Figures

A figure page is not a biography. It assembles what this library already holds about a person and says the one thing this library is positioned to say about them.

There are three, written properly, against 13 documents. More will follow as the library grows, and they will be added when there is enough recorded about someone to be worth a page rather than to fill a list.

  • Jonathan Mayhew

    The hinge of the grammar movement. He read Romans 13 against itself, and King applied it in 1963.

  • Samuel Sewall

    He argued against slavery in 1700 by quoting clause 10 of the document whose clause 91 legalised it.
