  • Quaker ^Hcerchants And'theslave Trade in Colonial Pennsylvania
    Quaker ^hCerchants and'theSlave Trade in Colonial Pennsylvania JL MERICAN NEGRO slavery has been the object of frequent exam- /\ ination by scholars. Its growth and development, beginning X A^ with the introduction of the first Negroes into English North America and culminating in its abolition during the Civil War, have been traced in much detail. To be sure, scholars do not always agree in their descriptions and conclusions, but certainly the broad out- lines of Negro slavery as it existed in North America are well known.1 Slavery in colonial Pennsylvania has also had its investigators. These researchers have tended to place a great deal of emphasis upon Quaker influence in the Pennsylvania antislavery movement. Friends in general and Pennsylvania Quakers in particular are credited, and it would seem rightly so, with leading the eighteenth- century antislavery crusade. It was in the Quaker colony that the first abolition society in America was founded; the roll call of im- portant colonial abolitionist pamphleteers is studded with the names of Pennsylvania Friends—William Southeby, Ralph Sandiford, Benjamin Lay, and Anthony Benezet among them.2 The rudimentary state of our knowledge of the colonial slave trade, as distinct from the institution of slavery, becomes apparent when one examines the role of the Philadelphia Quaker merchants in the Pennsylvania Negro trade. Little recognition has been accorded the fact that some Quaker merchants did participate in the Negro traffic, even as late as the middle of the eighteenth century. Nor has 1 A recent study of slavery in America, which reviews the work that has been done on the problem and also introduces some valuable new insights, is Stanley Elkins, Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life (Chicago, 111., 1959).

    jfrien&0 in Current JJi The Quakers in the American Colonies (London: Macmillan, 8£ by , pp. 603, i2s.). In the third volume of the Rowntree series which is, however, the second in order of issue, Dr. Rufus M. Jones, assisted by Dr. Isaac Sharpless and Amelia Mott Gummere, has produced a valuable addition to Quaker historical literature. His subject is divided into five sections, dealing respectively with New England, New York, the Southern Colonies, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. With the persecutions under­ gone by Friends in New England, culminating in the execution at Boston of William Robinson, Marmaduke Stevenson, William Leddra, and Mary Dyer, readers of the THE JOURNAL will be familiar. Penn's " Holy Experi­ ment " again is more or less known to all. The extent to which Friends participated in the government of the five geographical areas mentioned above, with the exception of Pennsylvania and even there it is associated chiefly with William Penn is not a matter of such common knowledge. The impression left on the mind of the reader after perusal of the book is that " The Quakers as makers of America " is no mere phrase, but the embodiment of a great historical truth. Especially interesting is the story of Quaker government in Rhode Island, under the Eastons, Coddington, Clarke, Bull, the Wantons, Hopkins, and others, perpetually confronted as they were with the difficulty of steering a clear course between adhesion to their peace principles on the one hand, and their responsibility for the safety of the colony on the other. Here, as elsewhere, the dis­ charge of civil duties did not prevent participation in the work of the religious body to which they were so loyally attached.

  • We Find It Necessary to Call Attention to Some Inconsistencies and Offer Some Clarifications in Regard to This Year’S Annual Report
    We find it necessary to call attention to some inconsistencies and offer some clarifications in regard to this year’s Annual Report. In our eagerness to share with our members the many exciting changes we saw in 2014, we reported on several of them prematurely in our 2013 Report. Chief among these changes were the retirement of John C. Van Horne and the appointment of Richard S. Newman as Edwin Wolf 2nd Director, both of which occurred in 2014. Furthermore, transitions on and off our Board of Trustees that were described in the President’s Report for 2013 actually took place during 2014. However, the list of Trustees found at the beginning of the report is accurate as of the date stated on that list, December 31, 2013. Lastly, the President’s Report and Treasurer’s Report have traditionally come from the desks of the officers who held those posts during the reported year. While we intend for our Annual Report to be an accurate chronicle of the activities of the Library Company during the indicated year, it is in fact produced several months after the year’s end, when audited financial information becomes available. The President’s and Treasurer’s reports published in the 2013 Report were signed not by the officers in place in 2013, but rather by the current officers, who were elected to their posts in 2014. We should have clarified this discrepancy, and we regret the error.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

  • Untitled, Undated Fragment of Newspaper Article Describes the Cellars One Hundred Years Later
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE This report was commissioned by the Taft Museum of Art and Reed Hilderbrand Associates, Inc, Landscape Architecture, as part of the museum's expansion and renovation program. In early 2001, as it became clear that the Taft gardens would be thoroughly renovated and rebuilt, the need emerged for a documentary history that captured the design intentions, construction and evolution of several generations of landscape development. The following narrative records that history and anticipates a new chapter in the Taft's relationship to its site. The author gratefully acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Phillip Long, David Johnson, Lea Emery, Susan Hudson and Mark Allen of the Taft Museum of Art; the staff of the Cincinnati Historical Society, in particular Linda Bailey; the staff of the Cincinnati Public Library and that of the Lloyd Horticultural Library; Beth Sullebarger of the Cincinnati Preservation Society, and Nicholas Longworth's two great-great-great granddaughters, Mary Mitchell Cushing and Rosalie Mitchell Robertson. TAFf MUSEUM OF ART 2 A LANDSCAPE HIsTORY INTRODUCTION The Taft Museum of Art houses one of America's notable private collections of art, one that distinctly reflects Anna and Charles Taft's desire to leave an outstanding and permanent contribution to cultural life in Cincinnati, Ohio. No less important is the extraordinary inheritance embodied in the site and the impressive structure in which the collection is displayed, a building considered among America's finest early nineteenth­ century homes. This study documents and interprets the valuable inheritance conveyed through the history of the Taft site and its associated designed landscape at a moment when the museum itself is undergoing significant changes to revive and extend its legacy-changes that will make its collection and its site more manageable and more accessible to a wider audience.
