Life of Sir William E. Logan %:% : LIFE SIR WILLIAM E. LOGAN, It., LL.D., F.E.S., F.G-.S., &c. first director of the geological survey of canada. Chiefly Compiled feom his Letters, Journals and Reports. BERNARD J. HARRINGTON, B.A., Ph.D., PROFESSOR 01' MINING IN M'GILL UNIVERSITY ; LATE CHEMIST AND MINERALOGIST TO THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OP CANADA. WITH. STEEL PORTRAIT AND NUMEROUS WOODCUTS. EonBon SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON, SEARLE, & RIVINGTON, CROWN BUILDINGS, 188 FLEET STREET. 1883 6 PREFACE. rPHE task of preparing a biography of Sir William Logan was not a self-imposed one, and was only undertaken with feelings of great delicacy. There are those who knew him longer and more intimately, and who might have done far better justice to his memory. But the work having been entrusted to me, I have endeavoured to discharge it faithfully. My aim has not been to write a eulogium or yet a lengthy criti- cism of Sir William, but rather to bring together such of his own words as will recall him to the minds and hearts of old friends, or enable those who were not privileged with his acquaintance to form for them- selves an estimate of his character and work. Canadians cannot afford to forget the name of oije who laboured so long and so earnestly to promote the interests of this his native land, and if the following pages in any way serve to keep green the memory of Sir William Logan, their compiler will feel more than repaid. We have plenty of Canadians able and willing vi. PREFACE. to work for themselves, but too few who, like Logan, are willing to work for Canada. My grateful acknowledgments are due to Professor Geikie, now Director-General of the British Geological Survey, for information incorporated in the text ; to Alexander Murray, Esq., C.M.G., Director of the Geo- logical Survey of Newfoundland, for reminiscences of Sir William ; to Dr. John Percy, F.R.S., of London, for his estimate of Sir "William's work ; to Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys, F.R.S., for the reminiscences given on page 388 ; and to Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, who has kindly given me the benefit of his advice on a number of points about which I was in doubt. I would also express my indebtedness to Dr. Dawson, for notes on the ori- gin of coal, for the use of a number of wood-cuts, and for his article on the Quebec Group. The latter was kindly prepared by him to serve for my assistance and guidance ; but I was unwilling to mutilate it, and with his permission have given it in full as an Appen- dix (A). My sincere thanks are due to Dr. Selwyn, Sir "William's successor, for the use of note-books and of a number of wood-cuts ; to Mr. G. R. Grant, one of Sir William's executors, for his unvarying courtesy and kindness in placing at my disposal letters, jour- nals, etc. ; and, among others, to my friend Professor C. E. Moyse, of McGill College, for advice and assistance in revising the proof sheets of the earlier chapters PREFACE. vii. The information concerning the origin of the Geolo- gical Survey of Canada is chiefly derived from Scobie's' Almanac. Most of the illustrations scattered through the volume are copies of pen-and-ink sketches with which the pages of Sir William's note-books and jour- nals abound. They have been reproduced on wood by Mr. W. H. "Walker, of Montreal. The steel portrait forming the frontispiece is from a photograph by Notman, taken in 1869. It represents Sir William in his graver moments, and fails to give an idea of the humour and brightness which so often pervaded his countenance. CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.

