The Lenape Talking Dictionary
No full textLenape (also known as Delaware), an important language of the Algonquian family, was spoken originally in all of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and southeastern New York. The tribe was relocated in stages through western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, central Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and finally Oklahoma. Members of the tribe preserved the language into the 20th century, with the last native speaker remaining fluent until her death in 2000. The author was adopted informally into a Delaware-speaking household in 1963 and over the years gained increasing fluency in the language. The co-author began working with the author’s adoptive aunt, Nora Thompson Dean (Touching Leaves Woman)1907-1984), as a graduate student and continued working jointly with another fluent speaker and with the author after the aunt’s death. Over his years of working with the aunt and other speakers, the author compiled a library of tape recordings which have become the nucleus of the Lenape Talking Dictionary website (www.talk-lenape.org). The site provides information about the speakers whose voices are heard and offers a practical orthography, as well as a survey of grammatical patterns. The site currently has about 13,000 entries, 4,650 of which are accompanied by sound files, and over 1,100 sentence sound files. Most entries include a grammatical analysis showing how individual words are formed. We also have been adding lessons about the language as part of the website. Our original grant funds ran out over a year ago, but additional entries are constantly being added on a daily basis. The site is available to members of the Delaware tribe who are interested in their ancestral language and to scholars and members of the general public who wish to learn about the language. The author and co-author will show images from the site and demonstrate how the site is set up, and how it offers a self-guided learning opportunity. The project was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation

His Majesty's advocate : Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713) and Covenanter resistance theory under the Restoration monarchy
No full textThis thesis is the first to explore the life and political thought of Sir James
Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713). The first part reviews the life of his father, Sir
James Stewart of Kirk field (1608-1681) to 1661, and Goodtrees' own life from birth
to his admission to the Scots bar in 1661. This provides the backdrop of history
necessary to appreciate his contributions as both writer and radical activist.
Particular attention focuses on the conflict between Charles I and Charles II, on the
one hand, and the Church of Scotland, on the other; the National Covenant (1638)
and the Solemn League and Covenant of(1643); the British wars of religion; and
the upheavals following the Restoration in the 1660s, culminating in the Pentland
Rising of 1666.
The next part develops Goodtrees' political philosophy from his two most
important writings. Chapter 3 reviews and interprets Naphtali (1667), a defence of
those who rose at Pentland. Chapter 4 reviews Andrew Honyman's Survey of
Naphtali (1668, 1669), a rebuttal of Naphtali and standard Anglican case for royal
absolutism. Chapter 5 reviews and interprets Goodtrees' Jus Populi Vindicatum, or
The People's Right, to defend themselves and their Covenanted Religion, vindicated
(1669), his rejoinder to Honyman. His Calvinist, covenantal constitutionalism is
shown to be an important link between earlier resistance theorists like John Knox
and Samuel Rutherford and the later Whigs, represented preeminently by John
Locke.
The third part (chapters 6-7) reviews Goodtrees' life and minor writings as radical critic of the Restoration monarchy; a participant in plots among British
exiles in Holland to overthrow it; a member briefly of James's Scottish government
before the Revolution; and lord advocate and churchman pursuing political, legal,
and ecclesiastical reforms afterwards
