The Publication of Thomas Chandler Haliburton's The Clockmaker, 2nd Series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[Para.1]: "Although Thomas Chandler Haliburton wrote three series of The Clockmaker; or The Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick, of Slickville, he is known today primarily as the author of series one, published in 1837 (although dated 1836) by Joseph Howe of Halifax. The reason for this is twofold. First, literary critics regard the second and third series as inferior to the first. Since the later series were written for a British audience, the political underpinnings of Sam's 'wise saws' lack the relevance and spontaneity of the 'soft sawder' of series one. Second, with the exception of George Parker, textual scholars have justifiably focused their attention on the editorial and bibliographical difficulties presented by the first series. Given the complexity of these difficulties, and the time and funding required for bibliographical research, it is not surprising that the second and third series have yet to receive the scholarly attention they warrant. In fact, of the three series, the second series poses the greatest challenge to the bibliographer. By examining the composition and publication history of The Clockmaker, series two, l intend to correct, in part, the current imbalance in Haliburton bibliography."

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.
