Hello,
        I just did a paper for a Folklore class, where I found that
MT used Charles Brockden Brown as a "Master" and MT as the
"apprentice" when he was learning how to become a lecturer.
That is why MT has some material like Brown's.

I'm hoping to publish this paper in a journal somewhere.

Mrs. Jules Hojnowski
