Perhaps the point is the same as the point of still having the text of the 18th Amendment as part of modern copies of the US Constitution even though it has been superceded by first section of the 21st Amendment.Voronwë the Faithful wrote:Then what is the point of having Leviticus as part of the Bible?

PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed a follow-on bill approved by Arizona legislators that make revisions to the state's sweeping law against illegal immigration — changes she says should quell concerns that the measure will lead to racial profiling. The changes include one strengthening restr...

A few more thoughts that occured to me as I reread the chapter: Were Merry and Pippen really irate at Sam just because he sneaked into the council or because he sneaked into the council without them? If Elrond's original plan to send Merry and Pippin to warn the Shire of the coming danger had been f...

From The Silmarillion Chapter 2: Aforetime it was held among the Elves in Middle-earth that dying the Dwarves returned to the earth and the stone of which they were made; yet that is not their own belief. For they say that Aulë the Maker, whom they call Mahal, cares for them, and gathers them to Man...

Re: Book 1, Chapter 6: The Old Forest
"Tolkien suggests that the two Bombadil poems were written by hobbits in Buckland, and show that the Bucklanders knew Bombadil, though, no doubt, they had as little understanding of his powers as the Shire-Folk had of Gandalf's: both were regarded as benevolent persons, mysterious maybe and un...

The version of the council given in The Treason of Isengard also contains a brief (presumably rejected) account of a meeting between Gandalf and Tom Bombadil: Gandalf in his reply to Elrond's question about Bombadil 'Do you know him, Gandalf?' now says: 'Yes. And I went to him at once, naturally, as...

That is: one wizard, two hobbits, five named elves (one from Mirkwood, one from the Grey Havens, three from Rivendell), two dwarve...

In the published book, Old Man Willow seems to be simply a malevolent tree (possibly a huorn?); but in earlier versions of the text, he is actually an evil spirit (Possibly a fallen maia?) who is trapped in the body of an ancient tree. From HoME vol. 6: Amongst his talk there was here and there much...
