In 1858 an entire family of seven persons disappears suddenly and unaccountably from a plantation house in eastern Kentucky, leaving all its possessions untouched — furniture, clothing, food supplies, horses, cattle, and slaves. About a year later two men of high standing are forced by a storm to take shelter in the deserted dwelling, and in so doing stumble into a supernatural room lit by an unaccountable greenish light and having an iron door which cannot be opened from within. In this room lie the decayed corpses of all the missing family; and as one of the discoverers rushes forward to embrace a body he seems to recognise, the other is so overpowered by a putrid odor that he accidentally shuts his companion in the vault and loses consciousness. Recovering his senses six weeks later, the survivor is unable to find the hidden room; and the house is burned during the Civil War.

The Woolf Institute, Wesley House The Centre for Muslim Jewish Relations (CMJR), based at Wesley House in Cambridge, is dedicated to the study and teaching of Muslim-Jewish Relations and the promotion of interfaith dialogue.The Woolf Institute CMJR operates under the auspices of The Woolf Institute as a sister institute of The Centre for Jewish-Christian Relations and is the first and only academic centre in Europe dedicated to fostering relations between Muslims and Jews through teaching, research and dialogue.The Centre for the Study of Muslim Jewish Relations As an academic institution CMJR strives to foster innovative scholarship of high standing and to delineate the comparative, theoretical and methodological profile of the field. By approaching Jewish-Muslim Relations through the multidisciplinary perspectives of history, religion, literature, politics, international relations, anthropology and philology, and by extending the geographical range to all those areas in which Jews and Muslims have lived and still live together, the various research projects of CMJR will illuminate not only Muslim-Jewish relations in the narrow sense, but many aspects of both Islamic and Jewish civilisation as well.

The author/editor was probably an educated Jew, knowledgeable in Greek learning, and of high standing in his own community. It is possible that the name of Daniel was chosen for the hero of the book because of his reputation as a wise seer in Hebrew tradition. Ezekiel, who lived during the Babylonian exile, mentioned him in association with Noah and Job (Ezekiel 14:14) as a figure of legendary wisdom (28:3), and a hero named Daniel (more accurately Dan'el, but the spelling is close enough for the two to be regarded as identical) features in a late 2nd millennium myth from Ugarit. "The legendary Daniel, known from long ago but still remembered as an exemplary character ... serves as the principal human 'hero' in the biblical book that now bears his name"; Daniel is the wise and righteous intermediary who is able to interpret dreams and thus convey the will of God to humans, the recipient of visions from on high that are interpreted to him by heavenly intermediaries.

The 1863 article entitled "American Timber Bridges" by the Institution of Civil Engineers described that: : Timber-bridge building has become an especial branch of Engineering in the United States, and there are several firms that devote their whole time to this subject. The large number of bridges required for 30,000 miles of the railway has necessarily given great field for experience, and many designs having been tried, the plan of bridge now the most general, becomes of course the more valuable. Of the firms alluded to, one of the most eminent is that of Mr. D. C. McCallum, an Engineer of high standing, who was for several years the manager of the New York and Erie Railway, a length of 460 miles, exclusive of branches. The Inflexible Arched Truss being now probably in more general use than any other bridge... The first mention [in Great Britain] of this bridge, and of Mr. McCallum's admirable system of working trains by the electric telegraph, will be found in Captain Galton's Report on the Railways of the United States.Institution of Civil Engineers (Great Britain) (1863) "American Timber Bridges" in Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers p. 312.
