# The Gradual Acceptance of the Copernican Theory of the Universe/Preface

PREFACE
THIS study does not belong in the field of astronomy, but in that of the history of thought; for it is an endeavor to trace the changes in people's beliefs and conceptions in regard to the universe as these were wrought by the dissolution of superstition resulting from the scientific and rationalist movements. The opening chapter is intended to do no more than to review briefly the astronomical theories up to the age of Copernicus, in order to provide a background for the better comprehension of the work of Copernicus and its effects.
Such a study has been rendered possible only by the generous loan of rare books by Professor Herbert D. Foster of Dartmouth College, Professor Edwin E. Slosson of Columbia University, Doctor George A. Plimpton and Major George Haven Putnam, both of New York, and especially by the kindly generosity of Professor David Eugene Smith of Teachers College who placed his unique collection of rare mathematical books at the writer's disposal and gave her many valuable suggestions as to available material. Professors James T. Shotwell and Harold Jacoby of Columbia University have read parts of this study in manuscript. The writer gratefully acknowledges her indebtedness not only to these gentlemen, but to the many others, librarians and their assistants, fellow-students and friends, too numerous to mention individually, whose ready interest and whose suggestions have been of real service, and above all to Professor James Harvey Robinson at whose suggestion and under whose guidance the work was undertaken, and to the Reverend Doctor Henry A. Stimson whose advice and criticism have been an unfailing source of help and encouragement.

There are several reasons why The Incomplete Amorist is deserving of attention. To begin with, it treats old and well-worn material in a new and whimsical way. Those who insist upon classifying novels would call it a story of Paris studio life [...] Yet never before was a Vie de Bohême so strangely and so innocently pictured as in this unique book by E. Nesbit. It certainly takes an effort of the imagination to conceive of an inexperienced and unprotected young girl, the daughter of an English vicar, living quite alone for a year in the Paris art colony, unconsciously skirting the margin of many a pitfall. . . .

# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Slavery in Illinois

Slavery in Illinois.
Some of the Democrats of Illinois have already commenced advocating the introduction of slavery into that State. The Mattoon Gazette, published in Southern Illinois, urges arguments for the measure as follows:—
‘We are one of those that utterly discredit the idea that the presence of slaves works an injury to the whites, or that the presence of free negroes, enjoying political and social privileges, is at all beneficial. We candidly and firmly believe to-day, that if Illinois were a slave State, the best men of Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and even States further South, would be here as soon as they could remove their families, and the prairies of Illinois would be made to smile as a lovely garden. We have seen the best class of men come to our State, admire it with enthusiasm, but return to their homes because they could not bring their whole families with them.
‘The question comes up squarely to every business man in Illinois: Which would you rather do, make slaves of your family, or provide a comfortable home for some of the enslaved African race? It is a clear case, that when Illinois voted slave labor out of her limits, she voluntarily voted upon the white females of Illinois a life of unmitigated drudgery, unsuited to the tastes and physical capacity of a large majority of them, and drove from our midst a people peculiarly adapted to such services, without benefitting them in the slightest degree. When will the day of practical benevolence arrive, when we shall have done with this eternal empty profession of mock philanthropy, when it will not be called emancipation to offer inducements to the slave-traders of the South to buy the negroes of Missouri and send them South in chain gangs!’
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Radical Abolitionists

​Radical Abolitionists. Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mr. Brown (who was once a slave,) and Mr. Powell, have been holding meetings in Ahwaga Hall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last. On Monday evening, Miss Anthony delivered an able address on Female Education. On Tuesday evening, she lectured on Slavery. Miss Anthony is a pleasing speaker, and whatever subject she discusses, no person can mistake her meaning, or fail to be moved by her earnest pathos, however much he may dissent from her conclusions. Mr. Brown has experienced all the blessings of slavery. He acknowledges that he now is not his own, but the property of a few women in England who bought him of his former master, who, he says, is his uncle. Mr. Powell is a good debater, and knows his subject well. In their discussions, they hit the Democrats some hard blows, and the Republicans suffered some too. They boldly take the position that the Union ought to be dissolved. In this particular, we essentially differ from this class of politicians.—Owego Times.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Rev. John Angel James's Opinion of the Dred Scott Decision

