During the year an entire change has taken place in the Board of Trustees. Mr. E. P. Whipple declined a re-ap- pointment, he having been a member of the Board since Sept. 10, 1863. The Hon. George O. Shattuck and the Rev. J. M. Manning were re-appointed, but absence in Europe prevented their acceptance. They had been members of the Board since Nov. 22, 1865. To each of the retiring mem- bers the Commonwealth is indebted for valuable and unrec- ompensed service. John C. Ropes, Esq., succeeds Mr. Shattuck ; Arthur Lincoln, Esq., is the successor of Dr. Manning; and Edward Everett Hale, D.D., succeeds Mr. Whipple. SESSION LAWS AND ENGLISH REPORTS. The special appropriation has afforded the means for the addition of many scarce and valuable volumes which have been long needed to perfect our sets of laws and reports. Additions have been made during the year to the early session laws of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. Especial attention has been paid to the search for these laws, for the reason that the State Library contains the onty collection in this State, — by far the best collection in New England, and, with possibly one or two exceptions, the best in the country. The session laws of the Territory of New Mexico are among the rarest in the country, Chief Justice Prince having stated, in the preface to a recent compilation, that "there is prob- ably no civilized community in the world, governed by written statutes, where it was so impossible to obtain pos- session of a copy of the law." Eight years ago the Terri- torial Legislature memoralized Congress that they were unable to obtain a copy for use during its session; and in 1880 neither the Governor, Legislature, Chief Justice, United States Attorney, or any territorial official, except the Secre- tary, was in possession of the laws they were expected to administer. During the year the State Library has been fortunate enough to secure all but three sessions of these scarce laws. Over fifty volumes of English law-reports, needed to com- plete our series, have been added to the shelves during the year. Through the effort of Mr. Charles C. Soule, during a visit to London the past summer, the volumes needed to complete our set of the House of Lords Reports have been secured, but they did not reach the library in season to appear upon the catalogue of additions in this report. The House of Lords being the supreme court of appeal, the high- est judicial tribunal in the realm, it was thought important that it should be the first series completed. Time and gen- erous provision by the Legislature will be needed to make the sets of English reports in the library perfect. THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION. The annual appropriation for the purchase of books for the library, and for keeping them in proper repair, was fixed, in 1857, — nearly a quarter of a century ago, — at $2,300. The great increase of publications in all departments of lit- erature unquestionably demonstrates that an amount which may have been considered sufficient for the current needs of the library twenty-five years ago, is entirely too meagre and inadequate for the same purpose to-day. An addition of $1,000 to the annual appropriation would meet pressing needs, and enable the library to take advantage of opportu- nities that may offer to supply deficiencies without the neces- sity of asking for special appropriations. DONATIONS. The library has been enriched by the gift of a large num- ber of valuable pamphlets and volumes relating to genealogy, local history, and other topics of interest. It is very desir- able that the library should contain the contributions of the citizens of Massachusetts to the discussion of public affairs, or the local annals of their families and homes; and all con- tributions of this character are gladly received and carefully preserved. Among the additions by gift and exchange will be found a large number of titles that have been contrib- uted by historical societies and individuals from different States, most of which are of permanent value.

  • The Being of Analogy Noah Roderick Noah Roderick the Being of Analogy
    Noah Roderick The Being of Analogy Noah Roderick Noah Roderick The Being of Analogy The Being of Modern physics replaced the dualism of matter and form with a new distinction between matter and force. In this way form was marginalized, and with it the related notion of the object. Noah Roderick’s book is a refreshing effort to reverse the consequences of this now banal mainstream materialism. Ranging from physics through literature to linguistics, spanning philosophy from East to West, and weaving it all together in remarkably lucid prose, Roderick intro- duces a new concept of analogy that sheds unfamiliar light on such thinkers as Marx, Deleuze, Goodman, Sellars, and Foucault. More than a literary device, analogy teaches us something about being itself. OPEN HUMANITIES PRESS Cover design by Katherine Gillieson · Illustration by Tammy Lu The Being of Analogy New Metaphysics Series Editors: Graham Harman and Bruno Latour The world is due for a resurgence of original speculative metaphysics. The New Metaphys- ics series aims to provide a safe house for such thinking amidst the demoralizing caution and prudence of professional academic philosophy. We do not aim to bridge the analytic- continental divide, since we are equally impatient with nail-filing analytic critique and the continental reverence for dusty textual monuments. We favor instead the spirit of the intel- lectual gambler, and wish to discover and promote authors who meet this description. Like an emergent recording company, what we seek are traces of a new metaphysical ‘sound’ from any nation of the world. The editors are open to translations of neglected metaphysical classics, and will consider secondary works of especial force and daring.

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.

  • The British Surrender Their Armies to General Washington After Their Defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781
    Library of Congress Figure 1: The British surrender their Armies to General Washington after their defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781. 48 ARLINGTON 1-IISTORICA L MAGAZINE The Arlington House Engravings of the British Surrender at Yorktown: Too Often Overlooked? BY DEAN A. DEROSA In the morning room and in the second-floor hall ofArlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (the US National Park Service historical site on the grounds ofArlington National Cemetery), hang two framed engravings, entitled "The British Surrendering their Arms to Gen. Washington after their Defeat at Yorktown in Virginia, October 1781." The two art pieces, first published in 1819, are drawn by John Francis Renault and engraved by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co. The morning room engraving is in color, while the second floor engraving is inscribed in black ink (Figure 1). The caption at the base of the two engravings reads, "To the defenders of American independence, this print is most respectfully inscribed by their fellow citizen, Jn. Fcis. Renault, assistant secretary to the Count de Grass, and engineer to the French Army, at the siege of York." Thus, the twin engravings are drawn by a participant in the Siege of Yorktown, if not also a witness to the historic British surrender and subsequent surrender ceremony, which for all intents and purposes ended major hostilities during the American Revolution. The allegorical background of the engravings depicts not only the field upon which the British, Continental, and French armies stood during the sur­ render ceremony, but also a number of classical images and symbols of human discord, victory, and liberty, described in an 1804 prospectus apparently in reference to an early, circa 1810-1815 version of the Renault drawing (Figure 2) upon which the published engraving would eventually be based, that are largely lost upon us today.
