History of St. Andrew's Society of St. John, N.B., Canada, 1798 to 1903 c- LAUCHLAN DONALDSON. A HISTORY ST. ANDREW'S SOCIETY ST. JOHN, N. B., CANADA. 1798 TO 1903. FALLEN JACK, B. A., D. c. L., K. c. Late Recorder of the City of St. John. ST. JOHN, N. B. STRKET. J. A. MCMILLAN, 98 PRINCE WILLIAM 1903. p REFACE. to his room for many years, with dis- abilities arising from more or less painful and serious CONFINEMENTillness, has somewhat interfered with the work of the writer of this history. It may further be alleged that the postponement of the issuing of the annals until' a century after the inauguration of the Society has resulted in the loss of much important and interesting material. This postpone- ment has, however, not been without some compensation, for had all the material been secured, the volume might have assumed dimensions, perhaps beyond the demand. The plan generally pursued has been to give, when procurable, an account of each annual festival, a biographical sketch of each President and Chaplain, and of a few conspicuous members of the Society, not always office holders, with an occasional refer- ence to financial conditions and social changes, and incidents in some sense relating to the organization. The temptation to increase the number of references to prominent persons holding membership in the Society has been very great, but has been steadily resisted in view of the fact that a history of a body and not of a number of individuals was the end in view. It may be necessary to state, with a view to a proper understanding, that the practice of St. Andrew's Society has always been to consider the ordinary continuance in office as conterminous with the dominical year following the annual election if a member had been elected President at the ; thus, annual meeting in November, 1820, he would be regarded as President for 1821. To the members of the Publication Committee the author tenders his cordial thanks for many valuable services, but in this connection he begs to refer to Mr. J. Roy Campbell as eminently helpful, and it may be added, that to his exertions is due the collection of portraits contained in the volume. Notwithstanding his efforts he has been unable to obtain portraits of Presidents William Pagan, John Black, Colin Campbell, Alexander McLeod or Dr. John Boyd. With the hope that the book may prove to some extent useful and attractive to his brothers of the Society and others, The Author remains their faithful servant, I. ALLEN JACK. c ONTENTS.

Allen Jack, 213 I INTRODUCTION. / y ^O four distinguished saints is assigned a pre-eminent position in some portion of the British Isles, and of X these St. Andrew stands well to the front. He only of the four was a personal follower and chosen disciple of Christ, and to him so often fell the pleasing task of bringing strangers to the Master, that he has been aptly termed by some ' ' the introducer. ' ' The fact that he has been selected as the patron of Scotland might also be urged as an additional evidence of his exalted position did not Caledonian modesty prevent. But the Scot is not so wedded to his own selection that he is induced to withhold honor where honor is due. As far back as 1390, in the reign of Richard II of England, John, Lord Welles, an English noble- man, was sent as ambassador to Scotland, and, while attending a banquet there, as a result of a discussion upon the relative prowess of the men of either nation, he challenged any Scot of fitting rank to meet him in combat, and thus determine which of them was the better man. Sir David Lindsay, of Glenesk, promptly accepted the offer, and appointed the festi- " val of St. George for the day of combat, be reason that he was some-time ane valiant knight." The encounter took place on the day appointed on London bridge, in presence of the king and court and a vast concourse of spectators, and (9) 10 INTRODUCTION. St. George deigned to smile upon the doughty northern. Sir David received the full shock of his opponent's lance, which broke in pieces on his helmet and visor, and then, to ' ' ' ' disprove the charge that he was locked or tied to his saddle, " vaulted from his seat and back again, right deliverly," with- out using the stirrup or receiving assistance. Each having failed to vanquish the other on horseback, they dismounted and fought on foot, when Sir David managed to thrust his dagger's point between the joints of his antagonist's armor, lifted him off his feet, and hurled him to the ground, where he lay at the victor's mercy, which, in all gentleness and courtesy, was duly extended, notwithstanding a hint to kill from the English king. Had it been deemed advisable, the Scottish people might easily have selected a patron from among the native born saints of Scotland, of which there were many. Ireland gladly accepted one of these, St. Patrick of glorious memory, for her patron, and there is some reason to believe that she received minor benefits from the sister kingdom. St. Fechan, a true Scot, was a great builder of churches, and from him and one of these the town of Ecclefechaii, i. e., ccclesia, the church of Fechan, derives its name. Now Ecclefechaii, as every one knows, or ought to know, is renowned as the birthplace of Carlyle, and also for its fine potatoes. Again, it is hoped that no honest etymologist will deny that one of the choicest samples of what comes out of the sea, when ready for the cook, receives its designation indirectly from another Scot, St. Finnan. Can there, then, be any doubt that when, in by-gone days, Irishmen sang Pitaties and fish are a very good dish On St. Patrick's day in the morning they meant Ecclefechaii tatties and Finnan haddies ? Ireland and Scotland have more than once been in accord upon important matters, and there was, indeed, once a time when the Irish were known as Scots, which sometimes has led to confusion. St. Jerome, for instance, having referred to a certain Irishman as Scotorum one trans- p^dt^bus prczgravahis , INTRODUCTION. I 1 lator describes him as "made fat with Scotch flummery," while another, whose ignorance is exceeded only by his impu- dence, renders the clause "having his belly filled and his head bedulled with Scotch porridge." But hagiology and the past or present relationship existing between the folk of Scotland and those of England, Ireland and Wales are, perhaps, little germane to the subject to be considered, and their discussion must not be unduly prolonged- In truth, there is, perhaps, reason to believe that most of the votaries of St. Andrew take little pains to master the details of his life and character, and in imagination regard him, although in a truly exalted way, as one of themselves. Not that they think of him as wearing the kilt or a Tarn o' Shanter, but rather as the embodiment of their national virtues and the sympathizer in their national reminiscences, pride and aspirations. At least it is a pretty general rule that when Scots or their descendants, after their wont when far from the land of the heather, league for social and kindly purposes by reason of national ties, the name of St. Andrew is adopted by the association. It is not necessary to descant at length upon the beauty arid utility of such organizations, but a few words may not be out of place. The Scot has no tendency whatever to on the one of his segregation ; contrary, strong points is a capacity to adapt himself to circumstances, and readily and thoroughly to become a member of the community which claims, or has a right to claim, him as such. He is usually religious, and, if occasionally he yields to scepticism or agnosticism, he does so seriously and never with offensive flippancy. Perhaps his strongest points are his integrity and his self-respect, and although, through cherishing the former, he may sometimes become parsimonious, though hardly ever inhospitable, and although his self-respect may develop into conceit, his intelligence, his good common sense, and his recognition of what is due by him to others usually save him from being socially objectionable in any way. But while well equipped, and in every way disposed to mingle with others, those of Scottish birth and descent are, for certain purposes, naturally, if not necessarily, drawn together.

