Chaplain Oeneral of the "Rational Society Sons of tbe Kmerican IRevolution. •.Hbbress^^. An anniversary is, in its purpose and intent, a monument. Men carve upon a day, as upon material bronze or marble, some great name or some historic event. But the same law which bids Time to crumble granite into dust, and wear away the inscription on memorial brass, holds sway even where an annually recurring day is deeply graven with some record which we try to make imperish- able. Some of the Emperors of Rome decreed that their birthdays should be celebrated while the world should stand. Yet in this closing decade of the nineteenth century, does any living man know or care on what day of the year a Nero, a Caligula, or a Vespasian, first saw the light of this world ? A few years ago, and this unchangeable law of history seemed to have half obliterated from the twenty-second of February the memory of Washington. True, in our almanacs the day was marked as that which gave to the world the Father of his Country. Here and there an individual might casually recall to mind the event connected with the day.

  • Seven External Factors That Adversely Influenced Benedict Arnold’S 1775 Expedition to Quebec
    SEVEN EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT ADVERSELY INFLUENCED BENEDICT ARNOLD’S 1775 EXPEDITION TO QUEBEC Stephen Darley Introduction Sometime in August of 1775, less than two months after taking command of the Continental Army, Commander-in-Chief George Washington made the decision to send two distinct detachments to invade Canada with the objective of making it the fourteenth colony and depriving the British of their existing North American base of operations. The first expedition, to be commanded by Major General Philip Schuyler of Albany, New York, was to start in Albany and take the Lake Champlain-Richelieu River route to Montreal and then on to Quebec. The second expedition, which was assigned to go through the unknown Maine wilderness, was to be commanded by Colonel Benedict Arnold of New Haven, Connecticut.1 What is not well understood is just how much the outcome of Arnold’s expedition was affected by seven specific factors each of which will be examined in this article. Sickness, weather and topography were three external factors that adversely affected the detachment despite the exemplary leadership of Arnold. As if the external factors were not enough, the expedition’s food supply became badly depleted as the march went on. The food shortage was directly related to the adverse weather conditions. However, there were two other factors that affected the food supply and the ability of the men to complete the march. These factors were the green wood used to manufacture the boats and the return of the Lieutenant Colonel Roger Enos Division while the expedition was still in the wilderness.

This practice- based research explores the rich history of radio as an artistic medium and the relationship between the artist and technology, emphasising the role of the artist as a mediator between broadcast institutions and a listening public. It considers how radio art might be defined in relation to sound art, music and media art, mapping its shifting parameters in the digital era and prompting a consideration of how radio appears to be moving from a dispersed „live‟ event to one consumed „on demand‟ by a segmented audience across multiple platforms.

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.

HAR VEY JR. FOREWORD This book is a family tree containing all the known antecedents of the five Harvey brothers. Because of the custom of inheriting the paternal surname, most family histories are confined to tracing the nominal descendants of a single patriarch - usually with preference to the male issue. However, it seems that the host of forebears who combined to produce our composite personality should be more inter­ esting to investigate than an army of distant cousins, Regardless of our last name, we are equally related to every one of our direct antecedents in any given generation - by blood and hereditary influ­ ence. Therefore, this record inverts the customary pyramid of relationship in order to trace all antecedent families - maternal branches included. For example, there have been approximately 12 generations since the year 1650 at which early date in our country's history a present-day person would have had more than 2, 000 forefathers and mothers.
