Ludlow, Governor of the Stats o/.New Jer,ey, and ex-o.y_cio President of the Board of Managers of the State Geological Survey : SII_--Ihave the honor herewith to submit my annual report as State Geologist for the year 188L With high respect, Your obedient servant, GEO. H. COOK, State Geologist. NEW JERSEY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY I REPORT. The Geological Survey of the State has been continued through the year, and its work has been, as heretofore, to develop and make public the natural products and resources of New Jersey. The amount of"work which has been done is here arranged under the following heads : I. The United States Coast and Geodetic Surveyof New Jersey. II. Topographical Surveys. III. Geological Notes. IV. Ores of Iron and other Metals. V. Quarry Stones and Statistics. VI. Clays, Bricks and Pottery. VII. Drainage. VIII. Water Supply. IX. Statistics. X. Publications. XI. Expenses. XII. Persons Employed. XIII. Work to be Done--Plan for the Coming Year. APPENDIx--Climate and Meteorology. NEW JERSEY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 8 ANNUAL REPORT OF I. THE [TNITEI)S]'ATESCOASTANDGEODETIC SURVEYOF NEWJERSE/. This work is prosecuted continuously, and the progress made during the season just past has been highly satisfactory. Though dons at the expense of the United States, it is directed in such ways and to such places as may best suit the State Geologist, and aid him in carrying forward the State Survey. Daring the past year primary stations have been occupied at Montana, in Warren county, and at Culver's Gap and High Point, in Sussex county, and observa- tions have been taken upon several other stations. And the exact latitude and longitude of seven (7) primary stations and of twenty- eight (28) tertiary stations h_ve been determined by this survey. In conducting this work every possible means are taken to ensure accuracy. The best instruments are provided, and the observers are trained to wait patiently until repeated ahd unquestionably accurate observations can be made. This frequently requires weeks, and sometimes months, in a single place, before satisfactory results can be obtained. But the object sought is really obtained, and the exact geographical positions of places are found with astonishing dosensss. In the progress of the work this season, the line between Montana and Pickles mountain is one of the lines from the center of a hexagon around Pickles, and the azimuths of this line, as arrived at by com- puting from the triangles on each side, agree within 1"; the lengths of the line arrived at in the same way differ by less than 4 inches on a distance of 19 miles, the latitudes of Montana agree within 0.006", and the longitudes within 0.001". These results are very satisfactory, and they supply a series of reliable points, about which maps may he correctly and safely constructed.

  • Passaic Falls
    THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE PASSAIC FALLS Paterson New Jersey Bv WILLIAM NELSON PATERSON, N. J. : THE PRESS PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY. 1892. COPYRIGHT x892 Bv WILLIAM NELSON The Passaic Falls are the most remarkable bit of natural scenery in New Jersey. In some respects they are unique. For more than two centuries they have been visited by travelers from all parts of the world. Their peculiar formation, and the strange rocks in the neighborhood, have excited the wonder and curiosity of all beholders, and have of ten suggested the thought, "How was this cataract formed? Why these peculiar 1·ocks and mountains?" In preparing a History of the City of Paterson-a city which was located at the Great Falls to take advantage of the water-power-the writer's attention was naturally di­ rected to the question which has arisen in the minds of all who have stood at the spot where the Passaic river takes its mad plunge over the precipice. In the following pages he has attempted an answer, by giving some account of the Geological History of the Passaic Falls. This paper is the first Chapter of the more extended History of Paterson mentioned. Only one hundred copies have been printed separately in this form. The writer will be pleased to receive suggestions and corrections from any who may receive a copy of this pamphlet. The references and notes have been made full, as a guide to those unfamiliar with the subject, who may wish to pursue it further. PATERSON, N. J., November 24, 1892.

Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, in New York. The work is dedicated to the great American composer Steve Reich in honor of his seventieth birthday that month. Without his brilliant and sustained vision, our contemporary musical language would be much poorer. I personally owe Steve a great debt of gratitude; as a young and inexperienced composer, I went to Ghana in 1970 to study polyrhythmic drumming and, by chance, met Steve, who was there for the same reason and whom I knew of and admired for his early minimalist compositions Come Out and Violin Phase. He took me under his wing and gave me a listening and score-reading tour of his current work. Later I collaborated with Terry Riley, one of Steve’s important influences, and the music of these two composers, along with jazz, became my most significant inspiration as I began to develop my own musical ideas. In this piece I have interpreted the concept of drones quite liberally to encompass not only long sustained tones but also repeating rhythms on one pitch or repeating melodic and harmonic patterns in a single mode.

Historical and commemorative medals can often be used to help illustrate the plight of a People. Such is the case with medals issued during the period of the War of 1812. As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.

  • Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015)
    FINDLEY JR, JAMES WALTER, Ph.D. “Went to Build Castles in the Aire:” Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 266pp. This study examines the early phases of Anglo-North American colonization from 1570 to 1640 by employing the lenses of imagination and failure. I argue that English colonial projectors envisioned a North America that existed primarily in their minds – a place filled with marketable and profitable commodities waiting to be extracted. I historicize the imagined profitability of commodities like fish and sassafras, and use the extreme example of the unicorn to highlight and contextualize the unlimited potential that America held in the minds of early-modern projectors. My research on colonial failure encompasses the failure of not just physical colonies, but also the failure to pursue profitable commodities, and the failure to develop successful theories of colonization. After roughly seventy years of experience in America, Anglo projectors reevaluated their modus operandi by studying and drawing lessons from past colonial failure. Projectors learned slowly and marginally, and in some cases, did not seem to learn anything at all. However, the lack of learning the right lessons did not diminish the importance of this early phase of colonization. By exploring the variety, impracticability, and failure of plans for early settlement, this study investigates the persistent search for usefulness of America by Anglo colonial projectors in the face of high rate of

  • Archives and Justice: Willard Ireland's Contribution to the Changing Legal Framework of Aboriginal Rights in Canada, 1963–
    Archives and Justice: Willard Ireland’s Contribution to the Changing Legal Framework of Aboriginal Rights in Canada, 1963–1973 ANNE LINDSAY* RÉSUMÉ Malgré leur rôle essentiel dans l’acquisition, le classement, la préservation et la diffusion de documents culturels et légaux importants, les contributions des archivistes canadiens en matière de droits humains et de justice sociale au Canada et dans le monde ont souvent été négligées. Pourtant, ces contributions ont influencé le discours public et légal par rapport aux questions telles les droits des Autochtones et elles ont résonné dans les décisions judiciaires qui sont aujourd’hui à la base de notre connaissance de ces questions. Étant donné leur accès à une information plus poussée du contexte historique et de l’histoire des documents d’archives, les archivistes appor- tent souvent des perspectives uniques; cependant, on prend souvent pour acquis cet accès au contexte et à l’histoire. La vie et la carrière de Willard Ernest Ireland (1914- 1979), archiviste provincial de la Colombie-Britannique de 1940 à 1974, illustre bien cet oubli. On a peu écrit au sujet d’Ireland et de l’influence de sa carrière, non seule- ment sur la préservation de l’histoire, mais aussi sur la création même de celle-ci. Ce texte examinera les contributions clés de Ireland à deux causes judiciaires, Regina v. White and Bob et Calder v. The Attorney General of British Columbia, causes criti- ques pour l’établissement d’un fondement légal pour les droits des Autochtones au Canada. ABSTRACT Despite their pivotal roles in collecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating important cultural and legal records, the contributions of Canadian archivists to the pursuit of human rights and social justice in Canada and the world * This paper has come about through the kindness and support of many people.

  • Stooping to Conquer: Heathen Idolatry and Protestant Humility in the Imperial Legend of Sir Francis Drake
    Stooping to Conquer: Heathen Idolatry and Protestant Humility in the Imperial Legend of Sir Francis Drake by ChristopherHodgkins T NHE Muses seem to have neglected Sir FrancisDrake. "Itis curi- ous," writes W. T. Jewkes, "that Drake's voyages and exploits have made such a small impact on major English literature, par- ticularly in his own age." I On one level, Jewkes is right; as Michael J. B. Allen has noted, there is nothing about Drake in English to compare with Luis de Camoens's brilliantly realized Os Lusiados, his national epic about the Portuguese mariner Vasco da Gama. So, says Allen, Drake's influence on English literature is only felt "gradually, obliquely, inconspicuously almost," in the imagery of The Tempest, in Donne's hymn in his sickness, in Marvell's ode on the Bermudas. "Drake's finest interpreter might have been Conrad," Allen suggests; but he laments that Conrad "left Drake unillumined by his intricate, musical prose."2 Throughout this essay I have, wherever possible, cited rare printed books according to their reference numbers in these two major catalogues: A. W. Pollard and G. R. Redgrave, A Short-TitleCatalogue of BooksPrinted in England, Scotland,and Irelandand of English Books Printed Abroad, 1475-1640, 2nd ed. (London: The Bibliographical Society, 1986), 2 VOlS.; and Donald Wing, A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,and British Americaand of English BooksPrinted in OtherCountries, 1641-1700, 2nd ed. (New York: Modern Language Association, 1972), 3 vols. I have used the common abbre- viations for these two works, that is, "STC"and "Wing," respectively.
