Material: Abstract: Lanman & Kemp was a multi-generational family firm of wholesale druggists in New York City. Their records document the operations of the wholesale drug business in the years before the development of modern pharmaceuticals. They also show the importance of New York City as a center for the import, export and re-export business and of London bankers in financing international trade and extending credit. ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note Lanman & Kemp was a multi-generational family firm of wholesale druggists in New York City. Lanman & Kemp was founded at 313 Pearl Street in 1808 by Robert J. Murray (d. ca. 1854), a Quaker merchant and member of the family for which Murray Hill is named. His grandfather, Robert Murray (1721-1786) had converted to the Society of Friends in Pennsylvania and with his wife Mary Lindley Murray and brother John Murray (1737-1808) moved to New York in 1753. The Murrays became extremely wealthy as merchants during the boom that accompanied the Seven Years War but were tainted by Toryism after the Revolution. Lindley Murray (1745-1826), who returned to England and became famous as a grammarian, was Robert J. Murray's uncle. His father, John Murray, Jr. (1758-1819) remained in New York as a merchant and was active in Quaker affairs, including abolition and the care of the poor. Robert J. Murray was also active in charitable pursuits and appears to have retired from active business in the late 1820s. He was succeeded by his brother Lindley Murray (ca. 1790-1847). In 1835, Lindley Murray took David Trumbull Lanman (1802-1866) as a partner under the name of Murray & Lanman at 69 Water Street. Lanman was the son of Peter Lanman (1741-1854) and Abigail Trumbull Lanman - Page 3- Lanman & Kemp records 2328 (b. 1781) of a distinguished, Norwich, Conn., family. His uncle, James Lanman (1767-1841) was a Congressman and Mayor of Norwich., and his brother Joseph Lanman (1811-1874) became a rear admiral. On his mother's side, he was a descendant of John and Priscilla Alden of Plymouth Colony, the great-grandson of Colonial Governor Jonathan Trumbull (1710-1785), and grand-nephew of the artist John Trumbull (1756-1843). Lindley Murray died in 1847, and the business was continued at the same address by Lanman alone until about 1853, when George Kemp, a young Irish immigrant, was admitted to the partnership under the style of David T. Lanman & Co. Kemp and his five siblings had been brought to the U.S. by his widowed mother in the 1830s or early 1840s. The firm became D.T. Lanman & Kemp in 1858 and Lanman & Kemp in 1861. Lanman died in 1866, but the business was continued by George Kemp, his brother Edward (ca. 1830-1901), and his sons Edward and William under the old name. It was incorporated as Lanman & Kemp, Inc., in 1920 and moved to suburban New Jersey in 1957. Several of Lanman & Kemp's traditional products are still produced and marketed by Lanman & Kemp-Barclay & Co., Inc. in 2006. Lanman & Kemp engaged in the wholesale drug trade, buying and selling materia medica throughout the United States and worldwide. They sold their own patent medicines as well as those of other producers. Their most popular product was "Florida water," an all-purpose toilet water touted for cosmetic and restorative qualities, its name associated with Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth in company advertising. Florida water was introduced by Robert Murrary on February 14, 1808 and is still sold under its original brand. Lanman & Kemp also dealt in opiates, medicinal and culinary herbs, spices, liquors, flavorings and perfumery extracts, paint and pigments, medical apparatus and glassware. In addition, they acted as purchasing agents for overseas clients and traded in retail shop fixtures, books, guns, harness, and sewing machines. Lanman & Kemp enjoyed a very large export and re-export business, particularly with Latin America, where David Lanman had traveled and retained a wide circle of correspondents. The firm employed traveling agents who covered the territory, taking orders, and also took direct orders by mail. The firm was also a large importer of raw materials from Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean, particularly opium bought through Turkish merchants. This import-export business was financed through London banking houses. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The records of Lanman & Kemp document the operations of the wholesale drug business in the years before the development of modern pharmaceuticals. They also show the importance of New York City as a center for the import, export and re-export business and of London bankers in financing international trade and extending credit. The collection is very rich for students of business history. Domestically, Lanman & Kemp's correspondence with other United States firms in the 1850s-1870s demonstrates the wholesale trade - Page 4- Lanman & Kemp records 2328 in drugs and chemicals, especially in New York City; the relationship of New York firms with small- town retailers. In terms of foreign trade, the collection highlights trade connections between New York and the rest of the world. There is much material with which to study banking and credit history, as the archives contain letters both from large banking firms and from countless small businessmen requesting credit or authorizing bank draughts. Businessmen in South America sometimes paid their bills with local