HARVARD C OLLEGE LIBRARY t ✓ -t-O t ^ —fro/I- .- f [•RES8F O CA8B, TIFrANY AND COMPANY, HARTFORD, CONN. PREFACE. The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL. D., President of the Connecticut Historical Society, who had rendered my uncle similar aid in his former publications, to see through the press ; but the pressure of his engagements obliged him, after the supervision of some fifty pages, to relinquish all further care of the work, beyond preparing a iv P REFACE.

Milkis, University of Virginia New Brunswick, NJ May, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Hidden Prince: Governors, Executive Power and the Rise of the Modern Presidency by SALADIN M. AMBAR Dissertation Director: Daniel J. Tichenor Before 1876, no American president had been elected directly from a statehouse. By 1932 five had, and a would-be sixth, Theodore Roosevelt, came to the office through a line of succession made possible by his successful tenure as Albany’s executive. While the modern presidency is increasingly recognized as owing its origins to the administrations of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, an essential common denominator of the two has largely been ignored. The examples of Roosevelt and Wilson –and their progeny –as state executives, have been disconnected from the larger story of how moderns reconceived the office of President. Moreover, the American governorship’s contributions as an institution that helped redefine newly emerging Progressive Era notions of executive power, has been understudied, and in the main, undervalued. When considering the presidency’s shift toward legislative and party leadership, and the changed communicative avenues traversed by modern presidents, it is of great value to first see these phenomena altered by executives at the state level.

  • 1 Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number
    Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number 157), having no known last resting-place, is commemorated on the bronze beneath the Caribou in the Newfoundland Memorial Park at Beaumont-Hamel. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a dry-goods clerk working for G. Knowling, Importers and General Merchants of Water Street and Duckworth Street, and earning a monthly fifty-eight dollars and thirty-four cents*, Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was a recruit of the First Draft. *In the 1911 Census for England he was documented as a Warehouseman working for a wholesale merchant in the city of Manchester. He presented himself at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland for a medical examination on August 31 of 1914. It was a procedure which would pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. When exactly it was that Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was to enlist is not clear as three different dates are to be found in his papers: August 26, August 31 and September 5, the day on which his brother, Leonard John…joined-up. However, whenever it may have been – the venue would have been the same CLB Armoury – he was engaged…but for only a year’s service*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which would then be added a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year.

    TO THE NADIR AND BACK: THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE ROYAL NAVY 1918-1939. Volume 1 of 2. Submitted by Michael Atholl FARQUHARSON-ROBERTS MA(Lond) MB BS FRCS (Eng) to the University of Exeter for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History October 2012. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signed: 1 This thesis is dedicated to Miss Macaulay, an inspirational teacher and head of history at Dorking County Grammar School. When I gave up the study of history to pursue a medical career, she told me that she ‘could have made a historian’ of me. I could not have completed this thesis without the help, direction and guidance of my supervisor, Dr Michael Duffy and my tutor Dr Maria Fusaro. Dr Duffy in particular has always had a very gentle, but firm hand on the tiller; he has been a truly outstanding pilot and helmsman. I am also extremely grateful for the assistance of Dr Trevor Preist, Dr Alan Wall and Dr Shaun Kilminster for specialist advice on physics, navigation and statistics respectively. I also thank for their unstinting support and assistance the various and many librarians I have consulted. In particular, Miss Jenny Wraight and the other staff of the Admiralty Historical Branch and Library, but also all the staff at the National Archive; between them they epitomise what public service should be.
