Title: Animadversions on the paraphrase titulo Parliamentum in Sr. Henry Spelmans glossary..., [18th century].

Manuscript, in two hands, of objections and answers to Sir Henry Spelman's "last Edition and Addition of the Glossary printed 1664," which seek to prove that "the Commons of England were a parte of the Comune Concilium Regni or Parliament long before the end of H.3. reigne notwithstandinge the positive assertion to the Contrary." The manuscript includes a description of the "Saxon Wittena Gemott or Parliament of the English before the comeing in of William the first" and cites passages from William of Malmesbury. Elsewhere, the writer asks the reader, "may I humbly beg the favourable Judgment of the learned Reader if I essay to coment upon and endeavour to explaine that Weighty and obscure Clause inserted in King Johns Charter but totally omitted in King Henryes touchinge the fforme and order of Calleinge or Summoninge othe Commune Conciliarum Regni or Parliament and the intended integrall partes thereof the understanding of which hath not been clearly explicated by any Author or Historian in my opinion."

Title: Part of David Garrick for the role of King John in King John, with revisions [manuscript], [1745?].

The part of King John was intended for Garrick; on f.2v he states that" (the following speeches are put into King John's part in order to leave the part of Queen Elinor out of the play)." Queen Elinor was not omitted in the known performances in London in 1745, yet this was the only year in which Garrick appeared as King John.

Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

Title: Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

The official organ of the Communist Party, USA, the Daily Worker's editorial positions reflected the policies of the Communist Party. At the same time the paper also attempted to speak to the broad left-wing community in the United States that included labor, civil rights, and peace activists, with stories covering a wide range of events, organizations and individuals in the United States and around the world. As a daily newspaper, it covered the major stories of the twentieth century. However, the paper always placed an emphasis on radical social movements, social and economic conditions particularly in working class and minority communities, poverty, labor struggles, racial discrimination, right wing extremism with an emphasis on fascist and Nazi movements, and of course the Soviet Union and the world-wide Communist movement. The paper has had a succession of names and has been published in varying frequences between daily to weekly over the course of its existence. In 2010 it ceased print publication and became an electronic, online-only, weekly publication titled the People's World. The bulk of the collection consists of printed photographic images produced through a variety of processes, collected by the photography editors of the Daily Worker and its successor newspapers as a means of maintaining an organized collection of images for use in publication. Images of many important people, groups and events associated with the CPUSA and the American Left are present in the collection, as well as images of a wide variety of people, subjects and events not explicitly linked with the CPUSA or Left politics.
