Excerpt from The Battle of Campbell's Island Some years ago, when I first read an account of the engagement on July 19, 1814, between the Americans and Black Hawk's band at Campbell's Island, I became anxious to learn more of the particulars. I was disappointed in finding but slight if any mention of this affair in the histories of our country. One history of Illinois devotes a little over a page to this battle, and another about a page and a half. These are the most extended notices that this battle has ever received. Since reading my first account, I have from time to time found mention of this engagement, and in the following pages I present such information as I have secured. This sketch is not intended as an expression of opinion on the merits or demerits of any person connected with this engagement; it is simply a compilation of facts, arranged and put together, so that any who may be interested in this event, can secure such information as I have been able to gather, without going to the trouble of consulting numerous authorities, most of which are beyond the reach of the ordinary reader. I wish to here thank General F. C. Ainsworth, the Military Secretary, for his courtesy in securing for me a copy of the official report of this battle, made by General Benjamin Howard to Hon. John Armstrong, Secretary of War, and copies of the official reports of this battle made by Lieutenants Campbell and Riggs, to their commanding officer, General Benjamin Howard. These reports clear up a great deal that has heretofore been but mere conjecture, and add much that was heretofore unknown.

Excerpt from The Queen of the Isle: A Novel Sometimes during the summer, pleasure parties were held here, but in the winter all was silent and dreary on the lonely, isolated little spot. This island had been, from time immemorial, in the possession of a family named Campbell, handed down from father to son. The people of the surrounding coun try had learned to look upon them as the rightful lords of the soil, to the manner born. The means by which it had first come into their possession were seldom thought of, or if thought of, only added to their reputa tion as a bold and daring race. The legend ran, that long before Calvert came over, a certain Sir Guy Camp bell, a celebrated freebooter and scion of the noble Scot tish clan of that name, who for some reckless crime had been outlawed and banished, and in revenge had hoisted the black flag and become a rover on the high seas, had, in his wanderings, discovered this solitary island, which he made the place of his rendezvous. Here, with his band of dare-devils - all outlaws like himself - he held many a jolly carousal that made the old woods ring. In one of his adventures he had taken captive a young Spanish girl, whose wondrous beauty at once conquered a heart all unused to the tender passion. He bore 03 his prize in triumph, and without asking her consent, made her his wife at the first port he touched. Soon, however, tiring of her company on shipboard, he brought her to his island home, and their left her to occupy his castle, while he sailed merrily away. One year afterward, Sir Guy the Fearless, as he was called, was conquered by an English sloop-oi-war; and, true to his daring character, he blew up the vessel, and, together with his crew and captors, perished in the explosion.

In the first collection to be devoted to this subject, a distinguished cast of contributors explores expurgation in both Greek and Latin authors in ancient and modern times. The major focus is on the period from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, with chapters ranging from early Greek lyric and Aristophanes through Lucretius, Horace, Martial and Catullus to the expurgation of schoolboy texts, the Loeb Classical Library and the Penguin Classics. The contributors draw on evidence from the papers of editors, and on material in publishing archives. The introduction discusses both the different types of expurgation, and how it differs from related phenomena such as censorship.

The War of the Worlds (1898), by H. G. Wells, is an early science fiction novel which describes an invasion of England by aliens from Mars. It is one of the earliest and best-known depictions of an alien invasion of Earth, and has influenced many others, as well as spawning several films, radio dramas, comic book adaptations, and a television series based on the story. The 1938 radio broadcast caused public outcry against the episode, as many listeners believed that an actual Martian invasion was in progress, a notable example of mass hysteria.
