Vandalia: the First West Virginia?
Vandalia: The First West Virginia? By James Donald Anderson Volume 40, No. 4 (Summer 1979), pp. 375-92 In 1863, led by a group of staunch Unionists, the western counties of Virginia seceded from their mother commonwealth to form a new state. This was not the first attempt to separate the mountanious area from the piedmont and the tidewater country. Patriotism, however, played little part that time. Less than a century previous a group of entrepreneurs and land speculators from the eastern seaboard and England had endeavored to establish a new colony, Vandalia, in the frontier region south and east of the Ohio River. The boundaries of the proposed province closely match those of the present state of West Virginia. Their efforts ended in failure, but that was not for a lack of trying. Since the country was sparsely populated, the inspiration for separation had to come from elsewhere. Some of the leading merchants and politicians in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and England hoped to profit from their efforts. Printer and philosopher Benjamin Franklin, his son Sir William, governor of New Jersey, Superintendent of Indian Affairs in the Northern Department Sir William Johnson, his deputy George Croghan, merchants George Morgan and John Baynton, and lawyer and Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Joseph Galloway all interested themselves in the project. The leading lights of the movement, though, were members of a prominent and prosperous Quaker mercantile family, the Whartons of Philadelphia.1 The Wharton males, guided and inspired by patriarch Joseph, Senior (1707-76), had risen in two generations from relative poverty to riches in local trade, the export-import business, and sponsoring small industries.

THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office by Arne Englund
Arne Englund ~ HISTORY OF BATSTO PO THE HISTORY of the BATSTO Post Office By Arne Englund The cover shown in Figure 1 is the first reported example of the stampless-era Batsto, NJ CDS. At NOJEX in 2013 I asked one of the cover dealers if he had any New Jersey covers, and he replied that he only had a few, which he’d just acquired. This cover was on the top of the small stack, where it stayed for all of about two seconds(!). Fig. 1. Recently discovered Batsto CDS used in the stampless era, estimated usage between 1853 and 1855, on an envelope addressed to Mr. Sam’l W. Gaskill in Mays Landing. The red BATSTO JAN 10 N.J. CDS measures 30mm. The matching red PAID 3 handstamp measures 22mm. Closeups of each are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Fig. 2: Red CDS not listed in Coles or the Fig. 3: Red Paid marking Coles Update. The cover is not dated, but as the Batsto Post Office was opened June 28, 1852, and as mandatory prepayment of postage by U.S. postage stamps was enacted in March of 1855, the envelope would then date between 1853 and 1855.

Together, they are a representative sampling of the range of manuscript collections at HSP, but scholars are urged to pursue fruitful lines of inquiry to locate and use the scores of additional materials in each area that is surveyed here. There are numerous helpful unprinted guides at HSP that index or describe large collections. Some of these are listed below, especially when they point in numerous directions for research. In addition, the HSP has a printed Guide to the Manuscript Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP: Philadelphia, 1991), which includes an index of proper names; it is not especially helpful for searching specific topics, item names, of subject areas. In addition, entries in the Guide are frequently too brief to explain the richness of many collections. Finally, although the on-line guide to the manuscript collections is generally a reproduction of the Guide, it is at present being updated, corrected, and expanded. This survey does not contain a separate section on land acquisition, surveying, usage, conveyance, or disputes, but there is much information about these subjects in the individual collections reviewed below.

BRITISH Policies for the American West, Especially the Procla
The Impact of ^British Western Policy on the Coming of the c ^American RKevolution in Pennsylvania RITISH policies for the American West, especially the Procla- mation of 1763 and the Quebec Act of 1774, are usually B included among the causes of the American Revolution. The degree of alienation may be disputed, but most historians have accepted the proposition that Americans were almost ordained to resent any interference with western expansion. Thus, we are told that the Proclamation of 1763 "became a source of acute discon- tent"; that "countless Americans, especially land speculators, were dismayed and angered." Both individual settlers and land specu- lators "resented more or less keenly the restrictive policies of the home government," as they saw "the whole region on which men had fastened such high hopes . reserved to the despised Indians." It was "another example of the readiness of the British ministry to subordinate [American] interests to the interests of others." In short, one recent study concludes, "British western policy from the institution of the Proclamation of 1763 to the Quebec Act of 1774 was very unpopular."1 These generalizations, however, while they may apply to colonies such as Virginia, do not reflect the attitudes of Pennsylvanians. Though British western policies did affect the Pennsylvania frontier, and though Pennsylvanians did participate in Ohio Valley land 1 The author wishes to thank Richard A. Ryerson, Jack M.

