Excerpt from The Journal of American History, 1913, Vol. 7 Major-general Nathaniel Greene, Commander-in - Chief Of the American forces in the Southern department, had put Off battle with the British army under lieutenant-general Earl Cornwallis until the engagement at Guilford, because his troops were not hitherto collected in sufficient numbers to meet the King's sol diers in a pitched field. Greene was placed in command after Gates had been so disastrously defeated. After that rout, there was scarcely a semblance of an American army to dispute with his Lordship the conquest of the Southern States, so completely had he shattered it between the swamps at Camden. When everything appeared on the verge of irretrievable ruin for the patriots was the very time that the fires in liberty-loving breasts burned most brightly. Never was there a nobler endeavor than that made by the people of the South, determined at that crisis, as well as other times throughout the Revolution, to make themselves free. Beset on all sides by loyalists and British regulars, it required unusual courage for a citizen to declare himself in favor of Independence. The partisan war, however, frequently presaged death for the unlucky prisoner, be he patriot or loyalist. With the possible exception of the Mohawk Valley, there was no place where the Revolutionary struggle bore such an aspect of fierce ness as in many of the Southern campaigns. Nor were even some of the British free from the stain, and the dashing Tarleton tainted his otherwise valorous career. The Continentals could reflect With joy that their hands were white, a notable temptation they withstood being at the Cowpens, Where they turned the day on Tarleton, making most of his troops captives at a time when he had been doing bloody work among the patriots.

Excerpt from Has Swedenborg's "Lost Word" Been Found?" When an astronomer makes an observation, his first step is to calculate for refraction. He knows that the star he is studying does not send its rays directly into our atmosphere, but obliquely: those rays are bent in their course by that atmosphere, and this distortion must be allowed for before any successful calculation can be made.
