' M 7 FIFTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY. THe abiding nature of CHristian work for seamen, as well as tHe continued interest felt in it by tHe CHristian public, was manifest, at tHis year’s Anniversary, wHicH took place at tHe Broadway Tabernacle, 34tH St., and 6tH Ave., Xew York City, on tHe evening of SabbatH, 4tH May. THe resumé of tHe American S e a m e x ’ s F r ie n d S o ciety ’s operations for tHe twelvemontH ending on tHe 31st of last MarcH, was read by Secretary H a l l . Religious services prior to tHe sermon were conducted by Rev. A r t H u r P otts, lately our cHaplain at Ant­ werp, Belgium, and by Rev. AV. M. Taylor, D. D., pastor of tHe Tabernacle, wHo in introducing tHe preacHer, Rev. Dr. S. E. H errick, of Boston, spoke of Him as tHe son of an American sea captain wHo, many years ago, was led to CHrist, at sea, by tHe Spirit of God, at tHe exact time wHen prayers for His conversion were being offered at His New England Home. THe discourse of Rev. Dr. Herrick, which was requested for publi­ cation, and appears in connection with our Annual Report, not only attests the broad grasp of His theme which possessed the speaker’s mind, as well as the fervent emotion which inspired its utterance, but gives its impressive testimony to the fact that a Divine work once be­ gun in human hearts, passes, by God’s blessing, from one generation to the next, often with augmented force. iv FIFTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY.

We have thought a lot about this over the years and have come to realize that most of those who buy from us don’t consider themselves to be book collectors even though they may often buy collectible books. Rather, whether institutional or individual, they are thematic collectors—perhaps they collect topics related to their employment, a hobby, an institution, an interest, a region, a historical period, or even their family—and the things we sell, stories about some facet of their original owners’ lives, provide personal insights into interesting or important aspects of American life, history, or culture.

  • James Russell Lowell, As an Editor of the Atlantic Monthly, Toward Henry Thoreau
    “THE FIRST PERSON TO EXPRESS THE AMERICAN IDEA”1 His interest in the moral questions of the day has supplied the want of vitality in himself; his great facility at versification has enabled him to fill the ear with a copious stream of pleasant sound. But his verse is stereotyped; his thought sounds no depth, and posterity will not remember him. — Margaret Fuller I’ve come up with a new theory to account for the hostility displayed by James Russell Lowell, as an editor of The Atlantic Monthly, toward Henry Thoreau. As you are presumably aware, these two knew each other early, both during their school years together at Harvard in Cambridge, and after Thoreau’s graduation in Concord where Lowell had been exiled (“rusticated”) from Cambridge for lack of attention to his studies, to be privately tutored by the Reverend Barzillai Frost. Lowell grew fond of making snippy derogations of Thoreau — after all, Lowell was one of the effete Boston nobs, of inheritance and family social standing, who moved in the hoity-toity circles of the downtown movers and shakers, whereas Thoreau was a mere village Frenchie nobody who, sniff, needed to get his hands all dirty. When in 1858 Thoreau offered an essay on the Maine woods to The Atlantic Monthly, Lowell arbitrarily deleted a sentence about a pine tree in Maine, “It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still,” and Thoreau was powerless to correct him. Lowell simply refused to respond. Then Thoreau couldn’t get Lowell to pay him for the article, or even to communicate about the nonpayment.

  • Change and the Construction of Identity in the US
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: “THE SQUADRON UNDER YOUR COMMAND”: CHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN THE U.S. NAVY’S NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON, 1874-1897 James C. Rentfrow, PhD, 2012 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida Department of History This dissertation examines the transformation of the United States Navy as a fighting organization that took place on the North Atlantic Station between 1874 and 1897. At the beginning of this period, the warships assigned to this station were collectively administered by a rear-admiral, but were operationally deployed as individual units, each of whose actions were directed by their captains. By 1897 the North Atlantic, or “Home” Squadron as it was known, was a group of warships constituting a protean battle fleet – that is, an organized body moving and fighting in close-order, which meant that the actions of the captains were directed by a commanding admiral. The development of an American battle fleet resulted in the construction of a new organizational identity for the North Atlantic Squadron. This process was as critical as the eventual outcome. It was not linear, but one in which progress in critical areas was modulated by conflicting demands that caused distraction. From 1874-1888, exercises in fleet tactics under steam were carried out sporadically utilizing existing wooden cruising vessels. From 1889-1894, the last wooden cruisers were decommissioned and the Squadron consisted entirely of new steel warships. Ad-hoc concentrations of vessels for purposes besides exercise and training retarded the continued development of doctrine and tactics necessary for a multi-ship fighting capability during this time.

