KIEFE OF P ARIS THIS V OLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY I NSCRIBED BY THE A UTHOR 156700 " W herever possible, let us not be told about this man or that. Let us hear the man himself speak, let us see him act, and let us be left to form our own opinions about him. The historian, we are told, must not leave his readers to themselves. He must not only lay the facts before them : he must tell them what he himself thinks about those facts. In my opinion this is precisely what he ought not to do." — Froude on The Science of History. PREFACE 0 w rite a comprehensive history of the Jews of South Carolina is to-day a task of no small difficulty : not that there is any dearth of material at the disposal of the historian, but by reason of the very vastness of that material, of which scarcely anything has hitherto )een utilized. Twenty years ago the task would have been a much easier one. There were then several people still living in Charleston who were born in the first decade of the nine teenth century and who could have filled in many an inter esting gap that must now remain void. sStrange a it may seem, very little of historical value has been written on the subject. Four brief sketches of the Jewish Congregation at Charleston, by the late Nathaniel Levin, in the first volume of Leeser's Occident, reproduced in substance in the Year Book of the City of Charleston for 1883, useful as far as they go but exceedingly imperfect and erroneous; a few biographical notices in Markens's The Hebrews in America and in the recently published Jewish Encyclopedia; a few items collected in the Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society, and a few mis cellaneous articles in the Jewish newspapers of the last fifty years are all that we possess. For the rest, the data have been buried in the voluminous records of various character existing in South Carolina and in the newspaper files of the 7 8 P REFACE last h undred and seventy years. The story is here pre sented for the first time from original sources. Until q uite recently the Congregation Beth Elohim had no records prior to 1866. These were long supposed to have been burnt in Columbia, where they were sent for safe keeping during the war between the States. A singular accident has brought most of these books, beginning with the year 1800, to light again. They form, indeed, a most re markable collection, and correct many fictions that till now have passed current as history. In t he preparation of this work the author has carefully collated all files of newspapers published in Charleston from 1732 to the present time; he has examined all the public documents of the State from the earliest times to the present day; he has ransacked the historical collections of the Charleston Library Society, the South Carolina His torical Society, the Winyah Indigo Society, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, and the "Wis consin State Historical Society ; and the treasures of many private libraries have passed through his hands. In t he following chapters tradition will play but an in significant part. A whole volume might be written on the traditions of the Jews of South Carolina, but it is perhaps as well to let these traditions die. Traditions, while inter esting to the general reader, do not help the truth of history. The story will therefore be treated objectively. The records will speak for themselves. Here and there personal interpretation of the documents and of the facts will be necessary. They will be interpreted in as faithful a light as possible, nothing extenuated and nothing set down in malice. The a uthor would here acknowledge his deep sense of obligation to numerous friends without whose assistance this volume could never have been carried to successful completion: to the late General Edward McCrady, whose PREFACE 9 name w ill ever be indissolubly associated with the history of South Carolina ; to the late Henry A. de Saussure, Esq., whose valuable collection of historical material he ungrudg ingly placed at his disposal; to Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., the able secretary till recently of the South Carolina Historical Society, whose time and knowledge have been unsparingly drawn upon on innumerable occasions ; to the Hon. William A. Courtenay, of Newry, who, at his own expense, sent to him some of his most precious volumes; to Mr. Yates Snowden, late of The News and Courier, who has called his attention to many suggestive data ; to Mr. A. S. Freidus and Mr. Wilberforce Eames, of the New York Public Library ; to J. Quintus Cohen, Esq., of New York, to whom the author is indebted for much valuable material; and, finally, to Henry A. M. Smith, Esq., of Charleston, to whose unceasing encouragement the publication of this volume is largely due. The a uthor would only add that the following chapters are the result of- several years of steady work done in the intervals of a busy life. He has striven to make the story as complete and as accurate as possible. Other facts may yet come to light, but all the sources at present available have been laid under contribution. Many interesting data have doubtless been omitted, but the author only claims to tell the story in as far as it is revealed in the records. When the reader considers the immensity of the task here undertaken, and the fact that this history is now written for the first time, the author feels that he may reasonably seek indulgence for any small shortcomings of which he may unconsciously be guilty.

