Now published for the first Time. New-York: Printed for COLUMBIANA atthe UNIVERSITYPRESS, M.CM.XXXI. Edited and annotated by MILTON HALSEY THOMAS, B.Sc. Curator of Columbiana Reprinted from the COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY March, 1931, Vol. XXIII, No. i FOREWORD Columbia is most fortunate in having had preserved through a hundred and sixty years that extraordinary docu ment, "The Book of Misdemeanours in King's College, New York." Myles Cooper, coming to the College after seven years at Oxford, did much to fit it into the pattern of his alma mater, and as part of his system of rigid discipline he introduced the Black Book, which had been for centuries a tradition at Queen's College, Oxford. In its pages, as in no other record which has come down to us, we can be with the students of King's College day by day in the most inti mate manner. Aside from its interest as a human docu ment, the Black Book has great value as an unconsciously transmitted source-book with its off-hand mention of facts which historians will eagerly pounce upon. The original is a black leather volume measuring seven and three-fourths by six and one-fourth inches; it is a blank- book of about a hundred and fifty leaves, of which only the first thirty-one pages and the last page bear writing. -

REVEREND PROFESSOR CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE “NARRATIVE HISTORY” IS FABULATION, HISTORY IS CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Clement Clarke Moore HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1779 July 15, Thursday: Clement Clarke Moore was born in Manhattan, the only child of heiress Charity Clarke and Dr. Benjamin Moore, Episcopal Bishop of New York, Rector of Trinity Church, and President of Columbia College. HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1798 Clement Clarke Moore graduated 1st in his class from Columbia University. As a graduation speaker might have remarked, a great future lay ahead. “Hail, Columbia” was popular as a song — and not just among the members of the graduating class of Columbia University. HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1804 The Reverend Clement Clarke Moore attacked Thomas Jefferson anonymously in OBSERVATIONS UPON CERTAIN PASSAGES IN MR. JEFFERSON’S NOTES ON VIRGINIA, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A TENDENCY TO SUBVERT RELIGION AND ESTABLISH A FALSE PHILOSOPHY. He reported that he had been made suspicious, when this deep thinker started writing about mountains. It was clear that he was going to make an attempt to use the facts of geology to argue that the BIBLE contained incorrect information as to the age of the earth: “Whenever modern philosophers talk about mountains, something impious is likely to be near at hand.” READ JEFFERSON TEXT It was presumably necessary for the Reverend to issue this tract anonymously, since although he was accusing the President of racism for his remark that “among the blacks there is misery enough, God knows, but not poetry,” his own family, a family that was immensely wealthy, owned the black slaves Thomas, Charles, Ann, and Hester and was in no hurry to set them free. -

The Jays and Religion for Website
The Jays and Religion A Talk Given For the 200th Anniversary of the Construction of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Bedford, New York John Jay's religious background was entirely Protestant. Jay's ancestry was three-quarters Dutch, but the part that had the greatest impact on whom he became was French Huguenot. The bloody French religious wars of the sixteenth century had been brought to a tense close with Henri IV's issuance of the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which decreed toleration for France's Calvinist minority. Louis XIV's revocation of the Edict in 1685 resulted in a new wave of oppression of the Protestants, which included the Jays. John Jay's paternal grandfather, Augustus Jay, was born in La Rochelle, France, into a family of sea traders. John Jay used the word "opulent" to describe their level of prosperity. Pierre Jay, Augustus's father, was pressured to convert to Catholicism after the Edict was revoked. When he refused, military men were quartered in his house, to live with his family, creating an intolerable situation. Pierre sent his wife and most of his children to freedom in England, in violation of a law forbidding the Protestant laity to leave the country. After the government discovered what he had done, he was imprisoned and his house was confiscated by the French crown. Influential Catholic friends got him released, and he managed to flee from France and join his family in England. However, one of his children, Augustus, was away at sea at the time on family business, and was unaware of all of this. -

Alexander Hamilton's Wife
Kindling’s Muse at Earl Palmer Ministries, 9/18/17 Dick Staub and Earl Palmer at Walker Ames Lecture Hall at the University of Washington Alexander Hamilton: An American Patriot and a Christian. The book: Alexander Hamilton. A Biography by Ron Chernow. In this Kindling’s Muse we will explore the remarkable life story of Alexander Hamilton, his stature and importance as a founder of our American democracy, and the character markers in his life as a Christian Man. THE EARLY YEARS REVEAL A SUFFERING MOTHER RAISING TWO SONS Alexander Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis in the British West Indies in 1755. His brother, James, was 2 years older. Their mother was a very beautiful and Courageous woman, RaChel FauCette, of FrenCh Huguenot Protestant heritage. At the age of 16, she first married to a Danish farmer, Johann Lanvein, who was a brutal man who physiCally abused his young wife. He later acCused Rachel of adultery and beCause of Danish law, she was imprisoned for three months in the fortress prison at St. Croix. After her release, she fled from St. Croix in fear, leaving behind her one son Peter and her husband Lanvein. She and her mother, who helped her flee, settled first in St. Kitts and then Nevish where she met and informally married James Hamilton, a SCottish tradesman. James Hamilton abandoned his family, and was not heard from until his younger son beCame famous in AmeriCa. Hamilton later wrote of this “My father’s affairs at a very earl day went to wreCk...This state of things oCCasioned a separation between him and me, when I was very young”. -

A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti
A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti Edited by HERBERT LEVENTHAL and JAMES E. MOONEY PROGRAM FOR LOYALIST STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS Sponsored by tbe American Antiquarian Society City University of J^ew Tork University of London and University ofJVew Brunswick ROBERT A. EAST, Executive Director IN recent volumes of the Proceedings of the American Anti- quarian Society installments of material of the Program for Loyalist Studies and Publications have appeared. This pres- ent installment follows the Canadian Bibliography in Volume 82, the Loyalist Newspapers in Volume 83, and the Loyalist Imprints Printed in America in Volume 84. It is modeled upon the Canadian example except that in Canada the re- search for the finding guide was done admirably by one per- son working full-time for a period. In the United States the research for the finding guide was done by a number of schol- ars, most of whom hold doctorates in American Revolution- ary history, but they were working part-time. This difference has led to variety in the coverage given each state contained in this first part ofthe finding guide (covering the eastern states geographically from north to south, through Mary- 73 74 American Antiquarian Society land), but the editors, Herbert Leventhal and James E. Mooney, have imposed upon that difference the sameness of the format as much as it allows. At the start ofthe listing of sources in each state or district the name of the compiler is entered and the credit is not given again in that section. In the case of joint compilers the same obtains with no separate credit given. -
