LETTEE  OF  TRAI^SMITTAL. 


American  Historical  Association, 

Office  of  the  Secretary, 

Washington,  D.  G.^  Octoher  8, 1910. 
Sir:  In  accordance  with  the  act  of  incorporation  of  the  American 
Historical  Association,  approved  January  4,  1889,  I  have  the  honor 
to  transmit  herewith  the  annual  report  of  the  association  for  the  year 
1909.  On  September  10,  1909,  the  association  completed  the  first 
25  years  of  its  existence,  and  in  its  annual  meeting  of  December  of 
the  same  year  it  celebrated  the  anniversary  of  its  foundation.  The 
proceedings  of  that  celebration  are  included  in  the  accompanying 
report.  The  officers  and  members  of  the  association  justly  feel 
that  its  record  during  the  quarter  century  that  has  elapsed  is  reason- 
able cause  for  congratulation.  So  closely  has  the  association  become 
identified  with  all  the  historical  interests  of  the  Nation  that  its  his- 
tory forms  one  of  the  most  important  chapters  in  the  history  of 
historical  work  and  studies  in  America.  Year  by  year  its  activities 
have  widened  in  scope  and  increased  in  importance.  During  the 
year  1909  a  committee  of  the  association  published  a  report  on  the 
teaching  of  history  in  the  elementary  schools,  while  another  com- 
mittee carried  on  a  revision  of  the  report  on  the  teaching  of  history 
in  the  secondary  schools,  which  was  first  published  over  10  years 
ago,  and  which  has  had  so  profound  an  influence  upon  that  branch 
of  education.  The  public  archives  commission  has  continued  its  use- 
ful and  important  work  in  making  known  the  contents  of  the  various 
State  archives,  and  in  December,  1909,  it  organized  a  conference  of 
American  archivists,  which  will  be  hereafter  held  annually  and 
which  will  undoubtedly  have  a  most  important  influence  upon  the 
development  of  archival  science  in  America.  The  association  has 
assumed  the  duty  of  presenting  annually  a  complete  bibliography  of 
the  year's  product  of  books  and  articles  relating  to  American  history, 
which  will  hereafter  form  a  constant  feature  of  its  annual  reports. 
A  committee  has  been  appointed  to  consider  the  advisability  of 
establishing  a  commission  on  historic  sites  and  monuments,  while 
another  committee  has,  in  conjunction  with  an  English  committee, 
been  actively  engaged  in  planning  a  bibliography  of  modern  Eng-

ORGANIZATION  AND  ACTIVITIES. 


Organization. — The  American  Historical  Association  was  organized' at  Sara- 
toga, N.  Y.,  on  September  10,  1884,  with  an  enrollment  of  40  members.  In 
1889  the  association  was  incorporated  by  act  of  Congress,  its  principal  office 
was  fixed  at  Washington,  and  it  was  required  to  make  an  annual  report  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution.  The  object  of  the  association  is  the 
"promotion  of  historical  studies,"  and  the  activities  of  the  association  have 
steadily  increased  in  number  and  widened  in  scope. 

Membership. — ^Any  person  approved  by  the  executive  council  may  become  a 
member  of  the  American  Historical  Association  by  paying  $3,  the  amount  of 
the  annual  dues.  On  payment  of  $50  any  person  may  become  a  life  member, 
exempt  from  dues.  Any  member  may  nominate  for  membership  such  persons 
as  he  or  she  believes  to  be  properly  qualified,  but  their  willingness  to  accept 
election  should  in  all  cases  be  ascertained  before  presenting  their  names. 
Nominations  should  be  made  to  the  secretary,  who  will  furnish  blanks  upon 
request.  Persons  desiring  to  join  the  association  may  make  application  to  the 
secretary  to  have  their  names  presented  to  the  council. 

Dues. — There  is  no  entrance  fee.  The  annual  dues  are  $3,  payable  on  Sep- 
tember 1  for  the  ensuing  fiscal  year.  The  publications  of  the  association  are 
not  sent  to  members  whose  dues  remain  unpaid  after  December  1. 

Pacific  coast  branch. — The  Pacific  coast  branch  was  established  in  1903  as  an 
integral  part  of  the  American  Historical  Association.  Those  members  of  the 
association  who  reside  west  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  may  be  members  of  the 
Pacific  coast  branch,  and  all  members  of  the  Pacific  coast  branch  are  members 
of  the  association.  The  members  of  the  Pacific  coast  branch  pay  their  annual 
dues  to  the  treasurer  of  the  association  and  receive  all  publications  that  are 
distributed.  The  Pacific  coast  branch  has  its  own  officers  and  committees  and 
holds  its  own  annual  meetings.  The  proceedings  of  these  meetings,  and  cer- 
tain papers  presented  at  them,  are  published  in  the  annual  reports  of  the  asso- 
ciation.   A  delegate  is  sent  to  attend  the  annual  meetings  of  the  association. 

Publications. — The  annual  report  of  the  American  Historical  Association  is 
published  by  authority  of  Congress,  and  contains  the  proceedings  and  pro- 
gram of  the  annual  meeting,  the  proceedings  of  the  Pacific  coast  branch, 
such  papers  read  at  the  meetings  as  are  selected  for  inclusion  by  the  committee 
on  publications,  together  with  other  material,  such  as  documents,  bibliographies, 
reports  of  commissions,  etc. 

The  Papers  of  the  American  Historical  Association,  its  earliest  publications, 
are  contained  in  five  volumes,  which  were  issued  from  1886  to  1891  and  then 
discontinued.  These  contain  the  reports  of  the  first  seven  annual  meetings 
(1884r-1890),  abstracts  and  texts  of  papers  read  at  the  meetings,  lists  of  mem- 
bers, and  a  certain  number  of  monographs. 

t  The  American  Historical  Review  is,  by  special  arrangement  with  the  board  of 
editors,  sent  to  all  members  in  good  standing.  It  is  published  quarterly,  on 
the  1st  of  October,  January,  April,  and  July,  eacli  number  being  made  up  of

ORGANIZATION  AND  ACTIVITIES.  21 

and  American  archives,  their  organization,  the  collection,  storage,  and  classi- 
fication of  material,  and  its  use  for  historical  purposes,  are  discussed  in  formal 
papers  and  informally  at  these  conferences. 

Historical  manuscripts  commission. — The  historical  manuscripts  commission 
was  established  in  1895.  It  has  engaged  itself  in  securing  information  respect- 
ing the  manuscript  sources  of  American  history  and  in  publishing  calendars  and 
texts.  Thus  it  has  printed,  in  the  annual  reports,  the  letters  of  John  O.  Cal- 
houn, the  letters  of  Salmon  P.  Chase,  the  correspondence  of  the  French  minis- 
ters to  the  United  States,  1791-1797,  and  the  diplomatic  archives  of  the  Republic 
of  Texas,  as  well  as  smaller  collections  of  documents.  The  commission  en- 
deavors to  stimulate  an  interest  in  the  proper  preservation  and  making  acces- 
sible of  manuscript  materials  and  has  prepared  a  leaflet  of  suggestions  for  the 
printing  of  documents  relating  to  American  history.  This  leaflet  may  be  ob- 
tained upon  application  to  the  secretary. 

Public  archives  commission. — The  public  archives  commission  was  established 
in  1899  for  the  purpose  of  examining  into  the  condition  and  character  of  the 
public  records  of  the  United  States,  of  the  several  States,  and  of  local  com- 
munities, with  a  view  to  obtaining  and  publishing  such  information  concerning 
them  as  will  make  the  records  more  generally  known  and  more  easily  available 
lor  students.  The  commission  has  been  instrumental  in  securing  legislation  for 
the  better  administration  of  the  public  records  in  many  States,  and  has  printed, 
in  the  annual  reports,  reports  of  varying  scope  on  the  archives  of  about  30 
States,  as  well  as  reports  on  the  records  of  certain  cities  and  counties,  together 
with  a  summary  of  state  legislation  relating  to  the  custody  and  supervision  of 
the  public  records,  and  a  bibliography  of  the  printed  public  archives  of  the  thir- 
teen original  States  to  1789. 

Committee  on  Mhliogra^hy. — The  committee  on  bibliography  considers  such 
bibliographical  projects  as  come  before  it,  and  has  caused  to  be  prepared  various 
bibliographies  which  have  been  printed  in  the  annual  reports.  Among  these 
have  been  a  bibliography  of  the  publications  of  American  historical  societies,  a 
list  of  the  public  documents  of  the  first  fourteen  Congresses,  notes  on  the  col- 
lections of  works  on  European  history  in  American  libraries,  bibliographies  of 
Alabama  and  of  Mississippi,  etc. 

Committee  on  a  MUiography  of  modern  English  history. — This  committee  was 
appointed  by  the  council  in  December,  1908,  at  the  request  of  the  conference  on 
English  history,  for  the  purpose  of  securing  the  preparation  of  a  bibliographical 
introduction  to  modern  English  history.  It  cooperates  with  an  English  com- 
mittee having  the  same  purpose. 


HISTORICAL  PRIZES. 


For  the  encouragement  of  historical  research  the  American  Historical  Asso- 
ciation offers  two  prizes,  each  of  $200 — the  Justin  Winsor  prize  in  American 
history  and  the  Herbert  Baxter  Adams  prize  in  European  history.  Each  is 
awarded  biennially  (the  Winsor  prize  in  the  even  years  and  the  Adams  prize 
in  the  odd  years)  for  the  best  unpublished  monograph  submitted  to  the  com- 
mittee of  awards  on  or  before  October  1  [hereafter  July  1]  of  the  given  year — 
e.  g.,  by  October  1,  1911,  for  the  Adams  prize  in  European  history,  and  by 
July  1,  1912,  for  the  Winsor  prize  in  American  history.  The  conditions  of 
award  are  as  follows : 

I.  The  prize  is  intended  for  writers  who  have  not  yet  published  any  con- 
siderable work  or  obtained  an  established  reputation. 

II.  A.  For  the  Justin  Winsor  prize. — The  monograph  must  be  based  upon 
independent  and  original  investigation  in  American  history,  by  which  is  meant 
the  history  of  any  of  the  British  colonies  in  America  to  1783,  of  other  terri- 
tories, continental  or  insular,  which  have  since  been  acquired  by  the  United 
States,  of  the  United  States,  and  of  independent  Latin  America.  It  may  deal 
with  any  aspect  of  that  history — social,  political,  constitutional,  religious,  eco- 
nomic, ethnological,  military,  or  biographical,  though  in  the  last  three  instances 
a  treatment  exclusively  ethnological,  military,  or  biographical  would  be  unfa- 
vorably received. 

B.  For  the  HeVbert  Baxter  Adams  prize. — The  monograph  must  be  based  upon 
independent  and  original  investigation  in  European  history,  by  which  is  meant 
the  history  of  Europe,  continental.  Insular,  or  colonial,  excluding  continental 
French  America  and  British  America  before  1783.  It  may  deal  with  any  aspect 
of  that  history — social,  political,  constitutional,  religious,  economic,  ethnolog- 
ical, military,  or  biographical,  though  In  the  last  three  instances  a  treatment 
exclusively  ethnological,  military,  or  biographical  would  be  unfavorably  received. 

HI.  The  monograph  must  present  subject  matter  of  more  than  personal  or 
local  interest,  and  must,  as  regards  its  conclusions,  be  a  distinct  contribution  to 
knowledge.  Its  statements  must  be  accurate,  and  the  author  in  his  treatment  of 
the  facts  collected  must  show  originality  and  power  of  interpretation. 

IV.  The  monograph  must  conform  to  the  accepted  canons  of  historical  re- 
search and  criticism. 

It  must  be  presented  in  scientific  form. 

It  must  contain  references  to  all  authorities. 

It  must  be  accompanied  by  a  critical  bibliography.  Should  the  bibliography 
be  omitted  or  should  it  consist  only  of  a  list  of  titles  without  critical  comments 
and  valuations,  the  monograph  will  not  be  admitted  to  the  competition. 

V.  The  monograph  should  not  exceed  100,000  words  in  length.  The  manu- 
script should  be  typewritten,  and  must  be  neat,  correct,  and  in  form  ready  for 
the  printer. 

VI.  In  addition  to  text,  footnotes,  and  bibliography,  the  monograph  must 
contain  nothing  except  the  name  and  address  of  the  author  and  a  short  intro- 
duction setting  forth  the  character  of  the  material  and  the  purpose  of  the

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE 
AMERICAN  HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION/  NEW  YORK  CITY,  DECEMBER 
27-31,  1909. 

By  Waldo  G.  Leland. 


The  American  Historical  Association  was  founded  at  Saratoga  in 
September,  1884,  and  had,  therefore,  in  December,  1909,  completed  a 
trifle  more  than  a  quarter  century  of  existence.^  The  American 
Economic  Association  was  founded  a  year  later  and  had  completed 
a  trifle  less  than  a  quarter  of  a  century.  An  anniversary  celebration 
was  felt  to  be  an  appropriate  exercise  for  both  associations,  in  which 
joined  the  host  of  younger  and  more  specialized  societies  Avhich  have 
grown  up  out  of  and  about  the  two  larger  associations.  Thus  there 
met  in  New  York  the  two  older  associations,  together  with  the  Ameri- 
can Political  Science  Association,  the  American  Sociological  Society, 
the  American  Association  for  Labor  Legislation,  the  American  Sta- 
tistical Association,  the  American  Social  Science  Association,  the 
American  Society  of  Church  History,  and  the  Bibliographical  So- 
ciety of  America;  an  agglomeration  which  rivaled  the  American 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science,  which  was  meeting  at 
the  same  time  in  Boston.  The  total  registration  of  all  the  societies 
in  attendance  at  the  New  York  meeting  was  about  1,100,  of  which 
565  should  be  credited  to  the  historical  association.  If  size  is  to  be 
taken  as  a  criterion  the  twenty-fifth  meeting  of  the  American  His- 
torical Association  was  nearly  twice  as  successful  as  the  most  success- 
ful preceding  meeting.  Contributing  to  this  success  in  no  small 
measure  was  the  long  list  of  foreign  names  figuring  upon  the  consoli- 
dated program.  Thus  there  were  the  Right  Hon.  James  Bryce ;  Henry 
Higgs,  of  the  Royal  Economic  Society;  Prof.  H.  A.  L.  Fisher,  of 
Oxford ;  Prof.  George  W.  Prothero,  of  London ;  Sir  Horace  Plunkett, 
of  Ireland ;  Camille  Enlart,  director  of  the  Musee  de  Sculpture  com- 
paree,  of  Paris;  Prof.  Eduard  Meyer,  of  the  University  of  Berlin;

TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNUAL  MEETING.  31 

In  the  evening  the  historical  association  met  in  the  new  building  of 
the  New  York  Historical  Society  to  listen  to  various  accounts  of  the 
work  of  foreign  historical  societies.  Prof.  Prothero  spoke  of  the 
work  of  English  societies/  Prof.  Meyer  of  that  of  the  German 
societies,  Monsieur  Enlart  of  the  French  societies,^  Dr.  Colenbrander 
of  the  Dutch  societies,^  and  Prof.  Altamira  of  those  of  Spain.*  A 
striking  difference  between  the  foreign  societies  and  those  of  America 
is  the  greater  part  played  by  the  national  Governments  in  their 
direction.  In  wealth  and  membership  the  American  societies  are 
perhaps  rather  better  off  than  those  of  Europe,  but  in  the  produc- 
tion of  useful  historical  material  systematically  planned  and  edited 
with  a  high  degree  of  scholarship  they  are  undoubtedly  far  behind. 
Following  this  session  was  a  smoker  at  the  City  Club. 

On  Wednesday  morning  there  was  a  joint  session  of  the  historical' 
and  political  science  associations  with  the  general  topic,  "  British 
constitutional  and  political  development  with  especial  reference  to 
the  centenary  of  Gladstone."  Prof.  Dennis  in  his  paper  on  "  Tenden- 
cies in  British  Foreign  Policy  since  Disraeli  "  ^  surveyed  the  advances 
within  30  years  which  have  been  made  in  the  problems  connected 
with  Egypt,  South  Africa,  and  Afghanistan  and  in  relations  with 
France,  Germany,  and  Eussia.  Prof.  Wrong,  of  Toronto,  followed 
with  a  paper  on  "  Canadian  Nationalism  and  the  Imperial  Tie."  ^ 
Mr.  Porritt's  paper  on  the  "  Paradoxes  of  Gladstone's  Popularity  "  ^ 
was  from  the  point  of  view  of  a  former  Parliamentary  reporter. 
Mr.  Fisher,  of  New  College,  Oxford,  spoke  of  the  South  African 
Union.  He  described  the  difficulties  in  the  way  of  such  a  union — 
difficulties  brought  about  by  the  fact  of  recent  war  and  by  differ- 
ences in  nationality,  language,  and  race ;  and  dwelt  upon  the  various 
compromises  of  the  constitution — ^the  dual  seat  of  government,  the 
suffrage,  and  official  use  of  two  languages.  The  final  paper  by  Mr. 
Bryce  dealt  with  "  Eecent  English  History  in  its  Constitutional 
Aspects,"  with  especial  reference  to  the  centenary  of  the  birth  of 
Gladstone.  Speaking  as  one  who  had  been  a  personal  friend  of  the 
English  statesman,  Mr.  Bryce  was  able  to  make  his  paper  of  unusual 
and  vital  interest.  He  spoke  of  Gladstone's  trust  of  the  people,  which 
was  the  basis  of  his  desire  to  extend  the  franchise,  and  of  his  large 
conception  of  the  Empire  and  of  England's  relation  to  her  colonies. 

