Some features are lacking, and some which are included are not just as we expected them to be. Were we ever to have charge of another College publication, — a thing from which may all the fates preserve us! — we trust we should know how to manage affairs, — and some persons better. But peace. Muse! thy labor is over and done; it is now the part of the friends of Marietta College to purchase this book, which we trust they will find of interest and value to them. We desire to thank all who have helped in any way to make the book a success. Particular thanks are due to the Faculty Censor, for his tireless efforts in our behalf.

In truth, however, even as the college wasi the inheritor and conservator of two or more educa-< tional institutions, so the library inherited from these institutions a goodly beginning. In December 1834, before the charter creating Marietta College had been granted, the trustees gave to Prof. Henry Smith leave ot absence on salary, from the first of July 1835 to the first of November 1836 for the purpose of study in Europe. His departure was delayed until the summer of 1836 and meanwhile efforts were being made to secure funds for books and apparatus. Just at this time, and veryl opportunely as well as very unexpectedly, there came to the college the first large gift of money for books, $1000. The story of this gift is interesting from beginning to end, if we can be said to have reached the end. Samuel Stone, a hard working farmer of Townsend, Mass., having been, as the quaint phrase of time expresses it, "called sud-. denly to die," instead of making a will, left his property to the care of a few friends to be distributed in the manner which, in their judg­ ment, should best promote the "cause of religion." These friends must have been men farseeing and wise, for, believing that education and religion walk hand in hand, they gave $1000. to each of several colleges, directing that it must be spent for books. Marietta, then in her in­ fancy, was one of the recipients and the money was placed in the hand^ of Prof. Smith, then about to sail for Europe. According to the in­ structions given him he invested the sum in philological works. He, 18 NINETEEN AND NINE MARIETTANA himself, says of the purchase "These books were carefully selected, and purchased for the most part by personal attendance upon the great auction sales of Leipsic and Halle.

  • Historical Society Notes the Historical Tour in Marietta
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES THE HISTORICAL TOUR IN MARIETTA Theroads were good, the scenery magnificent, and the weather per- fect for the tenth annual tour of the Historical Society of Western Penn- sylvania and the University of Pittsburgh, in Marietta, Ohio, on Satur- day, July 21, 1951. Marietta, with itsmany points of historic and civicinterest, was the single objective of the pilgrimage, for no attempt was made, as on previ- ous tours, to travel as a motorcade or do any planned "site-seeing" along the way. However, the route recommended to motoring participants, and the one followed by the writerand his party, was south on Route 19 to "Little Washington"; southwest on U. S. 40, the old National Pike, to the outskirts of Wheeling; south to Moundsville (biggest Indian Mound in the U. S. A.");and thence down the south bank of the Ohio. From this point to Marietta the Ohio Valley is almost as lovely as it must have seemed to the forty-eight pioneers in the Rufus Putnam party that left Pittsburgh in the spring of 1788 to found Marietta, first Ameri- can settlement in the Northwest Territory. Gone —after Moundsville— are the mills and mines and railroad yards of the Wheeling and Pitts- burgh areas. Broad and deep and green, the beautiful Ohio sweeps be- tween its wooded hills, cutting through the ancient alluvial plain that lies first on the north bank, then on the south. Here and there, of course, are towns, with occasional light indus- trial plants. Yet everywhere on the shoulders of the river hills and on the level bottom-lands are fertile farms.

  • A HISTORY of BELPRE Washington County, Ohio
    A HISTORY OF BELPRE Washington County, Ohio -By- C. E. DICKINSON, D. D. Formerly Pastor of Congregational Church Author of the History of the First Congregational Church Marietta, Ohio PUBUIBHID FOR THB AUTHOR BY GLOBE PRINTING & BINDING COMPANY PARKRRSBURG. WEST VIRGINIA Copyrighted in 1920 by C. E. DICKINSON DEDICATED To the Belpre Historical Society with the hope that it will increase its efficiency and keep alive the interest of the people in the prosperity of their own community. FOREWORD The history of a township bears a similar relation to the history of a nation that the biography of an indi­ vidual bears to the record of human affairs. Occasionally an individual accomplishes a work which becomes an essential and abiding influence in the history of the world. Such persons however are rare, although a considerable number represent events which are important in the minds of relatives and friends. The story of only a few townships represents great historic events, but ac­ counts of the transactions in many localities are of im­ portance to the present and future residents of the place. Belpre township is only a small spot on the map of Ohio and a smaller speck on the map of the United* States. Neither is this locality celebrated for the transaction of many events of world-wide importance; at the same time the early history of Belpre exerted an influence on the well being of the State which makes an interesting stqpy for the descendants of the pioneers and other residents of the township. Within a very few months of the arrival of the first settlers at Mariettapfchey began to look for the most favorable places to locate jtheir homes.

