Subject: German e-texts? Other langs?
Re-habilitating my German, it occurs to me that since I spend so much time in
front of the screen, it wouldn't be especially stupid to find ways to make
lots of German words run across the screen at me. Are there (1) downloadable
or otherwise easily available bodies of German e-text ready to hand? and (2)
commercial *German* e-products, such as a CD of *Zukunftsbibliothek*, with
junky but serviceable e-texts of all the world's great books in German
translation. A subsidiary benefit of wiring the globe with this network ought
to be greater facility at locating materials in numerous foreign languages:
it's worth asking about French and Spanish and Italian, I suppose. Russian
would be lovely, but somehow I don't think they've had a lot of kopeks free
for setting up CD-ROM factories yet.

Does anybody out there use "Crash Barrier" for the Mac? Or know of
any reviews? Does it do what it claims to do? Any information will
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: Locating Benjamin's Ethnography
A friend and colleague would expire with gratitude if someone could provide
a location for:
Robert C. O. Benjamin. Ethnography, of the origin of the negro;
giving a history and scientific account of the origin of other races.
Lexington, KY: Lexington Standard Office, 1899. 50p. ill. 18cm.
The L of C had a copy which was sent off for microfilming, and then
[probably?] destroyed before that process took place. George Wright has
followed thru with LC, and other places. The above description was pro-
vided by LC. Ethnography is not listed in various, usual sources (NUC,
NUC:S, BLC, BNC...).
A copy was apparently displayed at the 1900 Exposition in Paris (a black/
negro annex to the -- I assume -- US pavilion).
Benjamin was a writer (largely of pamphlets), thinker, first black lawyer
in Calif., etc. Murdered in 1901.
Help, help help!
