JOURNALS - SPECIAL ISSUE _Meridian: The Semi-Annual from the University of Virginia_, Issue 15, Spring/Summer 2005. Single issue $7 plus shipping. This issue publishes what is believed to be a previously unpublished Twain manuscript for a speech that was never delivered. The article is one in the Lost Classic series and is titled "An After Dinner Speech: Girard College and Religion." Evidence indicates the speech was written for delivery on February 6, 1889 at Yale University but never used. Graduate student Cory Maclauchlin wrote the introduction to the speech and describes Twain's content as addressing controversial issues of race relations, imperialism, and religion in schools. Maclauchlin's introduction is available online via the journal's website at: http://www.engl.virginia.edu/meridian/ An interview with Maclauchlin and a photo of one page from the manuscript which is owned by the University of Virginia is online at: http://www.virginia.edu/insideuva/classic.html Single issues can be purchased from the university bookstore at 800-759-4667 or by contacting the staff through the journal's website at: http://www.engl.virginia.edu/meridian/?page=contact Barbara Schmidt
