Subject:      Encyclopedia--Writers Wanted

This is an invitation to all to participate in the preparation of the
projected HANOVERIAN ENGLAND: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA, to be published in 1994
by Garland Press. I am currently soliciting articles on a variety of
subjects and will assign them on a first-come, first-served basis. I
hope as many people as possible are interested and I also hope to assign
items on a "cluster" basis so people will be writing in an entire area.
An example might be when you pick similar subjects, such as:

        Unitarianism
        Price, Richard
        Priestley, Joseph
        Lindsey, Theophilus
        Millennialism
        Rational Dissent
        Dissenting Academies
        Doddridge, Philip
        Freethinkers and Freethought
        Lunar Society
        Religious Toleration
This would make a vry nice package for someone to do, I should think.

Each item has a word length which does not include a short bibliography
words, Garland will send him/her a free copy of the Encyclopedia. For each
word over 1,000, Garland will credit $.10 per word toward free Garland
books (Garland has a terrific list). Ergo, you write 3,000 words, you
will receive the Encyclopedia and $200 worth of books.

Publication is guaranteed, a great help in this continuing era of "publish
or perish."

Here is the list at this moment with word lengths in parentheses (I should
add that I am Co-Editor for Religion and Philosophy, hence the items reflect
those areas--some items are assigned, hence are deleted):
