Rhetorical Citizenship and Public Deliberation
Citizenship has long been a central topic among educators, philosophers, and political theorists. Using the phrase “rhetorical citizenship” as a unifying perspective, Rhetorical Citizenship and Public Deliberation aims to develop an understanding of citizenship as a discursive phenomenon, arguing that discourse is not prefatory to real action but in many ways constitutive of civic engagement. To accomplish this, the book brings together, in a cross-disciplinary effort, contributions by scholars in fields that rarely intersect. For the most part, discussions of citizenship have focused on aspects that are central to the “liberal” tradition of social thought—that is, questions of the freedoms and rights of citizens and groups. This collection gives voice to a “republican” conception of citizenship. Seeing participation and debate as central to being a citizen, this tradition looks back to the Greek city-states and republican Rome. Citizenship, in this sense of the word, is rhetorical citizenship. Rhetoric is thus at the core of being a citizen. Aside from the editors, the contributors are John Adams, Paula Cossart, Jonas Gabrielsen, Jette Barnholdt Hansen, Kasper Møller Hansen, Sine Nørholm Just, Ildikó Kaposi, William Keith, Bart van Klink, Marie Lund Klujeff, Manfred Kraus, Oliver W. Lembcke, Berit von der Lippe, James McDonald, Niels Møller Nielsen, Tatiana Tatarchevskiy, Italo Testa, Georgia Warnke, Kristian Wedberg, and Stephen West.

The correspondence of Stephen Fuller, 1788-1795 : Jamaica, the West India interest at Westminster, and the campaign to preserve the slave trade
\"The correspondence of Stephen Fuller between 1788 and 1795 and an introduction that sets the context for the letters together provide a much needed account of how its supporters managed to preserve the trade for a decade or more. While reflecting the priority that Jamaica and the West India interest attached to fending off abolition, Fuller's correspondence addresses a host of the islands' other concerns. Among these were the need to provide for the islands' defense against foreign enemies and restive slaves; to beat back challenges to their commercial privileges; and to counter indictments of the planter regime by taking steps to promote higher birth rates among slaves and by adopting stronger, more humane slave codes. In confronting these challenges, Caribbean elites and their British allies discovered that a substantial portion of Britain's leadership no longer shared their priorities\"--Provided by publisher.

The Steven West Williams Herbarium: An Early 19th Century Plant Collection From Deerfield, Massachusetts
The Stephen West Williams Herbarium, an important early collection of plants from western Massachusetts, is in the Henry N. Flynt Library of Historic Deerfield. Most of the plants in the herbarium were collected between 1816 and 1818 in Deerfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts. The herbarium had apparently never been systematically examined by contemporary botanists prior to our work. The 390-page herbarium contains 556 specimens representing 453 species, 74% of which are native and 26% introduced. Eight of the native species in the herbarium are now considered rare in Massachusetts. Reflecting Williams' interest, about half the specimens in the collection had a medicinal use. Intensive floristic surveys in Deerfield between 1944 and 2015 failed to find 64 (14%) of the species collected by Williams, including about 4% of the native and 42% of the introduced species. The specimens establish a pre-1820 date for the presence of at least 90 introduced species that are currently considered naturalized in Massachusetts. The collection also provides documentation for 34% of the vascular plants in Edward Hitchcock's 1829 “Catalog of Plants Growing without Cultivation in the Vicinity of Amherst College,” the first flora for the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts.

An implied freedom of political observation in the 'Australian constitution'
The implied freedom of political communication exists to ensure that Australians are able to exercise a free and informed choice as electors. Yet communication is a second-hand means of acquiring information, and it is not the only means. Nor is there any reason arising from the text or structure of the 'Australian Constitution' why communication should receive special status. This paper makes the case for a related implication, an 'implied freedom of political observation', designed to ensure that electors can also acquire politically relevant information first-hand. It is argued that such an implication arises by force of the same logic that gave rise to the implied freedom of political communication, yet - unlike the ill-fated 'implied freedom of political association' - occupies a unique territory that goes beyond that already recognised freedom.
