Excerpt from Printing and the Renaissance: A Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club of Rochester, New York This chapter opens with the founding of the scriptorium, or monastic copying system, by Cassiodorus and Saint Benedict early in the sixth century. To these two men, Cassiodorus, the ex-chancellor of the Gothic king Theodoric, and Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine I order, is due the gratitude of the modern world. It was through their foresight in setting the monks at work copying the scriptures and the secular literature of antiquity that we owe the preservation of most of the books that have survived the ruins of the ancient world. At the monastery of Monte Cassino, founded by Saint I Benedict in the year 529, and at that of Viviers, founded by Cassiodorus in 531, the Benedictine rule required of every monk that a fixed portion of each day be spent in the scriptorium. There the more skilled scribes were entrusted with the copying of precious documents rescued from the chaos of the preceding century, while monks not yet sufficiently expert for this high duty were instructed by their superiors. The example thus nobly set was imitated throughout all the centuries that followed, not only in the Benedictine monasteries of Italy, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, but in religious houses of all orders. It is to the mediaeval Church, her conservatism in the true sense of the word, her industry, her patience, her disinterested guardianship alike of sacred and of pagan letters, that the world owes most of our knowledge of antiquity. Conceive how great would be our loss if to archaeology alone we could turn for the reconstruction of the civilization, the art, the philosophy, the public and private life of Greece and Rome.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Club for the Study of Anthropology: Organized at Yonkers, March 2, 1888; Program The Fortnightly Club for the Study of Anthro pology had its origin in the desire of those who became its original members to meet together for the study and discussion of matters of intellectual interest, apart from technical science on one side and from mere liter ature on the other; matters that should be of a con siderable range and variety, associated with facts and objects of personal observation, appealing to individual minds. It was desired that the meetings, while thus of a general scientific nature, and therefore somewhat formal in character, should be private, in order to insure freedom of discussion, and to preserve the feeling of a social bond.

Excerpt from Webster's Work for the Union: A Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club, Newark, New Jersey The following paper was prepared for the purpose of bringing out a little more distinctly than elsewhere (1) the plight from which Daniel Webster rescued the constitution; (2) the fact that in March, 1850, he was not behind the spirit of the times in dealing as a statesman with the menacing problem of slavery; and (3) that his personal opinions on the subject of slavery were quite in harmony with the sane sentiment of his countrymen in the decade before the civil war. For the use of the portrait of Webster I am indebted to Houghton, Mifflin Co., by whom it was published in Lodges Life of Webster; and to J. B. Lippincott Co. for the facsimile of a letter by Lincoln to Chase, published by them in Lee's True History of the Civil War.

Excerpt from The Theme of Hamlet a Paper: A Paper; Read Before the Fortnightly Club of Rochester, N. Y It would seem to be the duty of one who pro poses to discuss the theme of Hamlet; to begin with an apology. Every one who rises to speak in a debate which has continued for over one hundred years, ought humbly to crave the indulgence of his audience and preface his remarks with a declaration of his willingness to vote in favor of a motion for the previous question. This I do. My confidence, in submitting these investigations, is inspired by the trust that my readers will be like minded to a writer in Blackwood's Magazine who says We ask not for a picture of the whole landscape of the soul nor for a guide who shall point out all its won ders. But we are glad to listen to every one who has traveled through the kingdom of Shakespeare. Some thing interesting there must be in the humblest jour nal, and we turn with equal pleasure from the converse of those who have climbed over_ the magnificence of the highest mountains there, to the lowlier tales of less ambitious pilgrims who have sat on the green and sunny knoll beneath the whispering tree and by the music of the gentle rivulet.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Club When I began taking notes of the proceedings of our Fortnightly Club I had no idea of the length - and depth - to which they would lead me. I was in the early stages of learning shorthand, and welcomed the chance of practice. A great deal of what I took down was of very slight interest, and quite disjointed; but the series of addresses in which Professor Launceston opened several of our debates had a consecutive interest which made them constructive parts of a single whole, working to a conclusion of which I had no glimpse when I began recording them. I do not know how far Launceston foresaw at first. I am sure that he did not start with an idea of giving us, in successive addresses, a thought-out plan of the way and purpose of the evolution of terrestrial life: he would have thrown keen scorn on the idea had it been suggested. But I know that his subject gripped him, as he came to grips with it. He liked putting his thought into words and hearing its sound and seeing how it might he received, and it gave him rest from the experiments with poison gases which was his special war work - for the war was in the third year of its evil life at the time. I do not suppose that Launceston's thought actually grew as he went along. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
