  • At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin: a Brief History of the Library Company of Philadelphia
    At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin: A Brief History of The Library Company of Philadelphia On July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up "Articles of Agreement" to found a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to settle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative library, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each created the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder's library. Thus "the Mother of all American Subscription Libraries" was established. A seal was decided upon with the device: "Two Books open, Each encompass'd with Glory, or Beams of Light, between which water streaming from above into an Urn below, thence issues at many Vents into lesser Urns, and Motto, circumscribing the whole, Communiter Bona profundere Deum est." This translates freely: "To pour forth benefits for the common good is divine." The silversmith Philip Syng engraved the seal. The first list of desiderata to stock the Tin Suggestion shelves was sent to London on March 31, 1732, and by autumn that Box, ca.

  • Medicine in Old Philadelphia
    MEDICINE IN OLD PHILADELPHIA BY HENRY BURNELL SHAFER, PH.D. Haddon Heights, New Jersey I N the report of the Committee on Medical Costs, issued in 1933, Philadelphia is described as a city of unusually fine and diverse medical facilities.' This description, if, at any given time in the past, we compare the city with other cities of the country, would still be true. In this paper, I shall survey medical Philadelphia be- tween the years 1750 and 1850 and briefly sketch the beginnings of many of its medical institutions. In 1750 the American colonies were without a medical college. There were, it is true, a few teachers of anatomy. As early as 1751, Thomas Cadwalader was giving such instruction in Phila- delphia. At that time, becoming a doctor involved one of two procedures: apprenticeship to a practicing physician for an indefi- nite number of years, or study abroad. In 1766, the young Phila- delphian could supplement his apprenticeship by attending the clinical lectures of Dr. Thomas Bond at the Pennsylvania Hospital, but up to that date he lacked even such instruction. During these years three capable young men, John Morgan, William Shippen, Jr., and Benjamin Rush, went to Edinburgh to study medicine. When Morgan returned, he proposed to the trustees a medical department in connection with the Philadelphia College.2 His plan was accepted, and by 1769 the three physicians composed the faculty of the first medical school in this country. When, in that year, the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine were conferred upon five young men, formal medical education in America was on its way.

  • The 'Diaries of Sydney Qeorge Fisher
    The 'Diaries of Sydney Qeorge Fisher A MORE trustful generation of historical readers than that of the /\ present day was once familiar with the name and fame of Ji JL Sydney George Fisher (i856-1927), a prolific Philadelphia writer. In his forties, Fisher began to produce such works as The True 'Benjamin Franklin, The True William Tenn, The True Story of the ^American Revolution and The True Daniel Webster. Fisher had his place as a historian, but his interpretations have been largely super- seded by more recent writings. It is, in fact, quite possible that the value of his work may in time be considered of less significance than the rich store of source material contained in the unpublished diaries of his father. The career of Sydney George Fisher (1808-1871), the diarist and father of the historian, was an obscure and unsuccessful one. Were it not for the lengthy series of diaries he kept from 1834 to l%ll his life would be totally forgotten. The countless hours which he spent, however, recording his thoughts on personalities and events, both local and national, produced a record for which historians will long be grateful, as they study his extraordinarily penetrating account. From its pages the character of the diarist emerges with startling clearness. Scion of an aristocratic and notable merchant family of early Philadelphia, he had high regard for the respectability which such a background gave him. Deeply ingrained with a sense of his family's importance, Sydney George Fisher built his life and centered all his tastes on his concept of the gentleman.

ROTH Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. HORATIO C WOOD, JR. January 73, 1841-January 3, 7920 BY GEORGE B. ROTH One should bear in mind that even if science and the scientific spirit were better understood and more widely spread, still we should not be too pleased with ourselves. Science, however necessary it may be, is not suffi- cient, and it will become more and more insufficient as it increases. There was a time when science sprang up as it were in the shadow of wisdom, but it has grown so exuberantly that wisdom is choked—and that is really frightening. If the same development continued without compensation, science would end in turning against humanity.—George Sarton. Fore- word to Bernard Jaffe's Men of Science in America (1944). AMONG THE PIONEERS in American science who rose to prominence li in the latter part of the nineteenth century was a versatile Pennsylvanian: physician-teacher-scientist, Horatio C Wood.1 1 His name appears in the Dictionary of American Biography as Horatio Charles, and in the Dictionary of American Medical Biography (Kelly and Burrage) as Horatio Curtis. His son, Dr. Horatio Charles Wood, Jr., in a personal communication to the author of this memoir, stated that his middle name was not Curtis or Charles, but simply C, without a period.
