To the Legislature of Maine : In compliance with the laws of the State, I have the honor to submit the following report and lists of additions made to the State Library during the year ending December 31, 1870: The amount received by appropriation was one thousand dol"." lars ($1,000), and a balance unexpended from thd previous year of one hundred and thirty-one dollars and seventy-six cents ($131.76), making a total of eleven hundred and thirty-one dol­ lars and seventy-six cents ( $1,131. 76) received for the use of the library during the year. The amount of expenditure for the same time, for the purehase of books, and incidental expenses, has been ten hundred and forty-eight dollars and ninety-one cents ( $1, 048. 91), leaving un­ expended a balance of eighty-two dollars and eig·hty-five cents ( $82.85) for the use of the library till the next annual appropria­ tion shall be received. A large part of this amount will be re­ quired in payment for books already ordered, but which are not yet received. The lilsts of books submitted with this report show an increase of the library by purchase of 459 volumes, con~isting of law books, 57 volumes, miscellaneous books, 358 volumes, periodicals, 44 volumes. The donations have increased to 203 books, documents and pawiphlets for the last year, while the exchanges show no material variation, 325 books, documents and pamphlets having been re­ ceived during the same time; so that the aggregate accessions of all classes has reached the number of 987 during the year. The same general attention has been given during the yea:r as formerly to the completion of imperfect sets in the various depart-· ments, so far as the library funds would warrant, and a due regard. to the purchase of later works seemed to render judicious. Such 6 STATE LIBRARY. missing parts of sets as can easily be obta1ned at reasonable prices, have been nearly all supplied, and those still needed are only to be obtained by careful search, and in process of time; so that the increase in this particular direction has apparently not been so great as the last year, though in the sets of State Reports several important spaces have been filled, and in the other departments a reasonable progress has been made. The donations, as stated above, have somewhat increased during the year in number and value, and the library is specially indebted for much of this increase to the attentions of the Senators in Con­ gress from Maine, and to the Hon. John Lynch, :M. 0., each of whom have generously supplied the library with valuable Con­ gressional documents. The exchanges have continued during this year with the several States and institutions with the same satisfactory results as in for-. mer years; in the continuation of the series of reports and laws, and the accumulation of much valuable information, that has been made the subject of judicial or legislative investigation in the sev­ eral States. During the year, lists of duplicates in the library of our own publications, and also lists showing the present condition of the publications of each State, in our possession, have been in preparation, to aid in securing complete sets of the laws and re­ ports of other States ; and from the uniform courtesy and valuable assistance already received from the various State officers, .and the generous promises of assistance so soon as they have informa­ tion to enable them to act properly in the matter, we may reason­ ably hope for considerable additions in this department during the year. Ten volumes only lrnve been lost during the year, and those in­ jured by reaso'n of the imperfections in the roof have been repaired and returned to their places upon the shelves. These defects in the roof of the Capitol building have oeen repaired, and a danger which was rapidly becoming more serious, has been removed. An enlargement of the second room in the lihrary, to which I had the honor to call the attention of the Legislature in my last report, has been made by the Superintendent of Public Buildings, under the direction of the Governor and Council, and I am confident that this appropriation of what was mere waste room in the building, to its present purposes, with due regard to economy of expendi­ ture, and the great need of the library, will commend itself to your judgment as one eminently fit to be made. It contains shelf- LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 7 room for the State documents of the several States, so far as we now have, or shall for the present be able to obtain them, for the later CoJ?grcgationa~ documents, and a case of newspaper files ; and thus renders available a· considerable mass of information that heretofore has been, from difficulty of examination, nearly or quite useless. It was thought possible, at the issue of the last report, to ar­ range the books upon the shelves in this new room in connexion with the regular libra'ry work, after the repairs had been com- . pleted, and before the close of the year. This has been done ; but the i~1dicing and binding of pamphlets, which I had hoped to com­ plete before the present time, has not been finished. No delay will be occasioned during the present year by the presence of work­ men and the prosecution of repairs, and this work will be com­ pleted at an early date. His Excellency, the Governor, with his Council, who are the legal Board of Trustees of the State Library, have given much valuable attention during the year to the needs of this depart­ ment, and assistance in its management; and it is believed, that while it is continually enlarged by gradual accessions, its condi­ tion is one of real improvement and increasing value.

