C, Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection JD 137 J, PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. THE invitation to write this life was readily accepted, partly because I hoped it would in some degree reduce the color-prejudice, with other prejudices also, and partly because l have always felt an admiration for Mr. Douglass, which has increased as I have come to know him thoroughly. His con- «J* sent was cordially given in a letter, where he says: " If you can /\ say anything of me that the public does not already know, by "^ all means tell it. I am sure you cannot say anything of me iKyhich will not be pretty strongly colored, but go-ahead." ^f Shortly before departing to Hayti he was kind enough to an- •^ swer many questions which I put to him in his house, on Cedar Hill, and to relate anecdotes which will be new to my readers. He also lent me ten of his unpublished lectures, and . so many other manuscripts and rare pamphlets, that I have fp been able not only to mention but to quote more than a hun- dred works by an author not admitted to a place among the *T forty-six thousand writers of English enrolled by Allibone. 1 The list of published speeches, etc., in the Appendix has •y been made as complete as possible by inquiry in various direc- -~ tions. Much valuable information was obtained from Mr. ~ Frederick Douglass, Jr., whose scrap-books gave me abund- >£? ance of material about the later years of his father's life. By 3 far the most difficult part of my work has been that relating to \* the decade just before the war; and here I was greatly aided and encouraged by the letters of reminiscences contributed by Miss Sallie Holley. Mrs. Lucy N. Colman, and another lady who knew Mr. Douglass in Rochester. For these and other extraordinary opportunities I am very grateful. 1Q4506 Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection IV PREFACE. More generally known sources of information, like the files of the " Liberator/' have, of course, been examined thoroughly. Among the most valuable of books to me has been the " Life of Garrison," by his sons, who kindly supplied advance sheets and permitted me to make copious extracts. This favor I should have been glad to repay more fully, but unfortunately there were some serious differences of opinion between their hero and mine, under circumstances now but little known to readers generally. Here it becomes my plain duty to try and vindicate Douglass, even at the expense of a great philanthro- pist whom all delight to honor. Desire to do sufficient justice to important questions has suggested some comments on the Harper's Ferry tragedy, socialism, and the Southern problem ; but it did not seem necessary to do more than give the orator's views about prohibition, the tariff, and the merits of various candidates for President; and I hope I have not shown myself too party-colored. F. M. H. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. To this edition I have added an account of the last five years of the life of Mr. Douglass, and especially of his speeches at the World's Fair. I have also been able to show his posi- tion on the Hawaian question, to complete my list of his pub- lications, to correct several mistakes, for instance on pp. 45 and 229, and to give what may be a more accurate estimate than my previous one of his peculiar greatness.

" IT has been a source of great annoyance to me, never to have a birthday/' says Mr. Douglass, in a private letter. He supposes that he was born in February, 1817 ; but no one knows the day of his birth or his father's name. Such trifles were seldom recorded of slaves. His mother, Harriet Bailey, was one of the five daughters of Isaac and Betsy Bailey; and as slaves were not often permitted to own a sur- name, this must have been one of the old families of Maryland. Grandmother Betty was especially hon- ored for her skill in planting sweet potatoes, as well as in making and handling nets for taking shad and herring. When we find further that the village where she resided still bore the aboriginal name, Tuckahoe, we may believe that it was from her, that her grand- son derived those high cheek bones, and other Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection 8 FREDERICK DOUGLASS. peculiarities of physiognomy, which often caused him to be mistaken for an Indian in later life. His first master sometimes called him " My little Indian boy," and his whole history shows that he sprang from a race of warriors, who had rather die than be slaves. His oratorical power should be ascribed to his African descent, or to his European parentage. He himself attributes his love of letters to the native genius of his mother, who was the only colored per- son able to read in the whole village. This rare accomplishment suggests the probability that she had once been something more than a field hand. Her son saw her so seldom, however, and lost her so early, that he may have overestimated her ability, in consequence partly of gratitude and partly of a pop- ular theory, about the preponderating influence over great men of gifted mothers, which long investiga- tion justifies my calling extravagant. Inheritance of genius has come, in actual fact, at least as much from the father as from the mother ; and in the most illus- trious instances it has come from both sides. I sus-. pect that there is some foundation for the rumor, that the father in this case was a noted politician. White he undoubtedly was, for the son was of much lighter color than his mother, whose " deep black, glossy " features, are said by him to have resembled those of King Rameses the Great, on page 157 of " Prichard's Natural History of Man." She called him Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey ; but after his escape he took the name which he has made famous. She had an older son, Perry, and four daughters; but none of them, I think, was endowed with his peculiar genius. Perhaps there Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Monographs Collection THE SLAVS. $ was a different father. Her services were too valu- able for her to be permitted to waste her time on her children, and Douglass does not remember having ever seen her before he was six years old. His earliest memories are of his grandmother's log cabin in his native village, Tuckahoe, on the bank of the Choptank River, in Talbot County, on the eastern shore of Maryland. The floor and chimney were of clay, and there were no windows, nor any bedsteads, except rails flung over the cross-beams. Food was coarse, but it was abundant, and the little boy was never scolded for playing in the dirt, or getting his clothes wet, or not learning his lessons, or using his knife and fork awkwardly. In fact, he had no lessons, or knife and fork, and scarcely any clothing, to be troubled about. Year after year went by, during which he was as free and happy as the squirrels he saw running up the trees, or the minnows for which he used to fish in the mill-pond. His grandmother was always kind, and the only cloud upon his path was the fear of being taken from her, as his brother and his sisters had been. He dreaded to find himself growing taller, and at last the terrible day came. One summer morning, before he was seven, she took his hand in hers, and led him, or carried him on her shoulder, over the twelve miles which lay between Tuckahoe and the house of their master, Captain An- thony. This man owned three farms in Tuckahoe, and about thirty slaves ; but his time was mainly occupied in managing the estates of Colonel Lloyd, who had a thousand slaves and twenty or thirty different farms.

