fn2 “Jacobin” is/was not the same thing as “Jacobite.” There’s more than one meaning to “Jacobin” (there was an order of French Dominican monks so called, for one thing), but its most common meaning is/was: “a member of an extremist or radical political group, especially: a member of such a group advocating egalitarian democracy and engaging in terrorist activities during the French Revolution of 1789.” (Hence the addition of “Anti-Jacobin” to the newspaper’s name in 1803.) A Jacobite, as presumably we all know by now, was specifically a supporter of the Stuart monarchy, headed—at the beginning—by King James III (the Old Pretender), “Jacobite” being derived from “Jacobus,” the Latin form of the name “James.”

fn3 kahentinetha (her name means “she makes the grass move”) informs me that the Mohawk don’t use capitalization, though she makes an exception for her blog, Mohawk Nation News, in order to make it more accessible to a general readership (www.mohawknationnews.com).
