Here rest Noble and thoughtful men, who boldly urged O'er the unfathomed main their slender keel, To cast amid the rocks a nation's seed, Guarding its infant life from 'whelming blast, And the red Indian's ambush. Here repose The Cecrops =* of this Athens, — and a band Who on its first foundations toiled, and fell, Nor saw its glory even from such far heights As to the prophet's glance, on Pisgah's cliff, Revealed the promised land, and Israel's tribes In peace rejoicing. * See Notes, p. 189. 10 3&infl*s Cfcapel aSurCal^flrounU. Seer and sage are here, The head of honored rulers, and the heart That left no record, save the common throb Of this our taxed and frail humanity. They sleep as in the acorn sleeps the oak, Or in the depth of some untroubled lake The lily's germ, whose fresh, green, lustrous leaf, And fragrant flower, shall clothe its breast with pride. Like these they wake, but not like these shall fade: For to the trees of heaven there comes no frost, No sere decay, nor time to cast the leaf. Then o'er this gate of funeral sorrow plant The banner-staff of immortality, And on its scroll inscribe His Name, who said The dead shall rise again. Methinks I hear A low, sweet whisper from each mouldering bed, " Yea ! we shall rise again. The trump shall sound, The sown in weakness shall be raised in power." So mourn ye not the holy dead, but lift The hymn of praise for life that cannot die. L. H. SIGOURNEY. Hartford, April 6, 1852. Sntrnirttrttntt- FOR the facts relating to the early history of the Chapel Burying-ground, we are indebted to Dr. N. B. Shurtleff, a gentleman distinguished for his general antiquarian lore, and who, in regard to this particular subject, has a more accurate and thorough information, probably, than any or all other persons among us. As is well known, this was the first ground set apart for the burial of the dead, in the town of Boston. But at what time it was first enclosed and dedicated to its present use, can probably never be with certainty ascertained. Though the attention of many of those interested in the ancient .relics and landmarks of the first settlers has been directed to this point, so far as can be discovered, no written or printed evidence has been pre­ served, and no tradition possessing any degree of plausi­ bility has been transmitted, which would warrant any con­ fident statement in regard to it. A tradition has been current which connects the form­ ation of this burial-ground with the death of Isaac Johnson, the excellent friend and patron of the Massa- 12 ftutrofcucUon. chusetts colonists. It has been commonly supposed that he lies buried within the walls of the cemetery; and a grave-stone, not long ago, was to be seen near the south­ west corner, which was pointed out to strangers as his. This tradition was adopted by Hutchinson, who informs us that Mr. Johnson " was buried, at his own request, in part of the ground upon Tri-montain or Boston, which he had chosen for his lot, the square between School- street and Queen-street." He also says that " he may be said to have been the idol of the people, for they ordered their bodies, as they died, to be buried round him; and this was the reason of appropriating, for a place of burial, what is now called the old burying- place, adjoining to King's Chapel." But, notwithstanding this confident and unqualified declaration of Hutchinson, there is great reason to ques­ tion its correctness. The journalist on whose authority he undoubtedly relied did not commence his jottings until more than forty years after the event is supposed to have taken place which he records. There is no evi­ dence whatever that Mr. Johnson ever owned land in Boston, or had a dwelling-house there. The grave­ stone, referred to above, was a thin slate stone. It was of the second kind used in the order of time,—the older ones being of a species of porphyritic greenstone, — and could never have been designed to mark the last resting- place of the most valued man among the first settlers. Kntrouuctioit. 13 There are other considerations which would point to another place of sepulture. His wife, the Lady Arbella Johnson, whose death occurred only a month before his own, was buried in Salem. Mr. Johnson died Sep­ tember 30, 1630. On the 28th of the same month, just two days previous, the Court of Assistants, of which he was a member, commenced a session at Charlestown ; and it was not until the nineteenth of the next month that, in accordance with a change determined upon some weeks previously, the General Court of the colony was held in Boston. It was between these two meetings that the removal to Boston took place. It is quite as probable that Johnson was in Charlestown, at the time of his death, as in Boston. If he died in Charlestown, in lack of any other information on the subject, it would seem to be more reasonable to suppose that his remains would have been carried to Salem, to be laid beside those of a wife so dearly beloved and so recently dead, rather than have been placed in a neighboring and unsettled town. It is with great reluctance that we throw doubt on a tradition of this kind, but we fear that there is not sufficient authority to warrant our receiving it as well founded. The first known burial in Boston is thus mentioned by Gov. Winthrop, under the date of the 18th of February, 1630-1: " Captain Welden, a hopeful young gentleman, and an experienced soldier, died at Charles- 2 14 SntroDuction. town of a consumption, and was buried at Boston with a military funeral." Governor Dudley, in his letter to the Countess of Lincoln, uses the following language in relation to the same event: " Amongst others who dyed about this time, was Mr. Robert Welden, who, in the time of his sickness, we had chosen to be captain of 100 foot, but before he took possession of his place, he dyed, the sixteenth of this February, and was buried as a souldier, with three vollyes of shott." The burial-ground, according to its present limits, is nearly square, and is situated in the most central part of the peninsula which forms the city proper, being bounded on the west by Tremont-street, and separated from School-street on the south by King's Chapel.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • Bostonians and Their Neighbors As Pack Rats
    Bostonians and Their Neighbors as Pack Rats Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/24/2/141/2744123/aarc_24_2_t041107403161g77.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 By L. H. BUTTERFIELD* Massachusetts Historical Society HE two-legged pack rat has been a common species in Boston and its neighborhood since the seventeenth century. Thanks Tto his activity the archival and manuscript resources concen- trated in the Boston area, if we extend it slightly north to include Salem and slightly west to include Worcester, are so rich and diverse as to be almost beyond the dreams of avarice. Not quite, of course, because Boston institutions and the super—pack rats who direct them are still eager to add to their resources of this kind, and constantly do. The admirable and long-awaited Guide to Archives and Manu- scripts in the United States, compiled by the National Historical Publications Commission and now in press, contains entries for be- tween 50 and 60 institutions holding archival and manuscript ma- terials in the Greater Boston area, with the immense complex of the Harvard University libraries in Cambridge counting only as one.1 The merest skimming of these entries indicates that all the activities of man may be studied from abundant accumulations of written records held by these institutions, some of them vast, some small, some general in their scope, others highly specialized. Among the fields in which there are distinguished holdings—one may say that specialists will neglect them only at their peril—are, first of all, American history and American literature, most of the sciences and the history of science, law and medicine, theology and church his- tory, the fine arts, finance and industry, maritime life, education, and reform.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.
