Biographical / Historical Samuel Austin Allibone (1816-1889) was an American lexicographer, librarian and compiler. He produced a critical dictionary documenting the lives of approximately 46,000 writers, composed religious tracts, and compiled indexes of quotations. Allibone worked as a librarian at the Lenox Library in New York from its endowment until 1888. Scope and Contents The collection contains correspondence and five manuscript notebooks. The vast majority of the correspondence was not penned by Allibone, and a good portion of it was neither authored by him nor addressed to him. Three of the five manuscript notebooks are by Edward Everett, one was written by Baron Thomas Babington Macauley and one was composed by Allibone and his wife, Mary. Everett's manuscripts include a biography of Baron George Gordon Byron (AL 394) and of Sir Walter Scott (AL 395) as well as a copy of his speech "In Defense of the Webster Statue" (AL 398). Macauley's manuscript is a version of his unpublished History of England, and Allibone's manuscript contains, among other items, A visit to Washington Irving, as well as an autograph copy of his letter to Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

  • Tree of Liberty,1800—18031
    JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY AND THE TREE OF LIBERTY, 1800—1803 1 EDWARD EVERETT in 1800 had all the vigor of a youngster Pittsburghgrowing up. There was a rangy awkwardness in the way the houses sprawled themselves indiscriminately over the land from the Point. Grant's Hill,Water Street, and Lib- erty Street bounded most of the dwellings. Off toward the Allegheny were the remnants of the King's ArtilleryGardens — stilla sanctuary for pear and apple trees of a bygone century, but now the setting for the well-furnished log house of the affluent James O'Hara, neophyte industrialist. The log houses of the early pioneer settlements were beginning to give way to fr&me and brick houses that marked permanent communi- ties. Wood and Market Streets were paved and several others were graveled, but even so, dust and mud were not of the past. Lombardy poplars, locusts, and weeping willows re- lieved the ugliness of the colorless and sometimes soot- blackened houses. 2 Pittsburgh after 1794 was in a period of transition. No better can this be exemplified than in the politics of this time. Before the Whiskey Insurrection, politics in Pittsburgh had been dominated by the "rich, the well-born, and the good," among whom those of the Neville connection played a leading role. It was a monopolistic and aristocratic set-up that irked the democratic elements in the region. But by 1800 there had appeared one man who was equal to the Federalist machinations of the Nevilles and their ilk. 1This article is but one of the products of research conducted— by Mr.

    Northwestern Charles Deering McCormick University Library Library of Special Collections Evanston, Illinois 60208-2300 U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents Correspondence and Documents W. Clement Stone donated this collection of correspondence, documents and autographs to the McCormick Library in 1996. Materials have been arranged chronologically according to presidential administrations, with President and Vice President of each term appearing together. Correspondence or documents of Vice Presidents who later served as President appear in separate folders. However, materials were not necessarily generated during an executive's term of office. Following the sequence of correspondence for U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents through the term of the Nixon/Agnew administration is a second correspondence series consisting of presidents pro-tempore of the U.S. Senate and presidents of particular administrations which held a prominent place in the history of the United States. These include Elias Boudinot, president of the Continental Congress, Sam Houston, president of Texas, and Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America. This second series is also in chronological order according to term of office. Included with many of the letters, documents or autograph signatures are short biographical sketches, transcriptions of holograph items, and reproductions of photographs or engravings. The McCormick Library also has correspondence of some of these prominent statesmen in other collections. If additional holdings exist, a citation note has been added to this guide.
