The approach is purposely broad, in order to include as many aspects of the history of the Commonwealth as possible. In writing this summary, no attempt was made to conduct original research in primary sources; rather, accessible secondary sources were consulted. The author of the original version of this summary was Polly Mattherly Rettig, a member of the staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission from 1970 until 1973. This edition has been has been revised and edited by Richard T. Early, Administrative Assistant and Staff Historian. Dr. George R. Horner, Archeologist and member of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, contributed the section on the Indians in Massachusetts. Acknowledgement is made to the Massachusetts Census Division for permission to reprint the population statistics of the Commonwealth. Appreciation is also expressed to the staffs of the Boston Athenaeum, the State Library of Massachusetts, and the Boston Public Library, for their assistance. Topography and Geology In form, Massachusetts is a long, relatively narrow strip of land extend- ing westward from the Atlantic Ocean, bounded on the north by New Hamp- shire and Vermont, on the west by New York, and on the south by Connecti- cut, Rhode Island, and the ocean. The state extends approximately between the latitudes of 41"^ 14' and 42*^ 53' N and covers a total area of 8,257 square miles, of which 390 square miles are water. Massachusetts has four major physiographic features: coastal lowlands, interior lowlands, dissected uplands, and ancient mountain remnants. The coastal lowlands include eastern Massachusetts with Cape Cod and the offshore islands. The coastline itself, approximately 250 miles long, is marked by a rugged shore— except along the South Shore and Cape Cod— and deep indentations, both evidence of early submergence and later uplift. Among the prominent coastal features are submerged river mouths, a number of good harbors, and Boston, Buzzards and Narragansett Bays. River falls and rapids found further inland are the result of lowering of the coastal plain. The outstanding feature of the coastal lowlands is Cape Cod, which arches sixty-five miles into the Atlantic. This peninsula and the neighboring islands —Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and sixteen Elizabeth Islands — are glacial in origin. During the gla- cial period, the entire state of Massachusetts was covered by the ice sheet, resulting in glaciation of rocks as far as Cape Cod and the islands, where traces can be found of the terminal moraine. The state's two interior lowlands are the Connecticut River Valley and the Berkshire Valley. The Connecticut Valley extends from the New Hampshire-Vermont border through Connecticut to Long Island Sound. It is drained throughout its length by the Connecticut River, the only large river in Massachusetts that is navigable for any considerable portion of its course. The valley's landscape is marked by curved wooded ridges running longitudinally to the river; these originated with intrusive lava that resisted erosion after outer, weaker layers of rock had worn away. To the west lies the Berkshire Valley, defined by the Berkshire Hills on the east and the Taconic Mountains on the west. The northern part of the valley is watered by streams cutting through the Taconics to the Hudson River, the southern part by the source of the Housatonic River. From Pittsfield north to the Vermont border, the valley is only six miles wide, but southward it opens into broad meadowlands Massachusetts' uplands are divided into eastern and western portions by the Connecticut Valley and join north of it to form northern New England's great central uplands. The eastern uplands,

  • 6. the Tudors and Jacobethan England
    6. The Tudors and Jacobethan England History Literature Click here for a Tudor timeline. The royal website includes a history of the Tudor Monarchs [and those prior and post this period]. Art This site will guide you to short articles on the Kings and Queens of the Tudor Music Dynasty. Another general guide to Tudor times can be found here. Architecture Click here for a fuller account of Elizabeth. One of the principle events of the reign of Elizabeth was the defeat of the Spanish Armada (here's the BBC Armada site). Elizabeth's famous (and short) speech before the battle can be found here. England's power grew mightily in this period, which is reflected in the lives and achievements of contemporary 'heroes' such as Sir Francis Drake, fearless fighter against the Spanish who circumnavigated the globe, and Sir Walter Raleigh (nowadays pronounced Rawley), one of those who established the first British colonies across the Atlantic (and who spelt his name in over 40 different ways...). Raleigh is generally 'credited' with the commercial introduction of tobacco into England .about 1778, and possibly of the potato. On a lighter note, information on Elizabethan costume is available here (including such items as farthingales and bumrolls). Literature Drama and the theatre The Elizabethan age is the golden age of English drama, for which the establishment of permanent theatres is not least responsible. As performances left the inn-yards and noble houses for permanent sites in London, the demand for drama increased enormously. While some of the smaller theatres were indoors, it is the purpose-built round/square/polygonal buildings such as The Theatre (the first, built in 1576), the Curtain (late 1570s?), the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), the Fortune (1600) and of course the Globe (1599) that are most characteristic of the period.

