Edgar Huntly; or, Memoirs of a Sleep-Walker by Charles Brockden Brown. Edgar Huntly, Or, Memoirs of a Sleepwalker is a 1799 novel by the American author Charles Brockden Brown. Edgar Huntly, a young man who lives with his uncle and sisters (his only remaining family) on a farm outside Philadelphia, is determined to learn who murdered his friend Waldegrave. Walking near the elm tree under which Waldegrave was killed late one night, Huntly sees Clithero, a servant from a neighboring farm, half-dressed, digging in the ground and weeping loudly. Huntly concludes that Clithero may be the murderer. He also concludes that Clithero is sleepwalking. Huntly decides to follow Clithero when he sleep walks. Clithero leads Huntly through rough countryside, but all this following doesn't lead to Huntly learning much about the murder. Eventually, Huntly confronts Clithero when they are both awake and demands that he confess. Clithero does confess, but not to Waldegrave's murder. Instead he tells a complicated story about his life in Ireland, where he believes he was responsible for the death of a woman who was his patron, after which he fled to Pennsylvania. Clithero claims to know nothing about Waldegrave's murder.

Thomas Kelly Cheyne (1841 - 1915) was an English Biblical critic. He was ordained in 1864 and held a fellowship at Balliol College, Oxford. He believed in the necessity for a broad and comprehensive study of the Scriptures using literary, historical and scientific considerations. The Reconciliation of Races and Religions was published in 1914. Cheyne states that the union of the religions must precede the union of the races. He speaks of the Bahai and the Society of Friends as examples of people dedicated to universal peace. Cheyne believes that until the religions of the world come together there is no hope of the races and political units joining together in world peace.
