Science, Literature and Revolution: The Life and Writings of Dyson Carter

In a professional writing career that spanned more than fifty years, Canadian author Dyson Carter produced hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles, dozens of short stories, and seventeen books, including five novels. The bulk of his output was devoted to the popularization of science, the exploration of the relationship between science and society, and the exposition of his political beliefs. Some of his writing was self-published or issued by marginal organizations, but in the 1930s and 40s his articles and stories appeared in prominent newspapers and magazines in Canada and the United States. Three of his early books were issued by American commercial publishers, and were widely and respectfully reviewed in both countries. By comparison with other writers who have had this kind of exposure, it might be expected that Carter would be mentioned in standard reference works on Canadian literature. Yet his name does not appear in the Oxford Companion to Canadian History and Literature (1967) or its supplement (1973), or in the Oxjord Companion to Canadian Literature (1983, rev. 1997); he is not mentioned in the Literary History of Canada (1965) or its supplements; he is likewise excluded from the Canadian volumes of the Dictionary of Literary Biography. A search of reference books on Canadian literature turned up only three citations: a very brief biography and bibliography in Clara Thomas' Canadian Novelists 1920-1945 (1946), a listing of his name, year of birth, and the titles of three of his novels and one non-fiction book in R.E. Watters' Checklist of Canadian Literature (1959), plus a passing mention in W.H. New's History of Canadian Literature (1989). The reason for Carter's exclusion from most Canadian literary histories is not difficult to discover. For much of his adult life he was a member of the Communist Party of Canada (CPC). Like Norman Bethune, he was a victim of the collective hostility and amnesia that seized Canadians during the Cold War. Unlike Bethune, however, no economic rapprochement with Communist countries, not even the end of the Cold War, has reclaimed Carter's reputation. Fortunately, in 1985 the National Archives of Canada accepted from Carter a collection of his books, pamphlets, and articles, which provides a substantial record of his various careers as scientist, writer, editor, publisher, and political activist. Personal information about him, however, is more difficult to come by. The most comprehensive source, in fact, is Carter's last published novel, This Story Fierce and Tender (1986), which appears to be a thinly disguised account of his childhood and early adult life. The use of autobiographical fiction as a source of biographical informa-

Implications of socio-cultural contexts for the ethics of clinical trials.

Health technology assesment (HTA) requires scientifically rigorous experimentation involving patients as subjects. HTA itself is required so that treatment given to patients will be both effective and efficient; this requirement is itself ethical in nature. At the same time it is essential that the methods used in HTA are ethically sound. Most healthcare researchers agree that the most effective and soundest method for assessing treatments is the randomised controlled trial (RCT). However, some researchers believe that the RCT is unethical, either in essence, or for use in some forms of medical research and HTA. Furthermore, many patients seem unable to understand the principles and purposes of the RCT, a factor which is highly detrimental for the validity of informed consent. Informed consent is the key to the ethics of medical research, both in most theories and in all codes of research conduct. Many RCTs therefore risk being unethical in practice, even if ethical in principle. To survey the main objections to the RCT and its alternatives. To assess the philosophical and methodological basis of these objections, and of the methods recommended for addressing them. To identify areas where objections are founded in social or cultural factors normally overlooked in ethical argument about the RCT methodology. To identify alternative arguments or methods which might resolve ethical conflicts in this area. The methods used were adapted from systematic reviews in medicine. Systematic searches of Medline, Psychlit and Sociofile CD-ROM databases; hand-searches of the major journals in general medicine and surgery, medical ethics and philosophy; and searches of books were carried out. The literature survey was restricted to articles published or abstracted in English. A database of the most relevant and useful materials was compiled, and is accessible on the Internet (http://www.liv.ac.uk/sdthomps/page1.html). UNDERSTANDING RCTS AND THEIR ALTERNATIVES: There is some evidence of difficulty in understanding the aims and methods of RCTs, and some disquiet about elements of the RCT methodologies. These objections are well known and much discussed, and concern the use of placebo, the continuation of trials after significant differentials in benefit or harm are apparent, and randomisation. There was an absence of evidence of cultural or religious objections to randomisation, placebo or other kinds of controlled prospective trials. This most likely reflects an absence of research rather than absence of objections. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED)

Local poets and libraries

A survey by questionnaire was conducted in order to obtain details of criteria employed in libraries in the shelving of the works of local poets in local collections or on the main poetry shelves. The general extent of interest in book search and purchase of such works, and provision of venue facilities involving local poets reading their work were also determined. A considerable variation in shelving policy was found. More publicity for the local poet and his work is advocated, together with the ideal of large regional collections, such as achieved by the Northern Poetry Library.

