*********************
Statistical proof for Livingston’s authorship thru the study of tongue movements during recitation of the Christmas poem. Henry Livingston’s body of poetry fits exactly with the author of Night Before Christmas. Clement Moore’s poetry is statistically outside the Christmas author’s use of favored sounds.

Thanks for posting. I’ll have to have a look.
Thank you again. I downloaded them in 2016.

I started researching Henry back in 1998, which is when I pulled Don Foster from Vassar into the investigation. A few years later, one of the seminal figures in literary attribution from New Zealand, Mac Jackson, a Shakespeare expert, contacted me to help him continue the search. That’s when we went into deep mathematical statistical analysis. We worked 7 straight years.
I used to be part of the military/industrial research world, so we brought a great deal of rigor to the academic investigation of the two professors. Mac wrote a book aimed at his peers. I wrote my large book as a biography of Henry, as well as with the intention of translating Mac into normal English.
The two other books are more like comic books. There’s massive numbers of illustrations of poetry. I could afford to buy the postcards and vintage books of NBC because I’ve got good Photoshop skills. So I can buy damaged pieces and repair them.
If I ever get off my rump again, I’ve illustrated a book of my grandmother’s and I’ll turn it into a kindle book, too. She was the 1st female newspaper publisher in CO and put out 2 books. I own one and Brown University library has the other.
I haven’t made them freely available for the last couple of years, so it felt like it was time to do it again.
RE: Your grandmom’s book - you should do that. You reminded me that somewhere (I think, I hope) I might have an autographed copy of this book that was written by a lady from my hometown.
Things like that are fast disappearing down the memory hole, if only due to age and neglect. It would be nice to see more of them saved, and not just in the ‘rare find’ bins on Amazon.

Wow that’s great! Merry Christmas.
Oh, wow, those are classics :)
She wrote those and scattered them in all the issues of her Canon City Cannon, the paper that went off once a week. I was raised on the traditional Benjamin Franklin ones by my other grandmother. But I really love Catharine’s.
