by Sir William Whitla; 1922; Murray, London. Best known for his advancements in scientific thought Sir Isaac Newton was also big into his apocalyptic prophecy. Largely unknown and unpublished documents, evidently written by Isaac Newton, indicate that he believed the world could end in 2060 AD. (He also had many other possible dates e.g. 2034). Despite the dramatic nature of a prediction of the end of the world, Newton may not have been referring to the 2060 date as a destructive act resulting in the annihilation of the earth and its inhabitants, but rather one in which he believed the world was to be replaced with a new one based upon a transition to an era of divinely inspired peace. In Christian theology, this concept is often referred to as The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of Paradise by The Kingdom of God on Earth. In his posthumously-published Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John, Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood &#8220;until the time [...]

content:
In 1897, Dr. Philip O&#8217;Hanlon, a coroner&#8217;s assistant on Manhattan&#8217;s Upper West Side, was asked a question by his then eight-year-old daughter, Virginia, which many a parent has been asked before: whether Santa Claus really exists. O&#8217;Hanlon deferred. He suggested Virginia wrote asking the question to one of New York&#8217;s most prominent newspapers at the time, The Sun, assuring her that &#8220;If you see it in The Sun, it&#8217;s so.&#8221; Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, &#8216;If you see it in The Sun it&#8217;s so.&#8217; Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? The response to Virginia&#8217;s letter by one of the paper&#8217;s editors, Francis Pharcellus Church, remains the most reprinted editorial ever to run in any newspaper in the English language and found itself the subject of books, a film and television series. In his response Church goes beyond a simple &#8220;yes of course&#8221; to explore the philosophical issues behind Virginia&#8217;s request to tell her &#8220;the truth&#8221; and in the process lampoon a certain skepticism which he had found rife in American society since the suffering of the Civil War.

A Christmas Sermon, by Robert Louis Stevenson; 1900; C. Scribner&#8217;s Sons, New York. A Christmas Sermon by Robert Louis Stevenson written while he convalesced from a lung ailment at Lake Sarnac in the winter of 1887. In the short text he meditates on the questions of death, morality and man&#8217;s main task in life which he concludes is “To be honest, to be kind — to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence.” The piece was to be published in Scribner’s magazine the following December. This pamphlet edition is from 1900, published 6 years after Stevenson&#8217;s death at the age of just 44. The book is housed at the Internet Archive, contributed by the Library of Congress.