The clinical value of computerized information services. A review of 98 randomized clinical trials

To review all randomized clinical trials addressing the efficacy of clinical information systems and to determine the clinical settings, types of interventions, and effects studied. Extensive and systematic MEDLINE searches were conducted using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) and textword terms to collect trial reports. Manual searches of books and monographs as well as informal contacts were also used. The eligibility criteria were (1) randomized controlled clinical trial, (2) computerized information intervention in the study group, and (3) effect measured on the process or outcome of care. Two research assistants independently abstracted from the selected reports the following structured information: trial sites, computerized interventions, effect variables, and outcomes. Three investigators evaluated the combined list of trial features for setting, intervention, and effect. The statistical analysis included an evaluation of agreement in developing classifications and an analysis of the ratio of positive trial outcomes. Most information services were tested in outpatient care (82%), particularly in primary care (66%). The information intervention targeted the provider in 64% of the trials. The effect was primarily measured for the process of care (76%). Provider prompt/reminder, computer-assisted treatment planner, interactive patient education/therapy, and patient prompt/reminder were significantly successful interventions (sign test, P < .05). Randomized clinical trials confirm that four generic information interventions are active ingredients of computer systems and can make a significant difference in family medicine (physician and patient reminders, treatment planner, and patient education). To manage care and improve quality, primary care computer systems should incorporate these effective information services.

Irish Chapbooks in the Huntington Library

by John Simons Although chapbooks were printed and sold enormous quanttiies Ireland the nineteenth century, few examples survive. As consequence, perhaps, they have attracted little scholarly attention.1 These notes describe group of twenty-six Irish chapbooks the Huntington Library, originally produced by two provincial printers: Walter Kelly, who flourished Waterford between 1816 and the mid-1830s; and G. M. Goggin, who worked Limerick at about the same time.2 The Irish chapbook industry, like its counterparts England and Scotland, depended chiefly on large rural audience search of inexpensive books. These readers could obtain chapbooks from itinerant peddlers, market stalls, and shops, where few cheap books were stocked alongside other merchandise. Walter Kelly proudly advertised that he was supplier to country dealers, and chapbooks were plainly common feature of the Irish rural scene. Describing the sale of chapbooks the early nineteenth century, writer to The Irish Book Lover remarked that in every country town [chapbooks] were exposed on tables the streets for sale, and the markets resembled Leipsic [sic] fair.3 In 1843 Thackeray recorded that Galway man who sold hunting whips has few books on his counter, and he wrote that Ennis could be found a decent little library, where I bought for eighteenpence, six volumes of works strictly Irish, that will serve for half-hour's gossip on the next rainy day.4 The books he describes-and those the Huntington Library-are just such as would have been sold at fairs and through local general stores for few pence to poor but literate consumers. The chapbooks at the Huntington, each of them collections of handful of popular songs, follow uniform pattern. Each contains woodcut on the title page; very often vignette, usually naturalistic design, appears on page 8. Like most chapbook printers, Kelly apparently relied on relatively small stock of woodcuts that he used number of different texts. In this collection, three are used repeatedly: woman eighteenth-century dress at mirror (mirror-type); man walking alone beside lake (solitary-type); and three men (two seated, one standing) at table, apparently debating (debate-type). Nonetheless, Kelly attempted to match his limited stock to the subject matter of the songs the chapbooks. The chapbooks containing The Exiled Irishman's 359

