The most important communication, however, is Mr. Gay's letter of 6 March, 1902, in which he generously offered to bear the cost of transcribing the early Records of Harvard College and of printing so much as will make one volume of our Collections. For the portrait of Montcalm, which is now engraved for the first time from the fine original, the Society is indebted to its owner, Mr. Slade. The plate of Professor Winthrop was given by Mr. Edes; and the Plan which accompanies the Vose Journal was furnished by Mr. Cunningham. The Society is also indebted to Mr. Henry Parkman for per mission to engrave Stuart's portrait of Mr. Webster, painted immediately after the latter's removal from Portsmouth to Boston in 1816, which Jonathan Mason pronounced the most intellectual head of Webster ever painted. Most of the plates which illustrate this book have been engraved expressly for it by Mr. Elson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A People s Army written by Fred Anderson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A People's Army documents the many distinctions between British regulars and Massachusetts provincial troops during the Seven Years' War. Originally published by UNC Press in 1984, the book was the first investigation of colonial military life to give equal attention to official records and to the diaries and other writings of the common soldier. The provincials' own accounts of their experiences in the campaign amplify statistical profiles that define the men, both as civilians and as soldiers. These writings reveal in intimate detail their misadventures, the drudgery of soldiering, the imminence of death, and the providential world view that helped reconcile them to their condition and to the war.

Download or read book Learning to Read and Write in Colonial America written by E. Jennifer Monaghan and published by Studies in Print Culture and t. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experienced teacher of reading and writing and an award-winning historian, E. Jennifer Monaghan brings to vibrant life the process of learning to read and write in colonial America. Ranging throughout the colonies from New Hampshire to Georgia, she examines the instruction of girls and boys, Native Americans and enslaved Africans, the privileged and the poor, revealing the sometimes wrenching impact of literacy acquisition on the lives of learners. For the most part, religious motives underlay reading instruction in colonial America, while secular motives led to writing instruction. Monaghan illuminates the history of these activities through a series of deeply researched and readable case studies. An Anglican missionary battles mosquitoes and loneliness to teach the New York Mohawks to write in their own tongue. Puritan fathers model scriptural reading for their children as they struggle with bereavement. Boys in writing schools, preparing for careers in counting houses, wield their quill pens in the difficult task of mastering a "good hand." Benjamin Franklin learns how to compose essays with no teacher but himself. Young orphans in Georgia write precocious letters to their benefactor, George Whitefield, while schools in South Carolina teach enslaved black children to read but never to write. As she tells these stories, Monaghan clears new pathways in the analysis of colonial literacy. She pioneers in exploring the implications of the separation of reading and writing instruction, a topic that still resonates in today's classrooms. Monaghan argues that major improvements occurred in literacy instruction and acquisition after about 1750, visible in rising rates of signature literacy. Spelling books were widely adopted as they key text for teaching young children to read; prosperity, commercialism, and a parental urge for gentility aided writing instruction, benefiting girls in particular. And a gentler vision of childhood arose, portraying children as more malleable than sinful. It promoted and even commercialized a new kind of children's book designed to amuse instead of convert, laying the groundwork for the "reading revolution" of the new republic.
