Patrick C. May letter to Governor Robert Lucas, August 22, 1835
No full textThis letter was written by Patrick C. May to Governor Robert Lucas on August 22, 1835. May wrote to Lucas on behalf on the volunteers in Adams county who did not react when initially called to duty because they were unsure if Lucas authorized them to act. May also asks what the pay would be for volunteers.To his Excellency R. Lucas, Esq Respected Sir, You will have the goodness to ponder a stranger for this intrusion, but rest assured Dear Sir that this communication comes from one who is a lover of his country and ever ready to vindicate her rights. Yesterday our Reg. Met in West Union and only 21 Volunteers could be obtained who were willing to defend our State!" A part of this number beg the privilege (if consistent) of receiving from you an order authorizing us to receive Volunteers enough to form a Company and appoint officers; The reason why we make this request is from the fact that a number have manifested a regret that they did not Volunteer when they had an opportunity. A want of proper energy on the part of the Govt Offices has caused the tree of Liberty to blush in Adams county. Again, (if consistent) could you give s some information relative to the pay of a Volunteer So, it might have a salutary affect upon the minds of some. We would like for those two requests to be granted. Yet Sir, we ask for nothing, but what may be consistent with your feelings and the strictest rules of propriety. I am with due regard your very humble and oft servt. Patrick C. May In behalf of the Volunteers 2nd Reg. 1s

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
