Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1913, Vol. 37 The original manuscript of the journal of James Kenny, kept by him on his journey to Pittsburgh, and notes or remarks of what he judged worth taking notice of while he remained there, is preserved in the Mann script Division of the Historical Society of Pennsyl vania. He had charge of the trading store established by the Commissioners of Indian Afiairs, of the Prov ince, and his records of local, military and Indian af fairs are valuable and of interest for their details. He describes the great freshet, which did so much damage to the new town; William Ramsay's experiments with a double section batteau, propelled by paddles worked by the feet; he accompanied John Bartram on his botanical excursions; his friendship with Christian Frederick Post, the Moravian missionary to the In dians, and the movements of the Indian kings of Penn sylvania and Ohio tribes of Indians, will be found of especial interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 28 Rolling Mill at Manchester, in Allegheny County, to make iron rails. Connected with this mill were two coke furnaces, built in 1863. The company operated the works until Sep tember, 186 7, when they were leased by Springer Harbaugh. On January 1, 1870, Harbaugh, Mathias Owens took pos session as owners, and on August 1, 1874, they failed, when the manufacture of rails was abandoned. The works them selves have long been abandoned A few other iron-rail mills in Western Pennsylvania, including those which were equipped for the manufacture only of mine rails and other light rails, need not be mentioned. Of these mills those which made rails of heavy sections never at any time pro duced any considerable tonnage. It is a noteworthy fact that Allegheny County, with all its enterprise in the manufacture of iron and steel, did not begin to make rails of heavy sec tions until the Superior Rolling Mill was built in 1865. Iron rails are not now made in Western Pennsylvania, except occasionally a very few tons of light rails for lum ber and mine roads.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Notes of Dr. Benjamin Rush, 1777 Mr. John Adams said, that he lately travelled thro' New Eng that he was sure that the approbation of the Con gress of the meeting would give pleasure to the committee and their constituents. That thier meeting was founded in necessity. That altho' we were not confederated, the same principles of equity reason should govern as if we were united by a confederacy - that the four New England states bore the same relation to the Congress that four counties bore to a single state. These four counties have a right to meet to regulate roads - and affairs that relate to the poor but they have no right to tax or execute any other branch of legislation. In like manner the four New Eng States, or any other four states have a right to meet upon matters Wholly indifferent, but they have no right to touch upon continental subjects - that the committee from the 4 New Eng States have touched upon continental Subjects, therefore, the meeting stands in need of the approbation of the Congress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1889, Vol. 13 I declined your appointment as historian of the bar and bench of Allegheny County. I found that the admissions to this bar in 1863 had been six hundred and fifty. The correspondence and labor of collecting information and the compilation of even a partial number of sketches would ex tend over many months, resulting in a large book instead of a modest pamphlet appropriate to this occasion. I there fore undertook to furnish a few sketches only of promi nent lawyers of the last century and earlier years of this. Brief as these must be, they occupy a large space. But too much cannot be sacrificed to brevity. It would be to omit much that is interesting, and leave virtues, peculiarities, and true character often obscure.