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard
    “Give Yourself No Trouble About Me”: The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard Edited by Paul Hubbard and Christine Lewis” Hoosiers were stout defenders of the Union in the Civil War, and one who came forward willingly to serve and die was George W. Lennard. When the Thirty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment was organized in September, 1861, Lennard joined its ranks as a private soldier but was immediately elected lieutenant and named as adjutant. His duty with the Thirty-sixth was short-lived, however, because within weeks he was made a captain and assigned as aide-de-camp to Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood, who in the Shiloh campaign com- manded the Sixth Division of Major General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio. Shortly before the battle of Murfreesboro, or Stone’s River, December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863, Lennard was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Fifty-seventh Indi- ana Volunteer Infantry, and at that battle he was wounded while fighting with his regiment. After convalescing in the spring of 1863, he rejoined his unit for the campaign against Chattanooga under Major General William S. Rosecrans. When the Federal forces occupied that city in September, 1863, Len- nard was detailed as provost marshal, and he had no part in the Battle of Chickamauga. The Fifty-seventh Indiana, how- ever, did participate in the storming of Missionary Ridge in November, and Lennard escaped unscathed in that dramatic assault. In the spring of 1864 fortune deserted him, and as the Army of the Cumberland marched toward Atlanta, he was wounded at Resaca, Georgia, on the afternoon of May 14 and died that evening.’ * Paul Hubbard is professor of history, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.

I’ve been lucky to work with wonderful supervisors in a wonderful department. Jorge Cañizares and Jim Sidbury have challenged and supported me since my first semester at the University of Texas. Their generosity, knowledge, and wisdom have made me a far better historian and, I’d bet, a better human being. I simply can’t thank them enough, and I hope they know how proud I am to be their student. Many thanks as well to the other members of my dissertation committee—Bruce Hunt, Robert Olwell, and Christopher Morris—for devoting their time and expertise to this project.

  • The Phantom on Film: Guest Editor’S Introduction
    The Phantom on Film: Guest Editor’s Introduction [accepted for publication in The Opera Quarterly, Oxford University Press] © Cormac Newark 2018 What has the Phantom got to do with opera? Music(al) theater sectarians of all denominations might dismiss the very question, but for the opera studies community, at least, it is possible to imagine interesting potential answers. Some are historical, some technical, and some to do with medium and genre. Others are economic, invoking different commercial models and even (in Europe at least) complex arguments surrounding public subsidy. Still others raise, in their turn, further questions about the historical and contemporary identities of theatrical institutions and the productions they mount, even the extent to which particular works and productions may become institutions themselves. All, I suggest, are in one way or another related to opera reception at a particular time in the late nineteenth century: of one work in particular, Gounod’s Faust, but even more to the development of a set of popular ideas about opera and opera-going. Gaston Leroux’s serialized novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, set in and around the Palais Garnier, apparently in 1881, certainly explores those ideas in a uniquely productive way.1 As many (but perhaps not all) readers will recall, it tells the story of the debut in a principal role of Christine Daaé, a young Swedish soprano who is promoted when the Spanish prima donna, Carlotta, is indisposed.2 In the course of a gala performance in honor of the outgoing Directors of the Opéra, she is a great success in extracts of works 1 The novel was serialized in Le Gaulois (23 September 1909–8 January 1910) and then published in volume-form: Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (Paris: Lafitte, 1910).
