    Navigating the Past: Brown University and the Voyage of the Slave Ship Sally, 1764-65 James T. Campbell Foreseeable Futures#7 Position Papers from Artists and Scholars in Public Life Dear Reader, I am honored to introduce Foreseeable Futures # 7, James Campbell’s Navigating the Past: Brown University and the Voyage of the Slave Ship Sally, 1764-65. Campbell was chair of Brown University’s Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice, charged by President Ruth Simmons in 2003 to investigate the University’s historical relationship to slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. The narrative around which Campbell organizes the Committee’s findings here is the 1764 voyage of the slave ship Sally from Providence to West Africa, where Captain Esek Hopkins “acquired” 196 men, women, and children intended for sale as slaves in Rhode Island. The Sally was owned by the four Brown brothers, benefactors of the College of Rhode Island, which in 1804 was renamed Brown University in recognition of a substantial gift from one of the brothers’ sons. The Committee’s willingness to resurrect that sober history and more, to organize public events to reflect on that legacy, exemplifies what Chancellor Nancy Cantor of Syracuse University calls scholarship in action. The Committee also issued concrete recommendations regarding ways that Brown students, faculty, and staff can continue to respond to that legacy in the present. The recommendations arise from Brown’s identity as an educational institution, “for the history of American education,” writes Campbell, “is

  • The Brown Papers the Record of a Rhode Island Business Family
    The Brown Papers The Record of a Rhode Island Business Family BY JAMES B. HEDGES HE Brown Papers in the John Carter Brown Library T of Brown University constitute the major portion of the documents accumulated by the various members of the Brown family, of Providence, in the course of their multi- farious business activities during the period from 1726 to 1913.1 They comprise letters, ships' papers, invoices, ledgers, day books, log books, etc., and total approximately 350,000 separate pieces, of which by far the greater part consists of the letters which passed between the Browns and their correspondents scattered throughout those portions of the world where trade and business were transacted. About one- fifth of the collection relates to the period before 1783. Apart from the numerous specific dark corners of Ameri- can history on which they throw light, these papers are significant: first, because the Brown family touched so many difFerent facets of American business life; second, because of the family habit of destroying nothing that was important; this resulted in an initial completeness of the collection which no subsequent, self-appointed guardian of the family's reputation has seen fit to impair. The papers, therefore, give the plain, unvarnished version of several important chapters in the history of American business. They are notable in the third place because of their time span. There are, of course, many collections of papers ' A collection of Brown Papers, especially of Moses Brown, is in the Library of the Rhode Island Historical Society, Providence. 22 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY lApril, covering one or two generations of a given family or business but it is doubtful if there is another large body of documents in America representing seven generations of one business family, whose dominant business interests shifted from one generation to another.

    Joseph Brown, Astronomer by Stuart F. Crump, Jr. Rhode Island History, January 1968, 27:1, pp1-12 Digitally represented from original .pdf file presented on-line courtesy of the RI Historical Society at http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1968_Jan.pdf DOCTOR J. WALTER WILSON has noted that all of the faculty at Brown University before 1790, with the exception of President Manning, were science professors. These men were David Howell, Joseph Brown, Benjamin Waterhouse, Benjamin West, and Perez Fobes. No doubt. Joseph Brown had much to do with establishing this trend.[1] Born on December 3, 1733, Joseph Brown was the son of James Brown and Hope (Power) Brown, and second oldest of the four Brown brothers, "Nick and Joe and John and Moe." His father, a merchant in Providence, died when Joseph was five, and the boy was brought up by his mother. It is interesting to note that he was a "consistent member of the Baptist Church, being the only one of the brothers who ever made a public profession of religion." [2] A testimonial to him written shortly after his death reads: "His Skill and Industry, in the earlier part of Life, in the Merchandize and Manufactures in which he was concerned, had rendered his Circumstances easy, if not affluent, and enabled him to indulge his natural Taste for Science." [3] Yet Joseph apparently had less interest in business than did his three brothers, and he spent a great deal of his time in intellectual pursuit. Professor Hedges points out that none of his business letters has survived, if indeed he ever wrote any.[4] His mind tended more toward science and mechanics than to trade and commerce.

PRESTON AND ROUNDS 1896 PREFACE. THE history of the Revolutionary De- fences in Rhode Island has occupied my leisure time at irregular intervals for several years past. Some of the earlier results of my study of the subject were embodied in a paper which I read before the Rhode Island His- torical Society on January 26, 1886, entitled, "Fortifications in and around Providence," and which was subsequently printed in the Narragansett Historical Register, No. 3, Vol. V. From this paper I have drawn largely for the material relating to the ac- count of the Providence defences; but I have now added much that was then to me unknown, and have corrected errors then made.