Books and the Woman: Postscript

BOOKS AND THE WOMAN: POSTSCRIPT ISOBEL GRUNDY University of Alberta I n literary-historical detection one hardly expects a case to be closed. No matter how many usual and unusual suspects are rounded up, some wild card remains liable to surface without warning from the depths of the un­ plumbed past. In “Books and the Woman: An Eighteenth-Century Owner and Her Libraries” (ESC 20:1 [1994]: 1-22) I anticipated with hope rather than anxiety the emergence of further books bearing Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s signature. I expected that such books would be among those she owned at the age of fifty, in 1739, but which were lost from her library some time before 1928, when her descendants had it catalogued. Lady Mary used oddly abbreviated signatures in most of her books, only rarely “MWM” or her three full names; nevertheless one might reasonably expect the eventual resurfacing of some of the 300-odd vanished books that she once owned. Since that article was printed there has been no shortage of new informa­ tion; but none of it slots comfortably into the gaps in knowledge that have already been charted. Instead it raises doubts or opens new lines of enquiry. In one of her very few unpublished and rediscovered letters, Lady Mary Pierrepont (later Wortley Montagu) gives a friend her first adult impres­ sions of West Dean near Salisbury, her late grandmother Pierrepont’s house, where she had lived between the ages of three and nine.1 This letter might seem to threaten my theory that the earliest nucleus of her library came from this grandmother. The twenty-one-year-old Lady Mary found the house, the furnishings, the parson, and the books all intolerably antiquated. The last comprised “the Famous History of Amadis de Gaul, and the book of Martyrs, with wooden Cuts” : that is, a fifteenth-century chivalric romance (based on even older materials), and John Foxe’s best-selling work on the sufferings of early Protestants, dating in its English version from 1563, with notori­ ously gruesome woodcuts. Could these be representative of Elizabeth Pier­ repont’s choice? The answer is probably no. She had once owned her grand­ daughter’s copy of Barclay’s Argents, but this sophisticated seventeenthcentury romance has little in common with Amadis. She had probably re­ jected that and Foxe as outmoded, long before Lady Mary did the same. My imperfect information about authorship has continued to grow. The “Che Zade” credited with writing a Histoire de la Sultane et des Visirs, 373 Contes Turcs (1708), in Lady Mary’s list of 1739, is the person usually known as Seyhzade or Sheikh Zadah; the translation has been ascribed to Fïançois Petis de la Croix, but the Eighteenth-Century Short Title Catalogue says it is by “King William and others.” Lady Mary’s anthology of philosophical writings by Locke, Leibnitz, and others, edited by Pierre Desmaiseaux in 1721, was originally the brainchild of the Abbé Antonio Conti, a friend and correspondent of hers. Desmaiseaux took it over from him,2 and it was likely because of Conti that Lady Mary owned a copy. Here, as so often, her intellectual interests prove to have been closely intertwined with her personal relations. The search for more books bearing her signature has turned up two widely separated volumes; but they are not losses from her list of 1739, where neither appears. The Tinker collection at Yale contains her copy of La Vie de Marianne by Marivaux, 1736-37, in eight parts, whose title-pages variously claim to have been printed at London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Avignon, and whose fly-leaves bear her “Ma.W.” The Arents collection in the New York Public Library has her copy of Nicholas Culpeper’s The English Physitian Enlarged, in which, for once, she wrote her full name.3 Both these titles extend her total list, though not the number of authors on it. The potentially most significant but also most baffling discovery records an oddity of behaviour on the part of Lady Mary’s husband. He endorsed, that is supplied the title for, the rather rough but lengthy “Catalogue Lady Mary Wortleys books Packed up to...

"We are not the Cleavers": Images of Nontraditional Families in Children's Literature

