JAMES LOGAN the Political Career of a Colonial Scholar
JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

History of Upland, PA
Chronology of Upland, PA from 1681 through 1939 and A Chronology of the Chester Mills from 1681 through 1858. Land in the area of today’s Upland was entirely taken up in the 1600’s by Swedes, and laid out in “plantations”. Swedes and Finns had settled on the west bank of the Delaware River as early as 1650. The Swedes called this area “Upland”. Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam (now New York), forced the Swedes to capitulate and named the area “Oplandt”. September, 1664 – English Colonel Nichols captured New Amsterdam, it became “his majesty’s town of New York”. The Swedes decided it was “Upland” again. Local Indians were of the Lenni Lenape tribe – The Turtle Clan. An old Indian trail ran from Darby along the general route of the present MacDade Blvd. into the Chester area, where it followed today’s 24th Street to the present Upland Avenue. Here it turned down the hill passing the current Kerlin Street, and on to the area that is now Front Street where it turned right, following close to Chester Creek across the land which later would become Caleb Pusey’s plantation, and then made a crossing to the higher land on the opposite side of the creek. Dr. Paul Wallace, the Indian expert, sites this Indian trail; “The Indians could here cross over on stones and keep their moccasins dry”. The Indian name for the Chester Creek was “Meechaoppenachklan”, which meant. Large potato stream, or the stream along which large potatoes grow. From 1681 . William Penn, being a man who learned from the experiences of others, was intent on providing a vital infrastructure for the settler/land owners in the new colony. -
Shipley School Log Book for Boys' 1905 – 1917
Shipley School Log Book for Boys’ 1905 – 1917 This is an analysis of key issues affecting the school. It is not a direct transcript. The analysis is mine, and I have highlighted consistent themes under headings which are as follows: Staff Average attendances Causes of absence Regular visitors to the school Religious observances and Diocesan exams Subjects studied and games played HM Inspector and academic achievement National events, celebrations and outings Fabric of school building Points of interest Children mentioned by name From 1914 to 1917 there is an additional heading – Events related to 1914 – 1918 War We do not have Admissions or Attendance Registers for this period so names of pupils is necessarily restricted to those who are specifically mentioned in the Log Book for a particular reason. Mr William Bacon Mr William Bacon was Headmaster of Shipley Boys’ School from 14th June 1876 until his retirement on 14th December 1917. (41 years and 6 months). He was a prolific writer and gives insight into the social conditions of the day. He frequently acted as handyman when drains became blocked or when essential repairs were needed. He acted as nurse when children were injured or collapsed. He recorded the details of the curriculum so that we may understand today the wide ranging subjects the children of the time experienced. After his retirement the school became co-educational under the headship of Miss Annie Penn. William Bacon appears to have been a firm but kind disciplinarian with a keen understanding of the conditions of deprivation which some pupils endured. He fed one boy from his own table; he was anguished to know that some boys suffered blisters through wearing boots too tight for them, and he sympathised with the children of the “poor, illiterate, itinerant classes” whose schooling and life chances were severely curtailed by constant interruptions in education. -

Law and Gospel Order: Resolving Commercial Disputes in Colonial Philadelphia
Continuity and Change (2020), 35, 281–310 doi:10.1017/S0268416020000259 RESEARCH ARTICLE Law and Gospel Order: resolving commercial disputes in colonial Philadelphia Esther Sahle* University of Oldenburg *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract Trade in the early modern Atlantic grew a great deal. While acknowledging that this growth had important economic, social and cultural consequences, scholars have yet to fully explain its causes. This paper argues that formal religious institutions were key. Based on records from colonial Philadelphia, it shows how the Quaker meeting created a legal forum to resolve commercial disputes. The meeting enforced its verdicts by gather- ing and disseminating information about disputes locally and across the Atlantic world through the Society of Friends’ formal organisation of meetings. Thereby, it re-enforced reputation mechanisms, facilitating the expansion of Philadelphia’s trade. In pre-modern societies, long-distance trade constituted a key motor for economic growth. The expansion of trade in the British Atlantic facilitated social mobility and the emergence of the middling sorts as an economic and political force in England. Some prominent scholars have argued that it laid the foundations for the Industrial Revolution, making it the root of present-day global inequality.1 The factors deter- mining trade expansion, however, remain unclear. Economic historians researching trade have been strongly influenced by the New Institutional Economists (NIE).2 These argue that within Europe, the emergence of strong, centralised states who enforced property rights enabled trade. European states were however unable to extend their control to the American colonies. The growth of trade in the Atlantic despite weak state structures poses a puzzle yet to be solved. -