Following  this  session  there  was  a  breakfast,  presided  over  by 
Prof.  Sloane.  The  speaking  which  followed  was  participated  in  by 
Prof.  Hart,  who  welcomed  the  foreign  delegates;  by  Mr.  Henry 
Higgs,  of  the  Royal  Economic  Society,  responding  on  behalf  of  these 
latter;  and  by  Prof.  Van  Dyke,  Prof.  Dewey,  and  President  Hadley.

writer  that  the  rewards  which  John  bestowed  on  those  who  violated 
the  interdict  and  the  punishments  he  inflicted  on  those  who  observed 
it  caused  a  considerable  amount  of  disobedience  among  the  clergy. 
The  second  paper,  by  the  Rev.  Edward  W.  Miller,  of  the  Auburn 
Theological  Seminary,  treated  of  the  origin  and  historical  importance 
of  the  mediaeval  trade  guilds  and  of  the  religious  character  and  fra- 
ternal spirit  of  the  craft  guilds.  These  had  their  patron  saints  and 
usually  one  or  more  chaplains,  and  performed  various  religious  or 
philanthropic  acts,  undertaking  important  charities  even  .outside 
the  circles  of  their  members.  Prof.  Sidney  B.  Fay,  of  Dartmouth, 
treating  of  the  "  Roman  Law  and  the  German  Peasant,"  ^  argued 
that  there  is  no  contemporary  evidence  for  the  commonly  accepted 
views  that  the  introduction  of  the  Roman  law  tended  to  depress  the 
German  peasant  of  Luther's  time  into  the  condition  of  a  Roman, 
slave,  that  there  was  a  popular  opposition  to  the  Roman  law,  or  that 
its  introduction  was  a  cause  of  the  Peasants'  Revolt  of  1525.  Mon- 
sieur Camille  Enlart  made  a  plea  for  the  study  in  America  of  the 
history  of  mediaeval  art,  tracing  the  development  of  that  study  in 
France  during  the  last  30  years.^  Prof.  A.  C.  Flowland,  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  illustrated  the  special  tendencies  of  the 
reform  movement  of  the  eleventh  century  in  southern  Germany — the 
fostering  of  an  active  intellectual  life  and  the  inculcation  of  prac- 
tical morality — from  the  life  of  Othloh,  a  monk  of  St.  Emmeram, 
in  Regensburg,  whose  writings  contain  much  autobiographical 
material. 

The  conference  on  American  history  dealt  with  the  westward^  move- 
ment. It  was  presided  over  by  Prof.  Paxson,  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  Papers  were  read  by  Prof.  Hodder  on  the  "Attitude 
of  Missouri  toward  Ihe  Compromise  of  1820,"  ^  by  Mrs.  Mathews  on 
"  The  Erie  Canal  and  the  Settlement  of  the  West,"  *  by  Prof.  Bretz  on 
"  Some  Aspects  of  Postal  Extension  into  the  West,"  ^  and  by  Prof. 
Meany  on  "Morton  Matthew  McCarver,  Frontier  City  Builder," « 
three  of  which  are  printed  in  full  in  the  present  volume. 

A  full  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the  conference  of  archivists  is 
contained  in  another  part  of  this  volume.''  The  importance  of  this 
conference  should  not  be  lost  sight  of.  It  marks  one  more  effort  on 
the  part  of  the  association  to  secure  practical  results,  which  should 
be  of  the  greatest  value  to  the  future  of  American  historical  studies.

TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  MEETING.  35 

a  review  of  current  events  in  a  given  country  based  on  the  clippings 
and  on  his  reading  in  works  of  reference  and  in  the  foreign  news- 
papers kept  in  the  laboratorj^  By  means  of  personal  consultations 
and  discussions  of  special  topics  the  course  becomes  an  organic  whole, 
the  historical  setting  of  European  problems  is  explained,  and  a  sound 
critical  habit  of  mind  in  newspaper  reading  is  inculcated.  An  inter- 
esting discussion  followed  the  reading  of  the  last  paper.  Upon  the 
question  being  raised  as  to  whether  such  a  course  interfered  with 
other  college  work,  Prof.  Eobinson  expressed  the  opinion  that  depart- 
ments of  history  had  always  been  too  modest  in  their  demands  for  a 
due  proportion  of  the  student's  time,  and  in  particular  too  modest  in 
their  demands  for  equipment.  Prof.  Ford  questioned  the  use  ot 
newspapers  as  a  primary  basis  for  the  study  of  modern  history,  and 
suggested  that  while  New  York  had  unusual  facilities  in  this  respect, 
it  was  possible  for  too  much  newspaper  reading  to  result  in  a  certain 
degeneracy  of  work.  As  to  the  trustworthiness  of  newspapers.  Prof. 
Robinson  thought  that,  as  compared  with  the  mediseval  annals,  the 
advantage  was  rather  with  the  former.  Prof.  Anderson,  speaking  of 
the  limits  of  a  course  in  modern  European  history,  said  that  he  had 
found  difficulty,  starting  with  1789,  in  bringing  the  course  down  to 
the  present.  He  was  planning,  therefore,  to  give  an  additional  course 
from  1878  to  date.  1427461 

The  conference  on  ethnic  elements  in  the  history  of  the  United 
States,  of  which  Prof.  Greene  was  chairman,  considered  the  Ger- 
man, Dutch,  and  Scandinavian  elements,  papers  being  read  by  Profs. 
Goebel  and  Faust,  Mr.  Dieserud,  and  Dr.  Colenbrander.  The  papers 
by  Prof.  Goebel  and  Dr.  Colenbrander,  together  with  one  by  Miss 
Putnam,  which  there  was  not  time  to  hear,  are  printed  in  the  present 
volume.^  President  Babcock  was  not  present  but  sent  his  paper, 
which  was  not  read  in  the  conference,  but  which  will  be  found  in  the 
American  Historical  Review.^ 

The  conference  of  historical  societies,  of  which  Prof.  Sioussat  was 
chairman,  considered  the  general  subject  of  publications.  A  full  re- 
port of  the  proceedings  of  the  conference  is  included  in  this  volume.^ 

A  conference  on  the  work  of  history  and  civics  clubs,  presided  over 
by  Mr.  Frank  B.  Kelley,  naturally  centered  about  the  work  of  the 
City  History  Club  of  New  York.  There  were  papers  by  Miss  M. 
Elizabeth  Crouse  on  the  "Aim  and  Methods  of  the  City  History 
Clubs,"  by  Mr.  A.  L.  Pugh  on  "A  Practical  Program  in  Municipal 
Civics  for  Clubs,"  and  by  Mr.  Howard  C.  Green  on  "Actual  Work 
Done  in  Civic  Clubs."

middle  Gulf  States,  on  the  other  hand,  negro  labor  has  constantly- 
been  the  main  reliance,  and  the  chief  change  in  industrial  conditions 
has  been  the  change  in  negro  status  from  slavery  to  freedom.  In 
these  latter  States  and  in  typical  black-belt  counties  in  each  of  them 
census  returns  of  the  two  main  products,  cotton  and  corn,  show  the  per 
capita  production  in  1900  to  have  been  at  least  40  per  cent  smaller  than 
that  in  1860.  How  far  are  these  indications  borne  out  by  other  tests, 
and  to  what  extent,  if  any,  can  the  change  be  attributed  •  to  the 
difference  in  the  status  of  labor?  In  studying  the  recent  South  cer- 
tain truisms  must  be  borne  in  mind.  The  post  bellum  conditions 
have  proceeded  directly  and  problems  have  been  inherited  from  the 
ante  bellum  regime.  The  people  involved  have  not  differed  in  any 
fundamental  way  from  the  general  run  of  people  of  similar  stocks, 
and  similar  circumstances  throughout  the  world.  The  Afro- Ameri- 
can population  is  too  varied  in  qualities  to  be  described  by  any  ex- 
pression which  will  exclude  all  other  peoples.  Coming  from  the 
most  diverse  African  races,  still  further  varied  by  intermixture 
with  white  blood,  it  is  necessary  in  studying  this  people  to  recognize 
at  once  its  diversity  as  well  as  the  degree  of  unity  which  it  possesses. 
Following  Prof.  Phillips,  Mr.  Warfield  expressed  the  opinion  that 
the  negro  problem  should  be  studied  from  an  attached  or  sympathetic 
point  of  view.  The  loss  of  so  many  men  in  the  South  had  been,  he 
held,  a  great  disadvantage  in  the  solution  of  its  problems.  Prof. 
Riley,  of  the  University  of  Mississippi,  spoke  more  especially -of  the 
necessity  of  a  new  point  of  view  in  studying  the  history  of  Recon- 
struction. These  studies  have  thus  far,  he  said,  been  conducted 
mainly  from  the  standpoint  of  the  state  government.  This  seemed 
to  him  a  mistake.  It  was  working  at  the  wrong  end  of  the  subject. 
The  most  pressing  and  important  need  at  this  time  is  a  thorough, 
discriminating,  and  impartial  treatment  of  the  local  history  of 
Reconstruction.  Prof.  Riley  then  described  the  work  of  investigat- 
ing local  conditions  and  history  that  was  being  done  by  advanced 
students  at  the  University  of  Mississippi. 

On  Friday  morning  two  conferences  were  held.  That  on  the  con- 
tribution of  the  Romance  nations  to  the  history  of  America  is  fully 
reported  in  another  part  of  this  volume.^  The  conference  on  history 
in  the  secondary  schools,  of  which  Miss  Salmon  was  chairman,  was 
a  joint  session  with  the  New  York  State  Teachers'  Association.^ 
A  paper  was  read  by  Miss  E.  S.  Da.vison,  of  Bradford  Academy,  on 
"  History  in  German  Secondary  Schools."  ^  She  visited  a  number 
of   schools   in   Munich,    Frankfort-on-the-Main,    and    Berlin.      She

TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNUAL  MEETING.  39 

mand  for  emphasis  on  modern  European  history  appears  to  be  very 
widespread.  The  subject  has  been  fully  discussed  by  the  committee, 
as  it  has  been  by  various  teachers'  associations  during  the  last  two  or 
three  years.  The  preliminary  report  suggested  that  the  courses  rec- 
ommended by  the  committee  of  seven  might  be  so  conducted  as  to 
provide  for  emphasis  on  the  latter  period,  or  there  might  be  an  estab- 
lishment of  new  courses  on  some  such  plan  as  this : 

First.  Ancient  history  to  800  A.  D. 

Second.  English  history,  with  its  Continental  relations,  to  1760, 
or  thereabouts. 

Third.  Modern  E  opean  history,  introduced  by  a  rapid  summary 
of  mediaeval  history    iid  conditions. 

Fourth.  American    dstory  and  government. 

The  report  of  the  committee  was  variously  discussed  by  Prof. 
James,  Prof.  Foster,  Prof.  Haskins,  Prof.  Sill,  Mr.  Howe,  Prof. 
Kobinson,  and  Mr.  Sullivan.  Miss  Salmon  closed  the  conference  by  a 
few  remarks,  expressing  the  hope  that  some  time  soon  teachers  could 
give  up  the  discussion  of  the  curriculum  and  devote  a  session  of  the 
association  to  a  consideration  of  methods,  to  a  discussion  of  how  his- 
tory should  be  taught. 

With  Friday  noon  the  formal  sessions  of  the  annual  meeting  came 
to  a  close. 

An  account  of  the  meeting  would  be  incomplete  without  some  men- 
tion of  the  various  exhibitions  which  had  been  prepared  b3^  Profs. 
Johnson  and  Shotwell  and  Librarian  Johnston,  of  Columbia.  "One  of 
these  was  a  collection  of  aids  to  the  visualization  of  history  ^  consist- 
ing of  lay  figures,  models,  casts,  utensils,  weapons,  coats  of  arms,  and 
other  objects  of  various  kinds,  as  well  as  pictures,  maps,  stereoscopic 
views,  lantern  slides,  etc.,  classified  as  bearing  on  ancient,  European, 
English,  and  American  history. 

The  other  exhibition  was  designed  to  represent  the  development  of 
historical  writing  and  was  undoubtedly  the  finest  collection  of  its  sort 
that  has  been  brought  together  in  America.^  Many  of  the  treasures 
on  exhibition  came  from  the  library  of  Mr.  J.  P.  Morgan,  who  gener- 
ously loaned  them  for  the  occasion.  From  three  baked  clay  tablets 
containing  Babylonian  temple  records  of  about  2700  B.  C.  to  pam- 
phlets issued  during  the  recent  Russian  revolutionary  disturbances, 
the  whole  range  of  historical  writing  was  covered.

TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  MEETING.  41 

Theodore  C.  Pease,  and  a  report  on  the  archives  of  the  Territory  of  New  Mexico 
by  Prof.  John  H.  Vaughan.  Reports  were  in  progress  in  other  States  and  would 
be  printed  subsequently.  Upon  the  initiative  of  the  commission  and  by  authority 
of  the  council  arrangements  had  been  made  to  participate  in  the  International 
Congress  of  Archivists,  to  be  held  in  Brussels  in  August,  1910.  As  in  previous 
years  the  work  of  transcribing  documents  relating  to  American  history  in  the 
British  Archives  for  the  Library  of  Congress  had  been  continued  under  the 
supervision  of  Prof.  Charles  M.  Andrews  on  behalf  of  the  commission.  A  new 
activity  had  been  undertaken  by  the  commission  in  the  organization  of  a 
conference  of  archivists,  which  had  been  held  in  connection  with  the  present 
meeting  of  the  association,  and  the  success  of  which  had  been  such  as  to  warrant 
planning  for  a  similar  conference  next  year. 

Prof.  Charles  H.  Hull,  chairman  of  the  Justin  Winsor  prize  committee,  stated 
that  as  the  Justin  Winsor  prize  was  not  awarded  in  the  odd  years  the  com- 
mittee had  no  report  to  make. 

For  the  Herbert  Baxter  Adams  prize  committee,  its  chairman,  Prof.  George 
L.  Burr,  reported  that  three  essays  had  been  submitted  to  the  committee  in 
competition  for  the  Herbert  Baxter  Adams  prize,  which  the  committee  had 
awarded  to  Dr.  Wallace  Notestein,  of  the  University  of  Nebraska,  for  his 
essay  entitled  "A  History  of  English  Witchcraft  from  1558  to  1718." 

For  the  board  of  editors  of  the  American  Historical  Review  Prof.  George  B. 
Adams,  chairman,  reported  the  resignation  of  Prof.  Albert  Bushnell  Hart  from 
the  board  after  a  service  dating  from  the  founding  of  the  Review  in  1895,  The 
council  had  elected  as  his  successor,  for  six  years  from  January  1,  1911,  Prof. 
Frederick  J.  Turner,  of  Harvard  University. 

Dr.  E.  C.  Richardson,  chairman  of  the  committee  on  bibliography,  reported 
that  the  routine  work  of  the  committee  had  been  confined  to  the  unfortunate 
but  necessary  rejection  of  special  bibliographies  offered  for  printing,  space  for 
such  contributions  not  being  at  present  available  in  the  annual  repor-ts.  The 
special  work  of  the  committee  had  been  in  connection  with  the  proposed  joint 
list  of  collections  relating  to  European  history,  which  had  been  compiled  and 
was  in  process  of  being  edited.  An  experimental  test  of  the  need  and  value 
of  such  a  list  had  been  made  by  sending  the  first  23  titles  of  the  alphabetic 
list  to  10  of  the  typical  libraries  in  3  sections  of  the  East.  Of  these  23 
sets  5  were  lacking  in  all  the  libraries,  and  only  5  were  found  in  as  many  as 
half  the  libraries.  A  majority  of  the  titles  were  found  in  only  2  libraries. 
Harvard  with  15  sets  and  the  Library  of  Congress  with  14  easily  led,  but 
even  these  libraries  lacked  each  one-third,  and  only  one  other  library  had  as 
many  as  one-third,  which  showed  the  general  need  of  such  a  list.  A  grouping 
by  regions  showed  that  out  of  the  23  titles  17  could  be  consulted  at  Harvard, 
Boston  Public,  or  Yale,  12  at  the  New  York  Public,  Cornell,  Princeton,  and  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  13  at  Johns  Hopkins  and  the  Library  of  Con- 
gress. The  object  of  preparing  the  list.  Dr.  Richardson  said,'  was  not  only  to 
secure  knowledge  as  to  where  copies  might  be  found  for  purposes  of  consulta- 
tion or  of  interlibrary  loans,  but  also  to  secure  cooperation  on  the  part  of 
librarians  in  the  makmg  of  purchases  so  that  there  might  be  one  copy  of  each 
set  in  every  geographical  center  or  locality  instead  of  a  haphazard  duplication. 
Its  chief  value  would  be  as  an  object  lesson  showing  what  might^be  done  on  a 
larger  scale.  The  most  important  part  of  the  committee's  work  had  been, 
therefore,  the  enlisting  of  interest  on  the  part  of  librarians  and  the  encourage- 
ment of  plans  pointing  in  the  direction  indicated. 

