We also thank Elizabeth Cadwalader, one of our volunteer copyeditors and proof readers, whose keen eye and professional devotion have measurably benefited the magazine (and therefore readers) over the past several years. We can only hope to find a replacement for her. Cover design: Detail, "Capture of the City of Washington," from Rapin's History of England (Library of Congress/Francis De C. Hamilton.)

John Rodgers, by Costantina Coltolini, c. 1803. (U.S. Naval Historical Center. The Baltimore Merchants' Warships: Maryland and Patapsco in the Quasi-War with France FREDERICK C. LEINER The launching of the citizen-built sloop oi vi^x Maryland on 3 June 1799, from William Price's shipyard in Fells Point, "drew together an immense con- course of spectators, who filled the adjacent wharves, and occupied a number of vessels, which were moored in the channel for that purpose." At six o'clock, the 114-foot long Maryland slid down her ways and splashed into the water. Armed merchant ships in the harbor—and most merchant ships mounted cannon against the threat of French privateers in the state of Quasi-War between the two republics— the Channing Betsy, the Isabella, the Industrious Maty, the David Stewart, the Olive—aW fired off "Federal salutes." Other cannon fired salvoes from the wharves and from the defensive entrenchments at Whetstone Point, just beginning to be called Fort McHenry. Not since the navy launched the frigate Constellation nearly two years before had Baltimore beheld such a scene: The steady and majestic movement of the ship, the immense crowd of spectators which occupied the surrounding wharves and eminences, the continued roar of cannon, and repeated huzzas, which seemed to rend the circumambient air, formed a tout ensemble. ... In the evening, several splendid entertainments were given on board different vessels in the harbor, and the Select Company were munuficently entertained, with a number of other citizens, at Mr. Price's house. The spectacle at Fells Point had its sequel less than three weeks later. On 20 June 1799 the citizens of Baltimore launched a second sloop of war into the harbor, this one from the shipyard of the French emigre shipwright Louis de Rochbrune. Called the Chesapeake (but renamed the Patapsco after the navy recalled that a frigate building at Norfolk was to have the bay's name), she too slid down the ways from Fells Point into the harbor "amidst the loud acclamations of a large concourse of spectators, the discharge of cannon from the new bvigjohn Bnckwood, and a ship at the fort, seconded by vollies from the volunteers and marines on board." De Rochbrune repaid the "patriotic gentlemen" who subscribed to and built the Mr. Leiner, a lawyer in Baltimore, has published several articles on the American sailing navy.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • News and Notes 1980-1989
    NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.
