The annual general meeting of the Literary and Histo rical Society of Quebec was held on Wednesday morning, in the library of the Society, at 10 o'clock. There was a good attendance of members. Dr. George Stewart, F. R. G.S., President, in the chair. After reading the minutes of the last monthly meeting, the Council Secretary, W. C. H. Wood, Esq., submitted the annual report to the Society for the past year:— ANNUAL REPORT. QUEBEC, January 13th, 1892. The Council of the Society submit herewith, for the in formation of the members, their annual statement, for the year 1891. To this report are appended the returns of the Treasurer and Librarian, which, it is hoped, will prove satisfactory. By death, the Society lost last year two of its most prominent members, citizens of high character and integrity, viz:—Chief Justice, the Hon. Sir Andrew Stuart, and J. W. Dunscomb, Esq., for many years Collector 6 of Customs at this port. Both gentlemen were closely identified with the fortunes of the Society in earlier days, and up to a very short time ago, their zeal and interest in the aims of the Society, were unabated. Sir Andrew Stuart was ever willing and eager to advance the cause of historical research, and the study of letters. Mr. Dun scomb was always in call, and his great abilities, allied to a fine literary taste, were at the disposal of the Society at all times. With regret we have to announce, that twelve members have seen fit to send in their resignations. But on the other hand, the Society has gained eleven new members. The active membership is 181, while in 1891 it stood at 184. Six gentlemen were made corresponding members, viz., General James Grant Wilson, New York ; J. G. Bartholomew, F.R.G.S., London ; Wm. L. Stone, Esq.; Rev. Moses Harvey, LL.D., F.R.S.C.; Gen. Charles W. Darling, Utica, N.Y., and James Goudie, North Evan ston, Ill. During the year, a course of lectures was held in the rooms of the Society, and attracted very good audiences. The President, Dr. Stewart, opened the course, on the 27th January, with an address on the life and writings of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. On the 10th March, Mr. F. C. Würtele, Librarian, read a paper on The English Cathedral of Quebec, he was followed on the 26th of March by Mr. W. C. H. Wood, Council Secretary, who lectured on Novels. Archibald Campbell, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents, read a paper on the 31st March, on the Royal William, the pioneer of ocean steam navigation, and Mr. W. A. Ashe, F.R.A.S., Corresponding Secretary, closed the lecture season, on the 17th April, with an account of a trip to Labra dor, with notes on the projected Labrador Railway. The Council, on the recommendation of Archibald Camp bell, Esq., loaned to the great Naval Exhibition, held in England in May, the model of the Royal William, the first 7 steamer to cross the Atlantic by steam alone. The Royal William was built in Quebec City, and the model was presented to the Society many years ago. It attracted much attention at the Exhibition, and the Honorary Secre tary, Captain Sir Alfred Jephson, R. N., thanked the Coun cil for the privilege of placing so appropriate and interest ing a relic on view. All the Historical Societies of Canada have done good work during the past year, and very many papers of great historic interest have been read in each. Most of these have been published in the Transactions and Proceedings of the several bodies. The principal Historical Societies in the Dominion are the Royal Society of Canada, the Historical Society of Nova Scotia, the Historical Society of New Brunswick, the Historical Society of Manitoba, the Society of Canadian Literature of Montreal, Société Histo rique of Montreal, Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal, Society of Historical Studies of Montreal, Cercle Littéraire Français of Montreal, Institut Canadien of Que bec, Canadian Institute of Toronto, Literary and Scientific Society of Ottawa, Institut Canadien-Français of Ottawa, Hamilton Association of Hamilton, Ontario, Wentworth Historical Society of Hamilton, Ontario, Cercle Catholique of Quebec, and our own. The Royal Society of Canada held its tenth general meet ing in May, at Montreal. This was the first time that that body ever held a meeting away from Ottawa. The session was largely attended, and there were many dele gates from other learned bodies, from all parts of Canada and the United States. The Literary and Historical Society of Quebec was represented by Vice-President, the Very Rev. R. W. Norman, D.D., D.C.L., Dean of Quebec, who present ed a report, which the Royal Society will print in its yearly volume of proceedings. 8 Last year, we published a volume of transactions, cover ing the sessions of 1889 to 1891. Separately were also pub lished a copious index of the lectures, papers and historical documents published by our Society, with a list of the un published papers read before the Society, from 1829 to 1891,–the work of our indefatigable Librarian, Fred. C. Würtele, Esq.,-and a journal of the voyage of the Brun swick Auxiliaries from Wolfenbüttel to Quebec, by F.W. Mel sheimer, Chaplain to the Duke of Brunswick's Dragoon Re giment, Minden, 1776. The Journal was presented to the Society by Wm. L. Stone, Esq., of Jersey City, N.J., author of the Life and Times of Sir Wm. Johnson. For the trans lation, into English, of the first part, we are indebted to Mr. William Wood, Council Secretary. Mr. Stone furnished the translation of the second part. The Society hopes to be in a position to publish a volume of transactions this year also. Several new books and periodicals have been added to the library, and a handsome new carpet has been put down. The room is now heated by hot water. These evidences of prosperity have only been realized by the strictest econ omy, and the Council hope that the members will strength en them, by inducing citizens who are not now enrolled in our books, to send in their names for membership. Our library is rich in books, manuscripts and valuable historical documents, the reading room is well supplied with first class periodicals, in English and French, the museum, though small, is interesting, and the course of lectures, annually provided, should attract the cultivated and studious. Mem bers pay but four dollars a year for these privileges, and there is no reason why our membership should not, at least, be duplicated before the year 1892 has passed away. The Council hope that the Government will see its way to continue the grant of five hundred dollars, this year, as – usual. 0 On Thursday, the 15th of November, 1891, by special invitation, the President represented the Society at the ceremony of unveiling the memorial erected by the citizens of Quebec, to the memory of the late Major Charles J. Short and Staff Sergeant G. Wallick, of “B” Battery, Canadian Artillery. The exercises marked a deed of heroism which the people of Quebec will long remember with gratitude and pride. In conclusion, it may not be out of place to mention here, that during the past year, the President has answered the following number of historical queries, viz., seventy-three from Canada, fifty-eight from the United States, nineteen from the British Isles, two from Calcutta, one from Spain and eleven from France,—all relating to our local and provincial history. Some of the questions were very trivial, but the greater of them necessitated careful examination of authorities, and various public documents. - - GEORGE STEWART, President. WILLIAM WOOD, Council Secretary. 10 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. The Librarian begs to report that 1,862 volumes have been issued to members during the past year, which is an increase of 300 volumes over last year, viz.: Total number of Books and Magazines taken out of Library during the year 1891.

