Примечания

1

This newspaper was published out of New Bern, North Carolina, between (roughly) 1764 and 1775; The Cape-Fear Mercury somewhat later, around 1783. There are no publishing records of North Carolina newspapers during the war years of the American Revolution. This doesn’t mean there were no newspapers, only that any such periodicals didn’t survive. Sometimes, neither did the journalists. Reportage was risky business.

“Jacobin” is/was not the same thing as “Jacobite.” There’s more than one meaning to “Jacobin” (there was an order of French Dominican monks so called, for one thing), but its most common meaning is/was: “a member of an extremist or radical political group, especially: a member of such a group advocating egalitarian democracy and engaging in terrorist activities during the French Revolution of 1789.” (Hence the addition of “Anti-Jacobin” to the newspaper’s name in 1803.) A Jacobite, as presumably we all know by now, was specifically a supporter of the Stuart monarchy, headed—at the beginning—by King James III (the Old Pretender), “Jacobite” being derived from “Jacobus,” the Latin form of the name “James.”

fn3 kahentinetha (her name means “she makes the grass move”) informs me that the Mohawk don’t use capitalization, though she makes an exception for her blog, Mohawk Nation News, in order to make it more accessible to a general readership (www.mohawknationnews.com).