    Alice & Phoebe Cary Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction Alice (1820-1871) and Phoebe Cary (1824-1871) were 19th century American poets born and raised outside Cincinnati, Ohio, on their family’s Clovernook Farm. Although they lacked formal education, their mother encouraged their interest in literature and writing, and in 1838, Alice published her first poem in a local newspaper. Alice and Phoebe continued to publish locally until 1847 when Alice began to write for the National Era. The Cary sisters gained national attention and were admired by several well-known writers, including Edgar Allan Poe. Their 1850 publication Poems of Alice and Phoebe Cary allowed them to move to New York City. Here they made their living writing poetry and prose for periodicals and independent publications, and were at the center of the literary and social scene. The tenets of their Universalist upbringing and passion for social justice, especially for women’s rights, were often reflected in their writing. The sisters died months apart in 1871 and are buried in Brooklyn, New York. Important Dates . April 26, 1820: Alice Cary is born near Mt. Healthy, Ohio, to Robert and Elizabeth Jessup Cary. September 4, 1824: Phoebe Cary is born near Mt. Healthy, Ohio. 1838: Alice’s poem “The Child of Sorrow” is published in The Sentinel, Cincinnati’s Universalist newspaper. 1847: Alice begins to write for the National Era, Washington, D.C.’s abolitionist newspaper. 1849: Alice and Phoebe contribute to Rufus Griswold’s The Female Poets of America anthology. 1850: Poems of Alice and Phoebe Cary is published, and the sisters move to New York City.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

An interesting bit of transportation history of the City of New York well remembered by many old New Yorkers may be told in connection with the fine line of steamboats which plyed the East River from Harlem to Peck's Slip. The record of these "Sylvan" boats is definitely preserved in the five splendid water-color paint­ ings which have recently become the property of The New York Historical Society and are reproduced in this issue of the Bulletin, while the boats themselves have all been destroyed with the pos­ sible exception of one, as this article will hereafter relate. At the time that these steamboats were built traveling from the lower end of Manhattan Island to Harlem, was accomplished by the stages and later the horse cars and it is variously recorded that a trip from City Hall to Harlem Bridge by the horse car took from one hour and a half to two hours for the journey.

    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

The thirty-fourth annual meeting, which was to have taken place at Cleveland on December 27 and 28, was indefinitely postponed on' account of a strong recommendation, received from the health officer of that city a few days before the date on which the meeting should have taken place, that it should be omitted because of the epidemic of influenza then prevailing in Cleveland. Yet, though there is no annual meeting to chronicle in these pages, it will be convenient to members that the formal matter spoken of above should be found in its customary place. Moreover, though no meeting of the Asso­ ciation has taken place, there was a meeting of the Executive Council held in New York on January 31 and February I, 1919, some of the transactions of which, analogous to those of the Asso­ ciation in its annual business meeting, may here for convenience be described.

AMERICAN HISTORIOGRAPHY SINCE 1865 5 II. CHANGES IN INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR 28 III. CHANGES IN INTERPRETATIONS OF CONDITIONS DURING THE COURSE OF THE WAR 52 IV. EFFECTS OF HISTORICAL REVISION ON TEXTBOOKS. 67 BIBLIOGRAPHY 78 Of all the events in American life, none seems to have stimulated the production of a greater bulk of literature, historical or otherwise, than the Civil War. Aside from the inspiration afforded by the rather dramatic quality of the war itself, probably no other episode in American history has aroused such widespread partisan feeling or so strong a disposition to apportion blame, to excuse, vindioate, or explain, publicly, the causes and events of the conflict. Consequently, in the years immediately following the war, many participants, both actual and vicarious, kept an interested public supplied with a quantity of literature that was usually either panegyrical or polemical in tone. As a result, a "correct" Northern and an equally "correct" Southern interpretation was developed rapidly; and before long, general opinion in both sections, supported by common memories and prejudices, was crystallized into an almost impervious tradition. Time itself has tended to make brittle these accumulated myths and legends. Furthermore, new sources of information have been exploited, new generations of writers have matured, and new points of view on the subject of history itself — its proper content, uses, and methods — have been developed and have operated to erode the surface of the older beliefs and assumptions.
