For a good example of the connection between carnival and riots, see Le Roy
Ladurie's very readable book "Le Carnaval du Romans" (Carnival in Romans).

 XIVth Congress of the International Comparative Literature Association

                       August 15-20, 1994
                   Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

    The 14th Congress of the International Comparative Literature Asso-
ciation / Association internationale de litterature comparee (ICLA/AILC)
will be held 15-20 August 1994 on the campus of the University of
Alberta.  The theme of the Congress is "Literature and Diversity: Lan-
guages, Cultures, Societies / Litterature et Diversite: Langues,
Cultures, Societes."  To submit an abstract, please obtain a form from
the address given below, and submit it by April 20, 1993.  For inquiries,
please contact the office of the Congress (Milan V. Dimic, General
Organizer; Steven Totosy de Zepetnek, Executive Secretary), Research
Institute for Comparative Literature, University of Alberta, Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada T6G 2E6; telephone 403 492-4776; Fax 403 492-5662;
e-mail stotosy@vm.ucs.ualberta.ca

Congress Objectives:  In a world where an estimated 6,000 languages and
literatures co-exist in about 187 states -- of which less than 10% are
ethnically unified and where cultural spheres do not coincide with state
frontiers -- the monocultural, monolingual, and homogenous nation-state
model cannot claim universality.  Hence, for scholars of literature
comparative literary studies have become an important area which allows
focus on both the more traditional international approaches to literary
phenomena in a national context.  The proposed theme of the Congress
should allow for historical, methodological, and theoretical explorations
of literature in both an international and intranational perspective
where literature is viewed as communication in a social context.  It
invitres application of diverse contemporary methods of literary scholar-
ship as well as interdisciplinary and pluridisciplinary approaches.  The
Congress expects to attract submissions of presentations dealing with
literature in historical, methodological, theoretical, and analytical
perspectives in the context of cultural and linguistic diversity.

Subject: RE: double jointed babies

Although the OED may not record usage of "baby" until c. 1720, I am not
so sure how clear it is "that babe was the only word commonly used."  In
Book II, chap. ii of Gulliver's Travels, "baby" is used repeatedly, although
in the sense of what we would now call "doll."  In chap. v of that book,
the word is used in a more ambiguous context: "The Monkey was seen by Hundreds
in the Court. . . holding me like a Baby in one of his Fore-Paws, and
feeding me with the other."  Of course, this is 1726, but a more famous
work about small children from 1729, complicates the issue a bit.  "A
Modest Proposal" mentions "innocent Babes," a "poor Babe," and several
"infants," but never uses the term, "baby."  Clearly the term of choice
in that essay is simply "Child."  Moreover, that seems most in keeping
with my memory of other works in the period: "Child" most frequently used,
"babe" used more sparingly and specifically to invoke pathos, and "baby"
used infrequently and at least as likely to refer to a doll as a child.
Certainly, however, usage would seem to be in flux during the period.
The second apparition in Macbeth is described as "a bloody Child," but
Macbeth's response to the third apparition, "a Child crowned," reads:
"What is this that . . . wears upon his baby-brow, etc."
  Since this mildly amusing philological sidebar began with a query
concerning the origin of the line, "the double-jointed baby with a
spring between his legs," it is the general opinion in this quarter
of the world that this line has nothing to do with either the seven-
teenth or the eighteenth-centuries, but is instead from an old blues
ballad, probably performed by Bessie Smith.

Subject: Re: Disguised Rioting

In 1749, Gov. Oliver De Lancey (NY) and some friends blackened their
faces and attacked the house of a Jewish family.  Similarly, a mob of 40
men in 1764 blackened their faces and "rescued" a ship seized by customs
officials in Rhode Island.

   THese examples come from a cursory examination of the vast literature
on colonial and revolutionary mobs in early America.  I suggest that you
look at the following sources for more examples:

     Paul Gilje, The Road to Mobocracy
     Peter Shaw, American Patriots and the Rituals of Revolution
     Pauline Maier, "Popular Uprisings and CIvil Authority in 18th
Century america," William and Mary Quarterly, 3s ser., 27 (1970), 3-35

    Finally, you might want to look at Thomas Slaughter's fine piece,
"Crowds in 18th C America: Reflections and NEw Directions," in the
Pennsyvania Magazine of History and Biography, 115 (Jan. 1991), 3-34,
for additional bibliography.

     meeting  of  the History of Science Society in Santa Fe, New
     Mexico,  11-14 November, 1993.  All  are  invited  to submit
     proposals  in  any area  of the history of the philosophy of
     science. Those interested in participating should send three
     copies of a  brief  abstract  and a  short cv (about  half a
     page) to:

          Chicago, IL 60637
          (email: garb@midway.uchicago.edu)

     The  deadline  for  submission  is  25 February, 1993. Other
     members  of  the  program  committee   include  Tom  Oberdan
     (oberdat@clemson.bitnet) and Antonia Soulez. If you have any
     questions,  comments,  or  suggestions,  please  contact any

          As it happens, one of the two themes announced for this
     coming  April's  Philosophy  of  Science  Conference  at the
     Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik (12-24 April) is Histo-
     ry of the  Philosophy  of Science (the other topic is Values
     in Science).  The organizers  say that even though travel to
     Dubrovnik is a  bit complicated at the present moment, it is
     still perfectly  safe, last April's  conference  having been
     held without incident.  A program for the conference has not
     yet been finalized, but those who are interested in partici-
     pating in the conference can write for more information to:

I am interested in communicating with any of you who have expertise
in the Church of Ireland in the 18th century.  I am presently working
on an historical and bibliographical essay on the Sermons preached
before the Incorporated Society for Promoting English Protestant
Schools in Ireland.  These sermons were preached by a number of Anglican
bishops.  The Incorporated Society met about every other year in
the 18th century to hear these well publicized sermons.  I have copies
of all the sermons and an extensive bibliography of pertinent publications.
I am interested in connecting with others who share my interest.

I'm glad to have the news about the availability of Sitwell's bibliographies

commercial uses of the NET?  I'm not against such announcements; I welcome
them.  When a new book of C18 interest is reported, can we also have the list
price as well as publisher and date of publication?  Such information does
not hinder us; it helps the profession.  I'd be interested in knowing about
a means or system for exchanging our scholarly books, but I'm sure that we
don't want to clutter up our news-and-information screens with our personal
want lists, and the like.  Any thoughts on this, friends?
