Taken from Preface: The collection and publication of the records of a thousand men, who banded together, placed both their services and lives at the disposal of the Government, in support of a cause, in the justness of which both they and the nation believed, apparently requires no further justification than the simple statement of their heroism. Yet the issuance of a history of the Bucktails has perhaps a greater significance, than would the publication of histories of many other regiments. In the suppression of the Southern rebellion no army was given a harder task than the Army of the Potomac. In addition to being entrusted with the defense of the national capital, another, and that a two-fold labor, was laid upon its shoulders: the reduction of the capital set up by the seceding States and he destruction of the Army of Northern Virginia.

The History of King Richard the Third is Thomas More’s English masterpiece. With the help of Shakespeare, whose Richard the Third took More’s work as its principal model, the History determined the historical reputation of an English king and spawned a seemingly endless controversy about the justness of that reputation. George M. Logan has produced a scholarly yet accessible edition of the History, designed to make More’s exhilarating work fully accessible to 21st-century readers. More’s text is presented here with modern English spelling and punctuation, and with full annotation of linguistic difficulties and the historical background. The text is preceded by a general introduction, a chronology, and suggestions for further reading. An appendix reprints passages from key sources and analogues, enabling the reader to see how More worked with his English sources and classical models, and finally how Shakespeare worked with More.

Jane Austen’s readers continue to find delight in the justness of her moral and psychological discriminations. But for most readers, her values have been a phenomenon more felt than fully apprehended. In this book, Stuart M. Tave identifies and explains a number of the central concepts across Austen’s novels—examining how words like “odd,” “exertion,” and, of course, “sensibility,” hold the key to understanding the Victorian author’s language of moral values. Tracing the force and function of these words from Sense and Sensibility to Persuasion, Tave invites us to consider the peculiar and subtle ways in which word choice informs the conduct, moral standing, and self-awareness of Austen’s remarkable characters.
