 Antiquarian Supper
In the decade before the Civil War (when antiques were frequently displayed at "sanitary fairs"), various groups of people in many New England towns began holding "antiquarian suppers." During these occasions, citizens dressed in old-fashioned clothes, brought relics (anything odd or old) to exhibit, shared stories of days gone by, and enjoyed a bountiful meal.
At sunset an ox team with sleds covered with chairs and quilts and coverlets, was started from the village by Uncle Gilman Chapman, containing the officers of the society and the belles of the village, dressed in bonnets which will hereafter be described.
The members of the club held their annual Antiquarian Supper, Feb. 25th, 1857, at the dwelling house of uncle N. True, and at half-past 2 P.M. the latch string was thrown out, and the grandfathers and grandmothers began to arrive on sleds covered with quilts and chairs to the music of antiquated sleigh-bells.

 The Reclusive Antiquarian
Canadi-anna has made a post at her blog in which she supports the non-publication of the Muhammad cartoons in the Canadian media for the reason of not gratuitously causing religious offense to Canadian Muslims.
We are fast approaching the day when the continued lack of demonstrable effort on the part of moderate Muslims serves to disabuse the West of the notion that Islam “is peace.” That would be a terrible thing, and it would make the struggle of moderate Muslims that much more difficult in the end.
Much of the leftwing intellectual elite has been lecturing against freedom of speech, condemning the publication of the Muhammad cartoons, and pontificating that we all need to be more respectful of religious sensibilities, and that the real issue here is Islamophobic intolerance.