  • Black British North American Sailors in the Civil War Richard Reid
    Black British North American Sailors in the Civil War Richard Reid Pendant la guerre civile américaine, presque trois cents cinquante jeunes hommes de couleur venant des cinq colonies qui composaient l'Amérique du Nord britannique se sont portés volontaires dans la marine de l'Union. Cet article examine leur participation dans la guerre pour comprendre leurs identités sociales et leurs motivations pour s'enrôler. Une discussion de qui étaient ces hommes, comment et où ils se sont enrôlés, et l’autonomie qu'ils ont démontrée en choisissant leur service non seulement parle à la nature des communautés noires en Amérique du Nord britannique mais également à la nature évolutive de la guerre navale. On 16 May 1861, just one month after the fall of Fort Sumter and the start of the American Civil War, John Anderson, a twenty-one year old “mulatto” from Nova Scotia, enlisted in the Union navy at a rendezvous station in New York City. Although Anderson gave his occupation as “none,” he was rated as “ordinary seaman” indicating that he had extensive previous maritime experience. He signed on for three years although there is no record of the ship or ships on which he served.1 Indeed little more is known of John Anderson but then that is not remarkable. Very little is known or has been written of the hundreds of blacks from British North America who served in the Union navy during the Civil War. The best general or regional studies of Canadian involvement in the Civil War, such as Robin Winks’ Canada and the United States: The Civil War Years or Greg Marquis’ In Armageddon’s Shadow, give little more than brief anecdotes of black involvement in the war, especially in the naval war.2 None attempt, in any systematic way, to measure the number of men who volunteered.

  • Notes on “The Voyage of the USS Juniata (1883–1885)”
    Notes on “The Voyage of the USS Juniata (1883–1885)” John Dowling, Curator The images included in the June 2013 Cross-Currents photo essay, “The Voyage of the USS Juniata (1883–1885),” are digital scans made from a set of five-by-eight-inch glass plate negatives depicting scenes from a three-year (1883–1885) naval expedition to the Far East by the USS Juniata. The photographer was Asa M. Mattice, an officer on board (figure 1). Mattice, a native of New York State, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at the head of his class as a cadet engineer in 1874 and was later appointed to the teaching staff at Annapolis. He served on the USS Juniata beginning on November 30, 1882, when the ship departed from New York to join five other ships at the Asiatic Squadron. Mattice left the navy in 1889 and for the next ten years was associated with E. D. Leavitt of Boston as a consulting engineer. He later served as chief engineer for the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. In 1920 he was an advisory engineer for the Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company. He died suddenly of pneumonia on April 19, 1925, at the Engineer’s Club in New York, where he lived, and was buried upstate in Buffalo. The negatives of the images featured here were acquired from an antique dealer in Syracuse, New York, in 1998 by a friend and business associate with whom I share an interest in vintage photography.1 My friend, Sue, has authored several books on vintage clothing and was seeking photographs to document the period garb illustrated in her books.

CD3034.H9U54 1978 016.353008'775 78-606193 Foreword The General Services Administration, through the National Archives and Records Service, is responsible for administering the permanently valuable noncurrent records of the Federal Government. These archival holdings, now amounting to more than 1 million cubic feet, date from the days of the First Continental Congress and consist of the basic records of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our Government. The Presidential libraries of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson contain the papers of those Presidents and of many of their associates in office. These research resources document significant events in our Nation's history, but most of them are preserved because of their continuing practical use in the ordinary processes of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of scholars and students.
