A Deputy and a Cornfield: A Matt Duncan Adventure from the "want to Go West Lady" Series

A Deputy and a CornfieldByBen SteinlageAs rarely is the case, readers of "Want to Go West Lady," have taken an interest in some of the characters. The first was Ida Duncan's first husband Edgar Buchan. Many were amazed as to his true nature, in "Edgar."It wasn't long before I made public who and what Edgar was. Then as one might suspect there was her second husband Matt. Though the story of Matt Duncan was misplaced, I just found it. Now that I have dusted it off, I offer you one of a couple of stories of him after the war.As with so many after the war, Matt didn't care if it was referred to as the "War between the States," or the "Civil War." All he knew was that he was missing family members and the life he once knew and loved. What seemed like his saving grace, were the different tales of the country out west. Out there, where he wasn't known and he didn't know anyone either: where he might start over again.So sit back and let Matt Duncan take you into his new life.
I was called to the Bar in 1889 and went abroad very soon afterwards. For thirty-five years, from the beginning of 1891, I practised in Extra-territorial Courts. As we shall probably, before long, see the end of a system that has been in force ever since our country came into direct relations with the alien cultures of China and Japan, I think that perhaps this record, which covers the period of its decline, may be of interest to the international legal fraternity. Although some years may elapse before H.B.M Supreme Court for China goes the way of H.B.M Court for Japan, it is tolerably certain that no young barrister or solicitor commencing practice in Shanghai in 1930 will be able to report in 1950 that a British Court still exists there. Most people have a general idea of what Extra-territoriality (or Ex-territoriality or Ex-trality) means; but I may as well state here that, in countries which have by Treaty conceded extra-territorial privileges to British subjects, such persons are amenable only to the law of England administered by British officials. The subjects of other countries having similar Treaties enjoy, of course, the like immunity from local jurisdiction. It is a typically Chinese system. Chinese jurisdiction applies to universal matters but, as we shall see, established Treaties provide us with much free rein to govern private disputes...
Erica Duncan and Alan DeLorme are enjoying their time at Canfield College, where Alan has been invited to teach acting in the Theater Department. Between two hives of activity--the theater program and the bee keepers--queen bees abound at Canfield. This cross-pollination comes to an unfortunate end when a student, who had been hiding in the theater in hopes of seeing the resident ghost, dies from a severe reaction to a bee sting. When the accidental death is revealed as deliberate, Erica must keep her distance, having promised Alan that she would stay away from solving mysteries while on campus. At the same time, the available evidence, provided mostly by her students, is hard to ignore.

A Mathematical Approach to Proportional Representation: Duncan Black on Lewis Carroll
Springer
2012
nidottu
`This is a book about a well-known writer, Lewis Carroll, and about a little-known subject, the theory of voting' (from the Editors' Introduction). This book has been edited from the manuscripts of the late Scottish economist Duncan Black. Shortly after the publication of The Theory of Committees and Elections Black started to collect material for papers and a book on Lewis Carroll's theory of proportional representation. Black's chapter plans made it clear that the book was to be in three parts, written by himself, followed by a reprint of Carroll's Principles of Parliamentary Representation and its main sources. Part I is biographical, introducing Lewis Carroll and giving relevant details of his life. Part II is Black's already published work on Lewis Carroll. Part III comprises the more detailed arguments about Carroll's reasoning, and Part IV contains reprints of rare original material on proportional representation by Carroll, James Garth Marshall, and Walter Baily. Taken together, the editors have provided a complete reference source for the theory of voting and proportional representation.
The Theory of Committees and Elections by Duncan Black and Committee Decisions with Complementary Valuation by Duncan Black and R.A. Newing

R. H. Coase Duncan Black was a close and dear friend. A man of great simplicity, un worldly, modest, diffident, with no pretensions, he was devoted to scholarship. In his single-minded search for the truth, he is an example to us all. Black's first degree at the University of Glasgow was in mathematics and physics. Mathematics as taught at Glasgow seems to have been designed for engineers and did not excite him and he switched to economics, which he found more congenial. But it was not in a lecture in economics but in one on politics that he found his star. One lecturer, A. K. White, discussed the possibility of constructing a pure science of politics. This question caught his imagination, perhaps because of his earlier training in physics, and it came to absorb his thoughts for the rest of his life. But almost certainly nothing would have come of it were it not for his appointment to the newly formed Dundee School of Economics where the rest of the. teaching staff came from the London School of Economics. At Glasgow, economics, as in the time of Adam Smith, was linked with moral philosophy. At Dundee, Black was introduced to the analytical x The Theory o/Committees and Elections approach dominant at the London School of Economics. This gave him the approach he used in his attempt to construct a pure science of politics.