  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

Desire for Perpetuation: Fairy Writing and Re-creation of National Identity in the Narratives of Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang Yuki Yoshino A Thesis Submitted to The University of Edinburgh for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Literature 2013 Abstract This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang.

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

FOREWORD One of the most curious effects of our times has been the destruction of the family or clan as a unit, and while in the smaller towns and in the co~try some attempts are still made to keep the family spirit alive; it is surely doomed by the modern method of living and the individualistic attitude of the near past is slowly changing to a mass movement of the peoples who are sorting th~mselves according to business trades and occupations. The destruction of the family or clan was largely accelerated by the exodus of young men to new and undeveloped countries, where parental control was impossible, and marriages were frequently made in directions where there could be no family knowledge, thereby serving but more fully to destroy the clan spirit. The result of the wide dispersal of famil­ ies in new countries was inevitably the cause of a break that could not be mended, owing to the not infrequent lack of vital records. The writer's research work took him far afield and in endeavoring to trace all the various lines of the family it was not an unusual occurrence to receive a letter from some of the more outlying members of the family inquiring "Who are we?" or "Please tell us about our family." It was frequently the writer's good fortune to be able to give the information required, thereby tying the lost members to the greater body.

ABSTRACT Child labours constituted a visible and important element of the urban landscape in late 19th centuq Saint John, New Brunswick. Hundreds of children found employment selling newspapers, taking in sewing. driving teams or working in one of the cityfs numerous factories or retail establishments. Working-class boys and girls went to work because their families needed their earnings to make ends meet and because employers required a cheap and productive workforce. The visibility of urban child labourers and their harsh working conditions attracted the attention of local progressive-minded reformers. These men and women endorsed a collectivist philosophy which downplayed individual rights and stressed the need for state intervention in the private sphere to improve social conditions.

    “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 - 1930 Heather McIntyre Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Heather McIntyre, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii ABSTRACT “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 – 1930 Heather McIntyre Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2020 Heather Murray This thesis discusses the various rhetorical, logical, and legal methods the medical profession used to regulate faith healing in North America. In so doing, it illuminates larger questions about the place of religion and authority over the body in modernity. It uses a source base of medical journals, legal documents, and church records to illustrate how doctors positioned themselves as the rational and godly choice for sick people. While faith healing was originally one of many “cures” and kinds of medicine available to North Americans during the 19th century, the medical field rapidly professionalized and supported laws requiring anyone claiming to practice medicine to adhere to one form of scientifically- based medicine. To support this change, physicians used the category of “quackery,” which implies backwardness and superstition, to illustrate the hazards of faith healing and other alternative medicines. Later, the rise of psychology in the 1890s reshaped physicians’ view of faith healing, and they came to explain its claims of success by arguing that “suggestion,” or messages to a person’s unconscious beliefs, can cure particular (gendered) kinds of mental illnesses. Doctors and clergy became curious about the safe use of suggestion, and embarked on experiments like the Emmanuel Movement.

P.O. Box 3037 Westport, CT 06880 Author: Julie Abell Horn, M.A., R.P.A. January 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC), on behalf of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP), is proposing Capital Project No. SER-200208, which involves the construction of new storm sewers and appurtenances, street reconstruction (i.e. final paving, grading), and a new stormwater outfall in the Tottenville neighborhood of Staten Island. One of these site locations is situated at the terminus of Amboy Road, extending from Wards Point Avenue to the U.S. Pierhead and Bulkhead Line in the Arthur Kill (Figures 1 and 2). The new outfall would be located at approximately the same location as an existing drainage outlet, which currently contains a concrete drainage swale. It would be constructed within a 40 foot wide section of an 80 foot wide right-of-way leading from the intersection of Wards Point Avenue and Amboy Avenue to Arthur Kill. The right-of-way ranges from 228 feet in length on the north to 242 feet in length on the south.