Rev. John Angel James’s Opinion of the Dred Scott Decision.
The Independent of the 11th publishes the following letter from the well-known English preacher and author, Rev. John Angel James, dated Birmingham, May 9th, 1857, to his friend, the Rev. W. Patton, D.D., of New York:
‘The decision of your Supreme Court fills us with astonishment, horror and indignation. It is, indeed, the most terrible outrage upon humanity that has been perpetrated for ages, and will do more to lower the moral character of your country than even the present system of slavery. All Europe and the whole civilized world will blush for you. It is the first time, that I know of, when a whole race was put without the pale of social life on account of the color of their skin. Will your country submit to it? Can it be conceived that the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers will bow to so horrible a rebellion against the precepts of Christianity and the dictates of reason?
‘My dear brother, what are the Eastern States about, that they do not rise en masse against this dictum of a few men upon the bench? However, there is one hope. It is so bad, and shows so clearly the advance of the slaveocracy in your country, that it must help on, eventually, the cause of abolition. The American Union of the states appears to me to be becoming an idol, before which your people are willing to make the most costly sacrifices of moral principles. Anything so that the Union be preserved. If it is attempted to be preserved in this way, God, with one of the thunder-bolts of His vengeance, will by-and-by shiver it to pieces.
‘I read with admiration Cheever’s eloquent papers in the Independent. Oh, he is a noble champion, not only for the rights of the negro, but for the honor of your country!’
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Poems by Frances Ellen Watkins

​Poems by Frances Ellen Watkins. We have before us a little collection of poems upon miscellaneous subjects, which we desire to commend to the notice of the contemners of the colored race, as an evidence of what that depressed people can accomplish in the field of general literature. The authoress, Miss Watkins, is a young lady of color, a native of Baltimore, and still resident there. She is very favorably known as a public speaker. She is about 22 years of age, of pleasing appearance and interesting manners, and one who is destined, we anticipate, to aid largely in the elevation and redemption of her sisters and brethren.
The poems in this little paper-covered volume—of which the tenth thousand has been issued—are, as Mr. Garrison says in an appropriate Introduction, ‘very creditable to her, both in a literary and moral point of view, and indicate the possession of a talent which, if carefully cultivated and properly encouraged, cannot fail to secure for herself a poetic reputation.’—Salem Observer.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Reminiscences

Reminiscences.
Dear Yerrington:
You and I were play fellows in boyhood, some five and forty years ago! Indeed, I believe you are, now, the only person, except my own relatives, of whom I have so long a remembrance, extending back, as you will bear me witness, to incidents in the war with Great Britain in 1812. So quickly does time pass away! And, now, I find my old friend toiling at the case on The Liberator, a most honorable employment, and devoting his best days to the cause of Human Freedom. May he have gratitude for the present, and hope for the future—hope for himself, and for the whole human race!
Here is a letter I received, as you will see, from Mr. Garrison, twenty-six years ago. It is interesting as having been written in his ‘first love,’ and will enable us to see whether he has backslidden or not. I submit it to you, with a hope that it may find a place in The Liberator.
Yours, truly, Laroy Sunderland.
Boston, September 14, 1857.
☞We thank our old friend, as we are sure the readers of The Liberator will, for the privilege (with the editor’s consent) of laying this heroic and heavenly tempered letter before the public. Our ‘honorable employment’ of ‘toiling at the case on The Liberator,’ to which our friend alludes, though at times wearisome to the flesh, is nevertheless a delightful task, and always strengthening to the soul and spirit.—Y.
Boston, Sept. 8, 1831.
Dear Sir:
I labor under very signal obligations to you for your disclosures, relative to my personal safety. These do not move me from my purpose the breadth of a hair. Desperate wretches exist at the South, no doubt, who would assassinate me for a sixpence. Still, I was aware of this peril when I began my advocacy of the cause of the slave. Slaveholders deem me their enemy; but my aim is simply to benefit and save them, and not to injure them. I value their bodies and souls at a high price, though I abominate their crimes. Moreover, I do not justify the slaves in their rebellion: yet I do not condemn them, and applaud similar conduct in white men. I deny the right of any people to fight for liberty, and so far am a Quaker in principle. Of all men living, however, our slaves have the best reason to assert their rights by violent measures, inasmuch as they are more oppressed than others.
My duty is plain—my path without embarrassment. I shall still continue to expose the criminality and danger of slavery, be the consequences what they may to myself. I hold my life at a cheap rate: I know it is in imminent danger: but if the assassin take it away, the Lord will raise up another and a better advocate in my stead.
Again thanking you for your friendly letter, I remain, in haste,
Yours, in the best of bonds, Wm. Lloyd Garrison.
To La Roy Sunderland.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Satanic Democracy

