Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the History of the Old State House: Formerly Known as the Town House in Boston the Court House in Boston the Province Court House the State House and the City Hall The kind, I may say cordial, reception given to my former paper of Notes on the History of the Old State House has encouraged me again to take up the thread and follow out the subject. I broke off at that point in the history, when in November, 1776, the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts Bay met for the first time within these walls. No longer Colony or Province, but State! No longer awaiting any "accommodation" with royal authority, but then and thereafter one of the great Union of free and independent States of America - that body of States in union to whom thenceforward belonged the sovereignty which the King of Great Britain was obliged to relinquish. The change of name was significant and it was not reached or established without " great searchings of heart," even in Massachusetts, where rebellion is said to have been at a premium at a very early date. As we review the history of this venerated structure, we cannot fail to recall those men of old whose names are identified with its ancient glories. "There were giants in those days." I am not aware that its doors were ever darkened by Kings or Princes of the earth - excepting when the chiefs of native tribes of Indians may have stood here as delegates of their people or as prisoners and hostages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prytaneum Bostoniense: Notes on the History of the Old State House Formerly Known as the Town House in Boston the Court House in Boston the Province Court House the State House and the City Hall I have not discovered how long Dudley kept the Queen's portrait at his own house in Roxbury - but it was placed in the Town House where it belonged before the fire in 171 I in which that house was destroyed. The Royal Picture Gallery thus seems to have had its origin in the time of Queen Anne. Chalmers states that Queen Anne gave her portrait to every colony; and more than intimates a degree of churlishness in Massachusetts on its reception there. A trivial fact throws additional light on the temper of that assembly: [1706 - 7] they refused to address the queen, in return for her portrait, wherewith She had honored every colony, though the compliment, demanded by the civility of a woman, far less the respect due to the condescension Of their sovereign, had impugned no privilege, had imposed no duty, had enforced no act of Parliament.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFATORY NOTE. This pamphlet is a second issue of the third Appendix to my second paper on the Old State House, from which it is reprinted with some additions. It is intended chiefly for gratuitous distribution to the members of the Bostonian Society and the City Council of Boston. In the latest edition of Mr. Whitmore's Old State House Memorial, he charged me with having assailed the City Council in my first paper by "offensive" criticisms, which he characterized as "an unworthy return for their great liberality." Being promptly called upon to point out the offensive criticisms, he was unable to do so. The only important criticism which he has ever quoted was in these words of my first paper- "No such division of the space on the second floor, as the present, existed at any time during the official use of the building by the Legislature, Colonial, Provincial, Revolutionary, or State." The chief purpose of the appendix now reprinted was to demonstrate the truth of this statement. I think that purpose was accomplished; and that nothing yet produced by Mr. Whitmore has shaken it in the least. For the rest, when he points out anything I have written on this or any other subject, which can be justly characterized in such terms as he has seen fit to use, it may be my duty to pay further attention to him and his complaints. I do not think that any other member of the City Council has discovered or been rendered unhappy by what he calls my " attacks" on them or the Old State House; and the estimate placed upon my papers by our associates in the Bostonian Society, has been shown very conclusively to me; in the first place, by their cordial reception of them when read, and again, by their large orders of printed copies for distribution. It is hardly necessary for me to add that I entertain a very grateful sense of their kindness and liberality, which has not been disturbed in the least by the unanimous disapprobation of Mr. Whitmore....

Download or read book A Pictorial History of Arkansas s Old State House written by Mary L. Kwas and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arkansas's Old State House, arguably the most famous building in the state, was conceived during the territorial period and has served through statehood. A History of Arkansas's Old State House traces the history of the architecture and purposes of the remarkable building. The history begins with Gov. John Pope's ideas for a symbolic state house for Arkansas and continues through the construction years and an expansion in 1885. After years of deterioration, the building was abandoned by the state government, and the Old State House then became a medical school and office building. Kwas traces the subsequent fight for the building's preservation on to its use today as a popular museum of Arkansas history and culture. Brief biographies of secretaries of state, preservationists, caretakers, and others are included, and the book is generously illustrated with early and seldom-seen photographs, drawings, and memorabilia.
