Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Magazine, and Noted and Queries, Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America, 1863, Vol. 7 The publisher, in closing the seventh volume of the only Magazine exclusively devoted to History in the country, is happy to announce that in the new volume the subscribers will find the work increased in size, not' only by the addition of new pages, but also by giving some of the matter in smaller type. Occasional illustrations will also be given, chiefly of portraits of eminent American personages, or reproductions of old views, scenes, and the like, of historical interest. Articles of a high character and general value on American History, Biography, Genealogy, Bibliography, and Literature, will be given in the ensuing volume, embracing among others a series of articles by distinguished writers on American historians, giving biographical and critical sketches of the most illustrious from colonial times to Bancroft and Motley. The reports of Historical Societies will endeavor to keep the public thoroughly informed of all done by the many vigorous associations now in the country, and the departments of Notes and Queries be open to all for investigation of obscure points, the rescuing of curious facts, or any legitimate inquiry. Our present volume is one not without its value as a contribution to the history of America, giving many important papers read before Historical Societies, early and curious diaries, journals, and correspondence, with papers written expressly for our columns.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Magazine, and Notes and Queries Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America, 1858, Vol. 2 A few words may be expected from the Editor of this Magazine, by way of preface to the second volume, which the present number will complete. The removal of the seat of publication from Boston to New York, and the consequent change of editor, are the principal events affecting the work during the past year. The retirement of Mr. J. W. Dean, by whom the editorial duties had been performed in the most satisfactory manner, was very much regretted by all; but the Magazine has not ceased to enjoy the benefit of his good taste and extensive knowledge through the medium of occasional contributions to its pages. His successor, having yielded to the solicitation of the respected publisher to take the vacant place, could not hope to fill it so satisfactorily, without equal experience or fitness, and could only promise to do his best, with no other reward than the gratification of an old taste. At the same time, however, he has been influenced by a sincere desire to do every thing in his power to sustain an enterprise of so great interest to historical students and the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Magazine, and Notes and Queries, Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America, Vol. 2: Second Series; July, 1867 We close our volumes for 1867, with very much more pleasure than we closed that for 1866, since Falsehood, in one of its favorite fields of adventure, has found in our pages a greater obstacle than it has usually encountcred, and the Truth has been thereby more signally vindicated. Besides, we have, individually, one year less to labor, and are one year nearer our rest; and we are enabled to look forward with greater satisfaction to the day when the jeers of the ignorant and the shamelessness of the more intelligent, as they respectively cast the Truth from them and dally with Falsehood, shall no longer mock us in our struggle nor confirm, before our eyes, their own worldly success.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Magazine and Notes and Queries Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America, 1873, Vol. 2 The author of the following Lectures, Major David B. Douglass, was a native of Pompton, New Jersey, where he was born on the twenty-first of March, 1790. He was graduated at Yale-college, in 1813; entered the Army, as Second-lieutenant of Engineers; and was stationed at West Point. In the Summer of 1814, he was ordered to the Niagara frontier, and arrived just in time to take part, as a volunteer, in the Battle of Niagara. In the subsequent defence of Fort Erie, in August and September, he distinguished himself, and was, at once, promoted to a First-lieutenancy, with the brevet rank of Captain. He was ordered to West Point, on the first of January, 1815, and made Assistant-professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy. In 1819, he acted, during the Summer recess, as Astronomical Surveyor of the Boundary Commission, from Niagara to Detroit; and, in the Summer of 1820, he accompanied Governor Cass, in a similar capacity, to the Northwest. In August, of the same year, while on this duty, he was promoted to the professorship of Mathematics, in the Military Academy, at West Point, vacant by the death of his father-in-law, Professor Andrew Ellicott, with the rank of Major in the Army. In 1823, he was transferred, at his own desire, to the Professorship of Civil and Military Engineering. The science of Engineering was then new, in this country; and few great works had been executed. He devoted himself to it, with unsparing energy, and soon acquired a wide reputation. Many advantageous offers were made him; but he chose to remain at West Point. He was, however, employed by the State of Pennsylvania, during the Summer recesses, from 1826 to 1830, as a Consulting Engineer, and charged with the surveys of several of the more difficult parts, in its system of public works. In 1831, he resigned his professorship, and became Chief Engineer of the Morris Canal, residing in Brooklyn. In 1832, he was appointed Professor of Civil Architecture, in the new University of the City of New York, and prepared the designs for its building, opposite Washington-square. In June, 1833, he commenced his surveys for the great work of supplying the city of New York with water; and, in November, he submitted his first Report, demonstrating the feasibility of such a supply, and showing how to obtain it, from the Croton-river. He reviewed his surveys, in 1834, and prepared plans and estimates for the city authorities; and, the next Spring, it was determined, by a vote of the citizens, that the aqnednet should be built. Water Commissioners were appointed; and Major Douglass was, at once, elected Chief Engineer, and proceeded to lay out, minutely, the line of the Acqueduct, and to complete his plans. He had accomplished bis preliminary work when he was superseded. In 1839, be planned and laid out Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. In 1840, he was elected President of Kenyon-college, Ohio, and removed to Gambier, in the Spring of 1841. He withdrew from this office, in 1844, and returned to the vicinity of New York. In 1845-6, he laid out the Cemetery, at Albany; and in 1847, he was employed in developing the landscape features of Staten Island. In 1848, he laid out the Protestant Cemetery, at Quebec; and, in the same year, he was elected Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, in Hobart-college, at Geneva, New York. He accepted the office, and entered upon its duties, in October; and, on the nineteenth of October, 1849, he died. These Lectures were prepared with great care and first delivered, in 1840, before the Mercantile Library Association of New York. In the Winter of 1845, after a rigid revision, they were repeated before the Young Men's Association, at Albany; and, afterwards, at the request of "numerous members of both branches of the L

The attempt to overthrow the American government, and the energy and devotedness called forth by the patriotic feeling of the people to uphold it, form a spectacle almost without a par allel. It has not been Within the scope of the Magazine to chronicle the history fast making around us: its province is the past. It is rather a Retrospective Review than a journal of current events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Magazine and Notes and Queries, 1868, Vol. 4: Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America A religious establishment is, from its very nature, conservative. It has nothing to gain by agitation or revolution, but much to risk. Its necessary attitude toward new and earnest outbreaks of popular religious feeling, is one of hostility. This was the case in a marked man ner, with the established order in Connecticut, when that tide Of religious revival, which for more than a century has been associated with the names of Edwards and Whitfield, rolled over New England. At first, indeed, the great trans-atlantic Apostle received acautious and guarded welcome. But his own zeal and im prudence, to say nothing of the course pursued by his followers and admirers - Tennent, Daven port, Allen, Croswell and others - provoked crit icism, then suspicion and at length denuncia tion. Ministers saw their congregations thinned by the loss Of those who admired and followed the Revivalists, and who were almost immedi ately designated as Separatists. The Legisla ture sympathized with the clergy, and resolved to check the threatening evil. That evil had already become serious. New congregations were formed in many places, and others were in progress of being gathered. Some Of the more warm-hearted and zealous of the clergy favored them; while others Opposed them. President Clap, at the head of Yale College, belonged to the latter class. SO also did many Of the most prominent clergy and civilians of the State. The strength Of this antagonism Of feeling is reflected in many historic incidents Of the time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