"We are not the Cleavers":Images of Nontraditional Families in Children's Literature* Suzanne Bunkers (bio) I grew up in what many would call a traditional family; that is, one composed of two married, heterosexual parents and biological children.1 My moally all the housework and cared for the five children in our three-bedroom rambler, while my father worked as a rural mail carrier. In our town of 400 in rural Ios nonexistent, single parenthood occurred only through the death of one's spouse, "illegitimacy" was extremely shameful, and adoption took place as a last resort for those married couples whom God had not blessed with "natural" children. Today I live in a nontraditional family. I am the single parent of a six-year-old daughter, Rachel. Along with our three cats, we live in an older two-story house in a working-class neighborhood of Mankato, a town of about 45,000 in south-central Minnesota. Rachel's father and I never married; her primary home is with me, and she spends occasional weekends with her father in a nearby town. Like many of you, I grew up steeped in the adventures of Dick, Jane, Sally, Mother, Father, Spot, Puff, and Tim. Typical stories in readers like Helen Robinson et al.'s Fun Wherever We Are (1962), had titles like "Come and Ride," "Look in Here," "Will Spot Run Away?", and "Do Something Funny."2 As a child, I quickly learned that a proper family had two married, heterosexual parents with clearly defined gender roles; children of both sexes; clean and docile pets; and money enough for a house in the suburbs, a late-model automobile, and family vacations. It never occurred to me to question this model until much later, when I discovered that not every family had two parents, that not all parents were heterosexual and/or married, that not all families were biologically constituted, and that not all children and pets were polite and obedient. This discovery led to my search for children's books that depicted the [End Page 115] wide variety of families that I knew existed.3 I will note at the outset that I have not undertaken a scientific search. Rather, I have sampled the children's books available in my community and university libraries as well as those carried by local and regional bookstores. In addition, I have sampled the children's books in our family library, with an awareness that those books reflect an interest in many kinds of family structures. My hypothesis is that images of nontraditional families in children's books have increased greatly in recent years, mirroring the greater visibility of nontraditional families in our culture, and that this development is a healthy one. Based on my analysis of approximately one hundred children's books, what observations can I make about images of nontraditional families in popular literature for children?4 First and most importantly, the families depicted in these books are decidedly not like that of June and Ward Cleaver. Many are single-parent families; some are stepfamilies; others are extended families including several generations; some are adoptive and foster families. Some recent stories portray a grandparent, aunt, or uncle who has sole responsibility for his or her grandchild, niece, or nephew. Children's books are beginning to acknowledge the fact that not all families are constituted heterosexually; lesbian and gay families figure in several of the books I've sampled. More books are being written about families in which physical, mental, and emotional challenges play a central role. Unemployment, poverty, sexual abuse, and the deaths of family members are all subjects dealt with in children's books published during the past ten to twenty years. In some families, individuals of all ages live together, unrelated biologically or adoptively. In other cases, older persons lovingly care for children who visit rather than live with them. In contemporary children's books, parent figures are not always protective; children are not always nice; life is not always easy; difficulties are not always overcome. In short, children's books are breaking silences about subjects that were rarely, if ever, explored in depth in the popular literature of earlier...

The Search for the Manila Galleon Log Books

Spanish merchant ships, called Manila Galleons, made the roundtrip between the Philippine Islands and the ports on the west coast of what is now Mexico, almost every year for the 250-yr period between 1565 and 1815. The log books of these galleons contained weather information which was thought to be of value in the study of the historical climatology of the tropical and midlatitude areas of the Pacific Ocean. A search was made for the log books of the Manila Galleons to determine how many are still extant and the nature of the weather data that they contained. The search was made with the assistance of expert historians and paleographers who were experienced in searching archives where the log books were thought to be on file. The following archives were searched: the Museo Naval in Madrid, Spain; the Archivo General de Simancas in Simancas, Spain; Archivo De Indias in Seville, Spain; Archivo General de la Nacion in Mexico City, Mexico; and the National Archives in Manila, The Philippine Islands.

A qualitative study of computers and printouts in the classroom

This qualitative inquiry into using microcomputers to access an on-line electronic encyclopedia revealed the salient issues for eighth-graders in using computer technology and what they valued in their videotex experience. Assigned to gather information both electronically and from traditional library materials to write a science theme, students with no prior computer experience exhibited very little technological apprehension. Nearly all the students preferred electronic search by computer to print search in books and periodicals. Underlying student reports appeared to be the perception that using a computer relieved them from the process of note-taking and some editing judgments that using print materials would require. Overall, middle-school students in this situation readily accommodate computers and videotex within their ongoing school context but assigned the new technology greater value than traditional learning media.

On the Use of Vector Quantization for Connected-Digit Recognition

Recent work at AT&T Bell Laboratories has demonstrated the efficacy of vector quantization in greatly reducing both the computational and memory requirements of isolated-word recognition systems. This efficiency is obtained at the expense of a marginal decrease in performance, and thus is an attractive approach. The purpose of this paper is to report on the results of a series of experiments in the application of vector-quantization strategies to a small-vocabulary, connected-word recognition task. Several strategies are investigated, including the use of speaker-trained code books versus universal code books, the use of binary and higher-order tree searches versus full searches of these code books, and the quantization of both test and reference frames versus reference frames only. For various strategies, the effect on error rate of varying the code-book size is also reported. Results indicate that the vector quantization approach is attractive for linear predictive coding-based connected-digit recognition.

