Scope and Contents
The text of the 'Ruminations' is preceded by an introductory note, apparently typed at a later date, in which Porter states that the papers were written by one 'Roger Newton', clearly a pseudonym. The work, which 'Roger Newton' calls 'a brief reference to a life not yet lived', is in two parts, 'Dawn', and 'Sunset'.
