  • Notes on the Almanacs of Massachusetts
    1912.] Almmmcs of Massachusetts. 15 NOTES ON THE ALMANACS OF MASSACHUSETTS. BY CHARLES L. NICHOLS The origin of the almanac is wrapped in as much obscurity as that of the science of astronomy upon which its usefulness depends. It is possible, however, to trace some of the steps of its evolution and to note the uses to which it has been applied as that evolution has taken place. « When Fabius, the secretary of Appius Claudius, stole the fasti-sacri or Kalendares of the Roman priest- hood three hundred years before Christ, and exhibited the white tablets on the walls of the Forum, he not only struck a blow for reUgious freedom, but also gave to the people a long coveted source of information. Until that period no fast or holy-day had been pro- claimed except by the decision of the priests, since by their secret methods were made the calculations for those days. From that time the calendar of days has belonged to the people themselves, and has held an important position in the almanac of all nations. When Ptolemy in 150, A. D., prepared his catalogue of stars, and laid the foundation for more exact and con- tinuous records of their movements, the development of the Ephemeris, or daily note-book of the planets' places in our almanacs was assured. The meaning of the "man of signs," which is still so commonly seen, was minutely described by Manil- ius in his Astronomicon, written in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Origen and Jamblicus state that the principle underlying this belonged to a much earlier 16 American Aritiquarian Society.

  • Immigrant Printers and the Creation of Information Networks in Revolutionary America Joseph M. Adelman Program in Early American
    1 Immigrant Printers and the Creation of Information Networks in Revolutionary America Joseph M. Adelman Program in Early American Economy and Society The Library Company of Philadelphia A Paper Submitted to ―Ireland, America, and the Worlds of Mathew Carey‖ Co-Sponsored by: The McNeil Center for Early American Studies The Program in Early American Economy and Society The Library Company of Philadelphia, The University of Pennsylvania Libraries Philadelphia, PA October 27-29, 2011 *Please do not cite without permission of the author 2 This paper is a first attempt to describe the collective experience of those printers who immigrated to North America during the Revolutionary era, defined here as the period between 1756 and 1796. It suggests these printers integrated themselves into the colonial part of an imperial communications structure and then into a new national communications structure in order to achieve business success. Historians have amply demonstrated that the eighteenth century Atlantic economy relied heavily on the social and cultural capital that people amassed through their connections and networks.1 This reliance was even stronger in the printing trade because the trade depended on the circulation of news, information, and ideas to provide the raw material for its products. In order to be successful, one had to cultivate other printers, ship captains, leading commercial men, and far-flung correspondents as sources of news and literary production. Immigrants by and large started at a slight disadvantage to their native-born competitors because they for the most part lacked these connections in a North American context. On the other hand, some immigrant printers had an enormous advantage in the credit and networks they had developed in Europe, and which they parlayed into commercial and political success once they landed in North America.

The journey is the author's search for authentic curriculum -- teaching and learning built around socially relevant themes, designed through an organic development process, and negotiated in relation to the interests of individual learners and the communities that support them. In struggling to find a "lens" that would allow children to navigate change in an increasingly complicated society, the author shifted her focus from the substantive domain to the perceptual.

Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Science DOWELL, KATHY A. Ph.D. March 2005. Psychology The Effects of Parent Participation on Child Psychotherapy Outcome: A Meta-Analytic Review. (172 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Benjamin M. Ogles This study evaluated the effects of parent participation on child psychotherapy outcomes through meta-analytic review. A total of 42 studies (and two follow up studies) were included that offered a direct comparison of an individual child treatment group to either a combined parent-child/family therapy treatment, or a parent-only treatment groups. Results indicate that combined treatments were more effective than individual child treatments, with an average weighted effect size within the moderate range (d = .25). No differences were found between individual child and parent-only interventions. Moderator analysis for the comparison of child-only to combined treatments identified child treatment orientation as a marginally significant unique predictor. However, when all other potential moderators (presenting problem, treatment orientation, methodological quality, difference in number of therapy sessions, outcome measure, and child age) were entered into the regression analysis, methodological quality was identified as marginally significant.