From the repeated requests by our mem bers for the latest written works of fiction of high standard, the Librarian would suggest that bound copies of such works be procured as soon as possible after their publica tion. The mainstay of the Society is the library, and there being no restrictions in either the charter or by-laws con cerning the purchase of books, the requirements of the 11 members should at least be favorably considered by the new Council. A card catalogue has been commenced and so far 2,000 volumes have been entered and numbered. There are still some 12,000 remaining to be done, and the work, which was stopped by the alterations to the room, will be resumed at once and pushed on as expeditiously as possible. According to new arrangements with the lessors, a hot-water heating apparatus has been placed in position, which, together with the new carpet, has added greatly to the comfort and appearance of the library, and it would be a further improvement were the tables recovered in leather.

Had it not been for the assistance and co-operation of Mr. Antony S. Chambers, chairman of W. & R. Chambers Ltd, this study would never have become a reality. Not only did he initially give an unknown American permission to study the firm's archives, but he has subsequently provided whatever I needed to facilitate my research. Gracious and generous, he is a worthy descendent of the first Robert Chambers. All associated with the Chambers firm— directors and warehousemen alike— played an important part in my research, from answering technical queries to helping unearth records almost forgotten. Equally helpful in their own way were the librarians of the University of Edinburgh Library and the National Library of Scotland. Finally, the people of Edinburgh made a signif­ icant, albeit indirect, contribution. From them I learned something of what it means to a Scot to be a Scot. In this country I owe my greatest debt to my adviser, Professor Richard D.

  • Pursuing a Seat in Congress (1843-1847) in 1843, Mary Lincoln
    Chapter Seven “I Have Got the Preacher by the Balls”: Pursuing a Seat in Congress (1843-1847) In 1843, Mary Lincoln, “anxious to go to Washington,” urged her husband to run for Congress.1 He required little goading, for his ambition was strong and his chances seemed favorable.2 Voters in the Sangamon region had sent a Whig, John Todd Stuart, to Congress in the two previous elections; whoever secured that party’s nomination to run for Stuart’s seat would probably win.3 POLITICAL RIVALS Lincoln faced challengers, the most important of whom were his friends John J. Hardin and Edward D. Baker. Charming, magnetic, and strikingly handsome, the 1 Reminiscences of a son (perhaps William G.
