Together, they are a representative sampling of the range of manuscript collections at HSP, but scholars are urged to pursue fruitful lines of inquiry to locate and use the scores of additional materials in each area that is surveyed here. There are numerous helpful unprinted guides at HSP that index or describe large collections. Some of these are listed below, especially when they point in numerous directions for research. In addition, the HSP has a printed Guide to the Manuscript Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP: Philadelphia, 1991), which includes an index of proper names; it is not especially helpful for searching specific topics, item names, of subject areas. In addition, entries in the Guide are frequently too brief to explain the richness of many collections. Finally, although the on-line guide to the manuscript collections is generally a reproduction of the Guide, it is at present being updated, corrected, and expanded. This survey does not contain a separate section on land acquisition, surveying, usage, conveyance, or disputes, but there is much information about these subjects in the individual collections reviewed below.

Keithian politics no longer had any significance; the old coalition which had gathered around the fiery and independent Governor ceased to exist almost with his departure for England in 1728. Only five of his supporters were returned to the legislature in 1729, and by the following year but three remained.2 The issues which created the controversies during the 1720's were already passe. The old leadership either died off, or gave up its positions of power, and in turn was supplanted during the next decade by a group of talented and younger men—Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Norris II, Israel Pemberton, Jr., William Allen, and James Hamilton.3 While party organization may have been more advanced in Penn- sylvania than in any other colony, it still depended upon personal relationships with control in the hands of a few wealthy families.

  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.

  • Book Reviews and Book Notes
    BOOK REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTES EDITED BY NORMAN B. WILKINSON James Logan and the Culture of Provincial America. By Frederick B. Tolles. (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1957. Pp. 228. $3.50.) The life of James Logan is the story of a poor Quaker lad of Scottish descent whom fortune snatched from obscurity for the role of Pennsylvania's foremost citizen during the first forty years of the eighteenth century. Born in Ulster, Ireland, in 1674, Logan's career began in 1699 when William Penn, recognizing his talents, chose the twenty-five year old schoolmaster of Bristol, England, for his secretary and land agent in Pennsylvania. Henceforth, the debt-ridden William Penn could be thankful that Proprietary affairs in Pennsylvania were entrusted to one as faithful and competent as James Logan. By writing a life of James Logan, Professor Tolles has fulfilled a need long recognized, for Logan's career is second in importance only to that of William Penn in the early history of Pennsylvania. Professor Tolles' fluent style makes for understanding and appreciation. The author's sympathetic treatment of his subject offers an avenue for considering Pennsylvania affairs from the Proprietary point of view. As Logan's activities reached out to include inter-colonial and imperial relations, the problems of the Empire are elucidated by his life. Logan's abiding interest in science and his accomplishments in this field illuminate the development of this branch of knowledge in America. The nature of Logan's duties at once brought him into conflict with the unicameral Pennsylvania legislature, which supposedly reflected the interests of the people at large.

  • 'Robert Sllis, Philadelphia <3Xcerchant and Slave Trader
    'Robert Sllis, Philadelphia <3XCerchant and Slave Trader ENNSYLVANIA, in common with other Middle Atlantic and New England colonies, is seldom considered as a trading center for PNegro slaves. Its slave traffic appears small and unimportant when compared, for example, with the Negro trade in such southern plantation colonies as Virginia and South Carolina. During 1762, the peak year of the Pennsylvania trade, only five to six hundred slaves were imported and sold.1 By comparison, as early as 1705, Virginia imported more than 1,600 Negroes, and in 1738, 2,654 Negroes came into South Carolina through the port of Charleston alone.2 Nevertheless, to many Philadelphia merchants the slave trade was worthy of more than passing attention. At least one hundred and forty-one persons, mostly Philadelphia merchants but also some ship captains from other ports, are known to have imported and sold Negroes in the Pennsylvania area between 1682 and 1766. Men of position and social prominence, these slave traders included Phila- delphia mayors, assemblymen, and members of the supreme court of the province. There were few more important figures in Pennsyl- vania politics in the eighteenth century than William Allen, member of the trading firm of Allen and Turner, which was responsible for the sale of many slaves in the colony. Similarly, few Philadelphia families were more active socially than the well-known McCall family, founded by George McCall of Scotland, the first of a line of slave traders.3 Robert Ellis, a Philadelphia merchant, was among the most active of the local slave merchants. He had become acquainted with the 1 Darold D.

  • Cliveden Bibliography
    Cliveden Resources and Bibliography Updated 11/15/02 Introduction The following list has three parts: Part I lists archival and other collections—many of them very large—that tell a part of the Cliveden story. Part II lists the various research tools and resources available at Cliveden. These include reports from numerous research projects undertaken since the site was given to the National Trust in 1972, many of them in computer-readable form. Part III is an extensive bibliography of works about Cliveden or the people who lived there. Because these publications are numerous, they have been divided into categories such as “Architecture” or “Tour Guides.” There are undoubtedly many omissions, but additional items will be added as they come to our attention, in the hope that the list will one day be comprehensive. Part I: Collections Primary source materials at Cliveden Chew family library Legal library contains approximately 200 items dating from 1627 to the late eighteenth century. General library includes later legal titles plus 800 general interest titles from the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Alphabetical author listing and shelf list available. Chew family papers 40+ linear feet of standard legal document boxes plus four large map cases of containing oversize materials. Item level finding aid available. Consists primarily of Chew family papers and photographs found in house after the bulk of collection was transferred to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in 1972. Object collections Approximately 3,000 objects dating from the mid-eighteenth century to 1972. Bulk of collection consists of furniture and other decorative arts materials, textiles, paintings and graphics.

  • The Scandalous Indian Policy of William Penn's Sons: Deeds and Documents of the Walking Purchase
    THE SCANDALOUS INDIAN POLICY OF WILLIAM PENN'S SONS: DEEDS AND DOCUMENTS OF THE WALKING PURCHASE By FRANCIS JENNINGS* N 1737 Thomas Penn and James Logan produced a show that I came to be called the \'AI alking Purchase or Indian Walk. This much-described incident ostensibly was the fulfillment of a con­ tract by which some Lenape Indians had sold a quantity of lands to be measured by a man walking for a day and a half from a fixed starting point. Penn and Logan forced the Vvalk upon un­ willing and resentful Indians who charged fraud consistently from the day of its performance until they finally received compensa­ tion twenty-four years later. During this period the anti-proprietary forces in Pennsylvania came to believe that the \'Alalk was a cause of Indian hostilities in the French and Indian \Var, and they lIsed it as the basis for a political campaign against Thomas Penn which led to a petition by Benjamin Franklin for a royal inquiry. In 1762 the Crown's commissioner, Sir \~Tilliam Johnson, presided over a turbulent hearing during which the chief Indian spokesman withdrew his charge that Thomas Penn had forged the Walk deed; but Johnson paid the Indians anyway at the end of the inquiry out of Thomas Penn's funds, thus raising some suspicions about the nature and purpose of the proceedings. There has been much contention over these highly dramatic events. Using the voluminous justifications prepared by Penn's lawyers amI administrators, one school has held that Penn was libeled unscrupulously for the partisan purposes of some schem­ ing Quakers working with that greatest schemer of them all, Benjamin Franklin.
