The Inventory of the Mark and Llora Bortman and Foxcroft and Mayhew Family Papers #1612 The Inventory of the Mark and Llora Bortman and Foxcroft and Mayhew Family Papers #1612 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center Bortman Collection Sermons ("Thursday Lectures") 1635-1748 NOTE ON BOUND SERMONS:. These are small, handwritten chapbooks of varying length (most are between thirty to sixty pages) containing sermons delivered primarily between 1670 and 1748. Items believed to have been written by Rev. Thomas Foxcroft (1697-1769) are annotated by a"**." ALL ITEMS ARE FRAGILE. NOTE ON DATES: Dates without parenthesis give the "Historical Year;" dates within parenthesis give the "Legal Year," when given. Until 1752, two calendar systems were in use in England. The "Historical Year," corresponding with the calender system in use today, began on January I. The "Civil," or "Legal Year," began on March 25. Thus the "Civil" date 1658 March 24 corresponds with the "Historical" date March 24 1659. All dates in that portion of the year would have been recorded with the year as a fraction: for example, March 24, the last day of the English Legal Calendar, would have been written "March 24 1658/9, the top digit indicating the "Civil" year, the lower indicating the "Historical" year.

  • The Decline of Algonquian Tongues and the Challenge of Indian Identity in Southern New England
    Losing the Language: The Decline of Algonquian Tongues and the Challenge of Indian Identity in Southern New England DA YID J. SIL VERMAN Princeton University In the late nineteenth century, a botanist named Edward S. Burgess visited the Indian community of Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard to interview native elders about their memories and thus "to preserve such traditions in relation to their locality." Among many colorful stories he recorded, several were about august Indians who on rare, long -since passed occasions would whisper to one another in the Massachusett language, a tongue that younger people could not interpret. Most poignant were accounts about the last minister to use Massachusett in the Gay Head Baptist Church. "While he went on preaching in Indian," Burgess was told, "there were but few of them could know what he meant. Sometimes he would preach in English. Then if he wanted to say something that was not for all to hear, he would talk to them very solemnly in the Indian tongue, and they would cry and he would cry." That so few understood what the minister said was reason enough for the tears. "He was asked why he preached in the Indian language, and he replied: 'Why to keep up my nation.' " 1 Clearly New England natives felt the decline of their ancestral lan­ guages intensely, and yet Burgess never asked how they became solely English speakers. Nor have modem scholars addressed this problem at any length. Nevertheless, investigating the process and impact of Algonquian language loss is essential for a fuller understanding Indian life during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and even beyond.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

VOLUME 3, 1803-1818 Archives American Academy of Arts and Sciences 136 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 © 2011 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Updated: 15 April 2016 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ARCHIVES Series I-B-1: General records. Letterbooks. Bound letterbooks. Volume 3, 1803-1818 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Historical Note The Academy has received letters, announcements, and other forms of correspondence since the founding in 1780. All such correspondence was the responsibility of the Corresponding Secretary, one of the original officers of the Academy. Beginning sometime in the late 1800s, incoming letters were pasted into bound scrapbooks, which the Academy referred to as “letterbooks.” This practice continued until 1988, when staff began saving correspondence in folders. For the time period covered by Volume 3, the Presidents of the Academy were John Adams (1791-1814) and Edward Augustus Holyoke (1814-1820). The Corresponding Secretaries were John Quincy Adams (1802-1809) and Josiah Quincy (1809-1823). Scope and Content The series of letterbooks in its entirety includes letters from newly-elected Fellows, formally accepting their elections; communications with other learned societies (especially, invitations to attend meetings or send representatives to official events, and offers to exchange publications); correspondence concerning gifts of books, maps, and natural history specimens; and inquiries from members and non- members regarding the submission and publication of articles. Volume 3 contains letters and other documents received by the American Academy from 1803 to 1818. Most of this incoming correspondence pertains to the election of members and other administrative duties.

