Bowen, expressing thanks to the Society for the honor of his election as a corresponding mem- ber. A letter was also read announcing the formation at Warren of a Massasoit Monument Association.

Cole of Providence, and Mr. Henry Whitman Greene of Warwick. Rev. E. B. Andrews, in behalf of the publication committee, read a report in regard to the advisability of the Society's issuing a quarterly publication. By recommendation of this report it was finally Resolved, That the publication committee is hereby instructed to pub- lish the quarterly proceedings of the Rhode Island Historical Society for the year 1893, at a total cost not to exceed $500 (five hundred dollars), the first number of which shall consist of the usual annual transactions, the other three numbers to consist of such matter as they may select; a pros- pectus in the first number to set forth the purpose of the Society in under- taking this publication, and soliciting subscriptions at one dollar per an- num, or fifty cents per number. A copy of No. i shall be delivered to each member of the Society, and 300 copies of each number issued during the year shall be set aside for exchange with, or as gifts to, other societies or public institutions. On motion of Dr. Andrews, Prof. W. H. Munro was elected assistant editor. Ex.-Gov. Taft, in behalf of the committee on grounds and buildings, submitted plans and an estimate of the PROCEEDINGS. 9 cost for renovating the old part of the Cabinet, together with certain other needed changes. After much dis- cussion this committee was authorized to make the proposed improvements and draw on the treasury to the amount of $1000 (one thousand dollars). A com- mittee consisting of Messrs. Charles H. Smith, James Burdick and the secretary, was also appointed to raise the funds necessary for this object. At a meeting held April i8th. Rev. Dr. Woodbury read a paper entitled: "Journalism and Journalists," receiving the thanks of the Society for his scholarly essay. The second quarterly meeting of the Society was held July 3d. Reports were read from the secretary and the librarian. Mention was made of gifts to the Society, notably an admirable portrait of the late Edward R. Young, presented by the sons of Mr. Young, and the " History of the Centennial of the Inauguration of Washington," presented by Mr. Bowen. In response to a call for unfinished business, Prof. Wilfred H. Munro brought forward a proposed change of Sections 12, 16 and 20 of the by-laws of the Society, notice of which change was duly given at the annual meeting, Jan. 10, 1893. The Sections as revised read as follows: Sec. 12. The officers shall be chosen at the annual meeting in each year, and shall serve until the next annual meeting, and until others shall be chosen in their places ; but in case the Society fails to elect at the annual meeting, it may do so at any other regular meeting, and it may fill any vacancy in any office at any regular meeting. When an officer receives a salary the amount of the salary shall be determined by the Society. 10 RHODE ISLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Sec. i6.

    History of Granville

    THE HISTORY OF GRANVILLE LICKING COUNTY, OHIO WRITTEN RY REV. HENRY BUSHNELL, A. M. PUBLISHED IlY A COMPANY FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE COLUMBUS, 0. PKESS OF HANN ~ ADArn 188!.J PREF.A.Cl~. THIS History of Granville was undertaken nine years ago at the suggestion of one of Granville's absent sons. In gathering materials, the fact catne to light that Mr. Charles W. Bryant \\ras engaged in similar work. Each was urged by the other to 1nake comtnon stock of what had _already been obtained and go on with the work. It was finally arranged that Mr. Bryant would take the genealogies and family histories, and the subscriber the annals; the ,vhole to be cotnbined for publication. The annals were ready in 1880, closing with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary. But the other part called for large correspondence and delay. In 1885, l\ir. Bryant died; no part of his work, so far as can be found, being ready for the press. There was so much call for the annals that a con1pany was formed to publish the1n. The record has been brought down to the present ti111e in an added chapter. It was thought best to leave the pages already written, unchanged. Hence all references to the present, nan1es of streets (since changed), etc., remain as in 1880. In the course of the annals the orthography of sotne nan1es will be found to change, but this confor1ns to the usage of the families, and need not lead to any 1nistake. Sotne incidents recorded tnay to sotne appear trifling, but they have been preserved, r!ot ahvays for their intrinsic value, but because they might hint to the memory a picture of the olden times, or a,vaken pleasant recollections by • suggestion.

[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.

In searching for an explanation of the tragic dissolution, thoughtful ob- servers looked at the political and philosophical bases of the nation's structure. They found that the controversial ques- tion of the autonomy of the states and the concept of liberty that had evolved offered a partial answer to the question. They examined the economic order and realized that be- tween a commercial-industrial section and one that was pre- dominantly agricultural there was basis for conflict. They looked into the structure of society in the two sections and concluded that there were inherent conflicts between that committed to the view that universal freedom was the proper foundation for improving the social order and the other that insisted that its half-free, half-slave society needed only to be left alone. continued to Questions of how and why the war came have baffle the minds of men in the generations since 1861. A notable lack of agreement, except on the point of the almost accumulation of hopeless complexity, and the remarkable have been details regarding the course of events prior to 1861 the most impressive results.

It is appropriate, therefore, to let Dr. Boyce set the tone of this preface. The Civil War had driven the Seminary from its original home in Greenville, South Carolina, to Louisville, Kentucky. On the occasion of the opening session in this new home, September 1, 1877, Dr. Boyce looked back over the first eighteen years of sig­ nificant struggle and said: I do not propose to recount the history of this enterprise. That history, so far as it ever can be written, must await the full fruition of all our hopes, and should come from one less intimately asso­ ciated with it than I have been. It never can be written in full; it never ought to be thus written. It is only God's inspiration which dares speak of evils and faults and injuries and calumnies proceeding from men whom we know to be good. That inspired Word alone can make these simply the shadows which bring out more gloriously the brightness of the character of the good.
