LIB1!A]!IA>-S ANNUAL EEPOKT. Lancaster, Pa.. Jan. 4, 191S. The year 1917 has proven a rather auspicious one in the history of the library and museum of the Lancaster County Historical Society. Books from the library have been extensively used by both members and non-members. Many inquiries in regard to matters historical have been answered through this medium, both through personal visits to the library and through written communication. More than the usual number of donations were received. Two especially large donations of books were those from E.x-Senator Amos Mylin, of Pequea Valley, and from Miss Lillian Evans, of Columbia. The Jlylin donation in- cludes more than 500 boobs, consisting of State and Federal Government documents and reports of many kinds. Only about two-thirds of them have been received and none included in the library tabulation as yet. The Evans donation included fifty books of a miscellaneous character, of which many were old and interesting historical works. A third large donation was that from E. M, Herr, of Pittsburgh, which in addition to much data in regard to the local Hans Plerr descendants, and cabinets, contained a dozen books, mostly g'jnealo'iical in character. The year brought a decided enlargement in the genealogical department of the library— fourteen different family histories having been received by donation. Attention should be called to the fact that the Society has a fine lot of old woodcuts and metal plates for book and newspaper work. Many of these are of much historic value. The collection numbers 1S5. Seventy of these were secured by gift during 1917, sixty-five of them, showing many old local <Iignataries and sceues which have long since changed having been donated by William Riddle, of Lanca.=ter. Another feature of the Society's collection of things historical, which n;ight be touched lightly here, is the fact that, in addition to the several fine pictures and framed documents of a valuable character, there are two score additional sucii things in our two rooms on the third floor of this building. Several of the most important things added to this collection during the year v.-ere: A framed portrait of General John C. Fremont, from the Evans dona- tion; the well known Hicks picture of American Authors, from H. F. Russel. of Lancaster; and a family group portrait including the late Dr. Frederick Albright, of Lancaster, from his sister, :\nss .\nnie Albright, of Lancaster, who also donated the Albright Bible to be added to the Society's growing collec- tion of old family Bibles. The Albright donation contained a halt dozen articles for the museum of the Society. The largest contribution to this department during the year came from Charles T. Emons. of Lancaster. This gift contained a miscellaneous as- sortment of articles-, chief among which was the finest and largest number of Indian relics — numbering more than 300 pieces —which the Society possesses. (5) (6) I The Society now has many aiitiaues, curios of an interesting sort and historical, display. ly valuable things, for which, however, there is no room for proper There were also some desirable additions to our very fine and extensive collection of old newspapers and other local periodicals now rare. One of especial note among these was a copy of "The Wreath," published seventy-two years ago in Lancaster, donated by Ilev. and Mrs. Harry I. Uartmau and ren- ovated through President F. R. Diffenderffer. A valuable historical picture among acquisitions of the year was a fine reproduction in water color of an arch that spanned West King street during Lafayette's visit to Lancaster in 1S25, which was reproduced in black and white in the Historical Society pamphlet recently. Owing to the growing demand and increasing scarcity of back numbers of the Society pamphlet, the Library Committee decided that twenty-five cents shall be the regulation price for both current and back numbers, for boili members and non-members. In order to save expense, the usual ten numbers of the publication were condensed for 1917 into eight. The volume tor 1916, and a half dozen exchanges are now in the hands of the binder. The total number of books in the library at present is 2,767. Of these, 9S were added during the past year. Two were secured by purchase. The balance were donations.

