Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio for 1915

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN During the corporate year, closing this day, there has been a fair improvement in the general condition of the library accom- plished by the usual methods of classifying, cataloguing and such other work as required in libraries, and through additions to the collection by gifts, purchases, exchanges and the binding of pamphlets and periodicals. The volumes contributed number 153; those acquired by purchase, 57; by exchange and binding, 81. Together they amount to 289, which added to the total number of volumes reported last year—26212—makes the present total 26503. Pamphlets donated this year number 1271. The accessions secured by purchase are: 30 volumes and 2 pamphlets credited to the Margaret Rives King fund; 25 volumes to the Elizabeth Haven Appleton fund; 2 to the Society of Colonial Dames fund. Those obtained by exchange number 6; by binding, 67; and 8 small volumes, that had sufficient bindings, were withdrawn from the pamphlets and placed among the volumes. With the exception of 2, the pamphlets acquired this year were gifts to the library—a portion given in exchange for our Quarterlies. Besides the periodicals subscribed for annually, numerous odd numbers of similar publications, needed in our library to complete imperfect sets, are being added, thereby gradually perfecting the sets. 115 The titles of some of the late additions of volumes to the library are: Biographical History of Franklin County, Ohio; Fremont and '49, by Dellenbaugh; Thayer's Life of John Hay; Harper's Weekly, 1860-65 (Civil War Period); American Diplomacy, by Fish; History of Travel in America, by Dunbar; History of the National Capital, by W. B. Bryan; Life of Alexander Hamilton, by A. McL. Hamilton; Life of Henry Laurens, by Wallace; Lee the American, by Bradford; Winning of the West, by McElroy; Some of the First Settlers of the Forks of the Delaware, Kieff er; History of the Currency of the United States, by Hepburn; Filson Club Publication. No. 27; Schouler's United States, Vol. 7; Eighty-Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry; Early Chicago (Vol. 4 of Chicago Historical Society Col- lections) ; Winthrop's Canoe and Saddle with his western Letters and Journals; Johnston's Bull Run; Life of Millard Fillmore; Ellis's King Philips War; Writings of John Quincy Adams, ed. by W. C. Ford, Vol. 4; De Shields' Border Wars of Texas; Sectionalism in Virginia, by C. H. Ambler; Virginia under the Stuarts, by T. J. Wertenbaker; The American Flag; The 122nd Regt. of Ohio Vol. Infantry; Gurley's Mission to England; Clowes' Black America; Stewart's Liberia; Stockwell's Republic of Liberia; Alexander's History of Colonization on Western Coast of Africa; Slaughter's Virginian History of African Colonization; NOTE:—The last six volumes upon African Colonization were secured by exchange. 116 Several publications of a genealogical nature have been acquired : Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County and Church, by Brumbaugh; Bond's History of Watertown, Mass.; Genealogical Notes of Barnstable, Mass.; Town Records of Woodstock, Ct.; Records of Sharon, Ct.; Edwards Genealogy; Clarke Families of Rhode Island; Massachusetts Marriages, Vol. 3; Van Cullemborg Allied Ancestry; Woodward Family. A complete set of the "Mayflower Descendant" has been given to the Society by Mrs. Herbert Jenney, consisting of 16 volumes. These have been bound and we have subscribed for a continuance of this Quarterly. Another genealogical publication, "Lewisiana," has been almost perfected by additions of lacking numbers. Mr. Richard Ellison has contributed a copy of "Heads of Illus- trious Americans and Others, No. 1," published in 1783, which contains twelve engraved portraits of distinguished men. Mr. W. H. Williamson: Military Land Grant of land between Little Miami and Scioto rivers, 1804, to assignee of Callahan Minnis. Mr. G. S. Comstock: View of Arch on Main and Fourth Streets at the Grand Rally, Oct. 1, 1840. Mr. Joseph Wilby: Manuscript letter of Senator George H. Pendleton, Sept. 23, 1884; several photographs of old resi- dents of the city; and two French manuscripts. Mr. Jerome B. Howard: An interesting and lengthy sketch of John Champion Vaughan written at the time of his death in Cincinnati, 1892, by Samuel Bernstein. Indiana Society of the Sons of the Revolution: Full length photo- graph of General George Rogers Clark, 1752-1818. Mr. W. K. Bixby: Three volumes that are reprints from the original manuscripts in his private collection. The number of copies printed are limited to about 300 and are for private distribution. Fine portraits and illustrations are inserted. The titles are: 117 "Letters from George Washington to Tobias Lear, with an appendix containing miscellaneous Washington letters and documents "; "Letters of Zachary Taylor from the Battle-Fields of the Mexican War"; "Inventory of the Contents of Mount Vernon, 1810". Two manuscripts from his Jefferson collection—one of these is inserted here in full as it was drawn up by citizens of this city and is their testimonial to the integrity and good character of the Hon. John Smith, U. S. Senator from Ohio, 1803-1808, when his name was being associated with the Aaron Burr conspiracy. It reads: "Cincinnati January 14th 1807. A number of the Cit- izens of Cincinnati having met for the purpose of express- ing the general sentiments that prevail here at this time, David Zeigler was called to the chair, and Isaac G. Burnet appointed Secretary. Doctor John Sellman, Mr. Andrew Burt, & Doctor Edward H. Stall were chosen as a committee to prepare resolutions to be laid before a general meeting of the inhabitants at Griffin Yeatmens tomorrow evening at seven o'clock.—• Pursuant to a very general notice, a large number of the most respectable citizens of Cincinnati assembled at Mr. Yeatmans Hotel on the evening of the 15th instant, and the whole committee reported the following address and resolutions which were adopted without a dissenting voice. To Thomas Jefferson President of the United States. Sir, The citizens of Cincinnati impressed with esteem and veneration for you are encouraged by it to take the liberty of addressing you on a subject they have at heart. They are aware that not a little of your valuable time is wasted by trivial and officious representations; but being con- vinced that the true interests of your Country and the health of its members are the primary sources of your public actions, they trust that the present address and the resolutions accompanying it will not be deemed officious or unacceptable. Resolved. That this meeting feels the highest confidence in the principles and efficiency of a republican form of government as guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States. 118 Resolved. That we view the rising prosperity and hap- piness of the western country with pleasure and satisfac- tion and our connection with the Union as the surest palladium of our liberties and rights and we execrate as traitorous every attempt to sever or weaken it. Resolved. That we have the most entire confidence in the patriotism and political integrity of the Honorable John Smith and it is the opinion of this meeting that his character has been maliciously traduced by misrepre- sentations to the President of the United States, which have implicated him in the designs of Colonel Aaron Burr. Resolved. That in the opinion of this meeting the reso- lution of the Legislature of this State requesting the Honorable John Smith to resign his seat in the Senate of the United States has been procured by erroneous im- pressions, made on the minds of the individuals who com- pose that respectable body, by false and malicious sentiments. Resolved. That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Western Spy and a copy transmitted to the President of the United States, signed by the Chairman and Secretary. David Zeigler Chairman." "Isaac G. Burnet Secy. The endorsement "Zeigler, David, Resol'ns, Cincinti, Jan. 14, '07, reed Feb. 4" is in the handwriting of Jefferson. The other manuscript—gift of Mr. Bixby—is addressed to Ex- President Thomas Jefferson, dated Warren County near Leb- anon, Ohio, July 30th, 1824, signed by William Ludlow, Sec. for the Society. This document begins: "From the common stock society of the Ration Brethren and the Church of God in union." Six closely written pages are devoted to an account of the views of the society and aims for benefitting mankind by forming communities holding property in common. He states that they have purchased land on Coal Creek near the Wabash in Indiana, and are about to move there. The Articles of this Association are upon the County Records of Butler Co., Bk. F. pp. 41-45, and are followed by certified statements of property belonging to Wm. Ludlow, Israel Ludlow and James M. Dorsey, transferred to the Rational Brethren of Oxford, with certain restric- 119 tions. Copy of these entries of record are in the McBride Papers of the Manuscript Collection belonging to the Society. William Ludlow was elected to the Ohio Legislature from three different Counties, Hamilton, Butler and Franklin; he was one of the Commissioners appointed by the State to select and locate the college township and was president of the Board of Trustees of the Miami University. He may have removed from this State, but his brother, Israel Ludlow remained in this locality. The latter was an original proprietor of Cincinnati and one of the most important men of this section. James M. Dorsey was for awhile associated with the Miami University. We are indebted to the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker for six volumes, in attractive morocco bindings, of his political speeches, covering a period of about forty-five years, 1869-1913.

