  • Bostonians and Their Neighbors As Pack Rats
    Bostonians and Their Neighbors as Pack Rats Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/24/2/141/2744123/aarc_24_2_t041107403161g77.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 By L. H. BUTTERFIELD* Massachusetts Historical Society HE two-legged pack rat has been a common species in Boston and its neighborhood since the seventeenth century. Thanks Tto his activity the archival and manuscript resources concen- trated in the Boston area, if we extend it slightly north to include Salem and slightly west to include Worcester, are so rich and diverse as to be almost beyond the dreams of avarice. Not quite, of course, because Boston institutions and the super—pack rats who direct them are still eager to add to their resources of this kind, and constantly do. The admirable and long-awaited Guide to Archives and Manu- scripts in the United States, compiled by the National Historical Publications Commission and now in press, contains entries for be- tween 50 and 60 institutions holding archival and manuscript ma- terials in the Greater Boston area, with the immense complex of the Harvard University libraries in Cambridge counting only as one.1 The merest skimming of these entries indicates that all the activities of man may be studied from abundant accumulations of written records held by these institutions, some of them vast, some small, some general in their scope, others highly specialized. Among the fields in which there are distinguished holdings—one may say that specialists will neglect them only at their peril—are, first of all, American history and American literature, most of the sciences and the history of science, law and medicine, theology and church his- tory, the fine arts, finance and industry, maritime life, education, and reform.

    i m a BULLETIN OF THE ESSEX IlsTSTITUTE]. Vol. 18. Salem: Jan., Feb., Mar., 1886. Kos. 1-3. MR. TOPPAN'S NEW PROCESS FOR SCOURING WOOL. JOHN RITCHIE, JR. Read before the Essex Institute, March 15, 1886, Ladies and Gentlemen^ — Two years ago, almost to a day, I had the pleasure of discussing before you what was at that time a new process of bleaching cotton and cotton fabrics, — process which, since that day, has been developed with steadily increasing value by a company doing business under Mr. Top- pan's inventions. This evening [March 15] I desire your attention to a consideration of the effects of the same solvent principle upon that other great textile material, wool. The lecture of two years ago was illustrated by the pro- cesses themselves, practically performed before your eyes. It is our intention this evening to follow out the same plan and to illustrate and, so far as may be, prove by experiment the statements which shall be made. It is our intention to scour upon the platform various speci- mens of wool, and as well, to dye before you such colors as can be fixed within a time which shall not demand, upon your part, too much of that virtue, patient waiting. Mr. Toppan, who needs no introduction to this audience, will undertake, later in the evening, the scouring of wool, and Mr. Frank Sherry, of Franklin, has kindly offered to assist in the work of dyeing. To those of you who are not familiar with the authorities in this country, in the work of dyeing, I need only say, that Mr.

Richard, Jr. entered Harvard College in 1831, but he left in 1834 and went to sea. His experiences became the subject of his book Two Years Before the Mast , published in 1840. Dana re-entered Harvard in 1836, and graduated in 1837. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1840. His book The Seaman's Friend (1841) was a manual of general and legal advice for sailors. In 1841 Dana married Sarah Watson (1814-1907) of Hartford Conn. and they had six children. Dana first entered into practice in 1842 with his brother "Ned," Edward Trowbridge Dana (1818-1869). In 1848, this partnership was dissolved and Dana next entered into partnership with Francis Edward Parker (1821-1886). The majority of Dana's cases involved maritime disputes, and Dana frequently represented seamen who had been mistreated or deprived of their wages. He handled a wide variety of other legal work, however, including cases involving insurance claims, divorces, and occasional criminal trials.

Reather teach him to know the world & when fortified with good education & good instruction & of an age to be ventured abroad you have don your part, and permit the rest to God’s gracious providence.

  • H. T. Weld Family History
    HENRY THOMAS WELD FAMILY HISTORY Including the Research of Guy Sinclair in Great Britain Written by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer Revised SEPTEMBER 2016 1 2 PREFACE This family history was written starting with the Last Will and Testament of Henry Thomas Weld, then the disposition of his estate, then the Last Will and Testament of his wife, Harriet Emily Weld, and what could be found about the disposition of her estate. Then census data was found and, with the help of Guy Sinclair of Great Britain, the table of family statistics was built. From there newspapers and other sources were culled to fill in the life and time of this couple. They had no children and so this branch of the family tree stops with their deaths. There is a lot of information provided as attachments which the casual reader is not expected to read. It is included for completeness; many of the references are obscure and thus, rather than tax the family devotees to reconstruct them, I have included them here. Mr. & Mrs. Weld wintered in Baltimore and had a summer residence in Mount Savage; he had coal mining interests as well as a canal boat building yard to run. Presumably he commuted to Cumberland. The inventory of Mr. Weld's estate shows they lived comfortably. The General Index to Deeds, Etc., Allegany County, Md. lists 79 deeds, starting from 1844 through 1894, under the family name Weld. Most of the deeds were in Henry’s name, a few in Harriet’s name and the balance in both their names.

[Various places in Colorado and California, as described below. ca. 1907-1913]. 406 photographs (395 silver prints, eleven cyanotypes) ranging in size from 2½ x 4 to 5 x 7 inches, one photo 9½ x 13 inches. All but six photos mounted in album. Oblong folio. Textured leather boards, secured by brads. Some chipping and wear to boards; minor fading and creasing to a few photos, but overall very well-preserved. Very good. A fascinating album documenting the early career of mining and civil engineer Howard C. Armington (1884-1966). The photographs in this album record several projects that Armington worked on early in his career, including electrification projects in Colorado, and mining, railroad, and dam construction in California. The photographs that Armington compiled in this extensive album provide out- standing evidence of projects that created an infrastructure allowing for increased migration westward, and increasing exploitation of western resources. The album begins with a photo of Armington as a student and member of the Crucible Club (precursor to the Beta Theta Pi fraternity) at the Colorado School of Mines (1906-07), there are then about 100 photographs highlighting his work with the Central Colorado Power Company (1908-09) building the Shoshone Hydroelectric Plant Complex.