The  report  of  the  general  committee  was  presented  by  the  chairman,  Prof. 
St.  George  L.  Sioussat.    The  committee  had  as  in  past  years  devoted  its  activi-

been  sufficient  barely  to  pay  the  expense  of  publication.  The  second  volume  of 
the  series,  Clarence  E.  Carter's  "  Great  Britain  and  the  Illinois  Country,"  to 
which  had  been  awarded  the  Justin  Winsor  prize  in  1908,  was  about  to  go  to 
press  and  could  be  expected  in  the  spring.  Up  to  the  present  time  216  copies 
had  been  subscribed  for.  The  attention  of  the  association  was  called  to  the 
necessity  of  supporting  the  series  and  to  the  fact  that  continuous  subscriptions 
could  be  made  to  the  series  at  $1  per  year,  the  amount  to  be  added  to  the 
annual  dues,  thus  avoiding  the  trouble  of  ordering  and  paying  separately  for 
the  volumes. 

For  the  committee  of  five  on  history  in  the  secondary  schools.  Prof.  Charles  H. 
Haskins  reported,  the  chairman,  Prof.  A.  C.  McLaughlin,  being  absent,  that  a 
plan  of  a  report  had  been  prepared,  adhering  in  general  to  the  recommendations 
of  the  committee  of  seven.  This  plan  was  to  be  discussed  at  a  conference  to 
be  held  on  the  following  day,  and  would  be  submitted  to  the  association  during 
the  coming  year. 

The  nominating  committee  then  presented  its  report  as  follows: 

December  30,  1909. 

The  committee  on  nominations  respectfully  report  the  following  nominations 
of  officers  of  the  American  Historical  Association  for  the  ensuing  year : 

President :  Frederick  J.  Turner. 

First  vice  president :  William  M.  Sloane. 

Second  vice  president :  Theodore  Roosevelt. 

Secretary:  Waldo  G.  Leland. 

Treasurer :  Clarence  W.  Bowen. 

Secretary  of  the  council :  Charles  H.  Haskins. 

Curator:  A.  Howard  Clark. 

Members  of  the  executive  council :  Evarts  B.  Greene,  Charles  H.  Hull,  Max 
Farrand,  Frank  H.  Hodder,  Edwin  Erie  Sparks,  Franklin  L.  Riley. 

William  MacDonald, 
William  E.  Dodd, 
George  M.  Wrong, 

Nominating  Committee. 

Upon  the  report  being  read  it  was  moved  and  unanimously  voted  that  the 
secretary  of  the  association  be  directed  to  cast  the  ballot  of  the  association  as 
a  whole  for  the  candidates  as  nominated  by  the  committee.  The  secretary  being 
thus  instructed,  cast  the  ballot  as  directed,  and  the  candidates  as  nominated 
were  declared  elected. 

The  retiring  president  expressed  the  feeling  of  gratitude  felt  by  the  entire 
association  for  the  untiring  efforts  of  those  who  had  worked  to  make  the 
twenty-fifth  annual  meeting  so  notable  a  success,  especial  thanks  being  due  to 
the  chairmen  and  members  of  the  committee  on  program  and  of  the  committee  on 
arrangements.  It  was  explained  tha't,  instead  of  the  usual  resolutions  of  thanks 
to  the  individuals  and  others  whose  hospitality  had  been  extended  to  the  asso- 
ciation, the  council  had  decided  that  its  secretary  should  write  individual  letters 
of  acknowledgment  and  appreciation. 

The  meeting  was  then  declared  adjourned.

PROGRAM  OF  THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE  AMERICAN 
HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION,  HELD  IN  NEW  YORK  CITY  DECMEBER  27- 
31,  1909. 

The  twenty-fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Historical  Association 
will  be  held  in  New  York  on  December  27-31,  1909,  jointly  with  the  American 
Economic  Association.  The  American  Political  Science  Association,  the  Ameri- 
can Statistical  Association,  the  American  Sociological  Society,  the  American, 
Association  for  Labor  Legislation,  the  American  Social  Science  Association,  the 
Bibliographical  Society  of  America,  the  American  Society  of  Church  History,  and 
the  New  York  State  Teachers'  Association  will  all  hold  meetings  at  the  same 
time  and  place. 

The  usual  arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  railways  for  reduced 
fare  upon  presentation  of  a  convention  certificate.  Full  details  concerning 
transportation  and  hotels  are  given  in  the  circular  issued  by  the  joint  anniver- 
sary committee.  Earl  Hall,  Columbia  University,  New  York.  Reservation  of 
rooms  in  the  dormitories  of  Columbia  University  or  in  the  Waldorf-Astoria 
Hotel  should  be  made  at  once. 

During  the  entire  week  there  will  be  a  specially  arranged  exhibition  in 
Teachers'  College  of  aids  in  the  teaching  of  history,  with  special  reference  to 
source  work  and  visualization.  This  exhibition  will  contain  many  devices  in  use 
in  the  schools  in  France  and  Germany — imported  especially  for  it — which  are 
accessible  for  teachers  of  history  in  America,  and  other  illustrative  material. 

There  will  be  an  exhibition  in  the  library  of  Columbia  University  of  material 
illustrating  the  development  of  historiography.  This  exhibit  will  include  early 
manuscripts  of  historical  writers,  first  editions  of  Greek  and  Roman  historians, 
mediaeval  chronicles  in  manuscript  and  in  print,  autograph  manuscripts  of 
American  historians,  and  valuable  and  rare  works  and  documents  relating  to 
European  and  American  history.  The  collection  of  manuscripts,  printed  works, 
antiques,  paintings,  etc.,  of  the  Hispanic  Museum,  One  hundred  and  fifty-sixth 
Street  and  Broadway,  will  be  on  exhibition  daily  from  10  to  5.  The  New  York 
Historical  Society,  170  Central  Park  west,  and  the  New  York  Genealogical 
and  Biographical  Society,  226  West  Fifty-eighth  Street,  extend  to  the  members 
of  the  American  Historical  Association  a  cordial  invitation  to  visit  their  rooms 
and  libraries.  Both  these  societies  possess  rare  and  interesting  historical 
material. 

Places  of  historical  interest  in  New  York  may  also  be  visited  on  Tuesday, 
Wednesday,  and  Friday  afternoons  by  small  partes  under  the  special  direction 
of  the  City  History  Club  of  New  York.  A  representative  of  the  City  History 
Club  will  be  at  headquarters  to  receive  applications. 

Papers  are  limited  to  20  minutes,  and  discussions  to  10  minutes  for  each 
speaker.  Those  who  read  papers  or  take  part  in  the  conferences  are  requested 
to  furnish  the  secretary  with  abstracts  of  their  papers  or  remarks. 

Persons  not  members  of  the  association  will  be  cordially  welcome  to  the

A  REPORT  OF  THE  ACTIVITY  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST  BRANCH  OF  THE 
AMERICAN  HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION  FROM  NOVEMBER  19,  1908,  TO 
NOVEMBER  20, 1909. 


By  Jacob  N.  Bowman,  Secretary. 


The  officers  during  this  year  were  the  following:  President,  Benjamin  Ide' 
Wheeler,  president,  University  of  California ;  vice  president,  Mr.  George  H. 
Himes,  Portland,  Oreg. ;  secretary-treasurer,  Prof.  J.  N.  Bowman,  University  of 
California ;  the  council,  the  above  and  Prof.  E.  D.  Adams,  Stanford  University ; 
Mr.  George  E.  Crothers,  San  Francisco;  Mrs.  Mary  Prag,  San  Francisco;  and 
Prof.  H.  W.  Edwards,  Berkeley. 

The  council  held  a  meeting  in  San  Francisco,  February  18,  1909.  It  volun- 
teered to  hold  a  first  session  in  Seattle  in  connection  with  the  Alaska-Paciflc- 
Yukon  Exposition.  The  offer  was  not  accepted.  The  paper  of  Mr.  D.  E. 
Smith,  "The  Viceroy  in  New  Spain,"  read  at  the  Berkeley  meeting,  190S,  was 
recommended  for  publication  in  the  annual  report  of  the  association.  A  pro- 
gram committee  for  the  Stanford  meeting,  set  for  November  19-20,  1909,  was 
appointed  in  March:  Profs.  E.  D.  Adams  and  P.  E.  Martin,  of  Stanford  Uni- 
versity; Prof.  H.  W.  Edwards,  of  Berkeley;  Mr.  F.  J.  Teggart  and  Prof.  J.  N. 
Bowman,  of  the  University  of  California.  Prof.  H.  Morse  Stephens  was  elected 
to  represent  the  branch  at  the  meeting  of  the  council  of  the  association  in 
New  York  in  November,  1909.  The  program  committee  reported  on  October 
20,  1909,  the  program  for  the  Stanford  meeting,  which  was  approved  by  the 
council. 

From  the  records  and  archives  of  the  branch  it  is  impossible  to  ascertain  the 
exact  membership  in  November,  1908.  During  the  year  the  names  and  ad- 
dresses of  the  high  school  and  college  teachers  in  the  Coast  States — except 
Arizona  and  Colorado — were  secured  with  a  view  to  making  wider  and  better 
known  the  nature  and  work  of  the  branch  and  the  association.  An  accident 
in  the  mail  service  prevented  the  full  use  of  this  mailing  list,  but  500  circulars 
were  sent  out,  principally  to  high-school  and  college  teachers  in  California,  Ore- 
gon, and  Washington. 

One  member  of  the  branch,  Mr.  J.  J.  Ryan,  of  San  Jose,  died  during  the 
year,  as  also  one  member  of  the  association  residing  on  the  coast,  Mr.  J.  J. 
Hagerman,  of  Colorado  Springs. 

The  statistics  of  membership  as  reported  at  the  Stanford  meeting  are  as 
follows:  Members  of  the  branch,  208;  members  of  the  association  residing  on 
the  coast,  15 ;  nominees  for  branch  membership,  17 ;  new  members  during  the 
year,  27 ;  members  of  the  association  residing  on  the  coast  becoming  members 
of  the  branch,  20 ;  branch  loss  by  removal  to  the  East,  3 ;  resignations  from 
the  branch  during  the  year,  4 ;  net  increase  or  decrease  in  membership  during 
the  year,  unknown.

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY  CELEBRATION  OF 
THE  AMERICAN  HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION  AND  AMERICAN  ECONOMIC 
ASSOCIATION.  HELD  AT  CARNEGIE  HALL,  IN  NEW  YORK  CITY,  ON 
MONDAY  EVENING,  DECEMBER  27,  1909,  AT  8  P.  M. 


Mr.  Sloane.  Ladies  and  gentlemen :  When  the  two  associations  of 
scholars  chose  to  celebrate  their  jubilee  in  the  city  of  New  York  the 
response  from  this  city  was  most  hearty  and  spontaneous,  and  you 
have  before  you  on  the  program  the  names  of  the  ladies  and  gentle- 
men of  New  York  who  have  united  to  make  this  a  jubilee  not  only  in 
name,  but  in  fact.  This  meeting  is  the  work  of  the  men's  reception 
committee,  but  the  ladies  of  New  York  have  been  in  no  way  inferior, 
as  later  in  the  program  will  be  seen,  for  with  their  lunches  and  re- 
ceptions and  all  that  goes  to  make  merriment  at  this  holiday  season, 
they  have  been  not  only  coadjutors,  but  leaders  in  the  great  cause. 
We  are  very  grateful — I  speak  for  the  joint  committee  of  managers — 
we  are  very  grateful  indeed  for  your  presence  here.  Our  gratitude 
takes  somewhat  the  form  so  well  known  in  the  old  dictionary,  of  a 
lively  sense  of  favors  to  come.  And  we  bespeak  your  further  hearty 
cooperation  with  us  throughout  the  scientific  sessions  that  are  to 
follow  this  meeting,  in  particular  those  at  which  the  presidential 
addresses  are  to  be  delivered.  If  you  will  come  on  the  subway  to 
One  hundred  and  sixteenth  Street,  there  you  will  find  a  commodious 
and  delightful  auditorium  prepared  for  your  reception,  and  the  ad- 
dresses will  keep  you  fully  informed  of  the  latest  work  which  has 
been  done  in  the  fields  of  history  and  of  economics.  We  therefore 
trust  that  you  will  find  your  way  in  considerable  numbers  to  our 
meeting  at  Columbia  to-morrow,  it  being  especially  and  peculiarly 
the  Columbia  day,  and  later  on  to  our  meetings  at  the  Waldorf. 

The  present  severe  storm  has  prevented  the  attendance  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  who  heartily  desired,  as  he  informed  me 
but  one  short  week  ago,  to  be  present  and  address  the  audience  that 
would  gather  here.  But  we  have  the  Chief  Magistrate  of  our  own 
Commonwealth,  who  lays  aside  the  gravest  affairs  of  state,  to  grace 
this  occasion  with  his  presence.  And  it  is  only  fitting  that  we  should 
express  our  hearty  gratitude  to  him  for  the  sacrifice  which  he  has 
made  to  be  present.  In  the  name  of  the  men's  committee  I  therefore 
formally  call  this  meeting  to  order  and  ask  you  to  accept  as  its  chair-

TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNIVEESARY   CELEBRATION.  63- 

AVell,  nothing  could  be  more  imperfect,  to  say  the  least,  as  a  descrip- 
tion of  New  York,  than  that. 

It  is  true  that  as  in  all  other  communities  that  I  know  anything 
about,  the  world  is  too  much  with  us;  late  and  soon,  getting  and 
spending  we  lay  waste  our  powers.  It  is  true  that  the  pursuit  of 
wealth  is  an  almost  universal  malady  here  as  everywhere  else;  but 
the  tables  are  written  on  both  sides.  There  is  another  side  to  the 
picture  of  New  York  which  I  wish  for  a  few  moments  to  dwell  upon 
for  the  consideration — not  for  the  entertainment — of  these  honored 
guests  of  ours.  In  that  great  American  renaissance,  which  set  in  after 
our  Civil  War,  and  which  Lincoln  prophesied  at  Gett3^sburg,  when  he 
said  that  this  Nation  under  God  was  to  have  a  new  birth  of  free- 
dom— little  dreaming  what  tremendous  results  were  to  follow,  and 
how  a  thousand  times  more  than  he  anticipated  his  prophecy  was  to 
be  fulfilled;  because,  when  the  Union  was  finally  and  actually  and 
forever  restored,  and  slavery  was  forever  laid  awa}^^,  when  that  cancer 
that  had  gnawed  upon  the  vitals  of  the  Kepublic  for  100  years  was 
killed,  a  new  America  sprang  up,  exhibiting  an  energy,  an  enter- 
prise, an  imagination,  a  daring,  and  a  hope  such  as  had  never  been 
dreamed  of  before ;  and  the  whole  country  awoke  to  new  action,  to 
new  endeavor,  to  new  achievements,  in  which  more  has  been  accom- 
plished than,  I  believe,  by  any  other  nation  known  to  history,  in  the 
same  space  of  time — in  this  American  renaissance.  New  York  has 
been  the  recipient,  New  York  has  had  the  benefit  of  all  the  great 
triumphs,  of  all  the  great  successes  and  achievements  that  have  -taken 
place  all  over  the<  land.  New  York  has  grown  great  because  the 
country  has  grown  so  great  to  feed  and  to  support  it,  so  that  I  think 
now,  without  hesitation,  we  may  say  it  is  the  center  of  the  civilization 
of  the  continent. 

See  what  wonderful  things  have  been  achieved  here  in  this  city 
under  our  very  eyes!  Look  at  our  universities,  happily  led  by 
Columbia,  itself  taking  the  lead  in  some  respects  of  all  the  universi- 
ties in  the  land,  coming,  as  I  believe,  in  closer  contact  with  the  peo- 
ple, a  more  truly  democratic  university  than  you  can  find  in  any  other 
place,  allying  itself  with  the  great  institutions  it  finds  about  it,  open- 
ing its  doors  every  day  to  the  public  to  valuable  lectures  on  many 
branches  of  learning.  Never  was  there  a  more  democratic  institu- 
tion in  the  shape  of  a  university  than  that.  And  then  there  are  the 
College  of  the  City  of  New  York  and  the  Normal  College  for 
Women — and  I  am  told  we  are  the  only  city  that  supports  at  its  own 
public  expense,  without  a  dollar  of  cost  to  the  pupils,  two  great  insti- 
tutions like  those  for  men  and  for  women — which  redound  not  only  to 
the  great  advantage  of  the  city,  but  to  that  of  the  whole  country 
itself.

TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNIVERSARY   CELEBRATION.  65 

interesting  week  for  these  visitors,  but  it  will  redound  in  double 
measure  to  the  benefit  and  the  advancement  of  this  great  city  of 
New  York. 

Truly,  this  is  a  great  national  occasion.  I  am  sorry  the  President 
of  the  United  States,  whom  you  all  so  much  admire,  is  not  here  to  be 
the  typical  representative  of  the  United  States  in  receiving  all  these 
guests.  It  is  really  a  national  affair,  not  confined  to  one  society 
or  to  five  or  to  twenty  societies,  nor  confined  to  one  city,  but 
it  speaks  whole  volumes  for  the  intelligence  and  the  interest  of  the 
people  of  this  country  and  of  this  city  in  the  questions  in  which 
these  societies  are  interested,  that  such  a  gathering  can  take  place  in 
this  city,  and  that  such  an  audience  can  come  together  as  is  here 
to-night. 

Gentlemen,  there  is  not  one  of  your  societies,  however  numerous - 
they  may  be,  however  abstruse  or  difficult  the  subjects  with  which  it 
has  to  deal,  that  does  not  find  in  this  city  of  New  York  a  large  num- 
ber of  educated  people  fully  in  sympathy,  fully  interested  in  what 
you  may  have  to  deal  with.  I  observed  in  London  that  no  man 
could  come  from  whatever  quarter  of  the  world  to  lecture  upon  any 
subject,  however  obscure,  however  obsolete,  or  however  new,  without 
finding  an  audience  in  the  city  of  London,  made  up  of  people  who 
were  interested  in  his  particular  subject,  and  who  welcomed  his  ap- 
proach. New  York,  I  believe,  stands  in  the  same  relation  to  the 
United  States  and  to  the  whole  of  this  continent  of  America.  It  is 
interested;  it  is  ready  to  furnish  listeners  for  any  man  who. comes 
from  any  quarter  of  the  globe  to  discuss  the  subjects  that  are  laid 
down  on  your  program;  and  I  prophesy  for  this  conference  a  very 
great  success  and  very  great  benefits,  not  only  to  those  who  attend, 
but  to  all  the  citizens  of  the  United  States. 

But  I  know  time  is  flying — it  never  flies  so  fast  as  when  a  man  is 
on  his  feet  and  other  people  are  sitting.  You  will  have  the  privilege 
of  listening  to  three  very  interesting  and  important  speakers,  and 
foremost  among  them  I  have  the  great  pleasure  of  presenting  to  you 
the  mayor  of  New  York,  and  I  am  very  glad  that  you  thus  welcome 
his  coming,  because,  in  a  certain  way,  it  is  a  kind  of  farewell  address, 
for  he  has  but  four  or  five  days  more  of  public  service,  which  he  has 
performed  so  well. 

I  have  the  great  pleasure  of  presenting  to  you  his  honor,  the  mayor, 
George  B.  McClellan. 

Hon.  George  B.  McClellan.  Mr.  Chairman  and  governor;  ladies 
and  gentlemen:  I  have  come  before  you  this  evening  with  a  great 
deal  of  hesitation,  for  I  am  a  layman  and  a  dabbler,  and  you  profess 
the  two  kindred  sciences  of  life — economics,  the  science  of  the  how, 
and  history,  the  science  of  the  why — economics,  the  science  of  to-day, 
and  history,  the  science  of  yesterday.

too  intense.  All  this  may  be  true,  and  yet  the  fact  remains  that 
Dumas  and  Prescott  and  Ferrer o  make  all  the  past  for  us  an  actual 
living  present ;  make  of  the  Bourbons,  and  of  Richelieu,  and  Mazarin, 
of  Ferdinand  and  Isabella,  and  Torquemada,  of  Sulla,  Caesar,  and 
Cicero  hum.an  beings  like  ourselves,  with  flesh  on  their  bones  and 
blood  in  their  veins,  with  hearts  that  beat  and  brains  that  think, 
with  our  likes  and  dislikes,  our  virtues  and  vices,  our  passions  and 
prejudices,  instead  of  paragons  of  excellence,  or  monsters  of  evil. 

Not  merely  human  automata,  dressfed  in  the  costumes  of  the  fore- 
going periods,  the  men  of  the  past  have  been  made  live  again  for 
us,  so  that  we  make  of  them  our  friends,  the  companions  of  our 
reveries,  sharers  of  our  sorrows  and  our  joys.  In  other  words,  we 
learned  to  like  the  reading  of  history  for  its  own  sake,  so  that  ulti- 
mately— ultimately,  mind  you — even  Hallam's  Middle  Ages  becomes 
a  joy,  and  the  Chronicles  of  John  the  Deacon  in  the  original  hog- 
Latin  a  ]3astime  for  a  summer's  afternoon. 

There  is  a  general  impression  that  there  is  nothing  easier  than  to 
write  a  book  or  to  teach,  provided  one  only  tries  hard  enough.  As 
the  result  of  this,  thousands  of  statistical  abstracts  masquerade  in 
solemn  and  smug  pomposity  as  history,  and  hundreds  of  incompe- 
tents cause  their  wretched  little  pupils  to  loathe  and  curse  the  very 
sound  of  history's  name. 

We  can  not  all  be  Sloanes  or  Dumas  or  Prescotts  or  Ferreros,  but 
we  can  most  earnestly  resolve  that  we  shall  not  burden  the  world 
with  an  additional  book  unless  we  have  a  message  to  convej^,  and  we 
shall  not  try  to  teach  unless  we  feel  the  responsibility  of  the  task. 
This  negative  duty  of  refraining  from  writing  and  teaching  history 
is  more  and  more  observed,  certainly  in  this  community,  and  the 
reason  for  it  is  that  there  is  a  constant  development  in  the  cultivation 
of  the  people  of  this  town.  As  our  chairman  has  told  you,  there  is 
a  false  idea  that  NeAV  York  is  so  occupied  in  the  pursuit  of  wealth, 
so  busy  in  the  struggle  for  existence,  that  her  people  have  no  time 
for  anything  else,  that  her  men  are  only  money  grabbers,  her  women 
butterflies.  Nothing  could  be  more  false.  There  is  an  intellectual 
side  in  this  city.  New  York  draws  nearer  and  nearer,  as  the  years 
go  by,  to  that  goal  that  all  thinking  New  Yorkers  hope  she  may  one 
day  attain — of  becoming  not  only  the  world's  center  of  wealth,  but 
its  center  of  thought  as  well. 

We  have  museums,  libraries,  and  collections,  which  through  the 
munificence  of  individuals  and  the  generosity  of  our  taxpayers  are 
the  most  important  in  the  country.  Thanks  to  Mr.  Carnegie,  our 
branch  library  system  is  unequalled.  Thanks  to  the  knowledge  and 
the  generosity  of  Mr.  Morgan,  New  York  is  rapidly  earning  her  place 
among  the  art  centers  of  the  world.  We  have  men  and  women  who 
think  as  well  as  men  and  women  who  do.    We  have  scholars,  scientists,

has  never  before  been  found,  I  think,  in  any  one  place,  and  perhaps 
may  never  be  found  again,  and  that  is  a  collection  of  historical  docu- 
ments, manuscripts,  and  other  choice  treasures,  brought  together  to 
illustrate  the  progress  of  historical  writing.  And  I  now  have  very 
great  pride  and  pleasure  in  presenting  to  you  the  president  of  Colum- 
bia University,  Nicholas  Murray  Butler. 

President  Nicholas  Murray  Butler.  Mr.  Chairman,  governor, 
ladies  and  gentlemen:  Truly  a  noteworthy  and  significant  welcome 
has  been  prepared  for  this  company  of  American  scholars.  It  is 
significant  and  it  is  noteworthy  that  in  our  democracy  the  President 
of  the  United  States,  the  governor  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  the 
mayor  of  the  city  are  willing  and  glad  to  take  time  from  their  labori- 
ous duties  to  greet  and  to  mingle  with  a  thousand  of  the  Nation's 
scholars.  We  must  all  regret  the  enforced  absence  of  the  President 
of  the  United  States.  How  suitable  it  is  that  the  President,  the  gov- 
ernor, and  the  mayor,  should  welcome  the  body  of  men  drawn  from 
all  parts  of  our  Nation,  who  are  students  of  history,  economics,  and 
political  science !  These  three  great  public  officers  are  in  personal 
direction  and  supervision  of  the  three,  or  three  of  the  greatest  ex- 
perimental laboratories  of  history,  economics,  and  political  science 
that  the  world  has  to  offer. 

In  your  associations,  in  your  studies,  and  in  your  libraries  you  his- 
torians and  economists  and  political  scientists  study  and  analyze  the 
waste,  the  velocity,  and  the  traction  powers  of  the  wheels  of  govern- 
ment. But  those  wheels  actually  revolve  in  the  presence  of  these 
public  officers  and  under  their  direction,  and  perform  the  practical 
work  of  government  with  their  guidance.  Is  it  not  appropriate  that 
the  men  whose  offices  bring  them  in  closest  contact  with  the  results 
of  your  studies  as  applied  to  the  daily  practical  problems  of  govern- 
ment and  of  administration  should  endeavor  to  appraise  for  us  all 
the  value  and  significance  of  the  studies  to  which  you  are  devoted? 
There  was  once  a  governor  of  this  State  whose  heart  was  thought  by 
some  to  be  just  a  little  cold  toward  projects  presented  to  him^  under  the 
label  of  reform,  who  used  to  receive  and  consider  the  requests  of  citi- 
zens who  waited  upon  him  to  secure  his  aid  for  certain  legislative 
proposals  with  a  formula  something  like  this : 

"  I  am  very  glad,  gentlemen,  to  have  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  you. 
1  think  I  understand  what  it  is  you  have  in  mind.  Won't  you  draw 
a  bill  and  send  it  up  to  me  to  look  at?" 

And  it  is  related  that  his  petitioners  rarely  came  back.  That 
particular  divorce  between  theory  and  practice  we  are  rapidly  learn- 
ing how  to  overcome.  And,  thanks  to  the  activity,  the  teaching,  and 
the  publications  of  your  associations,  the  public  opinion  of  the 
United  States  and  of  every  State  is  being  educated  up  to  a  point

if  there  are  any  such.  I  doubt  it.  But  if  there  are,  your  societies 
have  carried  these  studies  outside  the  limits  of  theoretical  considera- 
tion, and  you  are  dealing  to-day  with  the  most  practical,  the  most 
pressing,  the  most  immediate  questions  in  human  life.  You  may  be, 
as  the  mayor  has  eloquently  said,  reading  again  the  history  of  Rome, 
or  the  pages  of  Ferrero,  you  may  be  studying  the  intricacies  of  the 
civilization  of  the  middle  age,  or  you  may  be  discussing  philosophic 
theories  of  value,  but  always  and  everywhere  you  are  focusing  on  this 
human  twentieth-century  problem. 

You  will  remember  that  when  the  fall  of  the  Bastille  was  an- 
nounced Fox  was  reported  to  have  said,  "  How  much  the  greatest 
event  in  history,  and  how  much  the  best!  "  I  wonder  whether  Fox 
did  not  mistake  the  sign  and  symbol  of  an  event  for  an  event  itself. 
I  wonder  whether  what  his  eye  seized  upon  as  the  most  significant 
happening  in  history  was  not  just  one  more  of  the  visible  evidences 
of  the  onward  movement  of  that  great  democratic  tendency  which 
gives  form  and  shape  and  guidance  and  interpretation  to  our  modern 
life,  beginning  as  the  dumb  expression  of  instinct,  finding  here  the 
articulate  voice  and  there  a  battle  cry,  coming  out  into  the  open  to 
follow  an  eloquent  and  persuasive  leader,  seizing  upon  a  constructive 
mind  to  teach  it  how  to  write  itself  upon  the  statute  book,  making 
constitutions,  laws,  governmental  systems,  but  always  and  everywhere 
seeking  human  expression,  to  get  out  into  the  open,  out  beyond  the 
grasp  of  privilege,  and  out  beyond  the  limitation  of  artificial  opj)res- 
sion,  out  where  the  human  soul  and  mind  and  feeling  can  express 
themselves  as  free  agents  and  render  some  kind  of  service  to  their 
own  personal  ideals,  and  to  the  race  to  which  they  belong.  I  wonder 
whether  that  is  not  the  greatest  thing  in  our  modem  history.  And 
I  wonder  whether  the  relation  of  these  societies  and  their  studies  to 
it,  is  not  most  intimate  and  direct.  Judged  as  history  judges,  not 
quite  with  the  measure  of  the  geologist  or  the  physicist,  but  still 
judged  as  history  judges,  democracy  is  yet  very  young.  Enormous 
human  issues,  psychological,  ethical,  social,  hang  in  the  balance  of 
its  ultimate  success  or  failure.  And  those  of  us  who  are  so  fortunate 
and  who  ought  to  be  so  happy  that  the  lot  of  our  lives  is  cast  in  these 
delightful,  stimulating,  and  practical  studies,  ought  to  feel  from  the 
contact  with  this  great  city,  ought  to  feel  from  association  with  our 
colleagues  and  friends,  that  we,  through  our  studies  and  the  interpre- 
tation of  them,  are  contributing  what  we  can  to  the  perfection,  the 
development,  and  the  upbuilding  of  our  modern  American  democracy, 
to  the  end  that  every  human  being  that  owes  it  allegiance  may  find  the 
chance  for  self-expression,  for -growth,  for  development,  and  for 
usefulness. 

I  should  like  to  say  a  word  in  appreciation  of  the  presence  here 
of  a  distinguished  group  of  scholars  from  the  Old  World.    In  one

the  city  of  New  York,  and  I  have  the  great  pleasure  of  presenting  to 
you  the  governor  of  New  York,  the  Hon.  Charles  E.  Hughes. 

Hon.  Chakles  E.  Hughes.  Ladies  and  gentlemen:  When  I  was 
invited  to  be  present  upon  this  occasion  I  reminded  a  spokesman  of 
the  committee  that  for  the  governor  the  week  before  the  convening 
of  the  legislature  was  one  of  fasting  and  prayer.  It  was  a  week 
in  which  every  citizen  of  the  State  who  had  evolved  some  plan  for 
improvement  by  legislation,  or  in  administration — and  there .  are 
some  millions  of  them,  to  my  personal  knowledge — ^had  an  inde- 
feasible right  to  see  the  chief  executive.  It  was  a  time  for  in- 
spection, introspection,  examination,  and  explication  just  prior 
to  formal  communication.  I  told  him  it  was  absolutely  impossible 
at  such  a  time,  despite  my  gTeat  desire  to  join  in  extending  this 
welcome,  for  me  to  be  here.  He  answered  that  the  President  of  the 
United  States  was  going  to  give  a  welcome  on  behalf  of  the  Nation, 
and  that  tJie  governor  should  be  present  to  give  a  welcome  on  behalf 
of  the  State.  Now,  you  know  the  activity  of  Presidents  is  the 
despair  of  governors.  I  answered  that  if  the  President  were  to 
be  here  to  extend  a  welcome  for  the  Nation,  it  certainly  was  my  duty 
as  well  as  my  privilege  to  endeavor  to  represent  the  gratification  of 
the  people  of  the  State  of  New  York  that  this  meeting  was  to  be  held 
within  our  borders. 

We  greatly  regret  that  the  President  can  not  be  with  us;  not 
alone  because  he  could  speak  to  you  the  welcome  which  should  be 
national  in  its  breadth — as  this  is  an  occasion  of  national  signifi- 
cance— but  because  in  his  own  personal  work  and  achievements  he 
has  so  largely  represented  the  ideals  of  these  associations  in  his 
labors  of  administration  and  in  the  difficult  work  of  our  courts. 

We  regret  very  much  that  we  can  not  welcome  him  as  he  would 
welcome  you.  But  the  people  of  the  State  of  New  York  do  most 
heartily  gxeet  you  and  express  their  pleasure  that  you  have  reached 
this  time  of  commemoration,  when  in  the  case  of  the  Historical 
Association  and  of  the  Economic  Association  you  can  celebrate 
25  years  of  honorable  and  productive  effort. 

But  it  is  not  simply  by  way  of  commemoration  of  what  you  have 
accomplished  that  I  would  speak,  but  rather  extend  to  you  the  wel- 
come which  is  in  all  our  hearts  because  of  what  you  represent  in 
motive  and  purpose. 

