The Richelieu Lyceum Project by Auguste de Montferrand
This article examines the Richelieu Lyceum, an unrealized architectural project by French architect Henri Louis Auguste Ricard, alias de Montferrand (1786–1858), designed in 1817 for the city of Odesa (formerly in the Russian Empire, now Ukraine). The lyceum was a new building type: a school facility incorporating critical elements of 19th-century educational design and significant landscape interventions highlighting the natural environment, leading to an ecologically sound building. Over the last several decades, certain aspects of Odesa’s architecture and city planning have attracted scholarly attention, but much about the built environment of this metropolis remains to be examined. Analyzing Montferrand’s architectural drawings for the Richelieu Lyceum alongside contemporary memoirs, travelers’ diaries, and published documents in the context of 19th-century European architecture and education builds a picture of the educational ideals of the period and their manifestation in Odesa’s urban landscape.

The Substance of Doctrine
This essay examines how underlying differing theologies of authority informed mid nineteenth-century Calvinist polemics and ultimately the fragmentation of the New Divinity in New England. Focusing on the polemical career of Nathaniel William Taylor, these differences were evident in earlier Unitarian controversies yet emerged as Taylor and his New Haven allies incrementally departed from historic confessional language.

Clericus and the Lunatick
Clericus and the Lunatick were an odd couple, brought together by the conjunction of poetry and print toward the end of the period encompassed by Roger Stoddard and David Whitesell's glorious new bibliography. \"Clericus\" is the pseudonym of one of the era's most important theologians: Nathaniel W Taylor, chief architect of the Reformed Calvinism of the early national period, minister of New Haven's First Church, and professor of theology at Yale. Richard Nisbett, \"the Lunatick,\" was a destitute and heterodox psychiatric patient in terminal confinement at the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. This famous Calvinist clergyman and this obscure Quaker madman would indeed seem to have had little to connect them. And unconnected they surely would have remained, had Taylor not happened to come across, in the pages of Joseph Dennie's Port Folio, one of the poems Nisbett composed during his confinement. Here, Cavitch examines how, in Nisbett's \"Ode to the Evening Star,\" Taylor recognized and was moved by the evidence of a madman struggling to recapture and make use of his innate, if compromised or damaged faculties in order to pursue his own salvation and, through his poetic efforts, to help circulate exemplary evidence of the psycho-theological foundation of both personal and public reform.

Nathaniel William Taylor and Thomas Reid: Scottish common-sense philosophy's impact upon the formation of New Haven theology in Antebellum America
This paper will examine the relationship between Scottish common-sense philosophy and the formation of New Haven Theology. It will be illustrated that Nathaniel William Taylor's adaptations of orthodox Calvinism (particularly the doctrines of election and predestination and total depravity) relied heavily upon the principles of common-sense philosophy found in the work of Thomas Reid. Furthermore, it will be argued that Taylor's adaptation of Calvinism was a necessary accommodation to the phenomenon of mass conversion and evangelism during the Second Great Awakening.
