  • JAMES LOGAN the Political Career of a Colonial Scholar
    JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

  • Regeneration NI Creating 21St Century Town and City Centres
    Regeneration NI Creating 21st Century Town and City Centres NEW THINKING FRESH LEADERSHIP AMBITIOUS INITIATIVES 1 The wholesale change needed to revitalise our town centres and give them a fighting chance of survival will only come, however, when there is an acceptance that the old order of things is crumbling before our eyes. We still rely on old models that are not fit for the 21st century and this is holding back change.” Grimsey Review, 2018 2 3 INTRODUCTION For nearly twenty years, Retail NI and its membership have been champions for our town centres and high streets, bringing forward new ideas and policy solutions to decision-makers at all levels of government. Our members are entrepreneurs who provide an important service to their local communities and believe in real and genuine partnerships with their local Councils. They champion strong, vibrant and diverse town centres, which are in themselves, centres of both retail and hospitality excellence. We have already successfully lobbied for the introduction of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme, the Town Centre First Planning Policy, legislation for Business Improvement schemes, five hours for £1 off-street car parking discount and much more. The theme of this report is regeneration and how to create 21st century town and city centres. With the Local Government Elections in 2019, we believe it is time to update our policy priorities and introduce some new ideas. I look forward to engaging with members, stakeholders and political representatives across Northern Ireland in the months ahead, asking for their support to initiate the process of regenerating our high streets, regenerating our workforce, regenerating our infrastructure and regenerating our political structures.

Articles Camp Followers, Nurses, Soldiers, and Spies: Women and the Modern Memory of the Revolutionary War By Heather K. Garrett Abstract: When asked of their memory of the American Revolution, most would reference George Washington or Paul Revere, but probably not Molly Pitcher, Lydia Darragh, or Deborah Sampson. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate not only the lack of inclusivity of women in the memory of the Revolutionary War, but also why the women that did achieve recognition surpassed the rest. Women contributed to the war effort in multiple ways, including serving as cooks, laundresses, nurses, spies, and even as soldiers on the battlefields. Unfortunately, due to the large number of female participants, it would be impossible to include the narratives of all of the women involved in the war.

They are a focal point for our culture, communities and everyday economies. They support the most sustainable models of living and working, including active travel and shorter commutes. And they are where new ideas, new ways of living, new businesses and new experiences are made. Our high streets and town centres face many challenges, but our research shows how much Londoners value them as places to meet, socialise, access services, shop, work and live.
