Identifier/Call Number: M0206 Physical Description: 2 Linear Feet(4 boxes) Date (inclusive): 1722-1962 Scope and Contents Letters, notes, autographs, portraits, and other materials collected by the Harwood Family over a period of two hundred-fifty years. Much of the early materials, including Revolutionary War era materials, are navy and military service related. Later materials include letters from major political, financial, and literary figures. Correspondents include Herbert Hoover, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Ray Lyman Wilbur, Pearl S. Buck, and Carl Sandburg. Also included are engravings, photographs, and autographs of historical figures. Biographical / Historical Over his lifetime, Andrew Allen Harwood (1802-1884), great grandson of Benjamin Franklin, kept letters and notes of interest and autographs in a collection known as ODDS & ENDS. He willed it to his grandson, Thomas Triplett Hunter Harwood. In the year 1940 it passed into the hands of his nephew, A. A. Harwood's great grandson, Wilson Franklin Harwood (Stanford '35). A. A. Harwood's career in the Navy started with his appointment as Midshipman on the gun-brig Saranac in 1818. He retired with the rank of Rear Admiral in 1874. For this reason, much of the material he put into his odds and ends was related to the Navy. After 1940, W. F. Harwood added other items of interest that had come into the possession of various branches of the family over time. Much of the added documentation concerns George Spencer Wilson, maternal grandfather of W. F. Harwood. G. S. Wilson (1842-1897) from boyhood was in the military service. In 1861 he started as a corporal in the Indiana Volunteers; at the time of his death he was Major and Assistant Adjutant General, U.S. Army. Another source was the archives of Lee Lewis Harwood (Stanford '38). Her father, Winford Lee Lewis (1878-1943), a graduate of Stanford University and a chemist, had kept a few letters from Jordan, Hoover, Wilbur, and others. Many references will be found in the more recent papers to the parents of W. F. Harwood: Franklin Bache Harwood (1876-) and Margaret Spencer Wilson Harwood (1883-1964).

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.

You might consider taking your class on a field trip to the “Poe House”. For more information: http://www.eapoe.org/balt/poehse.htm Intro Poe’s House at 203 N. Amity Street. Click on any of the highlighted rooms of the house (shown at left) to bring up a floorplan of the room. Then click on highlights in the room views shown below to see details. You may also see a larger version of any image by clicking on it at right. The Garret The About the According to most authorities, Poe lived in the garret, or attic, of the Garret Garret house on Amity Street. We don’t have any direct evidence of what kind of furniture Poe had in his room. However, scholars of the Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore have recreated what the room probably looked like from records of other homes at the time. Though all the Poe house furniture has been long lost, the items in the room date to the 1830’s and are typical examples of what a poor family could have afforded. Roll over parts of the floor plan below to explore Poe’s bedroom at 3 Amity Street.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • And the Mechanic Arts: the Franklin Institute and Science in Industrial America, 1824-1976
    A. Michal McMahon THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE "BRIGHT SCIENCE" AND THE MECHANIC ARTS: THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE AND SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL AMERICA, 1824-1976 "Bright science too, beneath our sacred dome, Shall find a last retreat, a fav'rite home, And, freed from schoolmen's trammels, shall impart Her cheering influence to each useful art." Mathew Carey's American Museum, 17891 Philadelphia's technological and scientific community founded the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania during the 1820s in response to the emergence of industrialization and to the rise of experimental physical science. These momentous events re- leased energies carrying the organization through crucial phases in the development of the nation. Because the Institute's one-hundred- and-fifty-plus-years parallel the making of the industrial order in America, its work exposes the shifting contours of technological and scientific activity in the culture. In the nineteenth century, the Institute's scientific work reflected first the experimental tradition and then the rise of university-trained engineers and engineering knowledge refined by mathematics and industrial necessity. In our own century, the Franklin Institute has created both a basic science research institution in the tradition of England's Cavendish Labora- tory and an applied science research laboratory serving military, governmental, and industrial needs. The society began its work in 1824 with men like Samuel Vaughan Merrick, a manufacturer; William H. Keating, a professor of min- eralogical chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania; and Mathew 1.

  • Introduction
    Introduction ADDRESSING A WOULD-BE BIOGRAPHER near the dose of his incomparable career, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The letters of a person, ... form the only full and genuine journal of his life; and few can let them go out of their own hands while they live. A life written after these hoards become open to investigation must supercede any previous one." Like Jefferson, whose many-sided public life his own resembled significantly, Wil­ liam Cullen Bryant began in old age a narrative of his early years. But, unlike his great democratic precursor, whom he had lampooned in youth and grown in maturity to admire greatly, he refused to undertake an autobiography. When, nearing eighty, he was urged by William Dean Howells to compose an account of his life, he replied, "I have thought a good deal of the reminiscences which you ask me to dish up for the Atlantic [Monthly], and the more I have thought the less am I inclined to the task. I cannot set them down without running into egotism. I remember more of my own experiences than of my associations with other men and the part they took in what fell under my observation." In the absence of a skillful and uniquely informed biographer, the record of Bryant's versatile career has become "thin and shadowy," wrote Vernon Parrington, since his death nearly a century ago. The unusual length of his public life (just seventy years), his extraordinarily various professional and civic activities, and his in­ satiable habit of travel, both at home and abroad, pose a stiff challenge to the best of chroniclers.
