The 1804 Dollar may be the single most desired coin in all of numismatic history.
1804 silver dollars, of which there are just fifteen known, often set price records for rare coins when they're sold.
That price was more recently eclipsed by the sale of another 1804 dollar, known as the "Stickney" specimen, which sold in April, 1997 for a world record price for a rare coin sold at auction at $1,815,000.

  RUSSIAN LITERATURE - LoveToKnow Article on RUSSIAN LITERATURE
Russia was to adopt the forms of literature in use in the West.
During the last generation of the 19th century most of the Titans of her literature departed, and cannot be said to have left successors of equal merit.
The foundation of the Little Russian literature (written, as opposed to the oral) was laid by Ivan Kotliarevskiy (f769I838), whose travesty of part of the Aeneid enjoys great popularity among some of his countrymen.

 The Rusyns - Rusyn
Hence, Subcarpathian literature of the second half of the nineteenth century was in both theme and language characterized by resistance to magayarization.
Separated as it was from Rusyn literature in the Carpathian homeland and influenced by specific historical and political circumstances as well as a different linguistic situation in a diaspora environment, Vojvodinian Rusyn literature experienced its own internal and continuous dynamic.
Rusyn-language literature in the United States is connected with the large-scale immigration to North America that began in the 1880s and continued until the outbreak of World War I. In the 1890s the first of several Rusyn-language newspapers and annual almanacs began to be published, in which literary works, usually poetry and plays, appeared.

 [Project Rastko] THE HISTORY OF SERBIAN CULTURE - Jovan Deretic: Literature in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
Almost everything that Serbian literature produced in the following hundred years and more was created in that new environment, in historical circumstances which were basically different both from those existing previously and from those in which other parts of the Serbian nation lived at that time.
In the final decades of the eighteenth century and early decades of the nineteenth century, the foundation for a new Serbian culture and literature was being laid: schools were founded, compendiums of the basic scientific disciplines were written, and new literary genres were introduced (novels, drama, essays, various poetic forms).
The literature of this epoch is mostly characterised by the dramas, along with poetry, philology and history.

She then, perhaps, worked upon it further; yet, she was still doubtful whether she should publish it or not, and, at last, it was posthumously published in two volumes in 1818, at the same time as Persuasion.
2 In 1803 or 1804 (according to the only piece of evidence—the dates in the water-marks of the paper on which it is written), Jane Austen began a story that she never finished; it was published under the title The Watsons, by J.E.Austen-Leigh in the second edition (1871) of his Memoir.
It appears to have been the author’s intention that the heroine should ultimately marry a refined and intelligent clergyman, whose character, together with that of Henry Tilney, might have served to counteract the impression produced by that of Mr.

These elements may also be found in the work of the poet Friedrich Hölderlin, whose admiration for the harmony of the classical world was vitiated, as Goethe and his contemporaries saw it, by his visionary religious attitude.
The increasing romantic tendency of German literature, as expressed, for example, in some of the later writings of Goethe, became dominant in 1798, with the first issue of the journal Athenäum, edited by the critics August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Friedrich von Schlegel.
Romanticism in the literature of Germany, as in that of other countries, resulted from a fusion of political, philosophical, and artistic elements.

 Literature
Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature
Nobles and bourgeois, the two classes which, in the literature of the Middle Ages, speak with two accents so dissimilar, have one point of resemblance: the one class is as ignorant as the other.
Hence the fondness of the literature of the seventeenth century for general ideas and for sentiments that are common to mankind, and its success in those kinds of literature which are based on the general study of the human heart.
French literature in the seventeenth century, we must consider it in three periods: (1) from the year 1600 to 1659, the period of preparation; (2) 1659-1688, the Golden Age of classicism; (3) 1688-1715, the period of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Armenian literature began to develop with the creation of the Armenian alphabet in 405-406 AD and the subsequent translation of the Bible into Armenian.
Basically common to all Eastern literatures, love poetry and its forms were recreated in Armenia, a country that had no such tradition behind it.
New genres such as the novel, the ballad and the short story were born as Armenians were affected by the currents of rationalism, symbolism and decadence encompassing Europe; but, the themes of these works remained traditionally Armenian.

 Cardiff Corvey Articles: Database Project: The Flowers of Literature
Coverage of novels the Flowers of Literature was fairly substantial—there were, for example, notices of 28 novels contained in the volume for 1806—despite the fact that Blagdon’s introductory remarks often echo familiar critical discourse on the dubious moral and literary value of the genre.
The Flowers of Literature was published by the London firm of Benjamin Crosby and Co., which operated between 1794 and 1814, from Stationer’s Hall Court on Ludgate Hill and ‘near Paternoster Row’—establishing it firmly in the topographical centre of the London booktrade.
The object of this work is, the laudable one of bringing into contempt the ridiculous and disgusting tenets of modern philosophers, as they prevailed a few years ago, when their progress bid fair to overthrow, with the altar and the throne, the moral system of all civilized nations.

 glbtq >> literature >> French Literature: Nineteenth Century
Although the first half of the century is relatively poor in such depictions, after 1850, with the birth of literary movements such as symbolism, decadence, realism, and naturalism, gay and lesbian sexuality becomes a significant subject in the national literature.
In 1791, revolutionary penal codes did away with laws that had criminalized homosexuality, a reform that was maintained in the Napoleonic Code of 1804.
Yet it was not until the 1830s, at the height of romanticism, that lesbian and gay male characters began to appear in French literature in significant numbers.

Therefore, just because a piece of literature does not have a print number does not mean it is not an official factory publication.
For those interested in the literature printed before 1965 there are two reference books written by Dick Merritt in 1975 and 1976 that deal specifically with early owners manuals and sales literature.

Although the Dutch-speaking regions are small, the history of gay and lesbian literature in the Low Countries is rich and varied, reflecting the changing concepts of intimate relations between people of the same sex.
These accounts bear traces of distinct sexual and gender identities, but the sodomites and transvestites of this period were very different from modern gay men and lesbians.
The same holds for the more or less "spiritual" male and female friendships of the day that were frequently celebrated in literature.

The "musical" part of this family history research has been neglected thus far, Giulio and Francesca Caccini, the opera founders, only briefly mentioned in "What's in a name?" post along with the "Cochi" name version of the fiorentines.
Music "scholars" even disagree on Gioachino's life span, some claiming he was born in Padova, 1720 and died "after 1788", others do not define the place of his 1714 birth and ask themselves if Venice was where he really died in 1804.
Taking therefore Mr Goncour's word for granted, we can safely say that Paris is where he was born in 1714 or 13 and Hydra is where he died in 1803 (as mentioned in previous posts).

Nathaniel Hawthorne in an undated photograph, probably taken—judging from his hollow cheeks and gray hair—near the end of his life.
Born in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1804, Hawthorne came from a Puritan family of declining fortunes that prided itself on an energetic pursuit of practical matters such as law and commerce.
This Puritan strain in Hawthorne’s upbringing and his own deep suspicion that a literary vocation was not serious or productive work would become a recurring theme in his writing.
