  • 174 Reviews of Books and Prison Reforms, Missionary and Colonization Agitations, and the Maine-Missouri Controversy
    174 Reviews of Books and prison reforms, missionary and colonization agitations, and the Maine-Missouri controversy. In some instances Mr. McMaster lias been able to make his topic clearer by a new setting. He has taken a natural interest in demonstrat­ ing the causes of New York's commercial success over its rivals on the Delaware and Chesapeake. It is clear that the supremacy of the northern city was won soon after the close of the war, and was not due to the com­ pletion of the Erie Canal. It was the reward of the spirit that afterwards made the canal. In 1818, already had the more sluggish mercantile community of Philadelphia lost the prize that might have fallen to it. Western traders were obliged to pay in advance the freight dues from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. New York dealers collected freight dues when the goods were delivered, and charged one dollar and a half less per hun­ dredweight than their Quaker brethren. Philadelphia merchants would not guarantee against damage to goods on the way. New York shippers took the risk of damages incurred before the delivery of the goods. Some of the most interesting pages in the book are those that deal with the origins and expansion of public charitable and missionary organi­ zations. Reports of the pioneer home missionaries of the West and South are used in an interesting way. Incidentally the wonderful pros­ perity of the Methodist Church in this country is luminously explained. "Wherever they went they found great tracts of country inhabited by from twenty to fifty thousand people, in which there was not a preacher of any sect.

He is the author of several books, including Hamilton’s Blessing: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Our National Debt, The Great Game: The Emergence of Wall Street as a World Power, and An Empire of Wealth: The Epic History of American Economic Power. The following is adapted from a lecture delivered on February 27, 2012, aboard the Crystal Symphony during a Hillsdale College cruise from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires. America is still a young country. Only 405 years separate us from our ultimate origins at Jamestown, Virginia, while France and Britain are 1,000 years old, China 3,000, and Egypt 5,000. But what a 400 years it has been in the economic history of humankind! When the Susan Constant, Discovery, and Godspeed dropped anchor in the James River in the spring of 1607, most human beings made their livings in agriculture and with the power of their own muscles. Life expectancy at birth was perhaps 30 years. Epidemics routinely swept through cities, carrying off old and young alike by the thousands.

His influence reached its height with his relentless caricatures of Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall Ring in New York City. In 1871, the Nation, edited by E.L. Godkin, proclaimed: “Mr. Nast has carried political illustrations during the last six months to a pitch of excellence never before attained in this country, and has secured for them an influence on opinion such as they never came near having in any country.”1 Nast contributed to American political and cultural iconography in many ways.

These waterways determined the routes of commerce until the locomotive engine made land routes the more popular, as they were the more expeditious. Reaching in all direc­ tions, spanning waterways, tunneling moun­ tains, and defying obstacles generally, they naturally took command of trade.

News editor Tomáš Kolařík reports. n May 20th the last missing navi- gation lock on the Vltava waterway was Ofinished in the village of Hněvkovice. The lock was built to remarkably generous dimensions for a recreational waterway; it could accommodate barges of up to 45 x 6 m. This is a measure of how Czech waterway authorities and engineers are keeping all bets open for possible future commercial naviga- tion. High-capacity passenger vessels and large motor yachts can now ply the river from Orlík View of the crowd attending the inauguration and a dam upstream to České Budějovice, a distance throughout the Vltava from the Elbe via Prague. small passenger boat in the lock. © ŘVCČR of 95 km.

    ““GGrraavvee MMaatttteerrss”” Historic Oakwood Cemetery Preservation Association Fall, 2015 Volume 23, Number 2 President’s Message … … Connie Palumb As we approach the holiday season, I want to update you on HOCPA's busy fall schedule. For a small organization, we certainly have been very active. In September we honored our own Letty Murray in a special way. Sue Greenhagen led another large group on the last cemetery tour of the summer season. All of the 2015 tours have been great fun and well attended, as usual. Sue will continue to be giving private tours by request as well as her "virtual" tour presentations which have become very popular. Tom Viau and Co. completed their repairs of the porte cochere support structure at Silsbee Chapel. October brought a cadre of SUNY-ESF students to volunteer for a day of community service. It's always a joy to host these young, optimistic and diligent volunteers. I'd like to thank each of you personally for your continued support which enables HOCPA to accomplish the important work of restoration to various historic structures throughout Oakwood Cemetery. Letty Murray's Garden Party On September 16th we celebrated our long time HOCPA Board member, Letty Murray. She was a founding member of our group who truly was a guiding light in our organization. Under her leadership, Oakwood Cemetery became a Smithsonian Registered Landmark. Letty was always actively seeking new fund raising ideas so we could continue to forge ahead with our mission. Fortuitously, the day was bright and sunny as we gathered with Letty and her family at Silsbee Chapel.
