A History of the Philomathean Society i i "f . A HISTORY OF THE Philomathean Society (FOUNDED 1813) WITH A SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF ALL HER MEMBERS FROM 181 3 TO 1892. Philadelphia. AviL Printing Company. 1892. c.-t'l^..'' Infpoburfopg- It might be well to say, in the beginning of this little book, that the committee in charge of its publication has labored under more than ordi- nary difficulties. The work was originally planned out by the Class of '89, and was intended to be entirely the task of that body. It failed of completion, however, and for several years the whole work has lain dormant, while committee after committee has been appointed, only to be discharged without the publication of the much-heard-of Record. At one time some promise of real work was hoped for when the committee for 1891 was appointed. They labored for some days on the manuscript, until finally the work had to be thrown over on account of the pressure of college work. The present committee, realizing, at last, the burden that this unfinished work was upon Philo, and the obligation the Society was under to complete the publication, have made strenuous efl!brts towards this end, and are glad now to be able to report the completion of the Phi- lomathean Record. The work has been enormous, and would have been impossible without the distinguished aid of several of Philo's loyal gradu- ate members. We are especially indebted to Dr. Frazer, whose kindly assistance and co-operation, in every manner possible, have done much in putting us in a position to complete our difficult task. Our whole aim has been to put in the hands of her graduate sons some reliable record of their Mother Society from her founding to the present date, and we wish for no greater reward than the hearty approval of our older Philoma- thean brethren. f Justin R, Sypher, ^ G.

T^HAT trite saying, " History repeats itself," is perhaps nowhere so clearly illustrated as in a college literary society. These three or four years represent a generation, and consequently the repetition is more clearly seen, and more clearly impresses itself on the mind. The history, as writ- ten on the minutes of the Society, at first sight appears to be very monoto- nous. The same debates, to a large degree the same motions, the same laudable desire for constitutional reform, the same fines imposed for the same offences, are found in rapid succession. The history, therefore, of the three years of any class in Philo would, to a great degree, answer for the history of the seventy-five years of her existence. Such a history is writ- ten in the heart of every true Philomathean, and forms one of the most pleasant memories of his life, to which he turns from time to time with added enjoyment, as the years of actual life separate him more and more frofli those days. To him no history written save by his own hand would seem to be true, and any attempt to write would be to tear away with ruth- less hands those adornments which truth has lent to memory's picture. Writing, therefore, for the sons of dear old Philo, we need only call atten- tion to those points in her history which may be entirely new, or perhaps long since forgotten. Of the early history of Philo very little is known. The earliest min- utes have been lost or destroyed, and even the histories which were written, while the minutes Avere still in existence, have shared a similar fate.

The representatives held a different opinion of the conflict, believing that the proprietors were the ones scheming, in order to “erect their desired Superstructure of despotic Power, and reduce to

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.

  • Quaker ^Hcerchants And'theslave Trade in Colonial Pennsylvania
    Quaker ^hCerchants and'theSlave Trade in Colonial Pennsylvania JL MERICAN NEGRO slavery has been the object of frequent exam- /\ ination by scholars. Its growth and development, beginning X A^ with the introduction of the first Negroes into English North America and culminating in its abolition during the Civil War, have been traced in much detail. To be sure, scholars do not always agree in their descriptions and conclusions, but certainly the broad out- lines of Negro slavery as it existed in North America are well known.1 Slavery in colonial Pennsylvania has also had its investigators. These researchers have tended to place a great deal of emphasis upon Quaker influence in the Pennsylvania antislavery movement. Friends in general and Pennsylvania Quakers in particular are credited, and it would seem rightly so, with leading the eighteenth- century antislavery crusade. It was in the Quaker colony that the first abolition society in America was founded; the roll call of im- portant colonial abolitionist pamphleteers is studded with the names of Pennsylvania Friends—William Southeby, Ralph Sandiford, Benjamin Lay, and Anthony Benezet among them.2 The rudimentary state of our knowledge of the colonial slave trade, as distinct from the institution of slavery, becomes apparent when one examines the role of the Philadelphia Quaker merchants in the Pennsylvania Negro trade. Little recognition has been accorded the fact that some Quaker merchants did participate in the Negro traffic, even as late as the middle of the eighteenth century. Nor has 1 A recent study of slavery in America, which reviews the work that has been done on the problem and also introduces some valuable new insights, is Stanley Elkins, Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life (Chicago, 111., 1959).

  • Philadelphia and the Southern Elite: Class, Kinship, and Culture in Antebellum America
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Dr. Benjamin Rush's Journal of a Trip to Carlisle in 1784 YOU know I love to be in the way of adding to my stock of ideas upon all subjects," Benjamin Rush observed to his wife in a letter of 1787. An insatiable gatherer and recorder of facts and observations, Rush kept journals throughout his life—some continuously over many years, like his Commonplace Books recently edited by Dr. George W. Corner as part of Rush's Autobiography; others for brief periods or for special purposes, like his "Quack Recipe Book" in the Library Company of Philadelphia, his Scottish journal in the Indiana University Library, and the present little diary of a journey from Philadelphia to Carlisle and return in April, 1784. This diary consists of twenty-three duodecimo pages stitched at one edge, and is written entirely in Rush's hand. Owned by a suc- cession of Rush's descendants, it at length came to light in the sale of the Alexander Biddle Papers at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York in 1943. (It will be found listed in the Biddle Sale Cata- logue, Part I, lot 219.) It was then purchased by the late Josiah C. Trent, M.D., of Durham, North Carolina, who, when he learned that the present writer was investigating Rush's part in the founding of Dickinson College at Carlisle, very kindly furnished a photostatic 443 444 L. H. BUTTERFIELD October copy of the 1784 journal, together with permission to use it in what- ever way seemed best.
