# Preface

Culture vs. Copyright just happened to me, and maybe because of that it is neither a strictly scientiﬁc investigation nor a purely ﬁctional, political or autobiographical work. I cannot determine its genre. It is what it is. If I wanted badly to label this book, I would call it the diary of a naive philosopher. “A diary of what events?” you may ask.

## Version II, Somewhat Fictitious

It all started accidentally. I was talking to colleagues and happened to mention an educational experiment I had participated in, in the past. It was related to the School of The Dialogue of Cultures (SDC). The theory of SDC has been developed cooperatively among philosophers, scientists, and educators in the Ukraine and Russia. The foundation of that School’s educational process is dialogue and is comprised of at least two elements. First, a subject is presented to the students not as the firm and absolute truth but as a source of questions. Second, teaching is not done in the traditional manner but organized through dialogue and exploration. These ideas may sound pretty casual to the modern ear, but when specifics were considered the theory and practice of SDC appeared rather unique, effective, and appealing to my colleagues. They were intrigued by experiments I described. For instance, I told a story of first graders enthusiastically debating the human soul with Plato and Aristotle. And there were many examples of the kind. That conversation with colleagues started a chain of events which culminated in another experiment with five Bay Area first graders who had dreamed of becoming famous writers. During after-school activities we agreed to work on “exclusive rights.” Because exclusive rights are important to writers, they and their parents enthusiastically agreed to participate. The experiment, in turn, resulted in this diary, where my thoughts alternate with slightly edited shorthand records of our discussions.
I have not used the debaters’ real names here, but refer to them with letters of the Greek Alphabet. I do so for several reasons. First, the kids and their parents did not want the real names published. Second, I follow a tradition of certain philosophical texts. Third, real participants do not fit exactly in the characters of the book. Finally, as the author it just feels right to me this way.

## Version III, Somewhat PoeticVersion III, Somewhat Poetic

             This book is written many times
             At once.
             That is,
             A scrupulous reader
             Will easily extract
             Every idea
             Many times
             From chaotic dialogues, that
             Five wonder kids conducted
             And
             From deliberations
             I have done, as well.
             What do I want?
             It’s to remind you
             What you already know
             About life in some respect.
             And thus, I want to ask
             Why don’t we put
             Two and two together ? ! .
And now, on to our dialogues with the ﬁrst graders! ​

Covington Stock-Yards Company v. Keith
The qualified acceptance of the bond given on this appeal shows that the judge who took it considered the security only sufficient for a stay of the execution of that part of the decree appealed from, which was for the payment of money. Under these circumstances, the appeal only operates as a supersedeas to that extent. As the appeal was taken within 60 days after the rendition of the decree, Mr. Justice MATTHEWS, the justice of this court assigned to the Sixth circuit, has power, under section 1007 of the Revised Statutes, to grant, in his discretion, a further stay of execution, if application to him for that purpose is made. For this reason the present motion is denied.

United States Supreme Court
39 U.S. 43
Covington v. Comstock
IN error to the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Mississippi.
An action was instituted in the District Court of Mississippi, by the defendant in error, on a promissory note, dated at New York, March 2, 1836, by which Covington and M'Morris promised to pay four thousand five hundred and sixty dollars and four cents, six months after date, to Nelson, Carleton, and Company, at New York. The note was endorsed by the drawees to the defendant in error, David A. Comstock.
The declaration on the note omits to state the place where the note was payable; and on the trial, the note was offered in evidence, and objected to by the defendant. The Court allowed the note to be given in evidence; on which the defendant tendered a bill of exceptions; and a verdict and judgment having been rendered for the plaintiff, this writ of error was prosecuted.
The case was argued by Mr. Cocke, with whom was Mr. Key, for the plaintiff in error: no counsel appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Cocke contended that it was necessary to state the place at which payment of the note was to be made; and to prove a demand at that place.
2. That the note being joint, a separate action could not be maintained upon it.
Nothing is clearer, than that a declaration on a note payable at a particular place, should state the place of payment. The omission to do this is fatal. Cited, Bailey on Bills, 429. 3 Campbell's Rep. 453. Chitty on Bills, 321. 14 East, 500. 15 East, 110. 5 Taunt. Rep. 7. 3 Campbell, 248, and note.

# Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/Diary continued, September 8 to September 13

​8th.Monsieur D'Overkirk and several of that gang dined with me. After dinner, Burgomaster Mays came to me; he has a very good understanding, he would be glad to do Mr. Bracey any service, except bringing him into the town; but for the place of Drosser, he will assist him all he can.
10th.The Prince sent for me to go to Monsieur Van Beuninghen before I went, which I did, and found him still in the same opinion, and being against the guarantee; and now he saith that the Parliament will not like that we should engage to maintain France in the height it is now; he has no mind to guarantee the peace, and is afraid to enter into an act of guarantee for securing the Spanish Low Country. After I was with him, I went to Breda, where I found the Princess; soon after the Prince came; a kind meeting.
11th.I went with the Prince to see the fortification, which was very fine; the soldiers work there; the horse have sixpence, the foot three-pence per day. In the afternoon they were drawn ​out, and then they looked as well as ever I saw any. Collier's and Mackay's troops are much better than Wesley's. After that I went to see two woods, one of fir, the other of oaks, both very fine. I supt with Lady Inchiquin.
12th.I came from Breda at three in the morning; the Prince at the same time. After dinner, Monsieur Van Beuninghen came to me, and told me he approved of the guarantee, and added some words: he is mightily concerned for the King and Kingdom, and insists much on our treating with Spain.
13th.The Prince sent to me at eleven o'clock, to let me know that he would dine with me. I had before invited Monsieur Sas, Secretary of the Admiralty at Rotterdam, and Monsieur de Wylde, Secretary of the Admiralty at Amsterdam. After dinner, I spoke to him of Mr. Bracey; he saith he will do him all the service he can. I told him Monsieur Van Beuninghen had been with me, that he seems now well satisfied with the guarantee, and that he was gone to Amsterdam to propose it. The Prince thinks it indifferent whether it be treated of here or in London, but, because of this addition, he thinks it would be best there. I wrote to Sir William Temple, and sent him some boxes of pills and beef. I received some letters.
# Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/Diary continued, September 4 to September 7

​4th.I staid at home till after dinner, when Mr. Landineau came to me; he told me he had been with his master. I saw some fine troops, and fifty-two sail of ships; in the evening, I went to see Monsieur Campricht; he told me that the States owed sixty millions, that they paid 31/2 interest for; then I went to Monsieur Rounswinkle, who assured me of his friendship, and that he would let his master know of my favour to him.
5th and 6th.Mr. Brasey was with me, spoke to me of his business of being Drosser of Bois le ​Duc. He told me that the two hundredth penny was half per cent.; that they paid taxes for land that was under water. I went afterwards to dinner to Monsieur Odyke, where the Prince was after dinner; I spoke to him first about the Duke's being King of the Romans; he said there were many difficulties, the Emperor having sons, and he did not know the Duke would approve of it. As to his coming over, he would speak with me in a day or two; he did not yet know of what advantage it would be. I told him the greatest advantage that was proposed to him, was that my friends thought it was the best means of doing him service, and consequently the nation. I told him the Duke would never inherit the Crown, and he is of that mind; and if the succession is not settled somewhere, it will certainly turn to a Commonwealth; he did also agree with me when I read that part of my letter that gave me order to press for powers to Monsieur Van Lewen to treat, and I asked him if I should move it; he desired me to forbear for a day or two, as Monsieur Van Beuninghen was gone to Amsterdam, to see what ​humour they were in there, and till he was returned he was unwilling any thing should be done.
7th.I dined at Hounslerdyke; after dinner I walked with the Prince above an hour. I told him several reasons why he should go into England; he was unapt to believe it would do any good; but I told him the Monarchy was absolutely lost, unless he recovered it. He is convinced the Duke will never have the Crown, and I find would be very willing to be put into a way of having it himself. He desired me to write to Lord Sunderland, to know what was the best time for him to come over, and if there was any expedient to be found to absolve him from taking the oaths of allegiance.

# Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/Diary continued, November 6 to November 10

​6th.Lord Sunderland was with Shaftesbury: he could do no good with him; he saith it will not be in his power to do the King any service. He was to be with him again this afternoon, to advise him to part with the Queen and the Duke, but he would not come after Lord Sunderland had been with him.
Lord Sunderland told me he had been with the Dutch Ambassador, and that he advised us as a private friend that we should agree with what number of ships and men we were to help one another.
7th.I was with my Lord Halifax, and found him out of humour: he told me of Lord Shaftesbury and Montague coming into favour. At night I found Lord Sunderland out of humour; he told me that the Committee of Intelligence was put off, and that there was a council to be held on Monday, to consider what was to be done about this plot.
​8th.I went to my Lord President. He desired to know if there are many statesmen in Holland; and if the Pensioner was one.
9th.My Lord Sunderland was ill, but yet was at church. Sir Harry Capel intended to move for a new Parliament, but there is nothing to be done for the present.
10th.The King went to see a ship launched. Lord Halifax told me he thought the Prince would do well to come over; he is very irresolute what to do; the King is unsatisfied with him and Lord Essex. Lord Sunderland told me he thought the King would do well to speak to every one at the Council, and hear what they can say concerning the Parliament. I writ to the Prince of Orange.
# Diary of the times of Charles II/Volume 1/Diary continued, September 14 to September 16

​14th.I was at the French church. After dinner I went to Hounslerdyke, and acquainted the Prince with the letters I had received from the Duke, that mentioned his coming over, and withal said he thought his journey would not be disadvantageous. The Prince went by water not far from Moredyke to shoot. Mr. Meredith was with me, and told me he heard the Duke of Orleans would pretend to the Upper Palatinate, which was given to the Elector of Bavaria at the Treaty of Munster, unless the Elector would pay him a sum of money which he pretended was due to him, and that the King of France had given order to Monsieur Jerviss to be present at the Diet at Ratisbon, to give his voice as a member of the Empire. I went afterwards to Mr. Rockwood; he told me that the French Ambassador said we took very ill measures, for we had disobliged all the world in assisting of France, and now we had displeased her, and obliged nobody; he thinks the King of France does pretend to this of the Palatinate to fright ​Bavaria, for, if the Elector should marry a daughter of the Duke of Neuburgh, he would have an interest from the Alps to Holland. He would be glad if the Elector Palatine would marry again, and thinks of my Lady Anne. He told me how this Freeman writ of his negotiations, and I find he writes many lies, as that my Lords Halifax and Essex and two more had writ to the Duke to come over.
​16th.Mr. Carr told me of one Vandastrade, who said that the King was married to Mrs. Barlow. The Duke sent to inquire of this man, and finds that he only said that my Lord Garrard and Croft told him 'twas the King said so. This is a mean fellow who lives at Amsterdam. I writ for leave.

​31st. August.I received letters from Mr. Mountstevens and others; all speaking of the King's indisposition. Mr. Cox came from Brussels. He told ​me how the Duke asked a hundred questions about me; that he did not speak well of Lord Sunderland; he gave me some reason to suspect Fitzpatrick; told me what abundance of money they had; he is angry at Sir Greorge Wakeman's coming to Brussels. Mr. Rockwood dined here, and told me how troubled they were, because there was no heir to the Elector, who will not be persuaded to marry again. His son hath no children, and the Palatinate will go to the Duke of Neuburg, who is a Papist.