SECKKTAUrS ANM'AL ItKrORT. Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 4. 191S. On the threshold oi" anoth.er year in the existence of tlie .Lancaster County Historical Society our organization is found to be in better condition, from every standpoint, then ever before. The membership is well beyond the four hundred mark, there is a steadily increasing interest in all the afiairs of the Society among the members, while of great importance is the recognition which our organization is receiving not only from our own people but from those in other counties and other States. In fact, the Lancaster County Historical Society is a nationally recognized organization. The demand for our monthly pamphlets has been more marked the past year, we believe, than for a number of years. They are being sent to all parts of the country and many purchasers are eager to get them, never questioning the cost. It is indeed a most en- couraging sign of national recognition. It might also be stated that in the amount of original historical data gathered and published the Lancaster County Historical Society takes a very front rank. Twelve papers have been read before the Society during the year just closed and they form the usual ten numbers, although this year there are but eight pamphlets due to the fact that some of the papers were combined in one number fa sort of war conservation). Probably of chief interest to the mem- bership was the paper prepared by our retiring President, F. R. Diffenderffer. who at great length and in most entertaining manner reviewed the history of the Society from its inception down to the past year. Of the scores of special articles which have come from the pen of this valued member the one but re- cently published ranks as one of the best, .\nother very valuable paper was that on the old clocks and clockmakers in Lancaster county, by D. F. Magee, Esq., while of more general interest were the papers read at the annual outing by our newly elected President, Judge Landis, and State Librarian Thomas L. llontgomery. The Lafayette number embracing these papers is a marked feature of the 1917 volume. What shall be the special work for the New Year? There has been a sug- gestion made in the public prints that the Historical Society should begin the collection of a list of all the soldiers.

    Introduction and Study Guide This is the first edition of Speakers of the House of Representatives 1789 - 2009. With infor- mation that has never before been gathered into one volume, it not only includes detailed biographies of the 53 men and woman who have served as Speaker, but offers a wealth of supportive material that combines for a complete picture of the Speakers and the speaker- ship - the history, the power, and the changes. With detailed content, thoughtful arrangement, and several “user guide” elements, Speakers of the House of Representatives is designed for multiple levels of study. CONTENT Speaker Biographies This major portion of the work - comprises 54 detailed biographies that average 7 pages long. This section is arranged chronologically, beginning with the first Speaker — Frederick Muhlenberg, who began his term in 1789 - and ending with the current Speaker - Nancy Pelosi, who was elected in 2007 as the first female Speaker of the House. Each biography starts off with an image of the Speaker and dates of service, and thoughtfully categorized into logical subsections that guide the reader through the details: Personal History; Early Years in Congress; The Vote; Acceptance Speech; Legacy as Speaker; After Leaving the Speakership. Each biography is strengthened by direct quotations — easily identified in italics — of the Speaker, or influential colleagues of the time. In addition, scattered throughout the bio- graphical section are unique, original graphics - from autographs to personal letters - that not only give the reader an inside look at the Speaker, but also at the times during which he served. Biographies also include Further Reading, and cross references to Primary Docu- ments that appear later in the book.

    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

    Civil War Causes http://www.etymonline.com/cw/apologia.htm APOLOGIA The material here presented is meant to illuminate certain aspects of American history from the Civil War era, but it is also meant to establish arguments and to answer other arguments, either among professional historians or average Americans. Civil War Causes Some of the chapters will give due appreciation of the military effort put forth by the South -- both in comparison to the North and in its own Economics right -- establish the legitimacy of the South's bid for independence, and Yankee Canards encourage respect for the will to fight shown by the people of the Mulattoes Southern states. Others will re-emphasize that racism and slavery were, Northern Racism and remain, national experiences. Still others will give economics and Slavery as History politics their proper roles as causes of the American Civil War. Rebel View Lincoln I am born and raised in the North; I have no moonlight-and-magnolias Lincoln and Race sentimental attachment to the ante-bellum South. I live in an urban Thaddeus Stevens neighborhood, and I teach my child to judge the people around him by Sidelights on Christiana their deeds and character, not their pigment.

