"Mr. Sherman was a Life Member since 1888, and Patron of the Society. He served as Treasurer 1901 to 1908, in which office he devoted an unfailing interest in the advancement and welfare of the Institution. "Resolved, That The New-York Historical Society records with sorrow this tribute to a member and officer, who gave efficient ser­ vices in advancing the interests of the Society; "Resolved, That the foregoing Minute and Resolution be en­ tered in the Minutes and a certified copy be transmitted to the family of Mr. Sherman." Mr. William L. Calver delivered an illustrated lecture entitled "Thirty-three Years of Historical Excavation Work in and About the City of New York and Elsewhere." Upon its conclusion Dr. William S. Thomas addressed the Society upon the labors of Mr. Calver and his colleague, Mr. Reginald Pelham Bolton, in their his­ torical excavation work upon the upper end of Manhattan Island, which has contributed so much to our local history and knowledge of the Revolutionary camp sites of the British and Hessian regiments and their accoutrement. In recognition of these historic researches Messrs. William L. Calver and Reginald Pelham Bolton were consti­ tuted life members of the Society. Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer submitted the following Minute, which was adopted by a rising vote: "Henry Egleton Montgomery Suckley, the son of Robert Bowne Suckley and brother of Robert Bowne Suckley, Jr., both members of this Society, descended from Robert Livingston, first Lord of the Manor of Livingston, was killed in France, April, 1917.

"These two sons of New York, descended from ancestors who fought in the Revolution, have given their lives for the cause of hu­ manity.

Mr. Frederic Delano Weekes moved that a Special Committee of Five be appointed to revise the By-Laws of the Society, which was adopted. Capt. Richard Henry Greene offered the following resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That when the Society adjourns it will adjourn to meet on Tuesday evening, November 13th next, subject to a call by the Executive Committee for a special meeting." 34 THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE ABBOTT COLLECTION WELL recall the first time I heard the Abbott Collection men­ I tioned. It was in my student days in Berlin, when the eminent Egyptologist, Professor Adolf Erman, referred to it as one of the richest collections in the United States, and assumed that, of course, I was familiar with it! It had, indeed, in those days more fame abroad than in this country, a fame which was traditional, being based on the reports of the European scholars of Dr. Abbott's time and on the early, now inadequate, publication of a few of his treasures. To-day the collection occupies an unique position. Falling, as it did, into the care of a Society whose investigations and main inter­ ests were in another field than that of Egyptology, it has not been added to, except by gift, and represents the classes of Egyptian mate­ rial known in the middle of the last century. The entire Predynastic Period (before 3400 B. C.) and Early Dynastic Period (3400- 2980 B. C.) are unrepresented in it, so far as I have noted, a strik­ ing reminder to the student, of how recent is our knowledge of the origin and early stages of Egyptian art. The distinction of the col­ lection lies in the large proportion of rare and beautiful objects, and in the amount of inscribed material, included in its 3,000 numbers— to give a rough estimate'of its size. It is especially rich in papyri and there is no knowing what precious literary fragments, what lore of Egyptian medicine or mathematics, what new religious texts may be found among its unread documents. I have experienced, I am sure, all the joys of an explorer in a new land, in the six weeks thus far spent in cataloging the objects, and my preconceived impressions of the interest of the collection have been more than realized. Those who are unfamiliar with Egyptian antiquities can have no idea of the amount of human interest to be found in them. Owing to the dry climate of Egypt all manner of household objects have been preserved, which are almost wholly lacking from the more re­ cent civilizations of Greece and Rome. Perhaps 80 per cent, of the larger objects bear inscriptions, which invariably give the name and titles, and often the family tree, of the individuals who once owned them. In Egypt one finds the beginnings of the arts and crafts; QUARTERLY BULLETIN 35 W J Br^jjB l; ;'VV; Wm ^^afl iBsi V3H i^ ^H^Hiil^ Ipllll J^BIgujlRJS H^^vT^i^ Wd ^gv#|i 1 HS I, ' .,' ' .,5' . USHEBTI OF THK ROYAL SCRIBE, SENU, GRINDING CORN, CA. 1400 B. C. Limestone—One of five or six'figures of this type in existence. 36 THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY among the Society's objects are some of the oldest vessels of glass in existence; they were formed over a core, and the decoration was pro­ duced by canes of glass of contrasting colors, fused into the body of the vessel and dragged by a sharp point, while still soft, into waves, zigzags, and other patterns; this technic continued from about 1500 B. C. until into the Ptolemaic Period, when the art of blowing glass was discovered, also, probably, in Egypt. In so large a collection as this, the objects elucidate one another; in the statue No. 175 the seat represented is of the same pattern as an actual stool of wood also in the Abbott Collection. The different types of perukes and gar­ ments may be followed in the collection chronologically, represented both in the round on statues and in relief sculpture. Thus I purpose making the new catalogue more or less a handbook of Egyptian life and art from the first period of high development in the Old King­ dom (2980-2475 B.

  • Alexander Johnston: an Appreciation
    ALEXANDER JOHNSTON: AN APPRECIATION BY RICHARD P. MCCORMICK Dr. McCormick is Professor Emeritus of History and University Historian at Rutgers University CENTURY ago few American historians enjoyed a larger reputation than Alexander Johnston of the Rutgers College Aclass of 1870. As the Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Economy at the College of New Jersey (Princeton University) and as the author of several highly praised books and innumerable articles, he had, within the span of a decade, achieved more than most scholars could expect to accomplish over a full lifetime. In 1889, at the age of forty, he was dead. Although his writings continued to go through successive reprintings long after his un- timely death, he is now an all but forgotten figure. But his brief career was so remarkable that it merits recounting here. Little information is available on Johnston's early years.1 He was born in Brooklyn, New York, on April 29, 1849, the son of Samuel G. Johnson and his wife, Matilda McAlan. His father served in the army during the Civil War and later moved to Illinois, leaving young Alexander and his mother in the care of an uncle, John McAloney, in Brooklyn. Johnston attended the Brooklyn Poly- technic Institute, where he was an outstanding student, and entered Rutgers College in 1866.2 He arrived as the College was embarking on a period marked 1 There is a brief biography in the Dictionary of American Biography by James A. Woodburn who, after Johnston's death, revised and kept in print some of his works. J. Hampden Daugherty, a New York lawyer and reformer, published an extended memorial address, but it is quite unreliable in many particulars and should be consulted with caution.
