Bibliographic record
Abstract
It is often assumed that some of the people remembered by Christopher Smart in the last fragment of Jubilate Agno (1758–1763) visited him during his detention in Potter’s madhouse. Jermyn Pratt, Norfolk clergyman and Smart’s fellow student at Cambridge, might not have been among Smart’s visitors, but the ‘mad’ poet interceded for Pratt’s father and family nevertheless: ‘Let Ruston, house of Ruston rejoice with Fulviana Herba, ab inventore, good to provoke urine. Lord have mercy upon Roger Pratt and his family.’ Other references to Pratt, his sister Harriot (Smart’s former love), and their Norfolk home, Ryston Hall, feature in Smart’s writings. Pratt’s place in literary history has rested on his association with Smart until now. This noteworthy and enterprising volume, carefully prepared and annotated by Ema Vyroubalová and James Robert Wood, brings Pratt’s dramatic, poetic, and essayistic works into print, establishing him as ‘an imaginative and idiosyncratic writer in his own right’ (2). From the uproarious comedy The Grange (c. 1774) to the sobering tract A Modest Address to Lewis (c. 1784), Pratt’s literary papers provide fresh and lively insights into the culture, society, and politics of provincial Norfolk in the eighteenth century.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
