Abstract:

James Hall's 1838 paper on two species of the trilohite Paradoxides in the American Journal of Science, the first paper Hall published in a scientific journal and the first to deal with fossils, was conceived and written by James Dwight Dana. The sequence of events was uncovered by M. L. Prendergast (1978) in an unpublished thesis. The Trilobite Affair, as it was dubbed by Dana, created problems for both participants and it may have been a source of discord 20 years later as Hall and Dana clashed over theories of mountain building. John Clarke and Rudolf Ruedemann, Hall's successors, attempted to exonerate their mentor by shifting the entire blame for the affair to Dana.

Abstract:

In the first half of the nineteenth century, a model of legal education called “legal science” became prominent in American universities. The idea of teaching law as a science was not new in American education. In 1823 Timothy Dwight wrote that Tapping Reeve, at Litchfield, taught law “as a science, and not merely nor principally as a mechanical business; nor as a collection of loose independent fragments, but as a regular well-compacted system.” Dwight, however, used “science” in its older sense of an organized body of knowledge rather than in its emergent sense as a method characteristic of the study of nature. Similarly, James Kent and Joseph Story, Francis Hilliard, and Silas Jones all thought of themselves as approaching law as a science, but what they meant was that law was an outgrowth of the moral sciences.

Full text

Abstract:

While dozens of naturalists had examined discrete Pacific environments prior to the 1830s, the American geologist James Dwight Dana was the first to hypothesize the underlying forces that created and unified this vast ocean basin as a whole. During his four-year journey with the U.S. Exploring Expedition (1838––1842), Dana developed a holistic view of geological systems throughout the Pacific, including those continental lands soon claimed by the United States as its Far West. But Dana's innovative work on Pacific geology and his extra-continental reading of the Far West changed in the 1850s. Like other American explorer-geologists who found cause for reifying a continental geology, Dana's work lost sight of the Pacific Basin and instead focused on the exceptional and spiritually preordained structure of American landforms.

Abstract:

This chapter explains the difficulties caused for the Trotskyist movement and like-thinking Marxists by World War II, due to its combination of vexing features. Writings by James P. Cannon on “the proletarian military policy” and by Albert Goldman in the pages of the Militant newspaper are used to explain the strategy by which resistance to fascism was theorized. The alternative thinking of Dwight Macdonald and the perspectives of Meyer Schapiro and Edmund Wilson are also discussed, as well as new developments in literary criticism.

Abstract:

For a generation, this book has stood as the authoritative account of an often misunderstood chapter in the history of a celebrated tradition among literary radicals in the United States that began in the Great Depression. Wald’s passionate investigation of over half a century of dissident Marxist thought, Jewish internationalism, fervent political activism, and the complex art of the literary imagination is enriched by more than one hundred personal interviews, unparalleled primary research, and critical interpretations of novels and short stories depicting the inner lives of committed writers and thinkers. Wald's commanding biographical portraits of rebel outsiders, some of whom founded Partisan Review, who mostly became insiders, often Cold War liberals and a few neoconservatives, retains its resonance today. Included is commentary on Max Eastman, Elliot Cohen, Lionel Trilling, Sidney Hook, Tess Slesinger, James Burnham, Meyer Schapiro, Dwight Macdonald, Philip Rahv, Mary McCarthy, James T. Farrell, Irving Kristol, Irving Howe, Hannah Arendt, and more. With a new preface by the author that tracks the rebounding influence of these intellectuals in the era of Occupy and Bernie Sanders, this anniversary edition shows that the trajectory and ideological ordeals of the New York intellectual Left still matters today.

Abstract:

In this lecture Woodward charts the development of southern liberalism from the late Enlightenment to the early antebellum era when southern enslavers articulated a new defense of the institution of slavery as a positive good. Those who dissented fell under intense scrutiny, and no longer comfortable with the South’s ideological aggressiveness they left the region in exile. Woodward explains how these exiles were torn between their conscience and loyalty to families and region. The exiles of the thirties typically came from the most privileged class, from wealthy enslavers, cultured families of position and distinction. They were influenced by the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, and especially drawn to abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld at Lane Theological Seminary. These exiled white southern abolitionists include James G. Birney; James A. Thome; and the Grimke sisters, Sarah and Angelina.

