‘Entertaining the President’: Chester Arthur and Newport, 1882-1885
No full textEmily Parrow and Michael A. Davis, the authors of “‘Entertaining the President’: Chester Arthur and Newport, 1882-1885,” have created a meticulous account of Chester Arthur’s various visits to Aquidneck Island and its environs during the first half of the 1880s while he served as president of the United States. Drawing from copious documentary evidence including newspaper accounts, letters, diaries, published memoirs and secondary sources, the two authors have constructed a colorful narrative of Arthur’s visits when he mixed some official business with social engagements as wealthy summer residents vied for his presence at elaborate luncheons and soirees. The two authors also describe the sojourns when Arthur eschewed the intense social churn in Newport to pursue his love of fishing at the West Island Club, off Sakonnet Point in Little Compton. Despite his mingling with upper-class friends and acquaintances, while in Newport Arthur attended to naval business and once hosted a reception attended by hundreds of Newport residents from all walks of life. Emily Parrow serves on the Preservation Society of Newport County’s advancement team. She is a member of the Straw Dog Writers Guild’s advisory board and the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Her work has been published by Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History and Woodhall Press. Michael A. Davis is a Professor of History at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is the author of Politics as Usual: Thomas Dewey, Franklin Roosevelt, and the Wartime Presidential Campaign of 1944, published by Northern Illinois University Press in 2014

The storage battery
Get PDFCitation: Foster, Louis Cloyd and Maus, Chester Arthur. The storage battery. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1904.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: The first storage cell was invented in 1801 by M. Gautherot but not until 1881 was it used to any extent. There is record of the application of a storage battery in England in that year. The first battery installed in this country was at a central station in Phillipsburg, Pa., in 1885 while 1889 marks the beginning of the general application of the storage battery in the commercial world. The storage battery or accumulator consists of two inert plates of metal or some oxide of metal placed in an electrotype which is incapable of acting upon than chemically, until by the action of an electric current passed through the cell, the nature of the material on the plates is changed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
