The 1986 discovery of manuscripts believed to have been lost prompted critics to evaluate anew Sargent Murray’s literary accomplishments. Previously unpublished poems and letters mark the prolific author as an important figure in early America’s self-conscious attempt to establish a national literature. This dissertation makes available Volume One of Sargent Murray’s poetry manuscript journals: two hundred and twenty previously unpublished poems and two that were published in The Massachusetts Magazine.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT THESE studies of the older real estate ownerships of Beacon Hill were originally- made for the 'Boston Evening Transcript/ and were published by that paper in 1923, 1924 and 1925 as a series of sixteen illustrated articles. In spite of due diligence in the collection of the facts, and notwithstanding painstaking efforts to avoid typo- graphical errors, some inaccuracies of statement were inadvertently included in the original papers. Those papers are here reproduced only after careful revision, partially in the light of subsequent infor- mation, several of the chapters having been re- written or expanded. Without the inspiring and whole-hearted assist- ance given the writer by many recognized authori- ties on various aspects of the problems involved in these researches, the result would have been far less satisfactory. Most appreciative acknowledgment of their aid is therefore made to Julius H. Tuttle, Librarian, and to Worthington C. Ford, Editor, of the Massachusetts Historical Society; to Samuel Eliot Morison, historian, biographer of Harrison Gray Otis; to Walter K. Watkins, high authority on Boston antiquarian lore; to William Sumner Appleton, Corresponding Secretary of the Society ACKNOWLEDGMENT for the Preservation of New England Antiquities; to the late Irwin C.

COLLINS, PRINTER. PREFACE. From a large collection of Loyalist Poetry of the Ame- rican Revolution, belonging to J. Francis Fisher and to Winthrop Sargent, of Philadelphia, this selection has been edited. Much of it has heretofore existed but in manu- script ; and such pieces as are in print are now hardly to be found beyond the confines of two or three libraries. For this reason they are printed ; and because they are the pro- ductions of a very important party, concerning whose con- duct and motives very little is now known save by the report of its foes and subjugators. Though the editor's sympa- thies of birth and education are with these last, he can see no good reason why, at this day and in this manner, the scanty records of tory feeling should not at least be rescued from oblivion. As political poems, they are vigorous and IV PREFACE. entertaining. Their tone betrays indeed the intemperance of men writing, as Tacitus says, recentibus odiis; and it often presents an extreme contrast to that system of eulo- gizing all the abstract virtues under one proper name which is the frequent and fatal vice of American biography.

The Board felt that, as a modest booklet, such a record might be acceptable and useful to the Convention of the Universalist Church to be held in Gloucester in 1941.

  • A Census of American Latin Ferse ^ 1625-1825
    A Census of American Latin Ferse ^ 1625-1825 LEO M. KAISER Foreword JNo AT TEMPT has yet been made tolist the extant Latin verse of early American days. The present census is offered here as a preliminary, tentative effort in this direction. Over a period of twenty years I have examined the numerous early newspapers and magazines, the American imprints up to 1825, manuscripts in American libraries, and a host of other both primary and secondary sources, only partially listed in the accompanying bibliography, to find pieces of original Latin verse written by Americans. It would be naive of me, however, to think that nothing has escaped me. It affords me much pleasure to record the unstinting help I have received from the Newberry Library of Chicago, Harvard University Library, the Massachusetts Historical Society, Co- lumbia University Library, the Library of Congress, Yale Uni- versity Library, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Henry E. Huntington Library, the Library Company of Phila- delphia, the John Carter Brown Library, the New-York His- torical Society, the Library of the Boston Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, the Research Department of Colonial Wil- liamsburg.

I am in their debt more than words of mine can convey. Everett Emerson, of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, editor of Early American Literature, has shown a constant and sustaining interest in and support of my pursuits, and to him I offer a warm gratiasl The periodicals Classical Journal, Classical Bulletin, Classical Outlook, and Classical Folia have allowed me to invade their pages from time to time with studies of a later period in literary history.