Samuel Wetherill, Joseph Wharton, and the Founding of the ^American Zinc Industry
Samuel Wetherill, Joseph Wharton, and the Founding of the ^American Zinc Industry HE TWO people most closely associated with the founding of the zinc industry in the United States were the Philadel- Tphians Samuel Wetherill (i821-1890) and Joseph Wharton (1826-1909). From 1853 to about i860 they variously cooperated and competed with each other in setting up commercially successful plants for making zinc oxide and metallic zinc for the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Zinc Company at South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Both did their work in the face of an established and successful zinc industry in Europe. Accordingly, they looked to Europe for standards governing efficiency of production, quality of product, and the arts of management and marketing. They had to surpass at least some of these standards in order to establish the domestic industry on a firm basis. Zinc is a blue to grey metal found in deposits throughout the world. It is used for thousands of products, for example, in the fields of medicine, cosmetics, die casting alloys, galvanizing of iron, paint, rubber, ceramics, plastics, chemicals, and heavy metals. It ranks "only behind aluminum and copper in order of consumption among the nonferrous metals."1 In short, it has from an early stage in the Industrial Revolution been essential to the maintenance and progress of a technological society. The industry has two main branches. One is the manufacture of zinc oxide. The other is the making of metallic zinc or spelter, as it is called in the trade. These industries are relatively new in the western world. Portuguese and Dutch traders brought spelter to Europe from the Orient about the seventeenth century.

Malleability and Metallography of Nickel
T281 MALLEABILITY AND METALLOGRAPHY OF NICKEL By P. D. Merica and R. G. Waltenberg ABSTRACT In the manufacture of " malleable " products of nickel and certain nickel alloys, such as forgings, rolled shapes, and castings, rather unusual metallur- gical treatments of the molten metal are resorted to in order that the cast product may be sufficiently malleable and ductile for the subsequent forging operations. The principal feature of these treatments is the addition to the molten metal before casting of manganese and magnesium. Ordinary furnace nickel without these additions will give a casting, in general, which is not malleable either hot or cold. It is demonstrated that such " untreated " nickel, or nickel alloys, are brit- tle because of the presence of small amounts of sulphur—as little as 0.005 per cent. This sulphur is combined with the nickel as Ni3 S2 , which collects in the form of thin and brittle films around the grains of nickel. This sulphide also melts (as an eutectic with nickel) at a very low temperature, about G30° C. Hence, at all temperatures the cohesion between the nickel grains is either completely destroyed or at least impaired by the presence of these films of sulphide, and the metal is brittle. Both manganese and magnesium react with molten NuS- to form sulphides of manganese or of magnesium. The latter, in particular, has a very high melt- ing point and. in addition, assumes a form of distribution in the metal mass which affects the malleability but slightly, viz, that of small equiaxed particles uniformly distributed throughout the metal grains.

The Wharton-Fitler House
The Wharton-Fitler House A history of 407 Bank Avenue, Riverton, New Jersey Prepared by Roger T. Prichard for the Historical Society of Riverton, rev. November 30, 2019 © Historical Society of Riverton 407 Bank Avenue in 2019 photo by Roger Prichard This house is one of the ten riverbank villas which the founders of Riverton commissioned from architect Samuel Sloan, built during the spring and summer of 1851, the first year of Riverton’s existence. It looks quite different today than when built, due to an expansion in the 1880s. Two early owners, Rodman Wharton and Edwin Fitler, Jr., were from families of great influence in many parts of American life. Each had a relative who was a mayor of the City of Philadelphia. Page 1 of 76 The first owner of this villa was Philadelphian Rodman Wharton, the youngest of those town founders at age 31 and, tragically, the first to die. Rodman Wharton was the scion of several notable Philadelphia Quaker families with histories in America dating to the 1600s. Tragically, Rodman Wharton’s life here was brief. He died in this house at the age of 34 on July 20, 1854, a victim of the cholera epidemic which swept Philadelphia that summer. After his death, the house changed hands several times until it was purchased in 1882 by Edwin, Jr. and Nannie Fitler. Edwin was the son of Philadelphia’s popular mayor of the same name who managed the family’s successful rope and cordage works in Bridesburg. The Fitlers immediately enlarged and modernized the house, transforming its simpler 1851 Quaker appearance to a fashionable style today known as Queen Anne.
