Excerpt: ... of this Government that is the Charter Government of Pennsylvania. "You are directed to make Report of your Proceedings to this House. "Signed by order of the House: "November 9, i775. JOHN MORTON, Speaker." Thus the delegates of Pennsylvania in the Second Continental Congress were bound by those instructions of the Assembly of the Province--which were much more explicitly and positively expressed against independence than the instructions given to the delegates to the First Continental Congress20--not to vote for independence of Great Britain. On the 28th of November the Assembly of New Jersey likewise bound the delegates of that colony to resist any attempt to bring on independence.21 The instructions to the New Jersey delegates were as follows: "i. Resolved, That reports of Independency, 20 Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the Province of Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, 1776, volume VI, page 587. 21 Minutes of the Provincial Congress and the Council of Safety of the State of New Jersey, Trenton, 1879, page 300. in the apprehension of this House, are groundless. "2. Resolved, That it be recommended to the Delegates of the Colony to use their utmost endeavours for the obtaining a redress of American grievances and for restoring the union between the Colonies and Great Britain, upon constitutional principles. "3. Resolved, That the said Delegates be directed not to give their assent to, but utterly to reject any proposition, if such should be made that they may separate this Colony from the Mother Country, or change the form of Government thereof." On the i4th of December the Provincial Congress of New York said that the people of New York were still loyal to the Crown and the state of unrest and turmoil in New York...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Willing Letters and Papers: Edited With a Biographical Essay of Thomas Willing of Philadelphia, 1731-1821 There is only one thing in the career of Thomas Willing of which, as one of his descendants, I am not proud. That is that his firm sold slaves. Of course it was in accord with the custom of the times; everyone did it in the colonial period. With this exception, however, the descendants of Thomas Willing can look upon his whole career with great pride. In this connection I take a personal pleas ure in the fact that my paternal grandfather manumitted his slaves in Frederick County, Mary land, in the late twenties and the early thirties of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book When the United States Spoke French written by Francois Furstenberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1789, as the French Revolution shook Europe to the core, the new United States was struggling for survival in the face of financial insolvency and bitter political and regional divisions. When the United States Spoke French explores the republic’s formative years from the viewpoint of a distinguished circle of five Frenchmen taking refuge in America. When the French Revolution broke out, these men had been among its leaders. They were liberal aristocrats and ardent Anglophiles, convinced of the superiority of the British system of monarchy and constitution. They also idealized the new American republic, which seemed to them an embodiment of the Enlightenment ideals they celebrated. But soon the Revolutionary movement got ahead of them, and they found themselves chased across the Atlantic. François Furstenberg follows these five men—Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, Napoleon’s future foreign minister; theoristreformer Rochefoucauld, the duc de Liancourt; Louis-Marie Vicomte de Noailles; Moreau de Saint-Méry; and Constantin-François Chasseboeuf, Comte Volney—as they left their homes and families in France, crossed the Atlantic, and landed in Philadelphia—then America’s capital, its principal port, and by far its most cosmopolitan city and the home of the wealthiest merchants and financiers. The book vividly reconstructs their American adventures, following along as they integrated themselves into the city and its elite social networks, began speculating on backcountry lands, and eventually became enmeshed in Franco-American diplomacy. Through their stories, we see some of the most famous events of early American history in a new light, from the diplomatic struggles of the 1790s to the Haitian Revolution to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. By the end of this period, the United States was on its way to becoming a major global power. Through this small circle of men, we find new ways to understand the connections between U.S. and world history, and gain fresh insight into American history’s most critical era. Beautifully written and brilliantly argued, When the United States Spoke French offers a fresh perspective on the tumultuous years of the young nation, when the first great republican experiments were put to the test. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash Broadway musical Hamilton has sparked new interest in the Revolutionary War and the Founding Fathers. In addition to Alexander Hamilton, the production also features George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Aaron Burr, Lafayette, and many more.

Download or read book Essay on the Geography of Plants written by Alexander von Humboldt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) looms large over the natural sciences. His 1799–1804 research expedition to Central and South America with botanist Aimé Bonpland set the course for the great scientific surveys of the nineteenth century, and inspired such essayists and artists as Emerson, Goethe, Thoreau, Poe, and Church. The chronicles of the expedition were published in Paris after Humboldt’s return, and first among them was the 1807 “Essay on the Geography of Plants.” Among the most cited writings in natural history, after the works of Darwin and Wallace, this work appears here for the first time in a complete English-language translation. Covering far more than its title implies, it represents the first articulation of an integrative “science of the earth, ” encompassing most of today’s environmental sciences. Ecologist Stephen T. Jackson introduces the treatise and explains its enduring significance two centuries after its publication.