  • Canadian Templar Newsletter
    The Canadian Templar September 2015 Newsletter News and Report from our Grand Prior I hope you all enjoyed your summer and had a chance to enjoy some time off and relax. Some of the Priories had events during the summer and you can read about them below. On the international front, the next OSMTH Grand Magistral Meeting will be in Cologne, Germany at the end of the month, with a few Canadians attending. One of the agenda items will be the approval of new Regulations and Orders as well as new Statutes. This will bring some greater standardization to our Order. OSMTH has had significant growth in the number of Grand Priories over the last decade; growing from a few predominantly English speaking countries to over 20 multi- lingual countries, each with their own traditions and organizational nuances. With this has come some challenges on our internal governance. Once all is finalized, they will be part of the framework to revise our own Canadian orders. Another challenge of our relatively young organization is the collection and distribution of charitable funds. As has been stated in previous newsletters, our Canadian Revenue Agency is just one of many countries changing laws and making it more difficult for legitimate charities to operate. We Page 1 (OSMTH) have been waiting on the European Union to show some guidance on how they were going to tackle this similar issue. One would think this an easier task to have the EU show leadership to the rest of the world, but apparently not. At the end of last year, the 28 Member States of the EU failed to agree a consensus on moving the draft legislation forward, and the EU Commission and Presidency have therefore now removed the draft law from the EU legislative agenda in 2015.

    1 2, 3, 4 Dexter Row (1836) From Boston Landmark Commission’s Charlestown Historic Resources Study 1981 (E. W. Gordon, Consultant)*: 2, 3, 4, Dexter Row 2015 Dexter Row is a trio of flat front Greek Revival townhouses constructed of red brick with granite and brownstone trimmings. Originally six houses were part of the block- numbers 1, 5, and 6 are no longer extant. The buildings rise three stories from granite-faced basements to a gable roof, with two pedimented dormers per building. They have three bay main façades and side hall plans. There are partially below-grade basement entrances. 2 Flights of granite steps with ornate cast iron railings lead to recessed entrances. Outer entrance enframements consist of simple Doric pilasters with heavy pedimented entablatures, composed of brownstone, reworked on number 4. Multi-pane sidelights and transoms flank replacement front doors. The windows have a simple brownstone sills and lintels, with 1/1 wood sash except for 6/6 on number 4’s first floor. Tall second floor windows strike an elegant note and open onto cast iron railing/balconies (cast iron elements mostly intact). The tall second-floor windows of number 4 have been shortened. A broad oriel window/ storefront (ca. late 19th century?) covering two bays of number 3 features crisp paneling and openings containing a single pane of glass. An Italianate oriel (ca.1850s) has been added to number 2's second floor center. 3 Architect: Alexander Parris and/or George Minot Dexter? - Attributed Builder: Shadrach Varney-"developer", supervisor of construction" Original owner: Shadrach Varney and others Dexter Row has a rich inventory of cast iron elements with front yards bordered by circa late 1830s-1840s cast iron fencing, elegant stair rails with swirling curvilinear linear forms, and a pineapple motif worked into gate posts.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

  • "Theater and Empire: a History of Assumptions in the English-Speaking Atlantic World, 1700-1860"
    "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" BY ©2008 Douglas S. Harvey Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________________ Chairperson Committee Members* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Defended: April 7, 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Douglas S. Harvey certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" Committee ____________________________________ Chairperson ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Approved: April 7, 2008 ii Abstract It was no coincidence that commercial theater, a market society, the British middle class, and the “first” British Empire arose more or less simultaneously. In the seventeenth century, the new market economic paradigm became increasingly dominant, replacing the old feudal economy. Theater functioned to “explain” this arrangement to the general populace and gradually it became part of what I call a “culture of empire” – a culture built up around the search for resources and markets that characterized imperial expansion. It also rationalized the depredations the Empire brought to those whose resources and labor were coveted by expansionists. This process intensified with the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, and theater began representing Native Americans and African American populations in ways that rationalized the dominant society’s behavior toward them. By utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this research attempts to advance a more nuanced and realistic narrative of empire in the early modern and early republic periods.
