INDEX TO THE PRINTED ACTS AND RESOLVES OF, AND OF THE PETITIONS AND REPORTS TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, FROM THE YEAR 1758 TO 1850. B T JOHN RUSSELL BARTLETT, SECRETARY OF STATE. PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. PROVIDENCE: GEORGE H. WHITNEY. 1 8 56. PREFACE. At the January session, 1853, of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island, a Resolution was passed directing the Secretary of State to make, or cause to be made, a complete alphabetical Index of all the volumes of the Schedules or Acts of Assembly which were destitute of such Index. On examination it was found that the printed Acts of the Assembly in the Secre- tary's Office, commenced in the year 1758, and that they were destitute of Indices to the year 1828. From that period an Index accompanied the Acts of each session ; but, as these Indices had not been made according to any partic- ular system, it was found to be exceedingly difficult, in many cases, to find the acts or resolutions sought for. To obviate this difficulty, and make the Index as complete as possible, the General Assembly at its session in January, 1856, passed the following : RESOLUTION* directing the Secretary of State to complete the Alphabetical In- dex to the Schedules and to print and distribute the same. Resolved, That the Secretary of State be directed to complete, or cause to be completed, the Alphabetical Index to the Schedules from the year 1828 to the year 1850 inclusive, in the same manner as the Index to the volumes of the preceding years has been made; and that when completed, there shall be printed under his direction, two hundred and fifty copies of the same, the expense to be paid out of the General Treasury upon the order of the Gov- ernor. Resolved, That when printed, the Index shall be, by the Secretary, distributed as follows, viz : 1 copy to each State and Territory of the United States. 1 copy each to the Library of Congress, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Interior, and the Smithsonian Institution. 1 copy each to the Town Clerks of each town in the State. 1 copy each to the Chief Justice and the associate Justices. 1 copy each to the General Treasurer and Attorney General. 1 copy each to the Clerks of the Courts as appendages to their several offices. 1 copy each to Brown University. Providence Athenaeum, Mechanics' Lib- rary, Redwood Library, Newport, Providence Bar Library, Carrington Lib- rary, Woonsocket, Newport Historical Society, the State Prison. 1 copy to each town in the State, for its principal Library. 50 copies to Historical Societies and Colleges at the discretion of the Secre- tary. 20 copies for the R. I. Historical Society. The balance to remain in the office of the Secretary of State for future distribution by order of the Governor. iv. PREFACE. "When the present Secretary entered upon the duties of his office in May, 1855, his predecessor, W. E. "Watson, Esq., had commenced this Index. It was afterwards continued by him to the year 1797. From that time to the close of the year 1850, the labor on it has been wholly performed by the present Secretary. The Index covers a period of 93 years, embracing 454 sessions of the General Assembly, and contains upwards of 20,000 references. A glance at the work will show its plan. Beginning with the earliest year, 1758, each act, resolution, petition, report, or other matter before the Assem- bly, is alphabetically arranged in chronological order, with the year and session when they were were passed, presented, acted on, or referred to. The subject, or prominent actor in every case is made the leading word in the Index, and when two words are equally prominent they are both entered. Other important matters before the Assembly, and acts of importance, having double references, such as Banks, Insurance Companies, Turnpikes, etc., will generally be found entered in two places for convenience of reference. There have also been prefixed to the Index the following tables : The Banks in Rhode Island, their location, time when chartered, with the date of the several amendments and acts relating thereto. Institutions for Savings, their location, when chartered, with subsequent acts relating thereto. Insurance Companies, with similar references. Railroad Companies, with similar references. Persons in search of historical facts, or legislative action, connected with any particular subject, should refer to the period when the events occurred, under different letters of the alphabet. Thus the Acts of the Colonial Assembly during the old French War will be found at the commencement of each letter of the Index. The War of the Revolution from 1774 to 1783. The War of 1812 with Great Britain, or the Insurrection of 1842-43, in their respective places. PREFACE. vii.

That figure rises to nine planets when compared with the average of the United States or Canada. 07-26304—DPI/1888/Rev.3—August 2008—15M Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the United Nations FOR STUDENTS AT INTERMEDIATE AND SECONDARY LEVELS United Nations Department of Public Information New York, 2010 An introduction to the United Nations i Material contained in this book is not subject to copyright.

    Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by John Greenwood, 1755 Courtesy The St. Louis Museum of Art Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by Robert W. Kenny* Rhode Island History, 36:4 (November 1977), pp 107-117. Digitally re-presented from .pdf available on-line courtesy of the RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1977_Nov.pdf In 1948 the City Art Museum of St. Louis purchased the painting Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam. Removal of that canvas from Rhode Island to the Midwest was a source of regret to some and perhaps relief to other citizens, for artist John Greenwood had captured for posterity a memorable bacchanalia of Rhode Islanders who — by the long arm of coincidence — found themselves in port in the Dutch colony of Surinam sometime during the late 1750s. Most participants in that gala would later hold prominent positions in the civil and military history of His Majesty's colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and during the American Revolution. Identification of the revelers is part of the tradition of the Jenckeses, a family distinguished in the life of Rhode Island for generations. Until its sale to the City Art Museum, that picture had always been in the possession of John Jenckes' descendents, who sold it with great reluctance. Aside from its value as a work of art, associational interest makes Sea Captain Carousing in Surinam a provocative study. It is the purpose of this paper to examine if it were possible or probable that all or some Newport and Providence merchants and mariners, traditionally identified, could have been in Surinam at the time Greenwood depicted them in such Hogarthian attitudes.

From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.

The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves, ALISON MAXELL We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!” Humbert Wolfe Ah, sweet Autumn - colorful foliage, crisp fall mornings, warm wool sweaters – my favorite time of the year. The shift in the seasons, the hint of promised change stirs my soul…and today I am grateful. This past spring you left us spellbound by your spirit and generosity – exceeding our Annual Fund expectations and sending us into the summer with promise and possibility. In early July we reviewed final recommendations from our consultancy and received news of Christina’s fellowship. Informed by both, we made the bold decision to suspend fall programming to enable board and staff to engage more deeply in the planning process – a strategic investment now of time and talent for the promise of a future filled with new possibility. By August, the Athenaeum became center stage - transforming from library to Hollywood set to construction site as members, tourists, artists, filmmakers, and contractors came and went. Suddenly, summer slipped by, students returned, a new semester began - the hustle and bustle of Benefit Street was back - fall had arrived. Inside the Athenaeum, leaves and crushed berries spot the carpets while the familiar scent of old books suggests you are home. Depending upon the day, Mary, Tina, Amy, Amanda, Kirsty, Kathleen, Stephanie or Morgan await your arrival, ready with the latest mystery, best seller, or biscuit (canines only)! Meanwhile, Mary Anne and Allen are upstairs ordering and cataloging the next batch of new books.

A PAPER READ BEFOliE THE E. I. HISTORICAL SOCIETY, MARCH 23 AND APRIL 6, 1886, BY REV. J. P. ROOT. fLYMOUTH had its valiant Capt. Miles Standish. Prov- idence could boast of its brave and wise Capt. Arthur Fenner. If the former became more noted for his military exploits, the latter was more distinguished for commanding ability in the conduct of civil affairs. The Providence Cap- tain was less hasty and imperious in spirit than Standish, not so quick to buckle on the sword, but he may be pardoned for the possession of a more peaceable frame of mind. He certainly did not seek to make occasion for the practice of his military skill. It is generally admitted that Williams and the other colonists of our own plantation adopted and quite steadily pursued a more liberal and humane policy to- wards the Aborigines than prevailed in either of the colo- nies about her.( Fenner was not only a soldier, but was pos- sessed of statesmanlike qualities of no mean nature. He was also an expert engineer and^urveyDr. In his varied re- lations to town and colonial ^ife he shewed himself a man of admirable genius, with a mind well balanced and sagacious. His comprehensive qualities made him an energetic, shrewd and trustworthy leader in practical affairs. His age, midway between the older and the younger inhabitants, brought him into sympathy with men both of the first and second gen- erations.

Shawnee National Forest Forest Plan FEIS Appendix A – Forest Plan Revision Issues and Public Involvement APPENDIX A FOREST PLAN REVISION ISSUES AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT I. INTRODUCTION The first SNF Land and Resource Management Plan (Plan) was approved on November 24, 1986. In 1988, following 23 administrative appeals, the Forest met with appellants and reached a settlement agreement. Significant changes in the Plan resulted in an amended Forest Plan signed in 1992. A lawsuit on nine counts was filed against the Plan in 1994. The court ruled in favor of the Forest Service on five counts and in favor of the plaintiffs on four. The court remanded the entire Plan, but allowed implementation, enjoining specific activities, including commercial, hardwood-timber harvest, ATV trail designation and oil and gas development.
