    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

    THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN LITERATURE UPON MODERN MUSICAL COMPOSITION BY FAY WOOD SWARTZ THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF MUSIC IN MUSIC COLLEGE OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1917 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS June 1, 19(D7 THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE THESIS PREPARED UNDER MY SUPERVISION BY _MISS FAY FOOr SWARTZ ENTITLED THE- .IK-FL-IJE.N.CE QF-AMERICl-I^. LI.TER1TIJE.E UP.OS :.1CDERK MUSICAL C,CMPCSITICN._.._.___ IS APPROVED BY ME AS FULFILLING THIS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF. DACKELOR OF I^SIC Approved: INTRODUCTION Of all the arts, there are surely no two more closely re- late! and inter-dependent than literature and music. To becoir.e only partially acquainted with Milton, Browning or Goethe and to note their allusions to music is to realize that they were deeply in- terested in that art. On the other hand, we co-uld hardly have been blessed with great oratorios, masses, operas, cantatas, and songs but for the literary texts upon which they are based. It is certain- ly true that the musician am the literate have always gone hand in hana. As a result, composers have, from the beginning used texts rrom German, English, Italian, French and other literatures as the basis of their inspiration for many fine operas, oratorios, masses, and orchestral works. It m.ay seerr to sere as though American liter- ature has had little influence upon musical composition, that texts from that source have not been found sufficiently worthy for adap- tation to musical settings.

  • The Notebook of Bass Otis, Philadelphia Portrait Painter
    The Notebook of Bass Otis, Philadelphia Portrait Painter THOMAS KNOLES INTRODUCTION N 1931, Charles H. Taylor, Jr., gave the American Antiquarian Society a small volume containing notes and sketches made I by Bass Otis (1784-1 S6i).' Taylor, an avid collector of Amer- ican engravings and lithographs who gave thousands of prints to the Society, was likely most interested in Otis as the man generally credited with producing the first lithographs made in America. But to think of Otis primarily in such terms may lead one to under- estimate his scope and productivity as an artist, for Otis worked in a wide variety of media and painted a large number of portraits in the course of a significant career which spanned the period between 1812 and 1861. The small notebook at the Society contains a varied assortment of material with dated entries ranging from 1815 to [H54. It includes scattered names and addresses, notes on a variety of sub- jects, newspaper clippings, sketches for portraits, and even pages on which Otis wiped off his paint brush. However, Otis also used the notebook as an account book, recording there the business side of his life as an artist. These accounts are a uniquely important source of information about Otis's work. Because Otis was a prohfic painter who left many of his works unsigned, his accounts have been I. The notebook is in the Manuscripts Department, American Andquarian Society.

From Sunday, June 12, through Sunday, September 18, the Society will be open from nine until four, Monday through Friday.

THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY William Birch: His Philadelphia Views Copyright, 1949, by Martin P. Snyder N 1698 Gabriel Thomas, writing for Europeans one of the first accounts of Philadelphia, predicted optimistically that "in a very short space of time she will, in all probability, make a fine I 1 Figure in the World, and be a most Celebrated Emporeum." One hundred years later, a volume of engraved plates was published there which demonstrated to the world that his prophecy had been fulfilled. This work, The City of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania North America; as it appeared in the Year 1800, was the idea and the product of William Russell Birch, who had been born in England in 1755 and had come to Philadelphia in 1794. An artist by profes- sion, he was celebrated in the painting of miniatures in enamel, an art then very popular in the mother country. At the height of his powers and possessed of an established reputation, he was in the frame of mind for a new venture.2 1 Gabriel Thomas, An Historical and Geographical Account of the Province and Country of Pensilvania; and of West-New-Jersey in America (London, 1698), 37.

  • The Hall of Fantasy Nathaniel Hawthorne
    The Hall of Fantasy Nathaniel Hawthorne *1 t has happened to me, on various occasions, to find myself in a certain edifice which would appear to have some of the characteristics of a I public exchange. Its interior is a spacious hall, with a pavement of white marble. Overhead is a lofty dome, supported by long rows of pillars of fantastic architecture, the idea of which was probably taken from the Moorish ruins of the Alhambra, or perhaps from some enchanted edifice in the Arabian tales. The windows of this hall have a breadth and grandeur of 1 “The Hall of Fantasy” was originally published in the Pioneer in 1843. It was col- lected in Mosses from an Old Manse (1846), upon the second edition of which (1854) this text is based. Pioneer released only three issues, in January, February, and March of 1843, in two of which Hawthorne’s work appeared: “The Hall of Fantasy” in the second issue, and “The Birth-mark” in the third. (See Edwin D. Mead, “Lowell’s Pioneer,” New England Magazine, volume V, October 1891, pp. 235-248, available at http://books.google.com/books?id=TbUVAAAAYAAJ.) The original Pioneer edition differed substantially from later versions, mainly in that it included some short phrases and two long sections that were altered or cut from subsequent editions; those smaller changes are described in these footnotes, and the two long sections are reproduced in the Appendix below. a public exchange – a building where local merchants meet to buy, sell, and do business fantastic – fantastical; fanciful, whimsical, marvelous the Moorish ruins of the Alhambra – Alhambra (the “red palace” in Arabic) was for several centuries the castle and fortress of the Moorish rulers of Granada in southern Spain.
