Whitman (The Bowdoin Head- stone) Foreword and Acknowledgments JAMES Bowdoin's Tole in the American Revolution has never re- ceived frofer fubllc recognition. Bowdoln^s friendship with Frankliuy Washington, Revere and others fut him In the midst of the struggle for Inde'pendence-^ at the same time his social 'position and family ties gave him entree to British leaders and officials. In lyyoy his own brother-in-law was Colonial Secretary for the Gover- nor, yet Bowdoln wrote the tract on the Boston Massacre, which clearly blamed the British for the Incident and sent Boston down the road toward Revolution. This exhibition seeks not only to reveal Bowdoln^s Importance in the Revolution, but also his contributions In the field of finance, science, literature and the arts. He was as well educated as any American In the eighteenth century and subscribed to the principles of The Enlightenment, which encouraged investigation Into the nat- ural world and practice of the graces of life. To accomplish these goals, the IVLuseum commissioned the first major biography of Bowdoln in the form of a catalogue which will be published on July 4, ig'j6. We are most grateful to Professor Gordon E. Kershaw, author of The Kennebeck Proprietors, 1749- 1775, and specialist on James Bowdoln, for writing the catalogue. The Museum has also attempted to tell the Bowdoln story purely with objects of art. Like books, objects contain data and ideas. Their stories can be ^^read'*^ if only one examines the object and asks certain questions such as: what kind of society Is needed to produce such a work? What traditional or European motifs are used, which motifs are rejected and what new ones are Introduced? What was the use or function of the object? Beyond this, the exhibition Is intended to show that James Bowdoln expressed an Interest In art not only In commissions for painting and silver but also in the execution of a bank note or scientific instrument. Thus, the exhibition indicates Bowdoln exercised his love of art in everything that touched his life. We wish to thank all the lenders who permitted their precious possessions to be brought together and allowed these objects, scat- tered In many parts of America, to be reunited for the first time. vii Vlll FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The majority of the surviving Bowdoin objects have found their way to the College—the pictures and silver to the NLuseum^ hooks and letters to the Library y and scientific instruments to the Presi- dent's deposit objects Office. The first of y mostly scientific, came from James Bowdoin III at the opening of the school. In 1826, the por- traits were given by James's widow. i947y the In books y originally in the care of The American Academy of Arts and Sciencesy were placed on permanent loan at the College. The intervening years brought silver and paintings from the WinthropSy who carried on the Bowdoin liney Mrs. Westony Mrs. Hupper and Mr. Tevriz. Just two years agOy Mrs. Judson Falknor presented the College with twelve forks owned by James Bowdoin. The latter encouraged the idea for the present exhibition. We wish to thank President Roger Howelly Drusilla Fieldingy Arthur Monkey Richard Reed and Mary HugheSy our colleagues in whose care some of the objects are placedy for their great support and cooperation. Many objects still remain in Boston at the Massachusetts Histori- cal Society y the Boston Public Library y Harvard University y and in nearby Worcester at the Art Museum and the American Antiquarian Society.

    Winslows: Pilgrims, Patrons, and Portraits

    Copyright, The President and Trustees of Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine 1974 PILGRIMS, PATRONS AND PORTRAITS A joint exhibition at Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Organized by Bowdoin College Museum of Art Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/winslowspilgrimsOObowd Introduction Boston has patronized many painters. One of the earhest was Augustine Clemens, who began painting in Reading, England, in 1623. He came to Boston in 1638 and probably did the portrait of Dr. John Clarke, now at Harvard Medical School, about 1664.' His son, Samuel, was a member of the next generation of Boston painters which also included John Foster and Thomas Smith. Foster, a Harvard graduate and printer, may have painted the portraits of John Davenport, John Wheelwright and Increase Mather. Smith was commis- sioned to paint the President of Harvard in 1683.^ While this portrait has been lost, Smith's own self-portrait is still extant. When the eighteenth century opened, a substantial number of pictures were painted in Boston. The artists of this period practiced a more academic style and show foreign training but very few are recorded by name. Perhaps various English artists traveled here, painted for a time and returned without leaving a written record of their trips. These artists are known only by their pictures and their identity is defined by the names of the sitters. Two of the most notable in Boston are the Pierpont Limner and the Pollard Limner. These paint- ers worked at the same time the so-called Patroon painters of New York flourished.

    'Deprived of Their Liberty'

    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.
  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution

    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution

    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

Adelman National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow American Antiquarian Society Presented to the Joint Seminar of the McNeil Center for Early American Studies And the Program in Early American Economy and Society, LCP Library Company of Philadelphia, 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia 24 February 2012 3-5 p.m. *** DRAFT: Please do not cite, quote, or distribute without permission of the author. *** 2 The eight years of the Revolutionary War were difficult for the printing trade. After over a decade of growth and increasing entanglement among printers as their networks evolved from commercial lifelines to the pathways of political protest, the fissures of the war dispersed printers geographically and cut them off from their peers. Maintaining commercial success became increasingly complicated as demand for printed matter dropped, except for government printing, and supply shortages crippled communications networks and hampered printers’ ability to produce and distribute anything that came off their presses. Yet even in their diminished state, printers and their networks remained central not only to keeping open lines of communication among governments, armies, and civilians, but also in shaping public opinion about the central ideological issues of the war, the outcomes of battles, and the meaning of events affecting the war in North America and throughout the Atlantic world. What happened to printers and their networks is of vital importance for understanding the Revolution. The texts that historians rely on, from Common Sense and The Crisis to rural newspapers, almanacs, and even diaries and correspondence, were shaped by the commercial and political forces that printers navigated as they produced printed matter that defined the scope of debate and the nature of the discussion about the war.
