Journal of Charles Coffin and David Gurney, 1781-1785

This diary appears to have been kept by two different students, both members of the Harvard College class of 1785. The first two pages contain entries made by a student named David, believed to be David Gurney because the entries relate to the freshman curriculum and Gurney was the only student named David who was a freshman in 1781. Gurney originally titled the volume "A Journal or Diary of my concerns in College of important matters." He made entries from August 28 through October 21, 1781, recording his lessons on Virgil, Tully, Homer, the Greek Testament, Hebrew grammar, English author John Ash's "Grammar," and a text called "The Art of Speaking." At the top of one of the pages recounting these studies, Gurney wrote in large, bold letters: "About how I misspent my precious time." Charles Coffin's entries begin on October 25, 1781 and fill the bulk of the journal. Coffin kept this diary while a student at Harvard College from 1781 to 1785. Although most of Coffin's entries are written in Latin, an account of his July 1781 examination for admission to the College is in English.

El entierro de Montesquieu

En 1985, Alfonso Guerra, entonces vicepresidente del gobierno español encabezado por Felipe González, pronunció una frase destinada a hacerse famosa: “Montesquieu ha muerto”. Fue vertida cuando el partido socialista (PSOE) aprovechó la mayoría parlamentaria recién alcanzada para reformar la Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial. De acuerdo con esa reforma, los vocales del Consejo General del Poder Judicial (equivalente a nuestro Consejo de la Magistratura) debían en adelante ser elegidos por el parlamento y no, como hasta entonces, mayoritariamente por los mismos jueces, fórmula a la que se tachaba de “corporativista”2. Los críticos advirtieron allí un intento de manejar los tres órganos clásicos del Estado para un proyecto de gobierno a largo plazo. Nada mejor, para eso, que enterrar de una buena vez por todas al viejo y quizás molesto señor de la Brède y barón de Montesquieu. Como buen político, Guerra, en sus memorias3, negó haber pronunciado literalmente aquella fórmula, aduciendo haber sido sus declaraciones tomadas fuera de contexto, etc...
