Voltaire and the Century of Light
Natural Religion and Deism in America before Ethan Allen and Thomas Paine
T 1IMOTHY Dwight in i803 recorded his opinion that Ethan Allen's Reason Only Oracle of Man (1784) was the first formal publication in United States openly directed against Christian religion.1 I propose to show that, except for word openly, this statement more properly applies to a pamphlet published in Boston in I77i bearing title Sermon on Natural Religion by a Natural Man. I shall also show that Dr. Thomas Young, generally considered to be co-…
Verse Condoning of Clerical Concupiscence
A Case of Academic Schizophrenia
p zERHAPS it is inappropriate to discuss an academic career in terms of abnormal psychology, but my scholarly enterprises have developed in two separate directions, embracing, on the one hand, early American intellectual history and, on the other, comparative literature, particularly the European Enlightenment, the Hispanic world, and western relations with China and Japan. Although nearly all of my books have been concerned with colonial or fede…

The First Published Memoir of Franklin
N the London Chronicle for October i, 1778, appeared a brief article entitled Authentic Memoir of Dr. Franklyn. This unpretentious narrative, embodying a brief episode from Benjamin Franklin's early life, can be shown through internal evidence to be directly related to the manuscript of Franklin's Memoirs, the work now known as his autobiography, which did not appear in print until I79I, thirteen years later.' The Chronicle narrative is, therefor…

Jonathan Edwards and William Godwin on Virtue
I know not whether it is of sufficient importance to notice the strictures Dr. Parr has made upon my marginal reference to Jonathan Edwards, in Political Justice, p. I29. See Spital Sermon, p. 74. Every candid reader will perceive that the reference is not made for the purpose of giving authority to what is there stated by me on the subject of gratitude. The name of Jonathan Edwards is much too far removed from general eminence and notoriety in E…
Franklin as Demographer
Many students of Franklin discuss his Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind, Peopling of Countries, etc., as a precursor of Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population? overlooking the more significant fact that Franklin's essay is part of an extensive movement to analyze population trends, a movement dating at least from John Graunt's Natural and Political Observations ... upon the Bills of Mortality (1662). Just as every writer on p…

Franklin and the Ghostly Drummer of Tedworth
tT HE supernatural in seventeenth-century English folklore is well illustrated by the legend of the Drummer of Tedworth. The story of the regular appearances of a ghostly drummer in the south of England during the seventeenth century stirred such contemporary philosophical minds as Henry More and Joseph Glanvill as well as the unlearnedly credulous. Glanvill, after conducting a personal investigation at the scene of the appearances, wrote a frenz…

Thomas Paine's Plan for a Descent on England
T HOMAS Paine is not generally considered a military or naval strategist. Yet during the last period of his residence in France, I792I802, he developed a scheme for the invasion of England which he attempted to impose upon the French government. On behalf of his project Paine published fervent articles in the French press. He drew up a formal plan of action-based on a supposed tactical superiority of small boats, carrying eighty men, to large shi…
