Thomas Say and Thoreau’S Entomology THOMAS SAY AND THOREAU’S ENTOMOLOGY “Entomology extends the limits of being in a new direction, so that I walk in nature with a sense of greater space and freedom. It suggests besides, that the universe is not rough-hewn, but perfect in its details. Nature will bear the closest inspection; she invites us to lay our eye level with the smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. She has no interstices; every part is full of life. I explore, too, with pleasure, the sources of the myriad sounds which crowd the summer noon, and which seem the very grain and stuff of which eternity is made. Who does not remember the shrill roll-call of the harvest fly? ANACREON There were ears for these sounds in Greece long ago, as Anacreon’s ode will show” — Henry Thoreau “Natural History of Massachusetts” July 1842 issue of The Dial1 “There is as much to be discovered and to astonish in magnifying an insect as a star.” — Dr. Thaddeus William Harris 1. Franklin Benjamin Sanborn reported that “one of Harvard College’s natural historians” (we may presume this to have been Dr. Thaddeus William Harris, Thoreau’s teacher in natural science in his senior year) had remarked to Bronson Alcott that “if Emerson had not spoiled him, Thoreau would have made a good entomologist.” HDT WHAT?

This publication was unauthorized.) March: Friend Thomas Say had it printed in the Pennsylvania Journal, that “Whereas a certain William Mentz has printed for sale, without my knowledge or consent, ‘The Vision of Thomas Say,’ which is but an incorrect and imperfect part of what I propose to make public. And as I never intended what I had wrote on that head to be published during my life, all persons are desired not to encourage the said Mentz in such wrong proceeding.” THE FUTURE IS MOST READILY PREDICTED IN RETROSPECT “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Thomas Say and Thoreau’s Entomology HDT WHAT?

OHNE MICH! Some Quakers, however, terming themselves “Free Quakers,” affiliated themselves with the conflict, and there are some records of Friends in the Boston Meeting being accused of an unspecified “misconduct” which was probably the bearing of arms on one side or the other of the insurrection.

CHANGE IS ETERNITY, STASIS A FIGMENT “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Thomas Say and Thoreau’s Entomology HDT WHAT? INDEX THOMAS SAY AND THOREAU’S ENTOMOLOGY 1781 Friend John Dalton’s early years had been heavily influenced by Friend Elihu Robinson, an instrument maker and meteorologist. At the age of 15, Friend John joined his older brother Jonathan in running a Quaker school at Kendal, near the family home in Cumberland, England. The Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends held in London, this year considered it necessary once again to emphasize that the Quaker Peace Testimony was incompatible with any Quaker vessel being armed: It is recommended to the several quarterly and monthly meetings, that all concerned in armed vessels be dealt with according to the minute of 1744; and it is recommended to Friends everywhere, to take into their serious consideration the inconsistency of any under our profession suffering their temporal interest to induce them in any manner to contribute to the purposes of war. Friend Benjamin Say, a physician of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was among those known as the “fighting Quakers,” who upon being disowned by the Religious Society of Friends on account of their disregard of the Quaker Peace Testimony, initiated the formation of the society entitled “The Monthly Meeting of Friends, railed by some Free Quakers, distinguishing us from the brethren who have disowned us.”2 Friend Samuel Wetherill wrote these words upon being disowned by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting: We wish only to be freed from every species of ecclesiastical tyranny, and mean to pay a due regard to the principles of our forefathers, and to their rules and regulations so far as they apply to our circumstances, and hope, thereby, to preserve decency and to secure equal liberty to all. We have no design to form creeds or confessions of faith, but humbly to confide in those sacred lessons of wisdom and benevolence, which have been left us by Christ and His apostles, contained in the holy scriptures; and appealing to that divine principle breathed by the breath of God into the hearts of all, to leave every man to think and judge for himself, according to the abilities received, and to answer for his faith and opinions to him, who “seeth the secrets of all hearts,” the sole Judge and sovereign Lord of conscience.3 2. There’s this jest, that a Free Quaker was someone who was free of Quakerism. This wasn’t the way they thought of themselves, of course, but we don’t have a record that any of these people came back to Quakerism when the bloodshedding came to be over and the Ten Commandments reasserted themselves as guides to our conduct. 3. “An Address to those of the People called Quakers, who have been disowned for Matters Religious and Civil” HDT WHAT? INDEX THOMAS SAY AND THOREAU’S ENTOMOLOGY 1787 June 27, Wednesday: Credentials of the members of the Federal Convention: State of New Hampshire. Thomas Say was born in Philadelphia, son of the disowned “Free Quaker” physician, Dr. Benjamin Say, who in this year was co-founding the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.4 THE QUAKER PEACE TESTIMONY 4. Thomas was a great-grandson of Friend John Bartram, and during his boyhood would frequently take his butterfly and beetle specimens to his great-uncle Friend William Bartram. Refer to Harry B. Weiss and Grace M. Ziebler’s THOMAS SAY: EARLY AMERICAN NATURALIST (Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Illinois and Baltimore, Maryland, 1931) or Patricia Tyson Stroud’s THOMAS SAY: NEW WORLD NATURALIST (U of Pennsylvania P, Philadelphia, 1992). HDT WHAT? INDEX THOMAS SAY AND THOREAU’S ENTOMOLOGY 1790 In England, the jurist Jeremy Bentham was developing a scheme of control through visuality and information which he would term the “panopticon”: a prison architecturally designed to minimize personal privacy while maximizing the convenience of constant surveillance of all prisoners by a minimal set of guards. It would be in this decade, also, that the Irishman Robert Barker would be pioneering a scheme of information through visuality and surveillance which he would term the “panorama,” displayed in a specially designed “rotunda” space.