From her settlement in 1670 to our own day it has been one long tale of glorious achievement. In not a few things has South Carolina set the pace to her sister States, but in nothing may she feel a more jus tifiable pride than in the broad and liberal principles on which she was founded. "In t he year 1669, the Lords 'did encourage severall people to come in their Vessells to inhabitt this part of their province & with the said people did alsoe send Fundamll Lawes, Constitucons under the hands & Seales of six of their Lordshipps bearing date 21st July, '69, as the unalter able forme & rule of Governmt for ever. ' " 1 This C onstitution of John Locke (1669) was a veritable Magna Charta of liberty and tolerance.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

By Meir Soloveichik April 27, 2017 6:08 p.m. ET Thomas Jefferson is buried at Monticello, his estate in Charlottesville, Va. The exact spot is marked by an obelisk bearing the date of his death: July 4, 1826—50 years to the day after the Second Continental Congress declared independence. Also close to the home lies a grave belonging to Rachel Phillips Levy. According to the inscription, she died on the 7 of Iyar, 5591, following a calendar used by traditional Jews. How did a Jewish grave end up in Monticello? The answer lies in the history of a family whose own story is every bit as American as that of Jefferson himself. In 1776 a Jewish patriot named Jonas Phillips fled to Philadelphia from New York with the arrival of the British fleet. A decade later, he was well-regarded in his new city, and his daughter Rachel was set to marry a Jewish gentleman named Levy. –– ADVERTISEMENT –– Benjamin Rush —a famous physician, signatory of the Declaration of Independence, and friend to Jefferson—attended the wedding. That Phillips had invited a prominent gentile to a Jewish ceremony, an act unthinkable almost anywhere else at the time, is a sign of the extraordinary freedom Jews had found in this new land.

    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

Description: 3 linear ft. Biographical/Historical note: The Baker family became established in South Carolina in the 17th century when Richard Baker (d. 1698) emigrated from Barbados and acquired large land holdings along the Ashley River. His grandson, Richard Baker (d. 1752), married Mary Bohun (d. 1736), daughter of Nicholas Bohun (and granddaughter of Edmund Bohun, 1645-1699); their residence was at Archdale Hall Plantation in Dorchester County, S.C. Their son, Richard Bohun Baker (1736-1783), was the next owner of Archdale Hall; he married Elizabeth Elliott (d. 1771), the daughter of Barnard Elliott (d. 1758), whose other children were Amarinthea Elliott and Barnard Elliott (d. 1778). Richard Bohun Baker's children by Elizabeth Elliott were: William Bohun Baker (died young); Elizabeth Elliott Baker; Mary Bohun Baker; Charlotte Bohun Baker; and Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), the heir of Archdale Hall, who married Harriett Hyrne. Harriett Hyrne Baker was the daughter of Mary and Henry Hyrne of neighboring Tipseeboo Plantation. Archdale Hall was next inherited by Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865), son of Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), who in turn devised it to his nephew Dr. Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1901). After his death Archdale Hall Plantation was acquired by Emma Drayton-Grimke, a great niece of Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865).

David Moltke-Hansen (at that time Director of the South Carolina Historical Society) coordinated 22 local cultural organizations into a group that could provide mutual assistance after storms or other disasters. The organization helped foster communication, local efforts of recovery, sharing of resources and expertise. CALM helped agencies, organizations, and institutions write disaster plans; sponsored workshops; and in general, raised consciousness about preservation and disaster preparedness and recovery needs. The statewide Palmetto Archives, Libraries and Museums Council on Preservation (PALMCOP) was then formed in Columbia in 1986 based on the successful model of CALM. CALM now provides an opportunity for participants in the archives, library, museum and records communities to interact in a supportive environment for the exchange of ideas and information. In 2001, CALM members created the Guide to Charleston Area Archives, Libraries and Museums to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and records managers in knowing “who has what,” and also to assist local researchers and scholars in their educational and academic pursuits. It was updated in 2004, 2008, and 2011, however, significant staffing and other changes have occurred in the last four years and this 5th edition reflects those changes.

    The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report DECEMBER 1974 NATIONAL SPACE SCIENCE DATA CENTER NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION * GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, GREENBELT, MD. NSSDC 74-16 The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report December 1974 FOREWORD The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) report is prepared by the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center for the Office of Space Science (OSS) at NASA Headquarters. The report will serve as a users guide for OSS manage- ment. In addition it is intended to provide the professional community with information about OSS current and planned investigative activity in a broad range of scientific disciplines. The report provides brief descriptions for these investigations, as well as the approximate time periods when each investigation operates and collects data. The SIDS report replaces the Space Science and Applications Program document (NHB 8030.2) from April 1960 to August 1968. Information on the supporting research and technology (SRT) and sounding rocket (SR) programs contained in that predecessor report has been deleted from SIDS, but it is available from the Office' of the Associate Administrator for Space Science. The SIDS report differs from the Report on Active and Planned Spacecraft and Experiments, edited by Julius Brecht and published by NSSDC in January 1974, in that it includes experiments and spacecraft of direct concern to OSS. At the spacecraft level, the report includes names of the program scientist and program manager. At the experiment level, the report shows whether an experiment was approved or approved conditionally, specifies the responsible OSS Division, and lists the SIDS investigation discipline codes.

  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end.