From a Photograph by Henderson, . to face 380 CHAPTEE I. BIRTH AND BOYHOOD. TN the County and Parish of Stirling, not far from the -*- old Castle of that name, there lived, more than a century ago, one James Logan. He was married to Miss Margaret Edmond of the same neighbourhood, and between 1*756 and 17*72 she bore him six sons and three daughters. But death made sad inroads upon his household, taking one after another of his little ones from him, until but two sons and two daughters remained. William, the elder of the surviving sons, was born in the Parish of Stirling on the twenty-fourth of September, 1759, while Hart, the youngest of the family, was born on the twelfth of January, 1772. According to the records of the Parish of Stirling, the father was a burgess, and followed the calling of "baxter," or baker. But, like many other Scotchmen, he thought to better his fortunes in the New "World, and, taking his wife and two sons with him, sailed for America, probably about 1784. He found his way to Montreal, established a large bakery there, and, with wise forethought, purchased considerable property in — 2 PARENTAGE AND BIRTH. [1794-98. the vicinity of the city. In the last decade of the century we find him comfortably settled on his farm, his elder son managing the bakery, while the younger was carrying on a prosperous importing trade.* In the spring of 1*794, Miss Janet E. Edmond, of " Conniehill," near Stirling, niece of Mrs. James Logan, left her Scottish home, and more than one admiring suitor, for Canada. Hither she came to be married to her cousin, Mr. "William Logan. Years before they had been more than friends in the old country, and now were to be more than lovers in the new. Husband and wife, father and mother, the time-honoured sequence was theirs, and, as years rolled on, they became the parents of nine children, five sons and four daughters. The third child, the subject of the present memoir, was born at Montreal on the 20th. of April, 1*798, duly "inoculated for small-pox," and christened as William Edmond Logan on the 16th. of the following month, in the quaint little Presbyterian church which still stands on St. G-abriel Street. The father seems to have fully appreciated the value * It has been frequently stated that Sir William Logan's grandfather was one of the Loyalists who, at the time of the American Eevolution, retained their allegiance to the British Crown, and that he then removed from the neighbourhood of Schenectady, New York, to Montreal. Of this, however, we have not been able to find any good evidence. Sir William's grandfather and father were both born in Scotland, and we know that the family still resided there in 1772, and also that they were living in Montreal in 1785. Shortly after returning to Scotland in 1815, Sir William's father wrote to Mr.

  • The Art of Stone Masonry in the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to Present)
    The Art of Stone Masonry In the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to present) Steven Connett Archaeology 377 5/25/83 Dr. McDaniel The art of stone masonry in the Shenandoah valley seems to be somewhat of a mystery prior to the nineteenth century. However, as some of us have learned from the anthropology 101 course: The absence of artifacts (documents in this case) is just as important as the presence of artifacts. In order to make sure that the lack of information was not due to my possible incompetence in research, I spoke with a current day stone masoner named Alvis Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds relayed t o me that when he was trying to learn the skills of stone masonry he, too, had great difficulty in obtaining information and thus decided to teach himself this art through the process of trial and error. Although this information did not directly aid me in my research, Mr. Reynolds did provide me with a bit of information that allowed me to derive a hypothesis on why there is this unusual lack of information in this line of study. I will state my hypothesis in this paper, however, I will not be able to prove it or disprove it due to the deficiency in available information. Mr. Reynolds explained to me that in the eighteenth century there were nomadic stone masoners. These nomadic workers went from valley to valley in search of people who needed help with building their houses. Since these people did not know how to cut stone themselves (after all, stone cutting is not the type of thing that is innate to most people) they had no choice but to p~y these men for their services or go unsheltered.

    National ACS Leaders from the Northeastern Section Reprinted from the June 1973 NUCLEUS, by Edward R. Atkinson, the more recent period covered by the editor Our account is limited to those chemists and chemical engineers who, as members of the Section, filled important ACS offices at the national level. If time and space permitted we would enjoy telling about the contributions of many other members who have served on the many committees of the ACS Council or who have performed many special tasks for the Society. In considering section members who have been elected presidents of the ACS we want to cheat a little and start with Thomas Sterry Hunt who served the infant Society for two separate terms (1879 and 1888) in the days before there was a Northeastern Section. Hunt was born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1826, was a student of the elder Silliman at Yale, and was a chemist and mineralogist with the Geological Survey of Canada until 1872. During that time he was a founder of Laval University and taught chemistry there and at McGill University. He succeeded William Barton Rogers (the founder of M.I.T.) as professor of geology at the Institute and later resigned the position to enter consulting work. He was not only president of the ACS but also of the AAAS (1871) and was a Fellow of the Royal Society. Organic chemists remember Hunt as the first American chemist to define their science as the chemistry of compounds of carbon, and as the originator of a Type Theory (1854) that in some respects anticipated that of Williamson and Gerhardt.
