PI ~ TU R E ~ 0FA MER I~ AN ~ ~ ENE RY I BY CHARLES LANMAN, ASSOCIATE N A TIO"N AL AC A DEMY OF DESIGN. As my official intercourse of ten years with Japan has been terminated, and I am tired of writing books­ while those I acknowledge have been revised a~d are to be republished in uniform style,-I have concluded for the future, and by way of variety, to substitute the pencil for'the pen. I propose to employ myself in reproducing the best of my very numerous Sketches of American Scenery, three hundred and fifty titles of which are given below. My idea is to arrange them in Portfolios, each one to contain ten pictures in oil, mounted on heavy cardboard, eighteen by twenty-two inches in size, the subjects to be selected by each subscriber, and the price of the set to be two hundred and fifty dollars. Should my friends or patrons of Art who have seen my productions in the National Academy of Design or the Corcoran Gallery happen to fancy either a smaller or larger collection than the one designated, I shall be glad to furnish the Portfolios accordingly and on the same relative terms-the pictures to be so arranged that they may be separately framed. The prices named are much lower than I have been advised by competent critics to ask; but the ambition has seized me to try and produce good and satisfactory pictures on reasonable terms.

  • Lidar and Other Evidence for the Southwest Continuation and Late Quaternary Reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a Cr
    LIDAR and other evidence for the southwest continuation and Late Quaternary reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a cross-cutting structure near Biddeford, Maine, USA Ronald T . Marple1 and James D. Hurd, Jr .2 1. 403 Wickersham Avenue, Fort Benning, Georgia 31905, USA 2. Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, The University of Connecticut, 1376 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4087, USA Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 14 April 2019 ¶ Date accepted: 01 September 2019 ABSTRACT High-resolution LiDAR (light detection and ranging) images reveal numerous NE-SW-trending geomorphic lineaments that may represent the southwest continuation of the Norumbega fault system (NFS) along a broad, 30- to 50-km-wide zone of brittle faults that continues at least 100 km across southern Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. These lineaments are characterized by linear depressions and valleys, linear drainage patterns, abrupt bends in rivers, and linear scarps. The Nonesuch River, South Portland, and Mackworth faults of the NFS appear to continue up to 100 km southwest of the Saco River along prominent but discontinuous LiDAR lineaments. Southeast-facing scarps that cross drumlins along some of the lineaments in southern Maine suggest that late Quaternary displacements have occurred along these lineaments. Several NW-SE-trending geomorphic features and geophysical lineaments near Biddeford, Maine, may represent a 30-km-long, NW-SE-trending structure that crosses part of the NFS. Brittle NW- SE-trending, pre-Triassic faults in the Kittery Formation at Biddeford Pool, Maine, support this hypothesis. RÉSUMÉ Des images haute résolution prises par LiDAR (détection et télémétrie par ondes lumineuses) dévoilent de nombreux linéaments orientés du NE vers le SO qui pourraient représenter la continuité au sud-ouest du système de failles de Norumbega (SFN) le long d’une vaste zone de 30 à 50 km de largeur de failles cassantes qui se poursuit sur au moins 100 km à travers le sud du Maine et le sud-est du New Hampshire.

  • Aspinquid and Tammany
    The Uncertaintist November 30, 2016 http://uncertaintist.wordpress.com I. Aspinquid Early newspaper texts related to Aspinquid, Nova Scotia 1770's Here are four items in the Halifax Gazette (an overall title for a series of newpapers printed by Anthony Henry in the latter 1700's under several different titles). In the transcripts, spelling has been modernized and Americanized. Spelling of Native names, insofar as I could decipher them, have been left character-for-character as I found them. Capitalization, paragraphing and punctuation have been modified for ease of reading. Some words were indecipherable, and what I could make of them was placed in square brackets, [ ... ]. Some Native names are plainly not real names, and are apparently parodies. Lengthy instances of these have also been placed in square brackets. Square brackets are also used for pointers to notes and to modern synonyms for some archaic words. It was only possible to search those issues of the paper which still exist and have made their way online. There may have been other years' feasts which were covered. Following is a table of what was checked. "No" means the issue preceding and the issue following the calculated feast date, as presented online, were found to contain no Aspinquid story. The table also shows whether the Nova Scotia Calender (sic), an almanac with the same printer as the Gazette, told St Aspinquid's day for the year.

BY B. B. THATCHER ESQ. [N TWO V0LUMK8. VOL. I. NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, 329 & 331 PEARL STREET, FKANKLIN SQUARE. 1860. PREFACE ior does not propose an elaborate explanation, nor an iny kind, for the benefit of the following work. If it equires either, he must even be content to have written • no statement or argument can give it any degree of popularity in the one case or in the other, regarded it, historically, as an act of mere justice to the laii.^ _.id the memories of many wise, brilliant, brave and gene- rous men,—patriots, orators, warriors and statesmen,—who ruled over barbarian communities, and were indeed themselves barba- rians, but whose influence, eloquence and success of every descrip- tion were therefore but the nobler objects of admiration and the worthier subjects for record. Nor can Philosophy look upon them without predilection. Comparatively unopinionated and unaffect- ed as they were,— governed by impulse and guided by native sense,—owing little to circumstances, and struggling much amidst and against them,—their situation was the best possible for devel- oping both genius and principle, and their education at the same time the best for disclosing them. Their Lives, then, should illus- trate the true constitution of man. They should have, above all other history, the praise and the interest of ' philosophy teaching by example.' The strictly moral inducements which have operated on the Author's mind, must be too obvious to require dissertation.