    The Life and Travels of John Bartram (1699-1777), „His Majesty´s Botanist for North America“, and his Sons Isaac, Moses and William Holger Goetzendorff, Pulheim (Alemania) [email protected] John Bartram, a Quaker, came from Derbyshire, England and settled 1681 in America. He had established himself as one of the leaders of the new community of Darby Creek near Philadelphia. He had five children among them William who was the father of the future botanist John. John Bartram John received the average education in a Quaker school. By the time he reached twelve years, his interest developed to ‚Physick ‛ and surgery and later to ‚Botanicks ‛. In 1709 his father William moved to Carolina. There was a lot of trouble between the indians and the white settlers, some of their land had been purchased, but much had simply been taken. 22.9.1711: Indians attacked the area and William was killed. His second wife and the children were taken prisoners for half a year. John Bartram and Mary Maris were maried 1722. Their son Isaac was born in 1724. She died five years later in 1727. 1728 John Bartram purchased land at Kingsessing near Philadelphia. One year later John Bartram and his second wife Ann Mendenhall were married. Residence of John Bartram, built in 1730 John built a house on his farm which is still standing today. The farm behind the house was accompanied by a large garden and one of the first botanical gardens in America. He bought a lot of land round the farm and in Philadelphia where he built houses.

  • Biblioqraphy & Natural History
    BIBLIOQRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY Essays presented at a Conference convened in June 1964 by Thomas R. Buckman Lawrence, Kansas 1966 University of Kansas Libraries University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 27 Copyright 1966 by the University of Kansas Libraries Library of Congress Catalog Card number: 66-64215 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A., by the University of Kansas Printing Service. Introduction The purpose of this group of essays and formal papers is to focus attention on some aspects of bibliography in the service of natural history, and possibly to stimulate further studies which may be of mutual usefulness to biologists and historians of science, and also to librarians and museum curators. Bibli• ography is interpreted rather broadly to include botanical illustration. Further, the intent and style of the contributions reflects the occasion—a meeting of bookmen, scientists and scholars assembled not only to discuss specific examples of the uses of books and manuscripts in the natural sciences, but also to consider some other related matters in a spirit of wit and congeniality. Thus we hope in this volume, as in the conference itself, both to inform and to please. When Edwin Wolf, 2nd, Librarian of the Library Company of Phila• delphia, and then Chairman of the Rare Books Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, asked me to plan the Section's program for its session in Lawrence, June 25-27, 1964, we agreed immediately on a theme. With few exceptions, we noted, the bibliography of natural history has received little attention in this country, and yet it is indispensable to many biologists and to historians of the natural sciences.

  • Peter Dances Books 1
    DELIGHTS FOR THE EYES AND THE MIND A brief survey of conchological books by S. Peter Dance Many years ago virtually every English town of any size supported at least one or two second-hand book- shops. It was still possible to find wonderful things lying neglected on their dusty shelves or on their even dustier floors. Such shops had an irresistible allure for the impecunious youth with a liking for natural history books that I was then. How well I remember the day when I wandered around one of these magical caves and carried off, for the princely sum of two shillings and sixpence, my first shell book, a copy of Jacques Philippe Raymond Draparnaud's Histoire Naturelle des Mollusques terrestres et fluviatiles de la France. Published in 1805 but still in pristine condition, written by a pioneer of European conchology, containing engraved plates of shells, it had been delicately annotated in pencil by a former owner, Sylvanus Hanley. The most exotic purchase I had ever made, I sensed then that it was an almost perfect acquisition for the dedicated collector of such things, for it was old and in fine condition, was illustrated (albeit not in colour), contained interesting annotations by a former owner who had himself acquired a degree of fame in the conchological world, and was a bargain at the price. Half a century later I know that it will be very difficult to repeat so satisfying a transaction for so small an outlay but interesting items will still come onto the market to tempt discerning purchasers.

    The AmericanMidland Naturalist PublishedBi-Monthly by The Universityof Notre Dame, NotreDame, Indiana VOL. 33 JANUARY, 1945 No. 1 Bibliographyof Biographiesof Entomologists* Mathilde M. Carpenter For more than fifteenyears the excellent "Bibliography of Entomologists" prepared by Mr. J. S. Wade, Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer., 21:489-520, 1928, has proved of great value to all who have an interest in the development of the science. The time seems ripe for what might be called a second edition of the work, one which will bring the subject up to date and which at the same time will enlarge its scope to include the records of biographical matter for all entomologists of all countries. It is intended that the list will be complete through 1943. The work was undertaken because of frequent inquiries about more or less inaccessible biographical data, and has been carried out in spare time for several years. All the leading entomological periodicals and many other sources have been consulted. The referencesinclude not only obituaries, but birthdays, portraits, anniversaries,biographies and disposition of collections. As regards the last named item, the writer regrets that the italicized C could not have been placed before a referenceto indicate the disposal and present location of a collection, but the realization of its importance came too late to be utilized. However, such information of all important insect collections up to 1937 can be found in an extensive paper by Walther Horn and Ilse Kahle in Entomologische Beihefte aus Berlin-Dahlem, 2:1-160, 1935; 3:161-296, 1936; 4:297-388, 1937.