Satanic Democracy.
The following resolution was adopted by the Democratic State Convention of Wisconsin, met at Madison on the 27th ultimo:—
Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to the extension of the right of suffrage to the negro race, and will never consent that the odious doctrine of negro equality shall find a place upon the statute book of Wisconsin.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Slave-Catching in Maryland

​Slave-Catching in Maryland. A letter, dated Washington, Sept. 6, says:
‘A few days since, about seventeen slaves, including both sexes, were permitted by their masters, residing in this city, to attend a camp-meeting toward the north part of the State, (Maryland.) After getting their spiritual strength renewed, they concluded to turn their faces toward the land of the free, and had almost succeeded in reaching a place of safety, when the stampede became known. A drover in Baltimore offered to capture the fugitives for a share of the sale money to the cotton plantations of the South. The owners having agreed to his proposition, he went in pursuit, and brought back nine of the party, who were yesterday put en route for the cotton fields. The profits to the catcher, I am told, amounted to more than $2000. The rest of the party have not yet been captured.’
# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Thomas Deckar

Thomas Deckar.
This Author was a Contemporary of Ben. Johnson's, in the Reign of K. James I. and his Antagonist for the Bays; he Writ Eight Plays entire, and four others assisted with Webster, Rowley, and Ford, in all Twelve, which take as follow.
Fortunatus, a Comedy, 4to. 1600. stiled, Old Fortunatus. This Play is not divided into Acts; the story is taken from the stitch'd Book of Fortunatus.
Honest Whore, the First Part, with the Humours of the Patient Man, and the Longing Wife; a Comedy, 4to. 1635. Acted by her Majesties Servants with great Applause.
Honest Whore, the Second Part, with the Humors of the Patient Man, and the Impatient Wife, also the Comical passage of an Italian Bridewel, a Comedy, 4to. 1630. This Play is not divided into Acts, nor ever, (I suppose) Acted. See Harrington's Epig. at the end of his Orlando Furioso.
If this b'ent a good Play, the Devil's in't; a Comedy, 4to. 1612. a Play then Acted with great Applause by the Queen's Majesties Servants. See Machiavel's Novel of Belphegor.
Match me in London, a Comedy, 4to. 1631. This was then accounted a good Play and often Acted both at the Bull in St. John's-street, and in Drury-Lane.
Northward Hoe, a Comedy, 4to. 1607. sundry times Acted by the Children of Paul's. John Webster joined with our Author in this Play. See Ducento Novelle del Signior Celio Malespini, part I. Nov. 2.
Satyromastyx, or, The Untrussing the Humorous Poet, a Comedy, 4to. 1602, presented Publickly by the Right Honourable the Lord Chamberlain's Servants, and privately by the Children of St. Paul's. ​Ben. Johnson's Poetaster (wherein he is severe on this our Author) occasioned the Writing of this Play.
Westward Hoe, a Comedy, 4to. 1607. This Play was divers times Acted by the Children of Paul's. Mr. Webster also was concerned in producing this Play.
The Whore of Babylon, a History, 4to. 1607. Acted by the Prince's Servants. This Play was design'd to expose the Roman Catholicks, especially the Jesuits at that time, and sets forth the excellent Virtues of Queen Elizabeth, and the many Dangers she escaped.
Wyat's History, 4to. 1607. In this Mr. Webster joined with him, and is a Play Mr. Langbain never saw. See the English Chron. in the Reign of Queen Mary.
The Witch of Edmonton, a Tragedy, 4to. 1658 In this Play Mr. Rowley and Mr. Ford joined with him.
The Wonder of a Kingdom, a Comedy, 4to. 1636.
He likewise writ with Mr. Philip Massenger, the Virgin Martyr, and with Mr. Middleton, the Roaring Girl.
# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Thomas Dogget

