前段时间在读书会分享钱穆宾四先生所著《论语新解》,其实大半花在孔子生平及论语选读上。这也有因。一者,因现代人于先师生平已不甚了了;再者,《新解》本身已是佳注,实无须多讲,拿来读就是。
作了份幻灯片,放在这里。

文天祥與妹書
目前各種行世的文天祥全集均未收錄此家書,僅見於明‧朱存理,四庫全書所藏鐵網珊瑚卷四120頁至125頁 https://archive.org/details/06071817.cn
此家書本末,參見修曉波,《文天祥評傳》(南京:南京大學出版社,2002
年),頁 275。 原文如下:
收柳女信,痛割腸胃。人誰無妻兒骨肉之情,但今日事到這裡,於義
當死,乃是命也。奈何奈何,途中有三詩,今錄至。言至於此,淚下
如雨……讀此三詩,便見老兄悲痛真切之情,事至于此,為之奈何。兄
只待千二哥至,造物者自有安排。可將此詩呈嫂氏,歸之天命。仍語
靚粧璚英,不曾周旋得,毋怨毋怨。徐妳以下,皆可道達吾此意。當
此天翻地覆,人人流落,天數,奈何奈何。可令柳女環女好做人,爹爹管不得,淚下,哽咽哽咽。此詩本仍可納之千二哥。兄天祥家書,
達百五賢妹。

Religion and Demographics of Late Colonial America
According to Britannica,
"
The New England region, in the north, was dominated by Congregationalists, including Puritans and Separatists such as the Pilgrims. The Middle region had great religious diversity, with many Lutherans, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Baptists, Quakers, and members of German and Dutch Reformed churches. Anglicanism was predominant in the Southern colonies.
"
And they've got a map too,
Also, wikipedia cites US census to generate the following demographics chart. Is it then safe to say the the Anglicans roughly equaled the Protestants in number? To be confirmed...
