The chronostratigraphy of Pleistocene deposits in south east London: a methodological assessment
No full textRecent work by Nunn has proposed a denudation chronology at variance with the sedimentologically based framework outlined by Macklin for high level Pleistocene deposits of south east London. It is important to evaluate the merits of these respective methodologies from which Pleistocene events are formalised. -Author</p

‘The Great Bowyer Bible’: Robert Bowyer and the Macklin Bible
No full textThis article examines an iconic example of grangerizing: the Macklin Bible extra-illustrated in 45 volumes by London artist and bookseller Robert Bowyer (1758‐1834) in the first quarter of the nineteenth century (Bolton Libraries and Museums, Bolton, United Kingdom). The principal focus is on the Bowyer Bible as an example of an extra-illustrator’s close engagement with its source publication. The author argues that Bowyer’s practice responds not only to the Bible or the King James Bible, in general, but also to the Macklin Bible, in particular. The article discusses how the Bowyer Bible engages with the Macklin Bible specifically and how it reflects a broader range of concerns in its visual engagement with the Bible. It demonstrates that Bowyer’s curation of biblical visual material evidences both his professional interests as a connoisseur of prints and his personal interests in the visual culture of the Bible that reflect his own piety as well as contemporaneous developments in the study of the scriptures. Other matters discussed in the article are the original function of this Bible, as well as the extent to which it reflects and is distinctive from contemporaneous extra-illustrated books
Predicting Dangerousness and the Public Health Response to AIDS
No full textIt is argued on ethical grounds that public health measures to
control the spread of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) must rely on
voluntary efforts, rather than on mandatory quarantine or isolation of
infected individuals. Although state interference to prevent harm to third
parties is accepted when criminal behavior is involved, application of the
harm principle is controversial in other contexts. Using the analogy of
involuntary commitment of the mentally ill, where prediction of dangerousness
is based on past behavior, the author points out that testing for HIV
antibodies can give a yes-or-no answer to whether a person is infected.
However, because there is little basis for predicting whether the person will
act to infect others, only people who are known wantonly to jeopardize others
should be isolated. Macklin also examines the special situations of prisoners
and prostitutes, as well as the social impact of mass invasions of privacy and
denial of civil rights. (KIE abstract

Prudentius' "Psychomachia" : A Reexamination /
No full textPrudentius' Psychomachia, written about A.D. 405, has been studied by classicists, medievalists, and general literary historians. Nevertheless, scholars have barely explored the allegory's inner workings or related it to its historical context. The present study remedies this critical neglect and its attendant misreadings.The author arrives at a coherent, unified interpretation by examining the work's major features in relation to the poet's life and times. He contends that the poet balanced an affirmation of Christian allegory with an ironic negation of pagan literary tradition. For this remarkable achievement his audience was the aristocracy, still largely pagan at a time of intense antagonism between the Church and old Roman religious institutions.Originally published in 1976.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.Prudentius' Psychomachia, written about A.D. 405, has been studied by classicists, medievalists, and general literary historians.
