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.

He exploited no theories, he defended no vagaries, he chased no rainbows, but reached his historical conclusions after cautious exami nation of the facts and a skilful and critical comparison of the most approved authorities. His views rested upon a basis which the majority of scholars would ac cept as sound and sane. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1905, Vol. 29 Until a decade and a half ago the fact that the same great scene, as had animated Trumbull's brush, had several years earlier inspired another painter, had been so entirely lost sight of as to have been virtually unknown, when, in a dark corner of the old Boston Museum, on Tremont Street, the writer discovered the painting of The Congress Voting Inde pendence, begun by Robert Edge Pine and finished by Edward Savage, now in the hall of the Historical Society of Penn sylvania. Upon comparing the Pine and Trumbull pictures there can be but little doubt that Trumbull received some thing more than mere suggestion, from Pine's earlier com position, for the arrangement of his later picture. Both pictures are remarkably well composed and while Trum bull's may have more stately dignity, Pine's is unquestionably the most realistic and natural. But in the very important feature of the architecture of the room in which the im mortal act was consummated, Trumbull did not follow Pine and that feature makes the Pine picture of far greater historical value and importance than that by Trumbull, as Pine reproduces the chamber as it was at the time the Declaration was adopted, for, as our story will show, it was unquestionably painted within its very walls. The history of the picture and of its painters is both interesting and important and deserves to be preserved and perpetuated for future students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 18 The Commodore and many other Gentlemen, who have made it their business to examine the River, say the channel is so narrow that not more than two ships can lye abreast in it. If this be a fact, as I have no reason to doubt, from the concurrent testimony of so many Gentlemen, it will be impossible for the enemy to bring a greater force up the river than there is to Oppose them. How they will be able under these circumstances to remove the Obstruction in the river, when they are constantly annoy'd and threaten'd with the fire rafts, is difficult for me to conceive. However it is proposed in aid to these, to add some fortifications upon the land, one at Billingsport, one at Red Bank, and one at Derby's Creek, the situation Of all which your Excellency had an opportunity to see. I will just examine how far they will add to the security Of the River, and what force it would take to give this aid, and then see wether the security on this side, will not diminish the land force to such a degree as to render the principal Object less secure than without them, not to say any thing about the expence and trouble attending their construction.
