No full textAbstract: Letter written from Tuscaloosa in 1834, to his aunt, Mrs. Robert W. Withers of Erie, Greene County, Alabama, and a biographical sketch, author and date unknown, which includes information on Clay's political career, wedding, and friends.Scope and Content Note: The collection contains an 1834 letter written from Tuscaloosa to his aunt, Mrs. Robert W. Withers of Erie, Greene County, Alabama and a biographical sketch, author and date unknown, which includes information on Clay's political career, wedding, and friends.Biographical/Historical Note: Clement Claiborne Clay, Jr., the oldest son of former Alabama senator and governor, Clement Comer Clay, was born on 13 December 1816, in Huntsville, Alabama. He graduated from the University of Alabama in 1834 and from the law department of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, in 1839. He was admitted to the bar in Alabama in 1840. He married Virginia Tunstall in 1843; the couple had several children.Clay was elected to the Alabama State House of Representatives in 1842, 1844, and 1845, and then served as a county judge in Madison County, Alabama from 1848 to 1850. He ran for a seat in the United States Congress in 1850 but was not elected. Later, in 1853, the Alabama legislature elected him to serve in the United States Senate in the term beginning on 4 March 1853. However, because of the legislature's delay in filling the position, he actually only took office on 29 November 1853, and served until 21 January 1861, when Alabama seceded from the Union at the beginning of the Civil War. He was subsequently elected by the Alabama Confederate legislature as Senator in the First Confederate Congress, where he served from 1862 until 1864.Although he declined the position of Confederate Secretary of War in Jefferson Davis' Cabinet, he and Jacob Thompson headed the Confederate secret agents. They had employed John Wilkes Booth for some services before Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln, and due to suspicions that Clay was involved in an assassination plot, Clay and his wife were arrested and imprisoned in Fortress Monroe in Washington, DC, in 1865, where they were held for approximately one year.When the Clays were released, they returned to his plantation in Jackson County, Alabama, where he devoted himself to agricultural pursuits and to his law practice. Clement Claiborne Clay, Jr. died on 3 January 1882

‘Do larger molars and robust jaws in early hominins represent dietary adaptation?’ A New Study in Tooth Wear
No full textDiet imposes significant constraints on the biology and behaviour of animals. The fossil record suggests that key changes in diet have taken place throughout the course of human evolution. Defining these changes enables us to understand the behaviour of our extinct fossil ancestors. Several lines of evidence are available for studying the diet of early hominins, including craniodental morphology, palaeoecology, dental microwear and stable isotopes. They do, however, often provide conflicting results. Using dental macrowear analysis, this new UCL Institute of Archaeology project will provide an alternative source of information on early hominin diet. Dental macrowear has often been used to analyse diet in archaeological populations, but this will be the first time that this type of detailed study has been applied to the early hominin fossil record
The Historical Example in 1 Clement
No full textThis publication is with permission of the rights owner freely accessible due to an Alliance licence and a national licence (funded by the DFG, German Research Foundation) respectively.While previous research emphasised deliberative rhetoric employed by 1 Clement (van Unnik; Bakke), the current paper offers continued investigation on the function of historical examples as part of its argumentative strategy. The author of 1 Clement addresses the congregation in Corinth with an appeal to let concord and peace be the foundation of their community life, instead of strife and dissension. Illustrative parallels for 1 Clement can be found in contemporary writings by Dio Chrysostom, Aelius Aristides and Plutarch. They argue likewise in favour of concord by giving positive and negative examples from the past that reveal its benefit for household, polis or nation. 1 Clement adapts this widespread rhetoric strategy to expose the devastating role of jealousy for the Corinthian community, both for brotherhood and leadership. In addition, it promotes repentance and righteousness as positive values. Examples from the Greek Bible and from contemporary Christianity are thus fitted into Greek rhetorical tradition to form paradigmatic narratives for fellow Christians. 1 Clement therefore reveals a mode of reference to biblical tradition that is highly influenced by contemporary culture.Peer Reviewe
From Glorious Past to Miserable Present: First Clement on the Organisation of the Corinthian Community
No full textFirst Clement provides valuable insights concerning the formation of the earliest Christian communities. The author models Christian ministry on the institutions of Israel. At the same time, the community structure, reflected in the letter, appears to have much in common with the Roman household. It is worth remembering, however, that Clement does not provide us with a holistic view of the community. His writing is circumstantial, dealing with the schism within the Corinthian congregation. Accordingly, the author is first and foremost preoccupied with solving this problem. To achieve this goal, Clement appears to adopt a strategy which was common at that time by using deliberative rhetoric. Clement associates the past with authority, norm or ideal, which he refers to in order to deal with the present turmoil in Corinth. This emphasis on the past distinguishes this letter from other writings of the Apostolic Fathers from roughly the same time period, such as the Didache or Letters of Ignatius, which locate the ideal in the future, in the eschaton. The emphasis on the past in First Clement may be explained by the author’s use of particular rhetorical conventions of the time. The author juxtaposes the imagery of the past and the present of the Corinthian community. In so doing, Clement provides a challenging and, at the same time, appealing model, which the community is encouraged to adopt in the future
