	Findlay, ' '[T]hat Liberty of Writing': Incontinent Ordinance in 'Oriental' Jones' - _The Containment and Re-Deployment ...
		Jones is both of the Indian sub-continent and in various senses incontinent within it and when writing about it (just as he is both inside and outside the dominant versions of Englishness in the later eighteenth century).
		Jones tries to consign the difficulties attending respectful racism and civilized greed to the mists of time and the agenda of things still to be done.
		Jones is thinking of the pale-skinned, non-barbaric, Athenian Isaeus here, but his translator's presumption is as questionable in Isaeus's case as in the case of authors of oriental countenance and culture.

	SIR WILLIAM JONES - Selected poetical and prose works
		Sir William Jones (1746-94), philologist, polymath, polyglot, acknowledged legislator and poet, was the greatest Orientalist of his generation.
		Jones has two major claims on critical attention now: the literary-historical significance for Romantic Orientalism of his representations of Asia; and his central importance as author and authorizer of colonial discourse and practice within the specific climate of current postcolonial debate.
		He is author of a biography in the Writers of Wales series, Sir William Jones (University of Wales Press, 1995), and of articles on medieval love-lyric, Oriental Gothic, and colonial rhetoric.

		Far from being an agent of imperialism, or an imperialist attempting to establish and then perpetuate political and cultural hegemony, Cannon asserts that Jones was often an opponent of the colonial project, particularly some of its more egregious aspects.
		Once this culture was revived, so Jones believed, ancient Indian governing institutions would again be in place, or Indians would create new ones based on their cultural and historical traditions, and thus, the need for the British would become non-existent.
		Bucking the prevalent trend to view Indian culture, religion, and history as inferior, Jones helped to diminish the overwhelming prejudice against the Orient and India that had existed previously, and was to exist afterwards, in academic circles.

	Justus Lipsius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Justus Lipsius, a Belgian classical philologist and Humanist, wrote a series of works designed to revive ancient Stoicism in a form that would be compatible with Christianity.
		His reputation today is primarily as a Latin philologist and stands upon his critical editions of Tacitus and Seneca.
		In this final publication, Lipsius’s admiration of Stoic philosophy and his talents as a classical philologist are united so as to form a highly appropriate culmination to his intellectual career.
