Subject:      Seminar: History & the Disciplines in Early Modern Europe

     The Foundation for Intellectual History -- in collaboration with the
International Society for the History of Ideas and the _Journal of the History
of Ideas_ -- will hold its 3rd post-graduate seminar at the Folger Shakespeare
Library in Washington, D.C. (1-19 August 1993) on "History and the Disciplines
in Early Modern Europe."  The disciplines to be considered include the history
of philosophy (including moral and political philosophy), natural and human
science (especially anthropology), and literature (including the history of the
language).  Visitors will include Hans Aarsleff, Anthony Grafton, Nicholas
Jardine, Donald R. Kelley (director), Anthony Pagden, J.G.A. Pocock, Timothy
Reiss, J.B. Schneewind, Londa Schiebinger, and Donald Verene.  Members of the
seminar will have time for research in the Folger Library and opportunity to
make their own presentations.  Travel, lodging, and living expenses are covered
by the Foundation, and a small amount of money is available for scholars with
family responsibilities.  Deadline for applications is April 1 1993.  Appli-
cants with a reading knowledge of Latin, French, German, or Italian as well as
English, should send a curriculum vitae and at least one letter of recommenda-
tion by a senior scholar in early modern intellectual history to: Prof. Donald
R. Kelley, Rutgers University, 88 College Avenue, New Brunswick, New Jersey

Someone out there has probably been wondering whether it is really necessary
to know what kind of dog it was that was carrying Pope's immortal couplet,
and I agree.  But the Pleasures of the Abstruse and a certain Shandyistic
sympathy, together with a few runs and re-runs of Sherlock Holmes on TV,
invite me to continue the chase.  So we have Nash's guess that His Highness'
dog at Kew was probably the offspring of Pope's large dog, Bounce, a Great
Dane bitch.  A moment ago I read Roy Flannagan's guess, that the said dog
was probably a King Charles spaniel, visible in paintings of that period.
I think the Chapter of Dogs may end here, though of course any subscriber
out there, being restive and dissatisfied with a DOUBLE TRUTH, may want to
know which guess is correct.

Well!  After Linda Troost's contribution we seem to be moving toward the
realization that doggydog is not merely an individual manifestation but is
really part of the *zeitgeist*.  Did any other freshman geniuses also use
that term independently and for the first time?  Alas, poor dogsbody . . . .
I think that my favorite dog, 1660 to 1800, is not Pope's subject at Kew
but Tabitha Bramble's mutt, Chowder.  If you haven't met that dog, or its
owner Tabitha, you're missing the experience of a really good book.

     Let's see -- many computer centres have "unread mail" and old
file removal policies, which have nothing to do with the privacy of
you e-mail, really, but with the amount of resources the centre wants
to dedicate to user mail.  For important e-mail files, I would recom-
mend downloading them to your own computer discs, or archiving them

Subject:      Re: doggy-dog world--source

I'm amazed, Peter, that YOU had that student.  I've "always" thought that my
source for "doggy-dog world" was an essay on freshman writing that appeared
in one of Wayne Booth's books (or possibly as an essay in a journal?).  If my
memory is correct, then we want to know the date of Booth's essay, in order
to determine priority of appearance.  If they appeared very close together,
then we have another case of (forgive me!) Darwin and Wallace--both of whom,
we recall, were much interested in the doggydoggedness of our world.
     Since this is an eighteenth-century discussion group, it seems not only
appropriate but even necessary to remind you that a fairly well-known poet of
that era once wrote "I am my mistress' dog at Kew . . . ."

Right, John, of course it was "dog-eat-dog world"--in fact, I was
musing on that today--thinking of the Iliad when the dogs refuse to
nibble on Hector's body [as was the custom evidently after battles for
curs to do] and how that was a sign of the gods' favor. And then I
thought of poor Jezebel--I think they left her hands and feet--
Obviously it's a rough world indeed when the carrion eaters eat
each other.

Subject:      Re: E-Mail

Mail (and incoming files on a VM system) is stored in spool on many systems.
VM and UNIX work this way and perhaps VMS does also.  This is generally a
common area that individuals don't pay for.  When it fills up, systems
generally crash.  So, many sites have procedures for cleaning up spool when
it reaches some percent of capacity.  I don't know anything about legal
issues here.  At Penn State, we move mail to a holding area but trash other
types of files in your reader.  There is an involved list of rules on what
is kept and what isn't.  Simple solution is to receive your mail to your own
disk space.  Then, since you are paying for it, you can control how long it
lasts.

   HOPOS-L, the History of Philosophy of Science Discussion List, has
   been established in conjunction with the new History of Philosophy of
   Science Working Group (HOPOS) as a forum for the exchange of
   information, ideas, queries, job notices, course syllabi, conference
   announcements, and other news of interest to scholars working in
   areas related to HOPOS's main focus.  The discussion list will also
   be used to distribute occasional HOPOS newsletters.

   The topical focus of HOPOS-L is intended to be quite broad, covering
   all periods in the history of the philosophy of science, from
   antiquity to the twentieth century, extending to related areas of
   investigation in the history of logic, mathematics, and the natural
   and social sciences, and including, as well, diverse methodologies,
   ranging from more internalist, history of ideas approaches to more
   externalist, social and institutional history.

   This is a LISTSERV managed list, so normal subscription requests
   apply.  To subscribe, send mail to LISTSERV@UKCC or on the Internet

     Bill,

     Thanks for the info.  I had procured a copy of the text you
sent earlier, but seeing it again made me re-read it - which
finally made the thing work.

     If there are others out there trying to get INTERNET mail onto
the FIDONET, make sure you have all the information!  That includes
the following numbers: the Point (whatever that is), the NET, the
FIDONODE, and the ZONE.  With all four numbers the address is very
long but it works from my account with CompuServe.

     N.B. Make sure that if you are going to use a FIDO address as
your mailing list address that you clear this with the local FIDO
net co-ordinator.  This is a lot of mail and this may or may not
cause a good bit of consternation depending on the load already on
a local BBS.

As far as I've been able to tell, none of the early US population census

that is, for every household, the name of the "head of family," # free

I'm not a historian or a documents librarian, but an academic computing

Dear Colleagues,

        Temma Berg of Gettysburg College has asked me to inquire whether any
of you know of a biography-in-progress of Charlotte Lennox.

        You may address replies to me and I will pass them on by phone:

                        SL43@umail.umd.edu (Susan S. Lanser, U of Maryland)

        Thanks.
