message: Piddling small point, I know, but Who Was Who in America lists him as having been born in Newburgh, New York.  Which is right?  Badbilltucker 15:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Place of Birth?

message: Arthur in a "Brief Autobiography" written for 1852's The Lights and Shadows of Real Life reports that he was born "near Newburgh, Orange County, New York."  In "Godey's Portrait Gallery, #1:  T. S. Arthur," published in the November 1844 Godey's Lady's Book, an anonymous author reports that Arthur was born "near New Windsor, in the state of New York."  Donald Koch, in his unpublished PhD dissertation The Life and Times of Timothy Shay Arthur reports that Arthur was born in "Orange County near Newburgh, New York..." (1).
New Windsor is directly adjacent to Newburgh, but perhaps the most accurate thing to write is that Arthur was born "near Newburgh."

message: I have a book titled, The Wife, A Story For My Young Countrywomen, by T.S. Arthur, 1845, and it is not listed in the works of Timothy Shay Arthur. It was published by Henry F. Anners in Philidelphia. Does anyone know why it is not on his works list? (Barberbook 14:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: OK, I've updated the list of Arthur's works.  Arthur wrote and published a lot, as you can see.  Some of these publications are pamphlets consisting of just a few stories, or even an isolated tale.  But most that I've seen are full-length tale collections or novels of 200-300 pages.  In many cases, the tales are reprints of those Arthur had published in Godey's or other magazines, but not all are. Nor have I seen much evidence of duplication.  
I'll continue to make additions or changes as needed.

thread_title:  Arthur's Publications 

message: Poe is named as a member of the Seven Stars in Donald Koch's introduction to Ten Nights in a Bar-Room (1964), p. xxiv, and John French's "Poe's Literary Baltimore," published in the Maryland Historical Quarterly June 1937, pp. 101-112.  I don't have access to the major biographies of Poe right now, but will check them when I can.  That Poe and Arthur moved in the same Baltimore circles is verified by other minor figures in Baltimore letters, such as John Hewitt, Lambert Wilmer, and Nathan Brooks.  Arthur (and his co-editor John McJilton) mention Poe several times by name in their Young Men's Paper, which began publication in 1834.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcmolin (talk • contribs) 15:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Yet another Wikibias article filled with words and phrases like:
"demonize"
"Virtually forgotten now"
"insinuated itself in the public consciousness"
"often ruined by strident moralism and pious sentimentalism" 
"ideas seem simplistic, even oppressive"
Virtually no citations given (2 citations in the entire article) just the moralistic opinions of the article's author(s)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkeator (talk • contribs) 16:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