123 PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Quarterlies for the year 1915 have appeared as follows: Vol. X, No. 1, January-March, contains "Selections from the Follett Papers, III," consisting chiefly of letters from Joshua R. Giddings to Oran Follett, 1843-1847. They are from the manuscript collection belonging to the Society; of which two other selections have heretofore appeared in Vol. V., No. 2, and in Vol. IX, No. 3. These were edited by L. Belle Hamlin. Vol. X, Nos. 2 and 3, April-July, under one cover, Journal of Francis Collins, an artillery officer in the Mexican War, edited by his niece, Maria Clinton Collins, from the original manuscript in her possession. Vol. X, No. 4, will consist, as usual, of the Annual Report of the Society. We have lost by death during the past year one Corporate Member, Joseph Thomas Carew, December 11, 1914; and two Corresponding Members, Charles Francis Adams, March 20, 1915, and Albert Harrison Hoyt, June 10, 1915. In the cornerstone of the New County Court House now building there was deposited, at the request of the Commis- sioners, printed copies of the Constitution of our Society and of the number of the Quarterly containing our annual reports and lists of members for the year 1914. Mr. Albert H. Chatfield, after more than seventeen years of service, resigned as our Treasurer last July, and Mr. William Lytle Foster was elected in his place. Mr. Chatfield had abun- dantly earned the right to be relieved of the responsibility of this office, which he had filled so long, so faithfully and so efficiently.

JOSEPH WILBY, President December 6, 1915.