Tho. Dogget.
An excellent Comedian, now living, who dealing daily in the Products of Parnassus, found himself inspired with the Vein of Poetry, that has spread so far among his Brothers of the Stage, and has given us a very diverting Play called,
The Country Wake, a Comedy, Acted at the New Theatre in Little Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, by his Majesty's Servants, 1696, 4to. Dedicated to the Illustrious and truly Noble James, Duke, Marquess, and Earl of Ormond, in England and Ireland, &c. This Play was well received, but whether it was owing to the admirable Account of the Author, or his Writing, or to both, I leave to the Reader; that it has Merit, is not to be doubted, nor do I know of any remarkable Thefts from other Plays, unless the imitation of Shakespear's Clowns, in the Character of Hob, which I look on as a praise to Mor. Dgget, and no Fault.
# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Thomas Dilke

Thomas Dilke.
A Gentleman now living, who (as I am informed) was some time a Student of Oriel Coll. in Oxon, has since quitted the Camp for the Theatre, and Mars for Apollo; he has given the World two Plays with different Success, the last of which comes first in order.
The City Lady, or Folly Reclaimed, a Comedy Acted by his Majesty's Servants, at the Theatre in Little Lincolns-Inn-Fields, 4to. 1697. Dedicated to Fisher Wentworth, Esq; This Play, as the Author tells us in the Epistle, miscarried in the first Night's ​Representation, and owns he has not hit the Humours of the Town in some of his principal parts.
The Lover's Luck, a Comedy, Acted at the Theatre in Little Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, by his Majesties Servants, 4to. 1696. Dedicated to the Right Honourable the Lord Raby.
This Play, as the Author takes care to inform us, met with a general Applause. As to the Characters, they are most but Copies, Sir Nicholas Purflew, of the Antiquary of Marmion; Goosandelo, of Sir Courtly, and Sir Fopling, &c. I won't say, that the Poet had the Sharpers in the Squire of Alsatia in his Eye, when he drew Eager, &c. but there is some resemblance.
from The Appendix
Thomas Dilke.
THIS Author has lately publish'd another Comedy, call'd, The Pretenders; or, The Town Unmask'd, a Comedy, acted at the Theatre in Little Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, by his Majesty's Servants; and dedicated to Thomas Barnadiston, of Ketton, in Suffolk, Esq; I have little to say to this Play, for 'tis not fair to attack a Man that's down, tho' I do not think (considering what Plays have pleas'd) that this ought to have met with so severe a Fate. Vainthroat seems a Copy of Medley, and Scandal; Sir Bellamour, a faint Shadow of the Plain Dealer, or at least of Blunt in The Committee; Captain Bounceby we have had in various Plays, as The Squire of Alsatia, Old Batchelor, Epsom Wells, &c. Since the Miscarriage of this Play, the Author died.

# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Thomas Duffet

Thomas Duffet.
He was before he became a Poet, a Milliner in the New Exchange, he has writ four Plays; two of them in a Burlesque Stile, their Names follow.
The Mock Tempest, or, The Enchanted Castle, a Farce, 4to. 1675. Acted at the Theatre Royal by his Majesty's Servants. Writ on purpose to draw Campany from the other Theatre, where was great resort about that time, to see that reviv'd Comedy, call'd, The Tempest, then much in vogue.
Psyche Debauch'd, a Comedy, 4to. 1678. Acted at the Theatre Royal by his Majesty's Servants. This Mock Opera is a Burlesque on Shadwell's Psyche, and writ for the same purpose as that above.
Spanish Rogue, a Comedy, 4to. 1674. Acted at the Theatre Royal by his Majesty's Servants, and Dedicated to Madam Ellinor Guin. This Play had no great Success.
There is likewise a Masque under his Name omitted by Mr. Langbain, 'tis call'd,
Beauties Triumph, presented by the Scholars of Mr. Jeoffery Banister, and Mr. James Hart, at the new Boarding School at Chelsey, Printed, London 4to. 1676.
