Distribution and habitat This species is restricted to Romania, where it is thought to be an endemic species of the Carpathian Basin. It inhabits steppe and forest-steppe grasslands on the Transylvanian Plain. Its habitats are largely used as pastureland, although it avoids overgrazed pastures.

70201488

Status This species has suffered a heavy decline in recent decades, and is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List. It is thought to number between 3,550 and 3,800 mature individuals, and may have been extirpated from the southern and southeastern regions of the Transylvanian Plain.

70201488

The primary threat to this species are the different factors leading to habitat loss; most populations only survive in suboptimal habitat due as the heavy cultivation of the most favorable habitats, which are fertile loess soils. The most important factor leading to its decline is deep tillage, which prevents the formation of suitable vegetation types and destroys the burrows of this species. In addition, this species is threatened by development and overgrazing of its habitats. Climate change may also affect this species, as genetic and fossil evidence indicates that blind mole-rats were historically sensitive to climate fluctuations (prior fluctuations spurred diversification rather than extinction among mole-rats, but there are little to no dispersal capabilities left for mole-rats in the modern day in order to adapt to ongoing changes), but the extent and direction of this impact remains uncertain.

Suessa Baldridge Blaine (February 25, 1860 – May 15, 1932) was an American writer of temperance pageants. She was connected with the Federated Woman's Clubs and organizations.

70201567

Early life and education Suessa Baldridge was born at Varick, New York, February 25, 1860.

70201567

She was educated at the high school of Geneva, New York, Wheaton College (Illinois), and Washington University in St. Louis (St. Louis, Missouri).

70201567

Blaine was reared in a Prohibition home, and while still a young girl, she became a very active participant at temperance meetings, where she won great favor for her songs and recitations. While at Wheaton College she joined the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), and in her home town, she became an officer of that organization.

70201567

Career She married Don P. Blaine, of Romulus, New York, March 13, 1890, and after her marriage, lived at Ovid, New York. There, she served as president of the Ovid WCTU and as an officer of the Seneca County organization.

70201567

In 1894, when she removed to Washington, D.C., retaining a summer residence at Ovid. In Washington, she became a Young WCTU local president and general secretary of the Loyal Temperance Legion. In 1903, she became general secretary of the District of Columbia's Young WCTU and inaugurated an organizing campaign which won the national prize banner for the largest increase in membership in the United States. She was appointed a national Young WCTU organizer and retained this office, making frequent trips afield.

70201567

In 1910, she was elected to the position of organizer and lecturer of the National WCTU. Her most elaborate effort, a pageant-play called "Columbia's Congress", was launched in Washington in 1910, and later, this production was presented in some of the largest cities in the U.S. From 200 to 350 persons appeared in the cast.

70201567

Blaine was for many years a trustee of the District of Columbia Anti-Saloon League and an active worker in the campaign for Prohibition in the District. In 1913, Blaine was appointed by President Wilson as a delegate representing the United States Government at the Fourteenth International Congress on Alcoholism, at Milan, Italy. In April 1915, under the auspices of the Central WCTU and the Brooklyn Sunday School Union, Blain was in charge of rehearsals for "Columbia's Congress" a temperance play she wrote in 2011 involving two hundreds persons participants. In 1916, she was obliged to resign the position of organizer and lecturer of the National WCTU because of serious illness which permanently affected her health.

70201567

She was a member of the American Executive Committee, appointed by the U. S. Department of State to arrange for the Fifteenth International Congress, which was held at Washington, September 21-20, 1920. Blaine was the author of the pageant dedicated to the foreign nations represented at the Congress. Blain presented different tableaus involving the eras of American history and presented through living prototypes people whose lives illuminated American history. These included scenes to appeal strongly to the American spirit, such as that showing General Washington with makers of the Constitution and continental advisers in attendance. This pageant, entitled "The Spirit of Temperance", was written and presented by Blaine, with professional assistance in its direction, at the east front of the Capitol on the first evening of the Congress. She was long noted for her unusual ability in employing music and drama in the presentation of temperance messages, having written numerous songs and exercises for children and young people, which she has presented in connection with her work in Washington and in the field.

70201567

Another feature of her work was the organization of temperance mass-meetings of Sunday-school children, usually preceded by a formal parade. The largest of these was held in Washington in May, 1913, when 3,000 children marched in the parade and three auditoriums were used simultaneously for the mass-meetings, which were addressed by Secretary of the Navy the Hon. Josephus Daniels and by Blaine who gave an illustrated talk, assisted by children in costume.

70201567

Personal life She died at Romulus, New York, May 15, 1932.

Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (Dublin Edition) was the second 'pirated' edition of Robert Burns's work, being published in Ireland without permission from or payment to the author or publisher. It is a so-called 'Stinking Edition', carrying the error 'Stinking' for the Scots word 'Skinking' (watery) in the poem "To a Haggis" because the type setters copied from a 1787 'Stinking Edition' of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (Edinburgh Edition).

70201589

This single volume issue is a collection of poetry and songs by Robert Burns, originally "Printed for the author and sold by William Creech" in Edinburgh. MDCCLXXXVII The date of publication for the 'Dublin Edition' as advertised in Finn's Leinster Journal was 29 September 1787, making it the second unauthorised or 'pirated' and the fourth actual edition of the 'Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect'. The 'Belfast Edition' had been first advertised in the Belfast News Letter on 25 September 1787, making it the third edition of the poems and the first 'pirated' edition.