The  past  25  years  have  been  years  of  unexampled  opportunity. 
The  rewards  of  honorable  endeavor  have  never  been  larger,  and 
the  inducements  to  work  in  the  familiar  callings  of  enterprise  and 
profession  have  never  been  greater.  I  am  addressing  many  who  vol- 
untarily turned  aside  from  those  paths  which  seemed  so  sure  to 
lead  to  affluence,  to  comfort,  to  positions  of  distinction  in  the  com- 
mercial and  professional  world,  that  you  might  sacrifice  your  all  to

TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNIVERSARY   CELEBRATION.  75 

The  Executives  of  our  da}^  may  make  mistakes.  They  may  be  ex- 
posed to  just  criticism  because  of  a  lack  of  merit  in  their  recommen- 
dations or  policies,  but  the  American  people,  true  to  their  instinct, 
will  pardon  if  they  believe  that  there  is  a  sincere  endeavor  to  ascer- 
tain the  facts;  to  deal  with  problems  in  the  light  of  the  facts,  with 
the  sole  object  to  be  of  service  to  the  community ;  and  that  must  be 
the  test  to  be  applied  in  all  our  difficult  essays  of  administration. 

We  need  in  our  lawmaking  bodies  study.  The  legislator  should 
be  a  student  of  the  legislation  of  the  past;  of  the  laws  of  other 
countries  and  other  States;  a  practical  man,  because  he  is  dealing 
with  the  application  of  theory  to  actual  affairs,  but  a  student  with 
practical  duties.  And  I  rejoice  that  we  are  drawing  more  and  more 
to  legislative  service  men  who  have  had  special  training  in  our  schools 
and  men  who  look  at  the  problems  of  the  day  in  the  light  of  the 
experience  of  the  past;  men  who  can  take  the  long  view  as  well  as 
the  short  view. 

We  need  men  trained  in  history  and  in  economics  in  our  courts. 
Nothing  is  a  greater  mistake  than  to  suppose  that  the  judicial  work 
is  removed,  as  dealing  with  some  exact  science,  from  economic  prob- 
lems and  historical  reflection.  As  a  distinguished  judge  said  in  my 
hearing  the  other  evening,  in  the  construction  of  statutes  it  is  a  \qyj 
attenuated  line  frequently  between  judicial  construction  and  judicial 
legislation  in  matters  of  constitutional  interpretation.  In  matters 
of  constitutional  interpretation  the  economic  view,  the  extent  of 
research,  the  acquaintance  with  the  past,  with  gTeat  enterprises,  and 
with  formal  efforts  to  solve  problems,  the  general  view  as  to  future 
tendencies  and  desirable  ends  will  have  a  most  important  bearing 
upon  the  conclusion  that  may  be  reached.  What  we  need  more  than 
anything  else  at  this  time,  it  seems  to  me,  is  a  general  understanding 
that  in  administrative  places,  in  our  legislative  halls,  and  upon 
the  bench  a  knowledge  of  history  and  of  economics  and  a  close 
relation  to  the  work  that  is  being  done  in  societies  such  as  your  own 
are  not  only  not  to  be  regarded  with  derision  but  should  be  treated 
as  matters  of  first  and  invaluable  importance. 

Now,  I  am  very  glad  that  we  are  so  impressed  with  the  difficulties 
of  our  situation  that  we  are  far  more  hospitable  to  the  suggestions 
which  come  from  universities  and  economic  and  scientific  societies 
than  we  have  been  in  the  past.  The  crowding  of  business  in  our 
Federal  concerns  and  in  our  State  concerns,  the  tremendous  scope  of 
governmental  activities  force  themselves  upon  the  attention  of  those 
charged  with  responsibility  to  such  a  degree  that  inevitably  they 
turn  for  light  to  those  who  in  the  more  quiet  hour  are  able  carefully 
to  work,  to  plan,  to  study,  and  to  reflect.  We  see  evidences  of  this 
on  every  hand.  I  think  the  time  will  come  when  we  shall  actually 
have  a  tariff  framed  in  accordance  with  expert  study  and  in  the

ascertain  something  apparently  unrelated  because  of  the  joy  of  acqui- 
sition. And  there  is  no  finer  joy  than  that  of  the  scholar  alone  in 
his  library,  rejoicing  over  a.  point  that  is  all  his  own — that  up  to 
date  no  one  else,  he  thinks,  may  have  apprehended.  But  after  all 
your  work  is  practical.  It.  is  to  be  decided  by  practical  advantages. 
You  are  simply  bringing  together  many  data  from  many  laboratories, 
giving  the  result  of  an  extended  experimentation,  not  for  the  pur- 
pose of  piling  up  the  grave  of  foolish  speculations,  in  an  immense 
mausoleum  of  annual  reports,  but  in  order  that  you  may  have 
something  worth  while  to  give  to  busy  men,  to  administrators,  to 
men  who  have  the  responsibilities  of  the  work  of  government,  in 
order  that  they  may  be  helped.  And  I  would  say  not  to  the  scholars, 
but  to  the  men  of  affairs,  study  histor}^,  even  if  it  is  superficially 
studied.  We  need  its  information;  we  need  the  poise  that  it  gives. 
We  can  not  be  firm  and  secure  and  well  poised  in  the  turmoil  of  the 
hour  unless  we  have  reviewed  the  activities  and  fought  the  battles 
of  the  olden  times,  and  known  of  the  ups  and  downs  of  former 
critical  hours.  But  the  best  of  all  is  the  encouragement,  the 
consciousness  that  we  have  as  we  lift  our  eyes  from  the  page  of 
history,  that  difficult  as  have  been  the  problems  of  other  days, 
and  of  our  own  day,  humanity  is  moving  on;  step  by  step  a  gain  is 
made.  We  are  the  favored  of  all  kinds.  We  to-day  have  the  best 
inheritance  in  our  generation  that  the  children  of  men  have  ever 
enjoyed.  And  however  doubtful  may  be  the  future,  we  can  not  sur- 
vey the  past,  with  its  awful  scenes  of  human  cruelty,  with  its  black- 
ness of  despair  at  times,  without  realizing  the  capacity  that  the 
human  race  has  for  the  onward  movement,  without  being  satisfied 
that  the  advantages  of  this  hour  will  never  be  lost.  And  by  the  co- 
operation which  you  offer,  and  by  the  intense  desire  of  the  people 
at  large  that  all  should  be  done  to  conserve  honorable  conditions, 
widen  opportunity,  lessen  misery,  and  enlarge  happiness,  we  are 
destined — not  losing,  but  increasing  the  advantages  that  we  now 
enjoy — still  to  continue  on  the  upward  path  until  we  get  somewhere 
near  the  goal  which  has  been  the  dream  of  the  poets,  and  the  his- 
torians, and  the  scholars  of  the  bygone  days. 

Chairman  Choate.  By  virtue  of  the  power  vested  in  me  as  chair- 
man of  this  meeting,  I  now  declare  the  meeting  closed.

OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST  BRANCH.

PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  SIXTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE  PACIFIC  COAST 
BRANCH  OF  THE  AMERICAN  HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION.    • . 


By  Jacob  N.   Bowman. 


The  sixth  annual  meeting  of  the  Pacific  coast  branch  of  the  Ameri- 
can Historical  Association  was  held  at  Stanford  University  on  Friday 
and  Saturday,  November  19-20,  1909.  The  meeting  was  one  of  the 
most  successful  and  most  interesting  that  the  branch  has  yet  held, 
and  this  success  is  largely  due  to  the  committee  on  local  arrangements 
and  to  Prof.  E.  D.  Adams,  head  of  the  history  department  in  Stan- 
ford University. 

The  first  session  was  held  on  Friday  afternoon  in  room  231  of  the 
History  Building.  The  vice  president  of  the  branch,  Mr.  George  H. 
Himes,  of  Portland,  Oreg.,  presided  in  the  absence  of  the  president, 
Benjamin  Ide  Wheeler,  in  Berlin.  After  a  few  remarks  Mr.  Himes 
called  to  the  chair  Prof.  Adams,  of  Stanford  University,  who 'pre- 
sided during  the  remainder  of  the  session. 

The  first  paper  was  read  by  Prof.  S.  L.  Ware,  of  Stanford  Uni- 
versity, on  "The  Self-government  of  the  Elizabethan  Parish."  He 
explained  the  offices  of  the  parish,  their  duties  and  their  jurisdictions. 
In  both  church  and  state  the  parish  was  the  center  of  all  govern- 
ment ;  its  responsibility  was  to  the  Crown,  as  the  parish  government 
was  considered  the  Queen's  business.  The  duties  were  burdensome 
and  often  invidious.  Offices  were  never  solicited  and  seldom  did  a 
person  serve  a  second  term.  Freedom  from  service  was  often  granted 
as  a  privilege;  sometimes  men  paid  for  their  release  from  parish 
offices,  and  cases  are  also  noted  where  men  have  gone  to  court  to 
evade  office.  AYomen  could  serve  in  some  of  the  offices;  a  widow 
served  out  the  unexpired  term  of  her  deceased  husband.  All  in  all, 
the  holding  of  offices  was  felt  to  be  a  duty  rather  than  a  right.  In 
matters  of  taxation  the  parish  assessed  itself;  in  case  of  the  parish- 
ioners failing  to  do  this,  the  constables,  justices,  etc.,  arranged  it 
for  them.  Because  of  these  conditions  the  select  vestry,  a  closed 
body,  rose  in  the  late  Elizabethan  times  and  continued  its  life  and 
work  to  the  end  of  the  nineteenth  century.  The  parish  was  much 
more  of  a  reality  then  than  now ;  it  was  more  democratic ;  seldom  were 
persons  asked  to  perform  the  duties  of  others.  Justices  of  the  peace

the  troops.  During  the  French  and  Indian  War  the  colonies  kept  in 
close  touch  with  each  other;  they  claimed  exclusive  control  in  mat- 
ters of  taxation,  basing  this  claim  on  old  rights  and  on  their  non- 
representation  in  Parliament.  Practically  all  the  colonial  arguments 
of  the  Revolutionary  War  were  already  developed  in  the  French  and 
Indian  War. 

Prof.  E.  B.  Krehbiel,  of  Stanford  TJniversit}^,  then  read  a  paper  on 
"  The  Immigration  of  the  Russian  Mennonites  in  the  Seventies."  He 
pointed  out  that  in  doctrine  they  were  of  Quaker  and  Anabaptist 
origin.  They  sprang  up  in  Switzerland  and  Holland  simultaneously 
in  the  sixteenth  century  and  spread  through  northwestern  Germany. 
They  came  to  the  Palatinate,  but  suffered  greatly  there  at  the  end  of 
the  seventeenth  century  from  the  forces  of  Louis  XIV.  Catharine  II 
found  them  suitable  immigrants  for  southern  Russia  in  1788.  She 
granted  them  concessions  in  religious  freedom,  local  government,  and 
freedom  from  military  duties.  Under  these  conditions  they  flourished 
and  became  wealthy,  but  held  aloof  from  Russian  life.  They  did  not 
I  intermarry  nor  become  Russian  citizens  nor  learn  the  Russian  language. 
Consequently  they  aroused  the  dislike  of  the  Russians.  In  1870  the 
Russian  Government  determined  to  revoke  the  old  concessions  and 
provided  that  after  1874  the  Mennonites  were  to  be  ruled  as  Russian 
citizens,  and  that  they  should  accept  the  Russian  religion  and  lan- 
guage. The  Mennonites,  therefore,  determined  to  emigTate.  They 
sent  a  committee  of  12  to  America  to  choose  a  suitable  location. 
Manitoba,  Minnesota,  Dakota,  Nebraska,  Kansas,  and  Texas  were 
visited.  The  Santa  Fe  Company  became  interested  in  them  as  set- 
tlers on  the  plains.  An  agent  was  sent  to  Russia,  who  aided  them  in 
deciding  to  migrate  to  America  instead  of  to  Siberia,  and  much  assist- 
ance was  furnished  by  the  American  Mennonites.  The  migration 
began  in  1874.  They  left  Odessa  and  Lemberg  and  came  via  Liver- 
pool and  New  York  to  the  United  States.  The  majority  settled  in 
Kansas.  Some  settled  in  Nebraska,  Illinois,  Ohio,  Penns3dvania,  and 
Manitoba.  In  all  these  places  they  became  very  prosperous  and 
wealthy. 

The  last  paper  of  the  session  was  read  by  Prof.  R.  S.  Scholz,  of 
the  University  of  California — "  Notes  on  Roman  Imperialism."  He 
directed  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  Roman  imperialism  was  not  an 
inheritance  from  the  Roman  Republic.  The  keynote  of  imperialism 
was  development^  consolidation,  and  socialization  This  social  process 
was  a  natural  one, but  the  political  process  was  due  to  a  conscious  policy. 
Sometimes,  as  in  Gaul,  both  of  these  processes  went  hand  in  hand, 
the  language,  society,  and  life  and  the  towns  and  imperial  authority 
all  developing  together.  The  policies  of  the  various  emperors  were 
not  consistent,  differing  in  many  ways,  yet  all  led  in  the  end  to  the 
edict  of  Caracalla  granting  citizenship  throughout  the  Empire.     The

some  6,000  books  and  pamphlets  on  Brazilian  life,  history,  and  travel. 
He  very  kindly  offered  its  use  to  any  member  of  the  branch  or  the 
association  interested  in  Brazilian  history. 

Prof.  Bernard  Moses,  of  the  University  of  California,  then  spoke 
on  "  The  Historical  Field  in  South  America."  He  pointed  out  many 
differences  in  life  and  culture  between  the  northern  and  southern 
continents.  He  also  told  of  the  scientific  congress  held  at  Santiago 
de  Chile,  last  year,  and  pointed  out  the  extent  to  which  a  gathering  of 
this  kind,  without  political  or  diplomatic  interests,  can  bring  the 
different  parts  of  the  Western  Hemisphere  into  a  better  understanding 
of  each  other. 

Mr.  George  E.  Crothers,  of  San  Francisco,  spoke  on  the  "Library 
Value  of  Public  Documents."  He  urged  libraries  to  secure  public 
documents  as  they  are  published,  when  they  can  be  had  for  the  ask- 
ing; within  a  few  years  they  are  out  of  print  and  often  exceedingly 
expensive.  He  also  spoke  on  the  advisability  of  honors  and  of  fellow- 
ships for  graduate  students  to  aid  in  the  stimulation  of  graduate  work 
and  interest. 

Mr.  F.  J.  Teggart,  curator  of  the  Academy  of  Pacific  Coast 
History,  spoke  of  the  work  of  the  academy,  which,  he  said,  is  a  pub- 
lishing body,  printing  original  material  and  secondary  works  bearing 
on  Pacific  coast  history. 

Prof.  E.  S.  Meany,  of  the  U  niversity  of  Washington ;  Miss  Agnes 
^E.  Howe,  of  the  San  Jose  State  Normal  School ;  Miss  Jeanne  E.  Wier, 
of  the  University  of  Nevada ;  Prof.  T.  C.  Knoles,  of  the  University  of 
Southern  California ;  and  the  secretary  of  the  branch,  also  spoke. 

The  secretary  was  instructed  by  a  unanimous  vote  to  send  a  letter 
to  President  Benjamin  Ide  Wheeler  and  a  telegram  to  Prof.  H.  Morse 
Stephens  expressing  the  regrets  of  the  branch  at  their  absence  and  its 
best  wishes  for  their  year  in  Europe. 

On  Saturday  morning  the  second  session  was  opened  by  Vice 
President  Himes,  who  later  called  Prof.  Adams  to  the  chair. 

Prof.  P.  J.  Treat,  of  Stanford  University,  read  the  opening  paper 
on  "  Captain  Arthur  Phillip,  First  Governor  of  New  South  Wales." 
After  referring  to  the  conditions  of  Australia  and  its  acquisition  by 
England,  Prof.  Treat  spoke  of  the  work  of  Capt.  Phillip.     His  in- 
structions directed  him  with  his  shipload  of  convicts  to  establish  a 
'  settlement  at  Botany  Bay;  but  after  an  investigation  of  actual  condi- 
tions he  selected,  on  his   own  authority,   Sydney  Harbor  instead. 
Phillip  saw  the  value  of  Australia  and  of  New  South  Wales ;  and 
I  through  the  term  of  his  governorship  there  he  spent  his  best  energy 
I  in  laying  a  firm  foundation  for  a  permanent  settlement,  which  has 
i  grown  into  the  present  Sydney.     His  courage,  common  sense,  and 
\  tenacity  overcame  all  obstacles.    For  six  years  he  presided  there  as  a 
!  little  king  with  no  appeal  from  his  decisions  except  to  the  secretary

The  next  paper  was  by  Prof.  Edmond  S.  Meany,  of  the  University 
of  Washington,  and  had  for  title,  "  The  Towns  of  the  Pacific  North- 
west were  not  Founded  on  the  Fur  Trade."  ^  Citing  Prof.  Turner  as 
to  the  development  of  the  trading  posts  of  the  central  part  of  the 
continent  into  towns.  Prof.  Meany  stated  that  for  the  country  west 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains  that  thesis  could  not  be  applied.  Tracing 
the  course  of  international  relations  which  terminated  in  the  Ameri- 
can occupation  of  the  Pacific  Northwest,  he  pointed  out  that  it 
was  agricultural  settlement  rather  than  the  fur  trade  which  counted, 
and  that  the  nuclei  of  the  towns  were  usually  a  sawmill,  water 
power,  a  mine,  or  a  convenient  crossroads  in  the  farming  districts. 

