----EOH --------------------------------------------------------------
A historian at the Catholic University of Peru is looking for information
that could lead her to obtaining a copy or transcription of the "Relacion
de Meritos y Servicios de Jose Antonio de Lavalle y Cortes", a character
that lived in the XVIIIth century, if such a document exists at all.
Any information on Lavalle y Cortes, and his children Lavalle y Sugasti,
will be of value.

Of course, information on where to get information from will also be very
much appreciated!

Subject: Internet access abroad? Paris?

Dear colleagues,
I am requesting information about getting a guest account or
modem access of some kind to the Internet while I will be doing
research in Paris in July. Queries to other sources have not been
successful. Perhaps there is a Humanist subscriber in Paris, or who
has used an Internet node there, who could help. Commercial e-mail
services (like Delphi) do not provide Internet services abroad, I
found.

Subject: i need advice on publishing paper on phaedo

as a newcomer to internet, and a law professor to boot, i would like to
ask your advice regarding the submission for publication of a paper on
plato's phaedo. i wrote the paper (12 pages double space, in english)
several months ago while a graduate student at large at the university of
chicago divinity school. the paper analyzes what i call the dream motif in
phaedo from a literary-philosophical perspective and connects that motif
(and dream characteristics in general) to socrates's death, the immortality
of the soul and the afterlife.
i am very familiar with how one goes about submitting papers on legal
topics for publication but do not know how to approach the phaedo paper. i
certainly do not want to be unrealistic or presumpuous about this, and i do
not rule out submission to a "nonacademic" publication.
your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Does anyone know of a way to access the current Books in Print
over Internet? I've snooped around using Gopher, but haven't had
any luck. Advice and/or definitive answers would be greatly
appreciated.
