Book excerpt: Excerpt from Semi-Centennial of the Litchfield Historical and Antiquarian Society The Litchfield Historical and Antiquarian Society is the successor of a Society of earlier date. The original Society was the result of a meeting held in the old Mansion House, which stood where Phelps Block now stands. This, meeting, held January 4,1856, was called by a circular signed by several citizens of Litchfield and addressed to the different towns in the county. As the result of this meeting people came together on the thirtieth of January and organized the "Litchfield County Historical and Antiquarian Society." Occasional meetings were held for a few years and officers were elected, and then came a long period in which no meetings were held. The last meeting was held on the twenty-first of September, 1892, and a vote was then passed making over to any local Society, when established, the exhibits and property which the original Society had acquired. On the third of August, 1893, a meeting was held in the Town Hall at which the present Society was organized. For a number of years the property inherited from the County Society, and that which the Society acquired, was housed in the building on South Street formerly used as a store by Mr. Silas N. Bronson. It was felt that this was a very unsafe place for keeping valuable relics. It was therefore a great relief when, through the generosity of Mr. John Arcut Vanderpoel, a room in the new fireproof Noyes Memorial Building, erected by him in pious memory of his grandmother, Mrs. William Curtis Noyes, was offered for our use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early decades of the eighteenth century, European, and especially British, thinkers were preoccupied with questions of taste. Whether Americans believed that taste was innate—and therefore a marker of breeding and station—or acquired—and thus the product of application and study—all could appreciate that taste was grounded in, demonstrated through, and confirmed by reading, writing, and looking. It was widely believed that shared aesthetic sensibilities connected like-minded individuals and that shared affinities advanced the public good and held great promise for the American republic. Exploring the intersection of the early republic's material, visual, literary, and political cultures, Catherine E. Kelly demonstrates how American thinkers acknowledged the similarities between aesthetics and politics in order to wrestle with questions about power and authority. Judgments about art, architecture, literature, poetry, and the theater became an arena for considering political issues ranging from government structures and legislative representation to qualifications for citizenship and the meaning of liberty itself. Additionally, if taste prompted political debate, it also encouraged affinity grounded in a shared national identity. In the years following independence, ordinary women and men reassured themselves that taste revealed larger truths about an individual's character and potential for republican citizenship. Did an early national vocabulary of taste, then, with its privileged visuality, register beyond the debates over the ratification of the Constitution? Did it truly extend beyond political and politicized discourse to inform the imaginative structures and material forms of everyday life? Republic of Taste affirms that it did, although not in ways that anyone could have predicted at the conclusion of the American Revolution.
