RECENT PUBLICATIONS John Wilhelm Rowntree 1868-1905 and the beginnings of modern Quakerism. By Stephen Allott. Sessions Book Trust, York, 1994. Pp. xiv + 138. £7.00. Stephen Allott's concise and appealing account of John Wilhelm Rowntree makes very considerable use of quotations. It is well-illustrated. Rowntree was one of the most influential Friends of his day and made a great contribution to the Society despite his involvement in business, his chronic ill-health and his sadly early death at the age of 36. Allott provides a valuable addition to the studies of British Quakerism in the crucial period around the beginning of this century. It is timely background to the consideration of the impact of the Manchester conference of 1895. Rowntree will now be known to Friends not so much as a pioneer in writing Quaker history as for being part of it. He had hoped to make a major new historical study and gathered a collection of Quaker literature in preparation for this, later to pass to the Woodbrooke Library. His lectures on the rise of Quakerism in Yorkshire in his Essays and Addresses form his main published historical contribution. They went beyond narrative to exhortation and explained his vision for the Society of Friends. History for him was not a matter of satisfying academic curiosity but of tracing the evolution of contemporary Quakerism and explaining the relevance of the past to the questions of the day. The Rowntree series of Quaker histories built on his vision, effectively as his memorial. His deep friendship with Rufus Jones led to Jones's major contribution to the series alongside W.C. -

Spinster Ecology
SPINSTER ECOLOGY: RETHINKING RELATION IN THE AMERICAN LITERARY ENVIRONMENT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Elizabeth Ensor August 2012 © 2012 Sarah Elizabeth Ensor Sarah Elizabeth Ensor, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Spinster Ecology develops a practice of queer ecocriticism by articulating intersections between nineteenth-century American literature and twentieth-century environmental thought. Focusing on texts by Sarah Orne Jewett, Henry David Thoreau, and Rachel Carson in which attention to the natural world is interwoven with a particularly reticent form of social interaction, the dissertation argues for the relational capacity of interpersonal and environmental forces typically understood to preclude connection: distance and remoteness, absence and silence, backwardness and death. Rethinking these categories as relational helps both to identify and to remedy a theoretical impasse that currently divides queer theory from ecocriticism: namely, the fields’ conflicting stances toward (reproductive) futurity and toward the status of desire, pleasure, and limitation. Early attempts at queering ecocriticism have tended to emphasize non- normative uses of natural spaces or to trouble the conceptions of nature and “the natural” that undergird mainstream environmentalism. My project, by contrast, locates queer theory’s contribution to ecocriticism in questions of temporality, sociality, and tone. More specifically, I identify the spinster as a model for paradigms of relation, transmission, and inheritance that are indirect or askance. Taking heed of spinsterliness not only as a characterological or biographical phenomenon but also in its formal and stylistic instantiations, I argue, can help queer ecocriticism better engage literature. -
1851 Newspaper Reports
COMPILATION OF CANAL TRADE ARTICLES FROM THE ALLEGANIAN a Cumberland newspaper and THE SUN a Baltimore newspaper and GEORGETOWN ADVOCATE DAILY AMERICAN TELEGRAPH two Washington, D. C. newspaper and ALEAXNDRIA GAZETTE an Alexandria, Va. newspaper 1851 Compiled and Edited by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer [email protected] REVISION 1 - MARCH 2018 REVISION 2 – MAY 2020 REVISION 3 – MAY 2021 Canal Trade - 1851 A. PREFACE In this compilation, articles were transcribed from The Alleganian, a Cumberland newspaper, The Sun, a Baltimore newspaper (identified by Sun appearing before the article), Georgetown Advocate (identified by GA appearing before the article) and Daily American Telegraph (identified by DAT appearing before the article) two Washington, D. C. newspapers, and Alexandria Gazette (identified by AG appearing before the article) an Alexandria, Va. newspaper, unless otherwise footnoted. The articles were compiled, chronologically in a two-column format, just as they appeared in the newspapers. Note that no boats loaded on Sunday; if it was just that the newspaper did not publish on Sunday, then the Monday edition would have listed the Sunday traffic. It does not. Some dates during the boating season were missing. The Alleganian newspaper was found on microfilm at the library at Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD. The Sun, the Georgetown Advocate the Daily American Telegraph and the Alexandria Gazette newspapers were found on-line. The research continues because the reader may yet find a missing date or a canal related article from another newspaper. There is a lot of duplication in information due to the different newspapers publishing similar articles about, for example Canal Trade, wherein the reporters for the newspapers had different deadlines for reporting the data and thus the lists have different boats, distances, and/or cargo. -
Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999
Spirit Wrestling Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 By Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © by Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff, 2011 Spirit Wrestling: Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto, 2011 ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, Canada sought “desirable” immigrants to “settle” the Northwest. At the same time, nearly eight thousand members of the Dukhobori (commonly transliterated as “Doukhobors” and translated as “Spirit Wrestlers”) sought refuge from escalating religious persecution perpetrated by Russian church and state authorities. Initially, the Doukhobors’ immigration to Canada in 1899 seemed to satisfy the needs of host and newcomer alike. Both parties soon realized, however, that the Doukhobors’ transition would prove more difficult than anticipated. The Doukhobors’ collective memory of persecution negatively influenced their perception of state interventions in their private affairs. In addition, their expectation that they would be able to preserve their ethno-religious identity on their own terms clashed with Canadian expectations that they would soon integrate into the Canadian mainstream. This study focuses on the historical evolution of the “Doukhobor problem” in Russia and in Canada. It argues that -
Friends and War 1899-1945
FRIENDS AND WAR 1899-1945 I cannot begin this address without telling you how proud I am of the honour you have done me in making me your President for this year. When I think of the names of previous Presidents of our Society 1 feel very humble. One of my predecessors was Robert H. Marsh (1856-1942), teacher, accountant and financier whom I shall mention again later.' Speaking nearly a century ago Marsh uttered words which some of his successors might wish to reiterate: 'It is hard that an unfortunate president who has really nothing to say should have to say it in the absence of further items on the Agenda that might have sheltered him from his doom'.2 Marsh went on to deliver a detailed lecture on a Kentish charity, founded in the seventeenth century, of which he had been steward for thirty years. His address did not fall into the category which he indicated and I hope that what follows will not either. It is generally assumed that Quakers are and always have been pacifists. My intention is to suggest that this assumption is mistaken, at least so far as the major foreign wars of the period 1899-1945 are concerned. This is the theme which this talk seeks to address. (My guess, after a mere twenty-odd years of membership of the Religions Society of Friends, is that by no means all Friends are pacifists today, or would be if a hypothetical war involved large numbers of British armed forces). It is of particular relevance at the present time. -

IIE desire to know of the principal incidents in the lives of our progenitors, as well as the places of their births, and their origin, has induced a goodly number to make such researches for . of those persons and families migrated to this country became the S personal accounts who and first settlers, as the records preserved have afforded though in many cases these permanent ; investigations have discovered but a meagre account, yet they have nevertheless encouraged the compilation of many of the family genealogies that have been published. It is the purpose of this work, "Old Families of Concord, Massachusetts, and their Descendants in Part to the Present Generation,” to give genealogies of some of the families who first settled there, and of their descendants; but it is in no wise intended to give an account of Concord, its settlement, history, or growth, excepting as may appear in the personal relations of some herein noted. The genealogical tallies begin with items respecting the families of Barrett, Blood, Brooks, Brown, Bulkeley, Buttrick, Conant, Davis, Farrar, Flint, Hartwell, Hayward, Hosmer, Hubbard, Jones, Minott, Potter, Prescott, Wheeler, Willard, and Wood, all of whom were known early in the settlement.