The  session  was  closed  with  a  paper  by  Mr.  F.  J.  Teggart,  of  the 
University  of  California,  on  "  The  Early  Missouri  Fur  Trade." 
The  speaker  took  up  the  early  fur  trade  of  the  Mississippi  Valley 
and  the  policies  of  the  Spanish  authorities  relative  to  this  activity. 
In  the  eighteenth  century  the  Spanish  Government  was  accustomed 
to  grant  exclusive  privileges  of  the  trade  of  an  Indian  tribe  to  a  com- 
pany or  to  an  individual.  The  trade  was  also  sometimes  opened  to 
all;  especially  was  this  true  for  the  trade  in  the  more  distant  parts. 
It  was  offered  as  a  reward  for  penetration  into  those  remote  parts  or 
granted  as  an  encouragement  to  further  exploration.  The  Missouri 
played  its  part  in  leading  the  traders  among  the  many  Indian  tribes 
interested  in  the  fur  trade,  and  in  guiding  the  exploring  traders 
to  the  base  of  the  mountains.  It  eventually  became  the  great  high- 
way from  the  Mississippi  to  the  West. 

The  teachers'  session  on  Saturday  afternoon  had  as  its  general  sub- 
ject "Ancient  History  in  the  First  Year  of  the  High  School."  Prof. 
H.  W.  Edwards,  of  the  Berkeley  High  School,  read  the  first  paper  on 
"  Methods  of  Teaching  Ancient  History  to  Beginners."  He  pointed 
out  that  the  distance  of  the  subject  from  the  present  and  the  begin- 
ner's intense  interest  in  the  present  often  result  in  the  destruction  of 
the  latter  and  engender  a  hatred  for  history.  He  suggested  that  this 
be  corrected  by  taking  advantage  of  the  pupil's  interest  and  his 
environment. 

Prof.  W.  C.  Westergaard,  of  the  Alameda  High  School,  followed 
with  a  paper  on  "  Points  of  Contact  between  Ancient  History  and 
the  Present."  He  directed  attention  to  the  many  things  in  common 
between  ancient  history  and  the  present;  citizenship,  the  rich  and 
poor,  the  limits  of  franchise,  taxation  questions,  democracy,  the 
judicial  system,  the  colonial  system,  the  expansion  of  peoples  and 
empires,  social  customs,  women's  suffrage,  architecture,  etc. 

Prof.  E.  F.  Scholz,  of  the  University  of  California,  in  opening  the 
discussion  spoke  rather  of  the  subject  matter  of  ancient  history  than

(WESTERN  ASIA  IN  THE  REIGN  OF  SENNACHERIB  OF  ASSYRIA  705-681.) 


By  Albert  T.  Olm  stead. 


In  any  attempt  to  study  critically  the  history  of  Western  Asia  in 
the  period  of  Assyrian  supremac}^,  it  is  most  natural  to  group  the 
i  events  around  the  person  of  the  monarch  who  was,  for  the  time 
being,  the  most  important  individual  in  the  civilized  world.  This 
we  do,  not  so  much  on  account  of  the  dominant  personality  of  these 
rulers,  though  most  of  them  were,  indeed,  strong  men,  as  because 
we  must  take,  however  reluctantly  and  with  however  much  suspicion 

I  as  to  the  personal  equation,  the  royal  annals  for  the  backbone  of 
our  narrative.  This  seeming  isolation  of  the  events  of  each  reign 
is  further  intensified  by  the  fact  that  none  of  these  royal  records 

•  extends  to  the  end  of  its  reign,  and  we  accordingly  have  here  a  marked 
■  break,  after  which  we  often  find  an  entirely  new  set  of  conditions. 

It  has  therefore  seemed  wise,  in  dealing  with  this  history  in  detail, 
to  follow  the  Germans  in  their  Jahrbiicher  system  of  presenting 
reign  by  reign  the  rulers  of  that  German  Empire  which  formed  in 
medissval  times  so  similar  a  center  for  the  general  history  of  Europe. 
'■  This  has  already  been  done  with  the  necessary  detail  for  the  reign  of 
:  Sargon,^  and  it  is  as  an  advance  study  for  a  similar  discussion  of  the 

•  reign  of  his  son  and  successor,  Sennacherib,  that  the  present  sketch 
is  submitted.^ 

As  regards  our  sources,  we  are  by  no  means  sO'  well  situated  as 
in  the  case  of  his  father's  reign,  and  we  are  far  less  so  as  compared 
with  those  of  his  son  and  grandson,  Esarhaddon  and  Ashur  bani 
apal.^    Aside  from  a  few  doubtful  and  much  discussed  fragments 

^Olmstead,  Western  Asia  in  the  Days  of  Sargon  of  Assyria  (Cornell  Studies  in  Hist, 
and  Pol.  Sci.,  Vol.  II).  Referred  to  as  Sargon.  It  is  intended  to  deal  with  the  history  of 
the  other  Assyrian  reigns  in  the  same  fashion. 

2  The  best  general  account  of  the  reign  is  that  given  by  G.  Maspero,  Histoire  ancienne 
de  rOrient  classique,  III,  273  fP.  The  sketch  of  Sennacherib  given  by  Weber  in  Das  Alte 
Orient  is  brief  but  good.  In  the  present  article  only  the  most  important  references 
are  given. 

3  A  full  bibliography  of  the  various  editions  and  translations  of  the  texts  is  given  by 
Maspero,  op.  cit.,  273,  note  1.  The  majority  are  now  badly  antiquated.  We  need  only 
refer  to  the  text  editions  in  Rawlinson's  Cuneiform  Inscriptions  and  in  Smith  and 
Sayce's  History  of  Sennacherib.  The  most  up-to-date  translation  is  that  of  C.  Bezold, 
accompanied  by  a  transliterated  text  based  on  the  recensions,  in  the  Keilinschriftliche 
Bibliothek,  II,  80  ff.,  but  this  is  already  antiquated  and  an  adequate  philological  pub- 
lication is  much  to  be  desired.

has  also  destroyed  most  of  the  labels,  and  only  a  minute  study  will 
permit  us  to  use  them.  And  even  then  we  can  never  rid  ourselves 
of  the  uneasy  suspicion  that  the  particular  slab  before  us  may,  after 
lall.  be  one  of  the  many  we  know  to  have  been  stolen  by  his  son  from 
the  palace  of  the  half-finished  city  to  which  Sargon  gave  his  name.^ 

Since  the  overshadowing  question  of  liis  reign  was  the  relation  to 
be  assumed  toward  Babylon,  the  Babylonian  Chronicle  is  in  many 
respects  the  most  important  of  our  documents,  and  this  is  justified  by 
its  almost  complete  impartiality,  for  we  must  remember  that  to  its 
author  Assyrian  and  Chaldsean  were  alike  in  being  barbarians  who 
were  destroying  his  native  country  between  them.^  The  HaldiaRS  or 
early  Armenians  now  entirely  fail  us  for  records,  and  for  the  peoples 
on  the  northwest  frontier  we  have  only  an  Armenian  translation  of 
a  Greek  work,  which  very  indirectly  goes  back  to  the  Babylonian 
Berossus,  and  even  that  was  preserved  only  because  it  was  supposed 
to  refer  to  the  Greeks.^ 

In  some  respects  our  most  interesting  sources  are  those  preserved 
in  our  c>wn  sacred  Avritings.  But  here  again  all  is  uncertainty.  One 
small  fragment,*  added  to  the  main  document  in  Kings  after  it  had 
been  copied  from  that  common  source  whose  text  is  more  accu- 
rately given  in  the  historical  portion  of  Isaiah,  is  certainly  contem- 
porary, or  nearly  so,  and  may  be  part  of  the  royal  annals  of  Judah,  or 
may  even  go  back  to  a  cuneiform  original.  The  remainder  of  the 
account  in  Kings,  save  for  a  few  easily  removed  glosses,  is  undoubt- 
edly preexilic,  but  seems  to  be  based  on  tradition  rather  than  on 
written  sources;  at  least  it  is  strongly  influenced  by  folklore.  Some 
references — for  example,  the  story  of  Merodach  Bala  dan's  embassy 
and  the  allusions  of  the  speeches — belong  rather  to  the  reign  of 
Sargon.^  As  for  the  prophecies  of  Isaiah,  their  attribution  to  definite 
i  historical  events  is  on^  of  the  most  difficult  problems  of  Biblical 
criticism. 

Yet  in  spite  of  the  comparative  paucity  of  sources,  we  may  secure 
a  fairly  full  account  of  the  events  of  the  period.  Sennacherib's 
father,  Sargon,  was  an  usurper  Avhose  vigor  made  up  for  his  unknown 
ancestry.  There  is  no  likelihood  that  our  monarch  was  born  to  the 
purple,  for  he  early  appears  in  one  of  the  letters  as  crown  prince. 
Wliile  his  father  was  conquering  Babylonia  he  was  left  in  Kalhu  as 
regent  of  Assyria,  and  it  is  from  here  that  we  find  him  conducting 
the  Armenian  wars.     The  Cimmerian  invasion  and  the  defeat  of  the

WESTERN  ASIA  IN   THE   REIGN    OF   SENNACHERIB.  97 

This  condition  of  affairs  lasted  for  two  years,  during  which  time 
ve  hear  nothing  of  the  course  of  events.  Then,  how  we  do  not  know, 
Assyrian  rule  came  to  an  end,  and  a  certain  Marduk  zakir  shum,  per- 
laps  a  native  Babylonian,  succeeded  in  holding  the  throne  for  a 
nonth.  Merodach  Baladan  saw  his  opportunity  in  this,  and  once 
nore  regained  control  by  the  aid  of  Elam  (703)  .^  But  Assyria  seems 
0  have  held  some  parts  of  North  Babylonia,^  and  Sennacherib  at  once 
nvaded  the  country.  After  six  months  of  rule,  Merodach  Baladan 
vas  driven  out  of  the  city  and  pursued  far  into  the  swamp  lands.^ 

The  attempt  to  hold  Babylonia  as  a  separate  dependency  under  the 
ule  of  a  member  of  the  Assyrian  royal  family  had  proved  a  failure, 
Sennacherib  now  made  a  further  concession  by  handing  over  the 
dngdom  to  a  Chaldsean  named  Bel  ibni,  who  had  been  a  hostage  the 
greater  part  of  his  life  in  Assyria  and  might  therefore  be  supposed 
:o  have  become  pro- Assyrian.*  This  lasted  a  little  longer  (702-699). 
But  this  establishment  of  a  subject  prince  in  Babylonia  did  not  mean 
the  end  of  campaigning  in  the  south.  The  next  year  the  reduction 
of  the  Elamitish  capital  Susa,  always  one  of  the  main  points  of 
Assyrian  war  policy,  was  brought  a  step  nearer  by  a  campaign  whose 
purpose  was  the  extension  of  the  province  of  Gambulu,  while  another, 
:he  next  year,  against  the  Kashshites  and  Ellip,  gave  a  similar  exten- 
sion to  the  Harhar  province  and  the  two  now  furnished  a  good  base 
for  advance  on  Elam  itself.^ 

Affairs  of  Babylonia  now  seemed  sufficiently  settled  to  allow,  after 
four  years,  an  attempt  to  win  back  the  lost  countries  on  the  Egyptian 
frontier.  But  the  king's  absence  in  the  west  gave  the  Chaldseans 
mother  opportunity.  Bel  ibni  was  led  to  recognize  the  claims 'of 
ace  and  united  with  the  ever  hostile  Merodach  Baladan  and  Nergal 
jsheshib,  already  intriguing  for  the  throne  he  was  later  to  fill.  Sen- 
nacherib deposed  Bel  ibni  and  returned  to  his  earlier  policy  of  placing

1  Marduk  zakir  shum  is  only  known  definitely  from  the  king  list,  Schrader,  loc.  cit. 
But  it  is  probable  that  we  should  not  restore  in  Bab.  Chron.,  II,  17,  Marduk  (zakir  shum), 
as  Delitzsch  in  his  edition  of  the  inscription,  but  Marduk  (apal  iddin)  or  Merodach 
Baladan.  This  is  made  a  little  more  probable  by  the  occurrence  in  the  next  line  of 
itta  ("with"),  which  then  should  be  continued  by  the  name  of  Ishtar  hundu,  the  king 
of  Elam.  Unfortunately,  the  document  is  badly  mutilated  just  here.  The  official  Annals, 
I,  19  f£.,  are  more  detailed,  but  add  little  more  of  value. 

2  This  seems  proved  by  the  absence  of  the  North  Babylonian  cities  in  the  list  of  those 
captured.

;  Nor  was  it  easily  won  back.  The  Elamites  continued  their  policy 
\i  defending  their  own  country  by  keeping  the  Assyrians  engaged 
1  Babylonia  and  a  direct  attack  on  Elam  was  beaten  off  in  spite  of 
iiternal  wars.  Then  came  the  great  battle  of  Haluli  by  the  Tigris, 
nd,  most  significantly,  well  within  the  Assyrian  borders.  The 
tribes  relate  in  detail  the  Assyrian  victory,  but  these  details  are 
ague  and,  without  further  statement  of  results,  they  turn  abruptly 
D  an  account  of  the  building  operations.  Thus,  even  without  the 
tatement  of  the  Babylonian  Chronicle  that  the  Assyrians  were  really 
efeated,  we  might  be  sure  that  it  was  not  a  victory  for  Sennacherib.' 

Two  years  of  preparation  were  followed  by  another  capture  of 
kbylonia.  At  last,  Sennacherib  decided  to  adopt  a  new  policy,  one 
if  despair.  Nearly  the  whole  of  his  reign  and  much  treasure  and 
tlood  which  could  be  ill  spared  had  been  wasted  in  the  vain  attempt  to 
onciliate  the  fanatic  patriotism  of  the  people.  It  was  now  clear  that 
babylonia  would  never  accept  Assyrian  rule  so  long  as  the  city  of 
3abylon  existed.  Furthermore,  he  had  been  embittered  by  the  loss 
>f  his  eldest  son,  betrayed  by  his  subjects  to  the  enemy.  It  is  no 
vender,  then,  that  he  determined  to  solve  the  problem  in  the  only 
vsij  still  remaining,  by  the  destruction  of  Babylon.  Cruel  as  it 
eemed  to  destroy  the  city  which  was  the  center  of  the  cult  and  of 
ivilization,  it  was  justified  by  practical  expediency,  and,  had  not 
is  more  amiable  but  far  weaker  son  Esarhaddon  reversed  his  policy 
nd  rebuilt  the  city,  the  fall  of  Assyria  and  the  rise  of  the  Chaldsean 
Cmpire  might  have  been  indefinitely  postponed.  Under  similar  cir- 
umstances  the  Eomans  were  less  sentimental,  and  the  fact  that 
Carthage  and  Corinth  lay  waste  for  over  a  century  resulted  in  the 
apid  extension  and  safe  holding  of  territory,  which  might  have  been 
he  lot  of  Assyria.^ 

We  have  thus  dealt  with  the  Babylonian  question  in  detail  because 
I  dominates  the  whole  reign  and  because  it  best  allows  us  to  under- 
tand  the  tangle  of  relations  which  is  again  reflected  in  our  sources. 
Vith  one  exception,  the  other  wars  are  of  little  importance,  save  for 

minute  study  of  the  frontier  which  we  may  not  here  enter  upon. 
t  is  enough  here  to  mention  the  fact  that  there  were  wars  with  the 
iledes^  and  in  Asia  Minor,*  and  that  there  was  a  naval  battle  off 
vilicia  in  which  the  Phrygians  were  defeated  and  surrendered  the 
eadership  in  the  Mediterranean  to  the  Cypriote  allies  of  the  Assy- 
ians.^ 

The  only  other  operations  worthy  of  study  are  those  on  the 
•Egyptian  frontier  whose  causes  we  have  already  noted.    These  are  of

For  the  reign  of  Sargon  we  can  give  much  as  regards  the  culture 
history.  There  must  have  been  similar  development  in  that  of  his 
successor,  but  our  sources  give  little  idea  of  it.  In  only  one  respect 
do  we  know  of  an  important  change.  Nineveh  was  now  made  the 
capital  for  the  first  time  and  elaborate  buildings  were  erected.^  To 
this  is  due  the  position  which  it  holds  in  both  Biblical  and  classical 
literature.  But,  indeed,  we  ought  not  to  expect  much  culture  develop- 
ment for  his  reign.  It  was  the  business  of  Sennacherib  to  m^ake 
Assyria  dominant  politically,  not  culturally,  and  if  his  successors 
did  more  to  make  succeeding  nations  the  debtor  of  Assyria',  from 
the  standpoint  of  civilization,  it  is  also  probable  that  in  so  doing 
they  neglected  a  policy  which  would  have  longer  preserved  Assyrian 
nationality. 

