  • Mr. Tuck's File of Letters from Jennifer M
    Mr. Tuck’s File of Letters from Jennifer M. Allocca’s research; additional notes by Dan Rothman The “Bulletin of the Essex Institute” (Volume XX. 1888. Salem, Mass. Printed 1889.) describes a September 1887 presentation to the Institute by Mr. J. D. Tuck, which provides additional information about the New Boston counterfeiters. https://books.google.com/books?id=BKQUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28 Joseph Dane Tuck (1817-1900) was a tailor who was born in Beverly, MA and died in that town. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_Institute tells us that the Essex Institute (1848–1992) in Salem, Massachusetts, was “a literary, historical and scientific society.” It maintained a museum, library, historic houses; arranged educational programs; and issued numerous scholarly publications. In 1992 the institute merged with the Peabody Museum of Salem to form the Peabody Essex Museum. The correspondence in Mr. Tuck’s file gives us an interesting picture of how Boston-area bankers struggled with the expensive problem of counterfeit bills. Representatives of the banks whose notes had been counterfeited met to discuss what should be done. They feared that Mr. Peasley (or Peaslee) who had engraved the plates would flee when he learned of the arrest of the New Boston counterfeiters. The bankers knew that Stephen Burroughs, the most famous counterfeiter of his day, was busy producing paper currency in Stanstead, Quebec (in the Eastern Townships of Lower Canada), just a few miles north of the Vermont border. How could they apprehend him and place him “in the way to the Gallows”? They worried that at least one of the bailiffs they might send to Stanstead to collect evidence and arrest the counterfeiters was himself a member of the gang.

  • New Light on the First Bank of the United States 1 the First
    NEW LIGHT ON THE FIRST BANK OF THE UNITED STATES1 HE FIRST Bank of the United States, although semi-public in Tcharacter, has always remained an obscure element in our early national history. Established by Congress in 1791 on the recommendation of Alexander Hamilton, the Bank constituted an integral and essential part of the system proposed by that brilliant statesman of industrial capitalism for the revival and support of public credit and for the promotion of business enterprise.2 For twenty years, until its non-recharter and dissolution in 1811, it functioned and flourished, not merely as "an indispensable engine in the admin- istration of the finances," as Hamilton pronounced it, but also as the mainspring and regulator of the whole American business world. It was likewise an important political issue between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans on several occasions. Yet little is known of its inner history. Historians and economists alike have regretted the scantiness of data relating to its operations. With the exception of a few reports on Treasury deposits, the general public and even the Federal legislature had no knowledge of its condition until just prior to the expiration of the charter when Secre- tary Gallatin submitted several statements to Congress. No suspen- sion of specie payments, no really catastrophic financial panic, no fail- ure to pay dividends occurred to cause a demand for throwing the spotlight of "pitiless publicity" upon the institution. The career of the second Bank of the United States was a sharp contrast in this re- spect.3 But despite its shroud of secrecy, the first Bank seems to have had nothing to conceal.

Mr. Ellison divides his history of British gliding into four segments: 1849-1908; 1908-1920; 1920-1929; and 1929-present (1970) British Gliding History The history of motorless flight in Britain can be divided into four periods. The first period up to 1908 started way back in 1849 when Sir George Cayley persuaded a boy to fly in one of his small gliders. Later, in 1853, Sir George's coachman was launched across a small valley at Brompton, near Scarborough. This experiment terminated abruptly when the craft reached the other side of the valley, and the frightened coachman stepped from the wreckage and addressed his employer with the now famous words "Sir George, I wish to hand in my notice". Cayley’s Glider Sir George Cayley Further would-be aviators carried out many other Percy Pilcher experiments over the years that followed, including Percy Pilcher's many glides at various places up and down the country until his death in 1899. The first period came to an end when S.