70201589

The Kilmarnock Edition had made Robert Burns Caledonia's Bard whilst the 'Edinburgh Edition', the 'Belfast Edition', 'Dublin Edition' and the 'London Edition', all published in 1787, eventually elevated him into a position amongst the world's greatest poets.

70201589

The Edition and its contents It was the fourth published edition of Burns's poems, his first edition having been printed in Kilmarnock in 1786. The 'Belfast Edition' cost 2 shillings, eight and a half pence in boards and 3 shillings, three pence bound' and the 'Dublin Edition' was probably similarly priced. It is not known how many copies of the 'Dublin Edition' were printed, the situation being complicated by it being James Magee's edition, issued under the imprint of William Gilbert, a bookseller.

70201589

Around 3,250 copies of the 'Edinburgh Edition' were printed at 5 shillings for subscribers and 6 shillings for non-subscribers. Only 612 copies of the Kilmarnock Edition of which 88 are known to survive, but no record exists of the numbers of the Belfast and Dublin Editions printed.

70201589

A single volume, it was again dedicated to the "Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt". The 1787 Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh editions all contain an extra seventeen poems and five new songs and most of the poems present in the 1786 Kilmarnock Edition are reprinted such as "Halloween", "The Twa Dogs", "The Cotter's Saturday Night", "To a Mouse", etc. New poems included Death and Doctor Hornbrook, The Brigs of Ayr, The Holy Fair, John Barleycorn, Address to the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous and significantly To a Haggis (often given elsewhere as Address to a Haggis).

70201589

The contents differ as the dedication is followed by Extracts from The Lounger, No.97; the Table of Contents, then the 'Text' and finishing with the 'Glossary'. Unsurprisingly no subscribers list was included.

70201589

Nearly twice the length of the Kilmarnock Edition of 1786, it was printed in 12mo or Duodecimo rather than the demy octavo format of the 'Edinburgh Edition'. The smaller size made the printing less expensive, and text from the octavo edition was condensed into a duodecimo of 286 text pages with a considerable saving in paper, a valuable material before the regular use of wood pulp paper; 368 pages was the comparable length of the first 'Edinburgh Edition'. Interestingly in this context William Gilbert was a signatory to a "Petition to the House of Commons respecting paper" in 1773.

70201589

The volume was published in French gray paper 'printers' boards and has two identified printer's errors, namely the absence of a signature on page one and [ 16 ] on the misnumbered page [ 160 ]. The 'chain and line' or laid paper used for the text has a watermark, but unlike the 'Edinburgh Edition' paper, it is not a fleur-de-lis.

70201589

Measuring 15.7 cm by 9.5 cm trimmed, it included the expanded glossary or 'dictionary' of the Scots language for those unfamiliar with the many Scots words that Burns used.

70201589

Burns used annotations to clarify or enhance the understanding of his works such as with Halloween on page 109 and his notes on the 'Cove of Colean' (Culzean) as the Elfhame or home of the fairies.

70201589

The Stinking Edition

70201589

The 'Stinking Edition' or 'Stinking Burns' is so called because of the original spelling mistake in the partial second inpression of the 'Edinburgh Edition', found also here in the 'Belfast' and 'Dublin' editions. The origin of the error is because William Smellie had printed a first run of pages as far as the gathering or signature 'Mm' when he discovered that he had insufficient copies to cover all the subscribers and due to a shortage of type he was forced to reset the printing blocks and repeat the run as a partial second impression. In the haste to reset the blocks a large number of mainly minor errors were introduced, the most famous of which is the substitution of a 't' for a 'k' that converted the Scots word 'skinking' (meaning watery) into 'stinking'. Around 1000 out of 3000 copies of the 1787 'Edinburgh Edition' carried the error.

70201589

The bookseller William Gilbert, bookseller, of Dublin, is thought to have had a connection with the well known printer and publisher James Magee of Bridge Street, Belfast, possibly as a business partner. 26 South Great George's Street, Dublin is the address given in the 1795 Wilson's Dublin Directory, the bookshop was likely however to have been at No.46. Printed in Belfast by James Magee, the Dublin edition appeared under William Gilbert's name.

70201589

The Portrait of Robert Burns William Creech commissioned Alexander Nasmyth to paint Burns's portrait from which John Beugo engraved the copper plate required for the printing process. The 'Belfast' and 'Dublin' editions however had a frontispiece engraving by P. Halpin rather than the John Beugo engraving. Burns's image looks to the left in Beugo's engraving, but Halpin's portrait looks to the right.

70201589

Subsequent editions In 1789 the edition was re-issued by William Gilbert from the same address.

70201589

In 1793 a two volume Second Edinburgh Edition was published, much enlarged and for the first time containing the poem Tam o' Shanter, although It had already appeared in such publications as the second volume of Francis Grose's Antiquities of Scotland, for which it was originally written.

70201589

Other 18th century editions are those published in London, Philadelphia and then New York, not always with the authors knowledge or with the permission of William Creech, the copyright holder. Thomas Stewart's 1802 edition is notorious for having included a section with twenty-five letters written by Sylvander Robert Burns to Clarinda Agnes Maclehose without the permission of the copyright holders. The copyright for the 1787 'Edinburgh Edition' expired in 1801.