1  The  various  sections  of  the  inscriptions  dealing  with  building  affairs  are  sufBciently 
given  by  Smith  and  Sayce,  Sennacherib,  140  ff.,  as  little  of  importance  can  be  gleaned 
from  those  later  discovered.  The  buildings  of  Nineveh  are  described  by  A.  H.  Layard, 
Nineveh  and  its  Remains,  and  Nineveh  and  Babylon.

THE  TEACHING  OF  MEDIEVAL  ARCHEOLOGY. 


By  Camille  Enlart. 


It  is  with  reason  that  classical  education  in  America  has  adopted 
the  same  program  as  in  Europe.  The  people  of  the  United  States' 
is  made  up  of  descendants  of  Europeans,  and  its  civilization  is  much 
more  the  result  of  European  experience  since  the  earliest  times  than 
the  result  of  the  experience  of  the  two  centuries  passed  on  this  side 
of  the  Atlantic.  Thus  it  is  that  when  American  students  are  taught 
the  ancient  and  mediaeval  history  of  Europe  it  is  really  their  own 
history  to  which  they  are  introduced.  As  to  art,  when  it  wishes  to 
clarify  itself  with  a  tradition  it  should  choose  that  which  is  appropri- 
ate to  the  environment  in  which  the  art  must  develop.  The  experi- 
ence of  European  art  can  not,  therefore,  fail  to  be  of  value  for 
American  artists.  The  ethnic  types  and  the  aspects  of  the  landscape 
are  here  wholly  analogous  to  those  of  Europe,  and  the  European 
masters  of  painting  and  sculpture  can  thus  furnish  an  instruction  at 
once  practical  and  easily  intelligible.  The  same  is  true  for  architec- 
ture; the  climatic  conditions  and  the  materials  with  which  it  must 
deal  in  Europe  are  found  repeated  in  America.  From  these  premises 
1  conclude  that  it  is  perfectly  reasonable  that  the  history  of  European 
art  should  be  taught  in  America. 

But  if,  as  in  Europe  we  have  agreed  to  believe,  education  in  the 
history  of  art  is  worth  while,  it  should,  over  here,  be  even  more 
developed  than  in  France,  in  England,  in  Italy,  in  Spain,  or  in 
Germany.  The  reason  for  this  is  quite  simple.  In  the  countries 
which  I  mention  the  student  of  art  or  of  history  can,  and  necessarily 
must,  give  himself  a  large  part  of  his  education,  for  he  is  surrounded 
with  ancient  works,  and  when  his  instructor  refers  to  these  he  speaks 
of  things  with  which  the  student  has  been  familiar  since  infancy. 
Of  these  original  works  of  art — the  veritable  titles  of  nobility  of  the 
European  races  and  of  their  American  descendants — America,  do 
what  she  may,  will  never  have  more  than  specimens,  for  the  best 
of  the  transportable  objects  are  permanently  located  in  European

turies  apart.  He  wished  to  secure  thus  a  double  demonstration, 
historio  and  esthetic,  to  show  that  Greek  statuary  and  Gothic  statuary 
had  followed  the  same  development,  presenting  phases  of  striking 
similarity,  and  that  in  each  of  these  phases  French  art  could  stand 
comparison  with  that  of  Greece.  The  demonstration  was  so  evident 
that  it  was  needless  to  carry  it  further ;  the  Musee  de  Sculpture  Com- 
paree  contents  itself  now  with  the  collection  of  works  of  the  Middle 
Ages  and  of  the  Eenaissance,  and  it  is  unnecessary  henceforth  to 
place  antiquities  by  their  side.  The  prejudice  grounded  in  us  since 
the  Renaissance  has  been  extinct  since  1882. 

The  lesson  given  by  VioUet  le  Due,  dying  at  the  very  moment  when 
his  idea  was  about  to  triumph,  was  a  revelation  for  the  artists. 
These  were  in  somewhat  the  situation  of  the  young  girl,  encountered 
in  various  stories,  to  whom  has  been  forbidden  the  sight  of  young 
men,  she  having  been  persuaded  that  they  were  all  ugly  and  bad.  As' 
soon  as  she  sees  one  she  falls  in  love  with  him. 

It  seemed  to  the  director  of  the  Beaux  Arts  and  to  the  Conunission 
des  Monuments  Historiques,  which  had  organized  the  museum,  that 
the  museum  should  be  complemented  by  the  giving  of  instruction, 
and  in  1889  a  chair  of  history  of  the  architecture  of  the  Middle 
Ages  and  of  the  Renaissance  was  established,  its  first  and  present 
occupant  being  the  most  fervent  disciple  of  Viollet  le  Due,  M.  de 
Baudot.  He  has  undertaken  the  task  of  showing  that  the  architec- 
ture of  the  Middle  Ages  is  fertile  in  practical  lessons,  and  he  demon- 
strates at  the  same  time  the  advantages  in  modern  construction  of 
the  employment  of  reinforced  cement.  This  second  part  of  -the  in- 
struction being  the  more  practical  seems  to  him  the  more  useful,  and 
so  to-day  it  constitutes  almost  the  entire  course ;  as  to  history  it  has 
never  occupied  more  than  an  almost  negligible  place. 

The  creation  of  this  course  was  of  great  service  in  that  it  caused 
the  Ecole  des  Beaux  Arts  to  realize  that,  as  the  representative  of  art 
education  in  France,  it  was  guilty  of  a  singular  aberration  in  ex- 
cluding French  art  from  its  instruction.  In  the  following  year  the 
school  called  an  eminent  architect,  M.  Paul  Boeswillwald,  to  teach  the 
history  of  French  art  and  the  art  of  restoring  historic  monuments. 
Soon  afterwards  M.  Lucien  Magne,  also  an  architect,  was  called  to 
a  second  historical  chair  where  he  developed  extensively  the  study  of 
the  models  of  the  Middle  Ages.  The  Ecole  Speciale  d'Architecture, 
established  by  M.  Emile  Trelat,  inaugurated  at  the  same  time  a  chair 
in  the  history  of  art  in  which  I  have  succeeded  M.  Andre  Michel. 
Thus  art  education  in  France  has  been  obliged  during  the  last  quar- 
ter of  a  century  to  make  room  everywhere  for  historical  instruction 
and  for  the  study  of  the  Middle  Ages.  The  promoter  of  this  move- 
ment was  the  illustrious  Viollet  le  Due.

TEACHING  OF  MEDIAEVAL  AECH^OLOGY.  109 

The  introduction  in  education  of  a  veritable  historical  method  dates 
in  France  from  the  establishment  of  the  Ecole  des  Chartes.  It  was 
founded  in  1836  and  its  first  director,  Jules  Quicherat,  gave  a  mas- 
terly course  in  French  archaeology.  In  1880  he  was  followed  by  his 
worthy  pupil,  the  Comte  Kobert  de  Lasteyrie,  who  was  my  teacher 
and  whose  substitute  I  had  the  honor  to  be  for  five  years.  To-day 
the  chair  is  worthily  filled  by  m}^  friend,  E.  Lefevre-Pontalis,  he,  too, 
a  pupil  of  M.  de  Lasteyrie.  This  instruction  has  produced  many 
excellent  pupils,  and  among  the  theses  of  the  Ecole  des  Chartes  an 
entire  series  is  devoted  to  archseologj^,  drawing  its  subjects  from  the 
history  of  romance  art  in  our  provinces,  or  from  the  monographic 
history  of  various  notable  monuments.  It  was  to  follow  out  the 
movement  started  at  the  Ecole  des  Chartes  that  the  Ecole  du  Louvre 
has  maintained  since  1880  a  course  in  the  history  of  sculpture  and  a 
course  in  the  history  of  the  industrial  arts.  The  chair  of  the  history ' 
of  sculpture,  adorned  in  the  beginning  by  the  lamented  Courajod,  is 
to-day  occupied  by  a  scholar  of  no  less  learning  and  of  greater  poise, 
Andre  Michel.  The  course  in  the  history  of  the  minor  arts  was  long 
conducted  by  the  regretted  Emile  Molinier,  and  now  benefits  from 
the  stores  of  critical  learning  of  MM.  Migeon  and  Marquet  de  Vas- 
selot.  Several  good  theses  have  been  produced  at  the  Ecole  du 
Louvre,  among  which  maj  be  mentioned  those  of  M.  Yitry  on  Michel 
Colombe,  of  Mile.  Pillion  on  the  doorways  of  Rouen,  of  M.  Boinet  on 
those  of  Bourges,  and  of  M.  Laran  on  the  anthropometry  of  statuar}^^ 

The  Sorbonne  in  its  turn  provided  for  instruction  in  the  history  of 
art,  in  which  that  of  France  has  its  large  part.  The  courses  were 
organized  by  a  pupil  of  the  Ecole  des  Chartes,  M.  Lemonnier,  who 
still  carries  them  on,  together  with  M.  Male,  whose  Sorbonne  thesis 
on  L'Art  religieux  en  France  became  from  the  moment  of  its  publi- 
cation a  classic  work.  The  provincial  universities  have  for  15  years 
added  the  history  of  art  to  their  curricula.  I  may  mention  the 
course  of  M.  Brutails,  pupil  of  Quicherat,  at  Bordeaux ;  at  Lyon  the 
course  of  M.  Bertaux,  pupil  of  Courajod;  at  Rennes  that  of  M.  Jor- 
dan; at  Nantes,  the  course  of  M.  Lecureux;  at  Clermont  that  of  M. 
du  Ranquet  on  art  in  Auvergne;  and  at  Grenoble  the  course  of 
M.  Marcel  Raymond. 

The  American  universities  should  keep  in  touch  with  this  progress, 
as  with  progress  in  other  lines,  and  it  would  seem  that  the  courses 
in  the  history  of  art  that  are  taught  here  should  be  made  more 
general  and  regular  and  equipped  with  the  material  for  documenta- 
tion capable  of  taking  the  place  of  the  visits  to  the  monuments  them- 

1  The  curriculum  of  the  ficole  des  Chartes  provides  a  nine-months'  course  of  two  lessons 
a  week  confined  exclusively  to  the  history  of  architecture  and  of  costume  in  France  from 
the  sixth  to  the  sixteenth  centuries.  At  the  Louvre  the  instruction  in  the  history  of 
sculpture  extends  through  a  period  of  several  years  with  one  lesson  a  week,  and  covers 
France,  Italy,  and  Germany.  At  the  ficole  des  Beaux  Arts  the  course  of  M.  Boeswillwald 
is  confined  to  France ;  that  of  M.  Magne  includes  the  architecture  of  all  countries.

TEACHING  OF   MEDIJEVAL  ARCH^OIiOGY.  Ill 

fourteenth  century  the  order  of  Citeaux  was  in  decadence,  France 
itself  ruined  by  the  Hundred  Years  War,  and  foreigners — as  in  our 
own  times  in  industrial  matters — ^new  how  to  assimilate  our  methods 
and  to  create  their  own  types,  following  out  our  instruction  and  our 
models.  Thus  there  were  a  Venetian  Gothic,  a  Tuscan  Gothic,  a 
Gothic  of  Aragon,  a  Portuguese  and  a  German  Gothic,  and  in  statu- 
ary a  Flemish  Gothic,  where  appeared  that  style,  naturalistic  and 
familiar  almost  to  triviality,  which  remained  peculiar  to  the  country. 
In  England  originality  became  apparent  during  the  course  of  the 
thirteenth  century. 

A  consequence  of  this  movement  was  that  France,  exhausted,  re- 
newed her  art  by  the  infusion  of  foreign  elements.  The  flamboyant 
style  was  created,  not,  as  the  first  Gothic,  out  of  original  elements, 
but  by  combining  architectural  elements,  borrowed  from  England, 
with  Flemish  sculpture.  At  the  end  of  the  fifteenth  century  France, 
wearying  of  this  art,  monotonous  in  its  extreme  complexity,  began  to 
look  in  the  direction  of  the  opposite  frontier;  Italy,  earlier  than 
France,  wearied  of  the  Gothic  style  which  she  had  never  really  un- 
derstood and,  returning  to  her  ancient  traditions,  produced  the 
Eenaissance.  France  abandoned  the  English  and  Flemish  imitation 
for  the  Italian,  and  the  Renaissance,  introduced  among  us  at  the  end 
of  the  fifteenth  century,  triumphed  in  the  sixteenth.  In  the  other 
European  countries,  under  English,  Flemish,  and  French  influences, 
the  flamboyant  style  was  extended,  taking  various  special  forms, 
notably  in  Germany  and  in  Portugal.  In  England  a  new  form  of 
Gothic,  the  perpendicular  style,  had  developed  since  the  end  'of  the 
fourteenth  century,  but  did  not  produce  a  school.  The  Renaissance 
was  to  spread  in  the  other  countries  as  in  France,  dethroning  the 
styles  it  met  with,  but  the  Gothic  was  never  completely  overthrown 
in  Germany  or  in  England. 

Such  is,  in  broad  outline,  the  history  of  the  art  of  the  Middle  Ages, 
and  this  expose  is  sufficient  to  demonstrate  how  necessary  it  is  for  its 
comprehension  to  regard  it  from  the  international  point  of  view. 

It  is  in  America  that  instruction  from  this  point  of  view  should 
encounter  the  least  difficulty.  America  is  not  enfeoffed  to  any 
European  country,  and  its  citizens  claim  their  ancestry  in  all  of 
Europe.  It  can  not  therefore  make  any  mistake  in  studying  the 
ancient  art  of  all  Europe,  and  it  will  naturally  hold  itself  aloof  from 
the  factions  that  are  met  with  in  the  Old  World.^ 

^To  draw  only  from  my  personal  experience — when  I  demonstrated  the  Burgundian 
origin  of  the  Gothic  style  in  Italy,  the  French  origin  of  certain  English  Gothic  monuments, 
and  the  English  origin  of  the  flamboyant  architecture,  I  encountered,  along  with  the 
unanimous  assent  of  independent  and  enlightened  minds,  certain  contradictions,  of  little 
consequence,  but  all  the  more  tenacious  because  based  upon  sentiment  rather  than  upon 
reason.  In  the  same  way,  although  the  proof  of  the  Italian  origin  of  the  French  Renais- 
sance has  long  been  demonstrated,  there  still  remains  at  least  one  person  who  obstinately 
contests  it.

TEACHING   OF    MEDIAEVAL  AKCH^OLOGY.  113 

Italian  Renaissance,  but  the  lack  which  I  pointed  out  in  the  French 
instruction  of  former  days  still  exists  in  America  and  is  regrettable. 

The  result  of  this  is  evident  in  modern  constructions  the  ideas 
of  which  have  been  taken  from  the  Middle  Ages.  The  bad  propor- 
tions of  some  of  these  show  that  the  artist  was  not  familiar  with  the 
monuments  from  which  he  drew  his  inspiration;  in  a  very  large 
number  of  others  the  structure  itself  is  good,  but  the  ornamentation 
is  badly  conceived  or  taken  from  models  not  well  chosen.  At  Mount 
Holy oke  College  there  is  a  new  library,  charming  in  its  Gothic  archi- 
tecture and  in  its  Renaissance  woodwork,  but  the  sculptured  consoles 
are  taken  from  poor  models  and  have  no  elegance.  The  institution 
has  a  museum  of  casts  containing  fine  copies  of  all  the  important 
Greek  classics,  but  only  a  single  Gothic  statue,  the  Christ  of  Amiens, 
while  there  are  no  models  of  ornamentation.  At  Yale  there  are 
numerous  casts  from  ancient  times  and  from  the  Italian  Renaissance, 
but  the  Gothic  is  hardly  represented.  At  Harvard  it  is  represented 
by  two  fine  statues  of  the  twelfth  century  from  the  great  door  of 
Chartres,  but  if  one  wishes  to  see  specimens  from  later  periods  one 
finds  only  the  collection,  very  rich  and  beautiful  it  is  true,  of  casts 
of  German  sculpture.  Inasmuch  as  from  the  twelfth  to  the  sixteenth 
centuries  the  finest  Germanic  works  are  only  more  or  less  fortunate 
imitations  of  French  statuary  the  true* models  are  lacking;  it  is  like 
a  museum  of  ancient  art  which  should  contain  only  Roman  works 
to  the  exclusion  of  Greek  art. 

It  would  appear  important,  then,  that  in  every  university  there 
should  be  several  notable  specimens  of  the  best  statuary  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  such,  for  example,  as  are  noted  in  the  following  list : 

Twelfth  century :  Statues  from  the  western  doorways  of  Chartres ;  statues  of 

Corbeil  at  Saint  Denis;  tympanum  of  Moissac. 
Thirteenth  century:  The  Beau  Dieu  of  Amiens;   the   St.   Firmin ;   bas-reliefs 

from  Notre  Dame  de  Paris ;  statues  from  the  Cathedral  of  Rheims. 
Fourteenth  century :  Statues  from  Strasbourg. 
Examples  of  the  flamboyant  style:  The  well  of  Moses  at  Dijon;  details  from 

the  tombs  of  the  Dukes  of  Burgundy;  the  head  of  St  Maurice  of  Orleans; 

the  Virgin  of  Nuremberg. 
Examples  of  ornamentation:  Twelfth  century — models  from  Avallon,  Moissac, 

Toulouse,  Chalons,  Laon,  Dommartin  (museum  of  Amiens),  etc.    Thirteenth 

century — models  from  Notre  Dame  de  Paris.     Fourteenth  century — models 

from  Saint  Urbain  de  Troyes,  from  Rheims,  etc.    Fifteenth  century — models 

from  the  Cathedral  of  Troyes,  etc. 