  • Loyalist Newspapers of the American Revolution 1763-1783: a Bibliography
    Loyalist Newspapers of the American Revolution 1763-1783: A Bibliography TIMOTHY M. BARNES S BIBLIOGRAPHY is both an aid to scholars of the American Revolution and an indicator of the abundance of Loyalist liter- ature. I have designed the bibliography, particularly the in- ternal arrangement of the two major divisions, to facilitate research. The division of MAJOR and MINOR newspapers is based not only on the volume and quality of a paper's contri- bution to Loyalism, but also on the completeness of present archival holdings. I have arranged both basic parts by colony and city, and then by short and full title. Complete dates of the newspaper are indicated in the short title; the full title repre- sents title changes that occurred during the complete run. I have examined four features of MAJOR Loyalist news- papers: (l) names of printers, accompanied by the date they assumed and relinquished control of a paper; (2) a brief but complete biography of each printer; (s) a paper's contribution to Loyalism; and (4) the availability ofa microform copy and one original copy. The internal pattern of MINOR Loyalist news- papers is the same, except for the deletion of the printer's biography and the paper's contributions. The organization of this bibliography, especially the inter- nal arrangement ofa newspaper's contributions, should not be considered definitive, only suggestive. The utility of these newspapers in the study of Loyalism can be as diverse as the scholar's approach. 217 Major Loyalist Newspapers GEORGIA Savannah Royal Georgia Gazette, 1779-1782. (Weekly.)

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 54 October 2003 WESLEY IN AMERICA! The Wesley Historical Society Lecture for 2003 OHN Wesley was born three years before Benjamin Franklin and lived one year longer. He spent less than two years in the New World himself, and few people have ever considered his experience Jthere a rousing success by any measure. But the developments in America were never far from his mind throughout most of his adult life, which spanned most of the eighteenth century. He also played a vital role in the origins of Methodism in the United States. The American structures of Methodism, its' doctrines and discipline' were settled in the midst of the Revolution. Wesleyan ideas, nurtured in the British Isles and transplanted across the Atlantic, had to meet the challenges of American patriotism and democratic thinking. The gradual working out of those tensions during Wesley's lifetime gave the Methodist tradition in America a distinctive form that persists today. When Wesley first set foot in the New World in February 1735, he carefully recorded his initial reaction in the diary entry for the day 'Beware America - be not as England!'2 The precise nature of his concern is not evident in the cryptic context of the diary, but certainly Wesley had specific expectations for his ministry in Georgia. Wesley early acquired certain prejudices that shaped his attitude toward America before he ever experienced the New World for himself. His ministry in the Georgia colony during 1736-37 helped form additional, if limited, impressions of the American continent.

  • The Colonial Scene—1602-1800
    The Colonial Scene—1602-1800 PREFACE HE annotated list of books, broadsides, prints, and T maps presented in the following pages as The Colonial Scene had its origin in an exhibition of that name put on by the John Carter Brown Library in May, 1949. The revelatory character of that exhibition with regard to the daily life, occupation, and recreation of the resident of English North America suggested the desirability of a permanent printed record of the materials there displayed. It was realized at once that such a catalogue would better effect its purpose and prove of greater practical value if it were expanded by the addition of selected titles from the rich resources in this field of the American Antiquarian Society. In the revision consequent upon this reflection, the catalogue of an exhibition originally put on by a single library was changed in intention, if not in form, into a subject catalogue based upon selections from two libraries. The list which has resulted from these deliberations, how- ever, has not been conceived as an exhaustive or even an extensive bibliography of the subject. Nor has the purpose of the selection been to emphasize rarity, but rather to interpret the Colonial Scene through the medium of a group of representative books chosen with the single idea of their value in illustrating the varied interests of the place and period. In the process of compilation and revision it was realized that a small number of pieces familiar to the compilers, such, for example, as John Frederick Amelung's account of his glass manufactory and Jared Eliot's essay on making iron from black sea sand, were to be found in neither of the libraries principally concerned.