  • Old St. James Church Yard / by William F
    Old St, James Church Yard The old historic graveyard adjoining St. James' Church contains much that is of interest to the antiquarian, the historian and the epitapher. Dating from the year 1744, its history reads like a romance and goes back to the early days, when Lancaster was but a townstead, and the surrounding coun- try was covered with vast forests in which the dusky savage roamed at will. During the early period the settlement was visited by strolling missionaries, who ministered to the Churchmen living here. The Venerable Society for the Prop- agation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was the first missionary society organized in the Church of England after the Reformation. It was found- ed in 1701 for the purpose of carrying the Gospel, not only to the heathen in foreign lands, but also to those mem- bers of her communion who were without the regular ministrations of the Mother Church. One of the min- isters of this Venerable Society, the Reverend Robert Weyman, held ser- vices in the region now known as Lan- caster during the years 1717-1718. History has no record of the exact spot where the services were held. In the year 1728 the Reverend John Backhouse ministered to the people in this vicinity, according to the re- port which he sent to the S. P. G. Other services were conducted here from time to time during the years 1735, 1736, 1737,by the Reverend James Lindsay, another missionary sent out by the S. P. G. Thus it will be seen that those Churchmen living here had to be content with the occasional ser- vices afforded them from time to time, by the itinerant missionaries who strayed into the borough.

  • Three Philadelphians in the Bank War: a Neglected Chapter in American Lobbying
    THREE PHILADELPHIANS IN THE BANK WAR: A NEGLECTED CHAPTER IN AMERICAN LOBBYING BY JAMES L. CROUTHAMIEL* ONE of the most elaborate lobbies in the ante bellum United 0} States was the one employed by the Second Bank of the United States in its efforts to secure a renewal of its charter in 1832. Yet although observers from the Founding Fathers' to the present have noticed the inevitable presence of pressure groups and lobbies in the United States, students of lobbying in Amnerica have dealt almost exclusively with post-Civil War developments. mentioning only briefly the ante bellum period, and confining this mention to pressures in tariff-making. 2 A closer look at the lobby of the Second Bank, a neglected chapter in the history of lobbyingi, should be valuable for what it reveals of the techniques of political pressure during the Jacksonian era. It should also be useful for what it reveals of political morality in this earlier age. The practice of lobbying was defined by Congress in 1927 as "any effort in influencing the action of Congress. or interviewing or seeking to interview members of the House of Representatives or the Senate." Congress also defined a lobbyist as "one who shall engage, for pay, to attempt to influence legislation, or to prevent legislation, by the National Congress."" Lobbying, of course, has always been considered as an exercise of the right to petition, guaranteed by the First Amendment. Private interests working for private profit are necessarily included in this guarantee, and perhaps for this reason lobbying and pressure groups in the United *Dr.

    MG0096_F053_In02_It01_01 [Intelligencer Journal, 12 June 1978, page 1] 110th Anniversary Marked At James Buchanan’s Grave By Mary Beth Wagner Intelligencer Journal Staff How would you commemorate the 110th anniversary of the death of the 15th President of the United States, James Buchanan? The James Buchanan Foundation for the Preservation of Wheatland did it with a public promenade through Woodward Hill Cemetery, where Buchanan’s grave can be found. A small crowd gathered on Sunday afternoon for the promenade, led by John Francis Marion, prominent historian, author, and publisher from Philadelphia. The promenade began at the entrance of the cemetery and then proceeded to Buchanan’s grave. Interesting Features Before reaching Buchanan’s grave, Marion made note of some interesting features of the cemetery, using research from his latest book, “Famous and Curious Cemeteries,” in which Woodward Hill Cemetery is included. And it’s surprising how many tombstones look the same until someone outlins some of their specifics. Many of the stones in the cemetery are very old and, due to the fact that the cemetery is dated to the 19th century, are characteristic of the styles of that era. Marion pointed out many Victorian type stones where the decoration above them was an urn draped with cloth hewn out of the stone. Almost always, the urn is partially draped. However, Marion showed a variation of this type in the cemetery which was completely draped. ‘Open-Book’ Motif According to Marion, the “cross and crown” was a popular motif during the 19th century. The “open-book” motif was also used often.