produce, especially hides and coffee. Drug retailers in South and Central America can be studied through the letters, which often contain ornate letterhead describing what the store sold, discussions by the writers of their business experiences, and detailed orders naming many of the items required to stock a pharmacy. The large number of letters can also shed light on the material culture of international business: stationery, especially decorative letterhead and mourning stationery, and the use of formal business language. Long, sustained runs of telegraphic correspondence, especially between Lanman & Kemp and bankers in London or merchants in the Middle East, demonstrate the growing importance of telegraphy in the mid-nineteenth century. Many of the telegrams are written in code. Most of the letters are dated by the sender and by Lanman & Kemp, indicating when it was received; this can be used to calculate the time required to send international letters by steamers during this period. There is also evidence of Lanman & Kemp's forays into advertising: records of advertisements in foreign newspapers, and a few trade cards and newspaper advertisements are included. The nature of the Lanman & Kemp business indicates the collection's use for medical history. Thousands of different drugs are mentioned in orders, from simple herbals such as arnica to chemicals such as gold nitrate, as well as preparations such as litargirio and opodeldoc. Many correspondents also request specific medical equipment and tools, and supplies such as bandages, glassware, etc. These letters can give an idea of the medical preparations in demand in South America, and the nature of medical practice and pharmacology in large cities such as Havana as well as tiny towns in Mexico and Colombia. There are some records of orders from North American druggists as well, although generally the letters are not as detailed. Letters for New York State and Wisconsin are particularly

  • Rather Than Imposing Thematic Unity Or Predefining a Common Theoretical
    The Supernatural Arctic: An Exploration Shane McCorristine, University College Dublin Abstract The magnetic attraction of the North exposed a matrix of motivations for discovery service in nineteenth-century culture: dreams of wealth, escape, extreme tourism, geopolitics, scientific advancement, and ideological attainment were all prominent factors in the outfitting expeditions. Yet beneath this „exoteric‟ matrix lay a complex „esoteric‟ matrix of motivations which included the compelling themes of the sublime, the supernatural, and the spiritual. This essay, which pivots around the Franklin expedition of 1845-1848, is intended to be an exploration which suggests an intertextuality across Arctic time and geography that was co-ordinated by the lure of the supernatural. * * * Introduction In his classic account of Scott‟s Antarctic expedition Apsley Cherry- Garrard noted that “Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised”.1 If there is one single question that has been asked of generations upon generations of polar explorers it is, Why?: Why go through such ordeals, experience such hardship, and take such risks in order to get from one place on the map to another? From an historical point of view, with an apparent fifty per cent death rate on polar voyages in the long nineteenth century amid disaster after disaster, the weird attraction of the poles in the modern age remains a curious fact.2 It is a less curious fact that the question cui bono? also featured prominently in Western thinking about polar exploration, particularly when American expeditions entered the Arctic 1 Apsley Cherry-Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World.

  • Engineering Men: Masculinity, the Royal Navy, and The
    ENGINEERING MEN: MASCULINITY, THE ROYAL NAVY, AND THE SELBORNE SCHEME by © Edward Dodd A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT This thesis uses R.W. Connell’s hegemonic masculinity to critically examine the “Selborne Scheme” of 1902, specifically the changes made to naval engineers in relation to the executive officers of the late-Victorian and Edwardian Royal Navy. Unlike the few historians who have studied the scheme, my research attends to the role of masculinity, and the closely-related social structures of class and race, in the decisions made by Lord Selborne and Admiral John Fisher. I suggest that the reform scheme was heavily influenced by a “cultural imaginary of British masculinity” created in novels, newspapers, and Parliamentary discourse, especially by discontented naval engineers who wanted greater authority and respect within the Royal Navy. The goal of the scheme was to ensure that men commanding the navy were considered to have legitimate authority first and foremost because they were the “best” of British manhood. This goal required the navy to come to terms with rapidly changing naval technology, a renewed emphasis on the importance of the role of the navy in Britain’s empire, and the increasing numbers of non-white seamen in the British merchant marine. Key Words: Masculinity, Royal Navy, Edwardian, Victorian, Naval Engineers, Selborne Scheme, cultural imaginary, British Empire. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to the staff at the National Archives in London who were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Janet Dempsey for showing me around on my first visit.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.
