...Dorothy Mackay Quynn Copyright © 1937 by Duke University Press 1937 THE CATO AND THE NAUTILUS, MARYLAND PRIVATEERS DOROTHY MACKAY QUYNN IN JANUARY, 1780, two Maryland privateers were driven ashore by the English, near the mouth of the Patuxent. These ships had been intended to serve...

... that there appear the contemptuous references to the Graeculus or Greekling. The chief character in this reaction against the Greeks and other foreigners was Cato the Censor, the first noteworthy advocate of the doctrine of Rome for the Romans. He was a farmer of Tusculum, extremely practical and free from senti­...

.... With the onset of an increasingly commercial­ ized and scientific agriculture, the traditional praise of husbandry by the classical and especially the Roman writers Cato, Varro, Virgil, Horace, and Cicero took on a new accent, if not a new meaning. The French Physiocrats created an entire economic doctrine...

...: It is not the fat and long-haired men I fear, but the pale and lean, meaning Brutus and Cassius. In regard to the physical part of the incomparable Cato we read only that he was a little deaf Cato the younger, who set much store by the doctrine of the Stoics that the good man only is free and all bad men...

... the Sofonisba, the choric odes, in spite of their noble diction and form, seem irrelevant; it is extremely doubtful whether Trissino ever in­ tended them to be sung, since he so easily transformed them into tirades for Elisa, Cato, and his other characters. The parode ends with a liaison de vue announcing...

.... I choose an instance from the Elder Cato, because it illustrates his attitude to Romans as well as to animals. To prove his frugality in the use of public funds, Cato says that after his successful campaign in Spain he sold his war horse in order not to put the state to the charge of shipping...

.... The most important was Fabius und Cato (1774), in which he identified himself completely with the stern Cato, spoke up for a democratic republic, warned against imperialism, dictatorship, and immoral con­ tamination by foreign nations the Roman Cato meaning the Orient; 180 The South Atlantic Quarterly...

.... He lived, as he himself said, nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted him. In the days of his Lost Youth that followed, Thoreau turned to the plainer fare of the agriculturists Cato, Varro, and Columella. As a point of special interest...

... progress. He finds it, or so he tells us, groping about the corners of a blind alley. In answer to Whitman s promise of a free and noble development of the individual he offers Winston Prairie, the middle western town which by its smug commonplaceness crushed out the hope­ ful young soul of Cato Braden...

... simplicity both of life and of thought. He lived, as he himself said, nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted him. In the days of his Lost Youth that followed, Thoreau turned to the plainer fare of the agriculturists Cato, Varro, and Columella...

... Kean. These players opened their season at Philadelphia in August, 1749, with Addison s Cato; from there they went to New York, and later to Williamsburg and Annapolis. For us the real significance of Kean s company lies in the fact that they presented the first Shakespearean play of which we have any...

... by Rothbard and later Norquist. The first component of a right-wing Leninist strategy is the establishment of a group of committed activists loyal to a vision of society wedded to free market capitalism that wholly vacates the role of the state within social, political, and cultural life. The work of Cato...

... and observations on arable land inaugurate the work, arching back to the example of Cato and forward to physical and allegorical topographies. The former s focus on the nature of French land and soil is complemented by the latter s implications of civil war. (The war had barely begun, officially, when...

... because they did their work so successfully that people forgot that the previous conditions ever existed. The questions at issue in their day cannot be understood without reference to the Independent Whig, Cato s Letters to the London Journal, and similar contem­ porary writings. When Bolingbroke...

... these, there was the same dearth of separate causes as in Greece, especially after Cato s causa the old aristocratic Republic, went down in blood; for centuries a bureaucratic despotism claimed to supplant all the older loyalties. The individual Roman was then indeed emancipated from the ancient ties of kin and cult...

..., when he claims that he would much rather be the author of The London Merchant than of The Dying Cato, even granting the latter all the regularity that makes it an ostensibly legitimate model for German composition. The reason is the amount of tears shed over Merchant in comparison to Cato; see Szondi...

... into his poetry either homely or easily understood metaphors: As seamen, shipwrack d on some happy shore So much much-envied Muse . . . and Flecknoe . . . who, like Augus­ tus. Or he draws on widely known sources Bacon, Harvey, Aris­ totle, Cato, Hercules, Dido, Achilles for simple allusions. While...

... a republican per­ sonality old Cato, say would have had under the Empire, or an early Christian hero in the Church-State of the Middle Ages. He is an amateur among specialists, claiming uniqueness that sets him apart from others in a mass society; and, when adjustment is the order of the day, he...

... confesses in one of his elegies, his mother could be, on demand, a match for Cato himself. It is surprising, perhaps, what with the mother s firm control over her children, that only one of her seven sons entered the Church. Perhaps she did not know her own mind; perhaps her sons clearly knew theirs...

... with Ardent Whigs at the first performance of Addison s Cato and the lively scene that followed. Well known, too, are some of the scenes that took place in the Dublin Theater during Sheridan s man­ agement in consequence of personal animus and party spirit. Numerous must have been the struggles similar...
