Some of our favorite "Fugitive
Pieces"
Every researcher happens upon fleeting, "fugitive" documents that have remained
in manuscript. These archival "pieces" are so interesting that it literally
hurts to move on without copying them down; so you interrupt your focused
search for a few moments and copy out the document. Years pass, and these pieces remain hidden in your files. That hurts too. So,
we have decided
to make some of these fugitive pieces available to other scholars by putting
them on the web. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. They have the potential to
illuminate the research of any scholar to takes the time to muse over their
content.