The problem-oriented system and record keeping in the behavioral therapies.

The Problem-Oriented System (POS) provides systematic guidelines for health care record keeping. Behavioral therapy records share, with health care records in general a quality of inadequacy for contemporary needs. Likewise, behavior therapy training shares with other health care training inadequate attention to record-keeping. This conclusion arises from a search of recent journals and books concerned with behavior therapy issues. This article reviews the POS and proposes that is guidelines and advantages are suited for incorporation into behavioral therapy training. The expected result of such training should be records more amenable to audit or review for such purposes as third party payment, supervision, and peer review. Research is needed to help select the record-keeping training methods that would best meet these contemporary needs for increased quality in the documentation of health care provision.

The Life and Times of Boyd v. United States (1886-1976)

In Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616 (1886), the Supreme Court held that the fourth and fifth amendments create a zone of privacy encompassing an individual's person and property. The government, according to Boyd, cannot enter this zone, either by compelling an individual to testify against himself or by subpoenaing or seizing his books and papers for use as evidence against him in a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding. The Court found an “intimate relation” between the two amendments such that the search and seizure of books and papers may be “unreasonable” even if conducted pursuant to a court order. Over time, both societal and judicial notions of property and privacy have changed dramatically. In addition, varying public reactions to the problem of crime in the United States have been paralleled by shifting judicial views on the limitations on the government’s constitutional power to apprehend and prosecute criminal suspects. These trends have been reflected in the gradual erosion of the “intimate relation” doctrine and the elimination of the protection that Boyd afforded to individual liberty. During the October Term, 1975, the Supreme Court accelerated this process when it all but overruled that landmark decision. This Note will trace these trends and examine the demise of Boyd.

“Twenty-Four Arguments”: Sir Robert Cotton Confronts the Catholics and the Church of England

The subject of this essay is a tract written by the noted antiquary, legalist, parliamentarian and sometime courtier, Sir Robert Cotton. Entitled, “Twenty-Four Arguments,” and composed sometime between March, 1617 and early January, 1618, it dealt with the problems posed to the English State and Church by the Roman Catholics and concerned itself, in particular, with the question of whether Popish priests should be executed or imprisoned for life.The “Twenty-Four Arguments” appeared under that name in the Cottoni Posthuma, a collection of Cotton's writings, published in three editions between 1651 and 1679. However, the first actual publication of this treatise occurred in 1641, when it was put out independently by two printers, each giving it a different title. In addition, it is quite likely that the tract circulated in manuscript before it appeared in printed form.This brief excursion into the publication history of the “Twenty-Four Arguments” indicates that it was the subject of interest at an important moment in English history. Thus, while admittedly a lesser known and minor work of the period, it is worthy of our consideration. In fact, to the historian the “Twenty-Four Arguments” presents, I think, three important features which make it of real significance. First, it is the product of one of the outstanding lay minds in early seventeenth century England. Sir Robert was, of course, a man of intense learning who displayed a scholar's love for knowledge in his search and accumulation of manuscripts and books, in his concern with antiquities and legal history, and in his close association with such brilliant contemporaries as Sir Francis Bacon and John Selden.

The Use of TAAB in Out-of-Print Book Searching

A Preliminary List of Incipits of Latin Works on the Virtues and Vices, Mainly of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Centuries

This preliminary list of incipits grew out of a card-file which I made to help me in the preparation of The Seven Deadly Sins published in 1952. It has been much expanded as a result of study in various libraries abroad and of a systematic search of certain manuscript catalogues and books. It can provide, I think, the nucleus for a complete list of incipits of Latin works on the virtues and vices, although at present it is far from complete or free from errors. Guides of this sort, I know from experience, can be of immense help in the wilderness of medieval manuscripts and through the labyrinth of medieval bibliography. I have no illusions about its state of perfection, but, inasmuch as the final form of this type of work must depend on the labors of many, someone must offer his contribution as a first step.
