1Author:  Jefferson Thomas 1743-1826Add
 Title:  The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Sir—In response to your letter, I have to advise you that the text of the Declaration of Independence (the original MS.) as signed by the delegates, reads, at the point of your inquiry—“unalienable rights”, while the text of Jefferson's MS. draft, as amended in committee by Franklin and Adams, reads “inalienable rights”. The latter is the paper printed in Ford's edition of Jefferson's Writings, in fac simile.

4Author:  Nietzche, Friedrich WilhelmAdd
 Title:  Beyond Good and Evil  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: 1. The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing, questionable questions! It is already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT really is this "Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will--until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance? The problem of the value of truth presented itself before us--or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem? Which of us is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation. And could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in raising it, perhaps there is no greater risk.

5Author:  Hen-Toh (Wyandot), B.N.O. WalkerAdd
 Title:  Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins), A Modern Text and Facsimile Edition  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: In his 1988 essay, Indian/White Relations: A View from the Other Side of the Frontier, Alfonso Ortiz asserts that American history is written strictly from the white man's perspective. While an American culture was being established, the cultures of the Native American were totally distorted. In fact, the European invaders tried to destroy that culture under the guise of trying to assimilate or Christianize the Native American in to the European culture. To have a true history of this land, the records must be written by all participants. In his essay, Ortiz laid out a model that would present people with a more accurate view of American history. Part of that model demanded that the historical values of oral traditions must be respected. As well, Ortiz felt it the duty of Native Americans to take on roles as historians and to accept the challenge to seek out, gather, and present accurate portrayals of history.[1]

 Description: Loss is a constant theme in Louisa's Diary in both her personal life and that of the slaveholding South.
