Why there aren't meta - car manuals: "To illustrate this, I liken it to the hypothetical counterpart in the English speaking world of the time: the sailors who brought the English to the “New World” more than likely had at least a small number of navigational documents and papers to aide them in their journey Westward.

And while the aforementioned premises support a certain promotional purpose for the text ala’ Columbus’s “Letter,” it should be noted that these are historical, extra-textual sources. For propriety’s sake, I will offer up a couple of textual examples that also shore this up."