A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Eьfьs Putnam, and His Pioneer Life in the Northwest
    1898.] Rufus Putnam.. 431 EÜFÜS PUTNAM, AND HIS PIONEER LIFE IN THE NORTHWEST. BY SIDNEY CRAWFORD. THE life of General Eufus Putnam is sb intimately con- nected with the history of the first century of our countiy that all the facts concerning it are of interest. It is a most commendable effort which has been put forth, therefore, during the more .recent years, to give his name the place it deserves among the founders of our republic. We boast, and rightly, of our national independence, and associate with it the names of Washington and Jefferson, which have become household words throughout the land ; but, when we come to look more closely into the problem of our national life from the beginning of it down to the present time, we find that one of the most essential factors in its solution was the work of Rufus Putnam. Although a man of humble birth, and never enjoying many of the advan- tages of most of those who were associated with him in the movements of his time, yet, in point of all the sturdj"^ qualities of patriotism, sound judgment and farsighted- ness, he was the peer of them all. To him, it may be safely said, without deti'acting from the fame of any one else, tlie countiy owes its present escape from the bondage of African slavery more than to any other man. Had it not been for his providential leadership, and all that it involved, as is so tersely -written on the tablet in the Putnam Memorial at Rutland, "The United States of America would now be a great siavehold- ing empire." He was the originator of the colony to make the first settlement in the, territory nortliAvest of the Ohio 432 .

Dampier was the first Englishman to explore parts of Australia and the first person to circumnavigate the world three times. He has also been described as Australia's first natural historian, as well as one of the most important British explorers of the period between Sir Walter Raleigh and James Cook. In 1679, Dampier joined buccaneer Captain Bartholomew Sharp on the Spanish Main of Central America, twice visiting the Bay of Campeche on the north coast of Mexico. This led to his first circumnavigation, during which he accompanied a raid across the Isthmus of Darién in Panama and captured Spanish ships on the Pacific coast of that isthmus. The pirates then raided Spanish settlements in Peru before returning to the Caribbean. Dampier made his way to Virginia, where in 1683 he was engaged by the privateer John Cooke. Cooke entered the Pacific via Cape Horn and spent a year raiding Spanish possessions in Peru, the Galápagos Islands and Mexico. This expedition collected buccaneers and ships as it went along, at one time having a fleet of ten vessels. Cooke died in Mexico and a new leader, Edward Davis, was elected captain by the crew.

  • The Meaning of Marietta1 "
    THE MEANING OF MARIETTA1 MERRILL R. PATTERSON members and guests of the Historical Society of DistinguishedWestern Pennsylvania and of the University of Pittsburgh: Ies- teem it a very real honor to be permitted to speak to you tonight. I have no claim to fame, since Iwas not born in Pennsylvania. But my wife was. You do notneed to be told that there are many intelligent and good-natured people in the Keystone State. Just recently a friend of mine and his wife were vacationing there and were going along the road at a rate of speed in excess of that allowed by law. Allat once, they heard a siren and were forced to the side of the road by a motorcycle"cop, who said courteously: 'Where do you think you're goin', to a fire:5 My friend said: "No indeed. My wife and Iare on our way to an antique shop." "Well," said the cop, "what's the big hurry?" My friend an- swered: "We are trying to get there before the antiques get any older." And believe itor not, the cop let them go. But Imust start my speech or all of us willbe much older. About a month ago Idrove to the near-by Wood County Airport, boarded a plane, and exactly four hours later, landed at Boston. The forty-eight Marietta pioneers who left their Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Con- necticut homes in ox-drawn Conestoga wagons from Ipswich, Massa- chusetts, took well over twomonths to cover the same distance. In short, Icould have flown close to five hundred journeys between Ipswich and Marietta within the timelimits of the original emigration.