  • Andrew H. Hedges
    Andrew H. Hedges, “The Light Shall Begin to Break Forth,” in Prelude to the Restoration: From Apostasy to the Restored Church (Provo, UT and Salt Lake City: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University and Deseret Book, 2004), 99–114. “The Light Shall Begin to Break Forth” Protestant Missions to the Indians in Colonial America Andrew H. Hedges Andrew H. Hedges was an associate professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University when this was written. The restoration of the knowledge of the gospel to the Lamanites is a recurring prophecy in the Book of Mormon, occupying the attention of prophets from Lehi to Moroni and constituting one of the books central themes. Today, with thousands of missionaries preaching the gospel to the descendants of Book of Mormon peoples, and with several million of these descendants claiming membership in the Church, we can see how literally this prophecy is being fulfilled. It is important to remember, however, that Latter-day Saint efforts and successes in this regard have often built on the work of missionaries from other faiths who had previously introduced American Indians to Christianity through the Bible. That these earlier efforts to teach Lamanite remnants about Christ were neither accidental nor unimportant is demonstrated by the prophet Nephi, who, through vision and angelic tutoring, learned that the latter-day restoration of Book of Mormon peoples to the gospel would involve “the book of the Lamb of God”—the Bible—going forth “from the Gentiles unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren,” after which “other books” would go forth that would “establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb” (1 Nephi 13:38–40).

  • Economic History of the American Revolution?
    A (New) Economic History of the American Revolution? emma rothschild HEY were “merchants, lawyers, planters and preachers,” T Bernard Bailyn wrote of the individuals whose “ideas, be- liefs, fears and aspirations” are the subject of The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution.Theywere“heavilyen- gaged in their regular occupations”; they were individuals with economic lives.1 But their ideas and fears were not, for the most part, economic ideas, and Ideological Origins is—at first sight—an assertively uneconomic inquiry. Only at first sight. To look again, I would like to suggest, is to see that Ideological Origins can be the opportunity for a new sort of economic history of the American Revolution, or at least for a new history of economic life, in which life is taken to include ideas as well as interests. When Bailyn’s The New England Merchants in the Seventeenth Century was published in 1955, it was described in the Journal of Economic History as “good old-fashioned economic history”; an inquiry into “who the merchants were and how their interests and ideas grew,” with “provocative sidelights” on “politics and culture.”2 In Ideological Origins, after fifty years, there is the prospect of a new-fashioned economic history, of ideas, interests, and expectations. 1Bernard Bailyn, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, fiftieth an- niversary edition (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2017) v, xxi, xxiv, 13–14 (hereafter cited as Ideological Origins). 2Robert A.

CROOK PRINTER MUSIC HALL BOSTON >So^ 1 Biograpf)B BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION memorial is published by the family THISof Charles E. Wiggin, to show their love and respect for him who has left us. Itis designed for those who esteemed and appreciated one who was never happier than when engaged in some labor of love for his friends or for the unfortunate. Charles Edward Wiggin was born No­ vember 29, 1813, in a part of Newmarket, New Hampshire, then known as the New Fields, which has since been separated into a town called South Newmarket. He came to Boston August 31, 1828, when he was nearly fifteen years old. His first home after marriage (1840) was at 70 Prince Street; but after a few years he removed to the house on Sheafe Street, now numbered fifteen ;and there the family resided till the summer of 1876, when they removed to 9 Woodville Square, Roxbury, where Mr. Wiggin died. 6 He was the fifth of seven children, and was the last survivor of them all. There were two sisters: Deborah Barker, who married Daniel Rundlett Smith, of the same town ; and Ann Martin, who never married.

  • The Long-Ago Squadrons of Cambridge
    The Long-ago Squadrons of Cambridge Michael Kenney Cambridge Historical Commission January 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was triggered by noting a curious description of early land divisions in Cambridge — “squadrons” — while reading an early draft of Building Old Cambridge. Co-author Charles M. Sullivan suggested that I investigate the use of that term in colonial Massachusetts. The results of that investigation are presented in this paper. Thanks are due to Sullivan, and also to his British colleague Roger Thompson. Others who aided my research with their comments included Christopher J. Lenney and Brian Donahue whose contributions are noted in the text. The reconstructed map appears in Building Old Cambridge. Sara Kenney gave a careful reading and many helpful suggestions. “Squadrons” is a curious term that shows up in the early records of Cambridge and a number of other towns in Middlesex County and eastern Worcester County. Its curiousness comes from the fact that not only is it a term that had disappeared from use by the late 1700s and apparently appears nowhere else, but also that its origin is obscure. In Cambridge it was used in 1683, 1707 and 1724 to describe divisions of land. Recent research in other town histories finds that “squadron” was used either for that purpose or to describe what soon became known as school districts. In only three of the towns studied so far did it have the military significance which it has today, and which it had in England as early as 1562. Left unanswered is the question of why this term appeared in New England by 1636 (in Watertown) and had disappeared by 1794 (in Chelmsford) — and why it was apparently used only in Middlesex County and nearby Worcester County, as well as one very early use in New Haven, Connecticut.
