Missing Relatives and Lost Friends
Researchers on the trail of elusive ancestors sometimes turn to 18th- and early 19th-century newspapers after exhausting the first tier of genealogical sources (i.e., census records, wills, deeds, marriages, etc.). Generally speaking, early newspapers are not indexed, so they require investigators to comb through them, looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. With his latest book, Robert Barnes has made one aspect of the aforementioned chore much easier. This remarkable book contains advertisements for missing relatives and lost friends from scores of newspapers published in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia, as well as a few from New York and the District of Columbia. The newspaper issues begin in 1719 (when the "American Weekly Mercury" began publication in Philadelphia) and run into the early 1800s. The author's comprehensive bibliography, in the Introduction to the work, lists all the newspapers and other sources he examined in preparing the book. The volume references 1,325 notices that chronicle the appearance or disappearance of 1,566 persons.

Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship ...

Musikalische Schriften
Die Schriften Johann Beers, dessen eigentliche Entdeckung als einem der reizvollsten Erzähler der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts vor fünfzig Jahren Richard Alewyn gelungen ist, haben seit dieser Zeit nicht nur einen bevorzugten Platz in der Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch im literarischen Interessengebiet des modernen Lesers gefunden. Beer, vielfach als Kontrapunkt zu seinem süddeutschen Schriftstellerkollegen Grimmelshausen empfunden, erfreut sich zunehmend allgemeiner, nicht nur professioneller Lesergunst.
