    ’ Series editor: John C. Seitz, Associate Professor, Theology Department, Fordham University; Associate Director for Lincoln Center, Curran Center for American Catholic Studies This series aims to contribute to the growing eld of Catholic studies through the publication of books devoted to the historical and cultural study of Catholic practice in North America, from the colonial period to the present. As the term “practice” suggests, the series springs from a pressing need in the study of American Catholicism for empirical investigations and creative explorations and analyses of the contours of Catholic experience. In seeking to provide more comprehensive maps of Catholic practice, this series is committed to publishing works from diverse American locales, including urban, suburban, and rural settings; ethnic, postethnic, and transnational contexts; private and public sites; and seats of power as well as the margins.

Historians have explored various parts of this movement in a discrete fashion, but never has anyone attempted to examine the history of the effort to create a Union Party across the decade of the 1850s. What I find is that all incarnations of the Union Party stressed a common devotion to the rule of law, which they saw as under threat by sectional agitators who stirred up the passions of the public. Whether in debates over the right of the federal government to coerce a state, the legality of the Fugitive Slave Act, and presence of filibustering oversees, or the violence which attended partisan elections, Americans’ respect for the rule of law seemed at issue throughout that turbulent decade.

"Hereditary rank," says Washington Irving, "maybe an illusion; but hereditary virtue gives a patent of innate nobleness beyond all the blazonry of the Herald's College." We can trace the ancestors of Millard Fillmore back for six generations ; and, as children of the soil, pioneers of toil, and defenders of their country, they present one lineal characteristic—sterUng, patriotic tiktdk.

  • Elias Lanning As Leader; It Was at First Under the Charge of the Jack Sonville Church ; but Later Under the Church at Enfield Center
    TOWN OF LANSING. 355 vices were held at the house of Jonathan Rolfe and later at the Wood ward school house in the south part of the town. In 1842 a house of worship was built at Enfield Center at a cost of about $1,300. The present pastor is Rev. T. F. Brodwick. In 1821 five persons instituted the Christian church, of which Elder Ezra Chase was the first pastor; he was succeeded by Rev. J. M. West- cott. The church was built at Enfield Center many years ago. H. L. Griffin is the present pastor. The Methodist church af Kennedy's Corners was the development of a class which was formed at the North school house in 1844, with Elias Lanning as leader; it was at first under the charge of the Jack sonville church ; but later under the church at Enfield Center. The church edifice was built in 1848. The Methodist church of Enfield was recognized as a separate charge January 19, 1835. Rev. Joseph Pearsall was the first pastor. Prior to had' that date class meetings been held in a barn at Bostwick's Corners, and in other barns near by. On the 3d of June, 1835, a lot was bought of Andrew Bostwick for $50 and a church erected upon it. On the 13th of March, 1876, it was determined to remove the building to Enfield Center, which was done and the building was repaired at a cost, includ ing the new site, of $3,200, and on June 20, 1876, the church was ded icated.

Her parents had emigrated to Nova Scotia from Scotland, where her father, Robert, had been manager of an electric light company. In Halifax, Robert became foreman, and then manager of the Halifax Gas Light Company. Agnes attended Dalhousie University and graduated with a BA in 1891, First Class Honors in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics with the Sir William Young Gold Medal. She earned an MA in 1892. That year she enrolled as a graduate student at Cornell and was the Erastus Brooks Fellow in mathematics for the academic year 1894/95. She received her Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1895 with the dissertation On Abelian integrals, a resume of Neumann’s ‘Abelsche Integrele’ with comments and applications. One of the first Canadian women to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics, she was a student of James Oliver who died the year of her Ph.D. graduation. Baxter edited his mathematical notes for publication (although we do not know of any actual publication of these notes).