Abstract:

Dwight L. Moody’s closest associates were evangelists who also became leading proponents of dispensational premillennialism or dispensationalism. The associates included Reuben A. Torrey, James M. Gray, C. I. Scofield, William J. Erdman, A. C. Dixon, and A. J. Gordon. John Nelson Darby was the progenitor of this system. Dispensationalism became one of the foundations for much of fundamentalism. It was a system for interpreting biblical prophesies. It proponents also emphasized personal piety. American revivalism tended to include these emphases: simple ways of interpreting the Bible, warm emotions, and personal piety and purity. Reuben Torrey, who came closest to being Moody’s successor, particularly illustrates this combination of emphases.

Abstract:

Although Drew Pearson encouraged Dwight Eisenhower to run for president, he quickly lost his enthusiasm and became a frequent critic. Pearson had hoped that Eisenhower would stand up against McCarthyism but considered his response to be weak. Knowing that many of the newspapers that carried the “Merry-Go-Round” were Republican, Pearson tried to cover the Republican administration fairly, while scrutinizing it thoroughly. His columns helped to defeat the nomination of Lewis Strauss to be secretary of commerce, and forced the resignation of Eisenhower’s chief of staff, Sherman Adams. Eisenhower’s objective of a “leak-free” administration made investigative reporting harder and caused Pearson to be frequently assailed by Eisenhower’s press secretary, James Hagerty, for publishing lies. Later evidence, however, has supported Pearson’s reporting and revealed Hagerty to be the liar.

Abstract:

This chapter explores Protestant theological schools that educated pastors as reformers of church and the nation after religious disestablishment. This education built upon the liberal arts of the colleges, which taught the basic textual interpretation, rhetoric, and oratory. Rev. Timothy Dwight led the way in fashioning a new liberal arts in the college, which served as the foundation for advanced theological education. At Yale, he integrated the belles-lettres of European literature and rhetoric into the predominant American framework of Scottish Common Sense Realism. He also coupled these pedagogies with the voluntarist theology of Jonathan Edwards and the New Divinity, which bolstered Christian volunteerism and mission. With Dwight’s help, New England Congregationalists developed a graduate theological at Andover with a faculty in Scripture, theology, and homiletics (practical theology) who taught in the interdisciplinary, rhetorical framework of the liberal arts. Dr. Ebenezer Porter raised a generation of princes of the pulpit and college professors of rhetoric and oratory, and he wrote the first widely used manuals in elocution. Moses Stuart in Bible advanced German critical studies of Scripture for future pastoral work and for scholars in the field. The greatest alternative to Andover was the historic Calvinism of Princeton Theological Seminary, as interpreted through the empiricism of Scottish Common Sense. President Archibald Alexander, historian Samuel Miller, theologian Charles Hodge, and later homiletics professor James Wadell Alexander emphasized the text-critical and narrative interpretation of Scripture, and the emphasis on classic rhetoric and oratory in homiletics culminated the curriculum.

Abstract:

According to one magic crystal website, pyrite is a highly protective stone blocking and shielding you from negative energy. This may originate from Pietro Maria Canepario, who in 1619 cited Avicenna as stating that “if pyrite is worn on an infant’s neck, it defends him from all fear.” Other New Age sources maintain that pyrite can be beneficial when planning large business concepts because placing a piece on the desk energizes the area around it. Pyrite also reduces fatigue and is good for students because it is thought to improve memory and recall and to stimulate the flow of ideas. So you are certainly reading the right book . . . The magical properties of pyrite stem at least partly from the occurrence of pyritized ammonites (Figure 4.1) in ancient Egypt. Ammonites are fossils of coiled mollusks that became extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic Era, about 60 million years ago. Ammonites got their name because they resemble coiled ram’s horns and the Egyptian god Amun (or Amon, Ammon, etc.) usually wore ram’s horns. The person responsible for this flight of fancy was Pliny the Elder, who called these fossils ammonis cornua or horns of Ammon. The golden pyritized ammonites were prized as lucky charms and worn as amulets in ancient Egypt. They are common today and may be readily collected from the beach at Charmouth in southern England, particularly after a storm has caused more fresh rock from the cliffs to tumble down onto the beach. The bright golden crystals of pyrite have fascinated humankind through the ages. The crystals display a variety of distinct shapes that make them extremely attractive. Indeed, pyrite may display the greatest variety of crystal forms of any common mineral. The great American mineralogist James Dwight Dana described eighty-five different forms, and the founder of geochemistry, Victor Moritz Goldschmidt, drew line drawings of almost 700 different pyrite crystals. In this chapter I show how the explanation of this extraordinary diversity of pyrite crystal shapes (or habits, formally) has helped reveal the nature of the material universe.
