  • A Chronology of Edwards' Life and Writings

    A Chronology of Edwards' Life and Writings

    A CHRONOLOGY OF EDWARDS’ LIFE AND WRITINGS Compiled by Kenneth P. Minkema This chronology of Edwards's life and times is based on the dating of his early writings established by Thomas A. Schafer, Wallace E. Anderson, and Wilson H. Kimnach, supplemented by volume introductions in The Works of Jonathan Edwards, by primary sources dating from Edwards' lifetime, and by secondary materials such as biographies. Attributed dates for literary productions indicate the earliest or approximate points at which Edwards probably started them. "Miscellanies" entries are listed approximately in numerical groupings by year rather than chronologically; for more exact dating and order, readers should consult relevant volumes in the Edwards Works. Entries not preceded by a month indicates that the event in question occurred sometime during the calendar year under which it listed. Lack of a pronoun in a chronology entry indicates that it regards Edwards. 1703 October 5: born at East Windsor, Connecticut 1710 January 9: Sarah Pierpont born at New Haven, Connecticut 1711 August-September: Father Timothy serves as chaplain in Queen Anne's War; returns home early due to illness 1712 March-May: Awakening at East Windsor; builds prayer booth in swamp 1714 August: Queen Anne dies; King George I crowned November 22: Rev.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.
  • 350 the NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY My Dearest Friend

    350 the NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY My Dearest Friend

    350 THE NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams. Edited by Margaret A. Hogan and C. James Taylor. (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2007. Pp. xx, 508.$35.00.) In the realm of founders’ chic—that neighborhood of the public sphere populated by the numerous readers of the recent biographies of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, and Hamilton—John and Abigail Adams are the power couple. The letters they exchanged—by turns witty, affectionate, pointed, informative, and always intelligent— are the prime reason for their status and popularity. John Adams’s most attractive, readable prose arguably emerges in his letters, par- ticularly in those to his wife. None of the other leading founders had wives who wrote as well as Abigail did, or, if they did, their letters have not been preserved. For example, when their spouses died, Martha Washington and Thomas Jefferson destroyed their inti- mate correspondence. Although John and Abigail’s letters are full of homely details about life in Braintree or, for John, about life away from home, their exchanges sparkle with intelligent concern about the issues of their day and gracefully display the wide reading that informed their thought. In 1876, Charles Francis Adams prepared an edition of John and Abigail’s letters to mark the centennial of the Revolution. He pre- sented 284 letters that dated from 1774 to 1783, when the Treaty of Paris was concluded. In 1975, on the occasion of the war’s bicen- tennial, Lyman Butterfield and fellow editors of the Adams Papers prepared The Book of Abigail and John, another edition of selected letters between the Adamses.

    NOTES on the HISTORY of the FEDERAL COURT of CONNECTICUT* by Josk A

    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.
  • Eli's First Two Thousand

    Eli's First Two Thousand

    Eli's First Two Thousand Stephen D. Marvin On December 8, 1765, in the town of Westborough, County of Worcester, Colony of Massachusetts, a baby boy was born into a prosperous farming family named Whitney. He was the first born; his parents christened him Eli. This little boy was, in manhood, to play a significant role in the development of the American industrial revolution and would be, in a very real sense, an innocent contributor to the confluence of factors which would culminate in the American Civil War. If Eli Whitney was not a precocious child, he was, at least, very energetic, bright, and eager, and early exhibited unusual mechanical genius. When he was fifteen or sixteen, he started a nail manufacturing business and, since nails were at a premium during the Revolution, the venture proved to be extremely profitable. When the war ended upland green seed cotton and that all the lands which were and the bottom fell out of the nail market, his "machinery" unsuitable for the cultivation of rice would yield large crops and special tools were just the thing for manufacturing of cotton-if there were only some way to clean it.