Finally,  a  series  of  architectural  miodels,  dismountable  reductions  in 
plaster,  would  certainly  be  a  great  aid  in  instruction.  Harvard  Uni- 
versity has  just  had  such  a  model  made  of  the  Cathedral  of  Rheims. 
The  Musee  du  Trocadero  has  a  series  of  10  models  which  are  of  the 
greatest  service,  but  which  cost  70,000  francs.  It  can  not  be  denied

PARADOXES  OF  GLADSTONE'S  POPULARITY. 


By   Edward   Porritt. 


It  is  from  two  distinct  points  of  view  that  I  approach  the  para- 
doxes of  Gladstone's  popularity.  One  is  the  standpoint  of  a  parlia- 
mentary reporter,  looking  from  the  press  gallery  of  the  House  of 
Commons  at  Gladstone's  attitude  toward  the  rank  and  file  of  his' 
supporters  of  the  Liberal  Party.  The  other  is  the  standpoint  of  an 
English  Nonconformist,  concerned  here  exclusively  with  Gladstone's 
attitude  toward  English  Free  Churchmen — toward  that  section  of 
the  people  of  England  on  whom  the  ^Yhig  and  Liberal  parties  were 
largely  dependent  for  parliamentary  support  in  the  enfranchised 
boroughs  from  the  reform  act  of  1832  to  the  disruption  of  the 
old  Whig  and  Liberal  parties  by  Gladstone's  home  rule  bill  of 
1886.  From  each  of  these  standpoints,  it  seems  to  me  that  there  is 
something  in  Gladstone's  great  popularity  that  calls  for  a  little 
explanation. 

I  will  touch  first  on  Gladstone's  attitude  toward  the  rank  and 
file  of  the  Liberal  Party  as  I  observed  it  from  a  reporter's  box  in  the 
House  of  Commons.  It  was  in  1885  that  I  first  went  into  the  gal- 
lery, and  I  was  connected  with  the  gallery  from  then  until  1892. 
Before  I  went  into  the  gallery  I  had  had  the  good  fortune  to  serve 
for  a  year  on  the  staff  of  one  of  the  St.  Louis  daily  newspapers ;  and 
that  year,  fortunately  for  me,  happened  to  be  the  year  of  the  Blaine- 
Cleveland  presidential  election.  I  had  had  a  full  share  in  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  presidential  campaign  of  1884.  It  was  not  my  fortune 
to  be  brought  in  contact  with  Cleveland,  but  I  traveled  in  the  train 
of  Blaine  and  Logan,  and  with  the  candidates  for  the  governorships 
of  Missouri  and  Illinois.  Since  1892  I  have  seen  much  more  of 
American  party  activity  and  of  various  candidates  for  the  Presi- 
dency, and  also  much  of  political  life  at  Ottawa. 

Looking  back  on  these  experiences  of  American  and  Canadian 
politics,  and  contrasting  them  with  my  observations  of  Gladstone 
from  the  reporters'  gallery  in  the  House  of  Commons,  it  seems 
to  me  that  Gladstone  in  his  attitude  toward  the  rank  and  file 
of  his  party  in  the  House  was  poles  asunder  from  the  leaders  of 
political  parties  in  this  country,  or  from  such  leaders  in  Canadian

with  Gladstone  as  a  statesman.  These  men  somethnes  suggested 
that  such  attention  on  Gladstone's  part  was  a  pose,  and  although 
I  was  among  the  men  who  admired  Gladstone — with  those  who  at 
election  times  supported  him  with  their  votes — it  was  at  times  a 
little  difficult  to  maintain  that  there  was  no  posing  when  Gladstone 
thus  turned  around  on  the  front  Opposition  bench  and  gave  notice 
to  the  House  and  the  gallery  that  he  was  settling  down  to  pay  the 
closest  attention  to  the  contribution  to  the  debate  that  was  coming 
from  the  back  benches. 

Whether  or  not  Gladstone  was  sincere  in  this  compliment  of 
ostentatious  attention,  it  was,  so  far  as  one  could  see  from  the  press 
gallery,  about  the  only  personal  attention  that  Gladstone  bestowed  on 
those  of  his  political  supporters  who  were  not  in  the  immediate 
neighborhood  of  the  bench  on  which  he  happened  for  the  timie  to  be 
established.  My  understanding  in  those  days  was  that  the  smoke 
room  knew  him  not;  and  although  my  visits  to  the  lobby  were  only 
occasional,  from  what  I  saw  when  I  did  go  there  I  think  that  there 
was  little  social  contact  between  Gladstone  and  the  rank  and  file 
of  his  party,  in  what,  to  borrow  a  phrase  from  the  old  Parliament 
House  at  Edinburgh,  may  be  described  as  the  "  Outer  House." 

The  change  from  the  political  England  of  1832  to  1867 — from 
the  England  of  the  £10  householder  voter  in  boroughs  to  the 
political  England  of  to-day  when  nearly  every  man  with  a  settled 
abode  may  be  of  the  Parliamentary  electorate — was  only  just  begin- 
ning to  show  itself  when  I  took  my  farewell  of  the  reporters'  gallery. 
The  extension  of  the  franchise  of  1884r-85  was  then  a  fact  of  not 
more  than  six  or  seven  years'  standing.  Gladstone  in  his  attitude 
to  the  rank  and  file  of  his  party,  so  it  seemed  to  me  from  the  gallery, 
belonged  to  the  era  of  Whiggism  and  Liberalism  that  lay  between 
1832  and  1867.  In  his  personal  relations  with  his  supporters  he 
apparently  came  no  nearer  the  men  who  were  not  of  his  order  than 
Melbourne,  Palmerston,  and  Russell  had  done ;  for  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  while  Gladstone  was  born  into  a  family  that  by  its  tra- 
ditions of  trade  and  business  was  akin  to  the  men  whence  the  rank 
and  file  of  his  supporters  were  drawn,  he  himself,  early  in  his  politi- 
cal life,  had  been  merged  in  the  governing  classes. 

It  was  the  school  in  which  he  had  been  trained  while,  during  the 
period  between  1832  and  1865,  he  was  still  of  the  Tory  party.  All 
his  associations,  until  after  the  disruption  of  the  Whig  and  Liberal 
parties  in  1886,  were  with  the  governing  classes ;  and  it  seemed  to  me 
from  the  distance  of  the  press  gallery  that  his  attitude  tow^ard  the 
successful  manufacturers,  merchants,  and  business  men,  who  were 
of  the  rank  and  file  of  the  Liberal  Party,  was  that  of  a  member  of  the 
governing  classes  who  regarded  it  as  natural  and  as  consistent  with 
social  usage  in  England  that  these  men  who  were  not  of  the  govern-

Oiwen,  after  his  neglect  by  (iladstone,  betook  himself  in  1884  tea

Wliy  more  Liln'mls  did  nc»t  follow  Cowen's  example  is  one  of  tlie 
contributions  that  I  slundd  like  to  make  to  this  morning's  difiriinion. 
There  are,  as  I  view  them,  two  n^asons  why  Mr.  (ihulstime's  aloof- 
nosH  did  not  affivt  the  LiUrul  Partv  more  adverselv  than  it  did 
between  18r>,s  ami  1893.  The  first  was  the  old  attitude  of  I.ilx-rals  in 
the  const ituencit-*  and  in  the  IIoiim.  of  Commons  towanl  the  leaders 
of  the  Whig  Party  and  generally  towanl  the  Whig  governing  clafwew. 
Social  cleavage  and  traditions  of  long  standing  kept  the  Whigs  and 
IjUmls  apart.  The  Whigs  at  n<i  time  in  their  history  ^niglit  to 
add  to  their  numbers.  They  were  always  y4»ahMis  to  adilto  the  num

PARADOXES    OF    GLADSTONE'S    POPULARITY.  121 

to  be  regarded  by  the  Liberals  and  Eadicals  as  the  natural  order  of 
things. 

The  second  reason  for  Gladstone's  hold  on  the  rank  and  file  of  the 
Liberal  Party  in  the  House  of  Commons  was,  I  think,  his  towering 
intellectual  eminence;  his  gradual  but  certain  progress  to  a  liberal- 
ism much  in  advance  of  the  liberalism  of  Melbourne,  Palmerston, 
and  Eussell;  his  mastery  of  parliamentary  usages,  traditions,  and 
business ;  his  increasing  reputation  for  statesmanship ;  his  sincerity, 
and,  perhaps  more  than  all,  the  loftiness  of  his  ideals  in  personal, 
social,  and  political  life. 

Looking  now  at  Gladstone  and  his  great  political  career  from  the 
standpoint  of  an  English  Nonconformist  I  feel  that  no  student  of 
parliamentary  history  of  the  nineteenth  century  will  deny  that  Glad- 
stone, as  a  leader  of  the  Liberal  Party,  at  times  sorely  tried  the 
Free  Churchmen  who  formed  the  majority  of  the  Liberal  and 
Eaclical  parties  in  the  constituencies.  His  type  of  churchmanship 
was  not  one  that  could  evoke  much  sympathy  from  the  Free  Church- 
men who  at  election  after  election,  from  1832  to  1885,  went  to  the 
polls  to  support  Whig  and  Radical  candidates.  The  Whig  Party, 
between  the  revolution  of  1688  and  the  end  of  the  long  Tory  regime 
in  1829,  had  had  the  consistent  support  of  the  Nonconformists.  In 
matters  which  affected  religious  freedom  and  religious  equality  the 
Nonconformists  had  more  to  expect  from  the  Whigs  than  from  the 
Tories.  They  got  little  from  the  Whigs  until  the  test  and  corpora- 
tion acts  were  repealed  in  1828 ;  but  that  Nonconformist  sympathies 
were  on  the  right  side  in  the  eighteenth  century  is  shown  'by  the 
opposition  of  the  Tories  to  Lord  John  Russell's  successful  movement 
for  the  repeal  of  the  test  act  which  culminated  in  1828. 

In  the  days  of  the  unreformed  House  of  Commons,  when  there 
were  not  more  than  150,000  electors  in  England  and  Wales,  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  estimate  what  was  the  value  of  the  Nonconformist  support  to 
the  Whig  Party.  But  whatever  it  was  worth  it  went  to  the  Whigs ; 
and  it  went  increasingly  to  the  Whigs  from  1832  to  1867;  in  many 
constituencies  until  as  late  as  1885.  Nonconformists  in  the  struggle 
for  religious  equality  had  nothing  to  hope  from  the  Tories;  and  it 
goes  without  saying  that  Free  Churchmen  who  were  then  and  are  still 
struggling  for  religious  equality,  were  disposed  to  support  the  party 
which  had  carried  the  reform  act  of  1832,  and  three  years  later  had 
swept  away  the  corrupt  municipalities  which  for  two  centuries  had 
buttressed  the  corrupt  system  of  parliamentary  representation. 

Keen  appreciation  of  these  reforms  of  the  thirties,  and  an  expec- 
tation of  more  help  in  the  struggle  for  religious  equality  tied  the 
Nonconformists — Congregationalists,  Baptists,  Quakers,  and  Uni- 
tarians—to the  Whig  party  from  1832  to  1866,  when  Gladstone 
succeeded  Russell  as  the  leader  of  the  Whigs  and  Liberals.     It  is

characteristics  which  Mr.  Lucy  describes,  and  those  of  which  Free 
Churchmen  were  wont  to  complain  between  1870  and  1880.  But 
the  conditions  that  favored  Gladstone — ^the  veneration  in  which 
leaders  of  the  governing  classes  were  popularly  regarded,  and  the 
eagerness  of  Free  Churchmen  to  think  the  best  of  the  Liberal  leader — 
are  not  continuing ;  and  if  any  conclusion  can  be  drawn  from  political 
tendencies  and  developments  in  England  since  the  new  century  began, 
it  is  that  no  Liberal  leader  in  the  future  will  be  able  to  hold  aloof 
from  the  rank  and  file  of  his  party  as  Gladstone  did,  or  to  continue 
to  offer  only  compromises  which  settle  nothing  in  matters  in  which 
the  issue  of  religious  freedom  and  religious  equality  is  concerned.

BISMARCK  AS  HISTORIOGRAPHER. 


By  Guy  Stanton  Fokd. 


At  the  threshold  of  his  diplomatic  career,  in  June,  1850,  Bismarck 
wrote  to  an  intimate  friend  : 

I  can  not  deny  that  I  possess  some  of  the  inclinations  of  Caliph  Omar,  not 
only  to  destroy  all  books  except  the  Christian  Koran,  but  to  annihilate  the 
means  for  producing  new  ones ;  the  art  of  printing  is,  more  than  powder,  the 
chosen  instrument  of  the  anti-Christ.^ 

There  is  in  this  passage  just  that  element  of  the  exaggeration  of  a 
passing  mood  that  makes  it  truly  Bismarckian,  for  no  statesman  of 
any  time  more  fully  appreciated  the  power  of  the  press,  either  when 
he  tried  to  throttle  it  or  when  he  forged  it  into  a  weapon  with  which 
to  strike  down  his  enemies  or  break  a  way  for  his  own  views.  One 
of  his  earliest  acts  was  to  use  the  press  to  defend  his  views  on  the 
position  of  his  class  and  to  join  with  others  of  the  conservatives  of 
1848  to  found  an  organ  for  their  party.  One  of  his  latest  was  from 
his  retirement  at  Friedrichsruh  from  1890  to  1897,  to  make  the  press 
of  Hamburg  the  mouthpiece  of  his  views  of  his  own  and  his  suc- 
cessor's policy.  Throughout  the  long  career  that  intervenes  between 
these  dates  he  made  the  press  of  Germany  and  of  foreign  countries 
the  medium  through  which  he  paralyzed  opposition  at  its  very  in- 
ception. Sometimes  he  Avrote  the  articles  himself  which  were  pub- 
lished as  the  editorials  of  his  organs;  more  frequently  he  used  such 
agents  as  Busch  and  Bucher  to  draft  the  expression  of  the  views  he 
outlined  to  them,  or  as  frequently  he  trusted  to  a  faithful  and  sub- 
sidized press  to  defend  his  cause. 

Nor  was  it  the  journalist  alone  to  whom  Bismarck  supplied  mate- 
rial. He  appreciated  fully  the  A^alue  of  more  sober  and  substantial 
presentations  of  his  policy  and  personality.  From  his  letters  and 
papers  and  from  the  records  of  his  office  he  generously  allowed  men 
like  Hahn,  Kohl,  and  Poschinger  to  supply  the  press  and  the  public 
with  such  a  mass  of  material  that  it  is  safe  to  say  that  no  great  man 
ever  did  his  destined  work  in  the  daylight  of  such  full  publicity  as

control  material  consists  in  the  many  volumes  of  Bismarck's  speeches 
and  his  correspondence  official  and  private,  similar  material  for  many 
of  his  contemporaries  such  as  the  Gerlachs,  Manteuffel,  Boon,  Moltke, 
and  William  I,  the  personal  reminiscences  of  those  who  knew  him  in- 
timately as  did  Busch  and  Abeken  and  the  Keudells,  or  who  were  wit- 
nesses or  coadjutors  in  some  of  his  greatest  acts,  as  Charles,  King 
of  Eoumania,  and  the  Crown  Prince,  later  Emperor  Frederick  III. 
In  addition  there  are  the  volumes  in  which  the  Frenchmen  con- 
nected with  the  events  leading  up  to  1870,  men  like  Benedetti,  Chau- 
dordy,  Grammont,  Kothan,  Ollivier,  and  Lebrun,  have  revealed  with 
amazing  frankness  their  part  in  the  great  catastrophe  of  the  Second 
Empire. 

It  may  be  well  to  recall  briefly  how  the  "  Recollections  and  Remi-

effect  on  his  view  of  his  period,  he  was  temperamentally  a  man  who 
put  himself  so  thoroughly  into  the  cause  he  espoused  that  he  had 
no  explanation  for  opposition  but  blindness  and  baseness.  From 
such  a  temperament  whose  intensity  in  all  things  partially  explains 
Bismarck's  success,  there  could  come  no  adequate  or  objective  account 
of  men  and  measures.  Indeed,  it  may  be  pointed  out  in  passing  that 
of  the  scores  of  men  whose  pen  portraits  he  has  drawn  in  the 
Gedanken  und  Erinnerungen  one  may  count  on  the  fingers  of  one 
hand  those  whom  Bismarck  has  sketched  with  the  lingering  touch  of 
loving  remembrance.  The  men  who  had  opposed  him  grew  in  his 
memory  to  the  stature  of  parties  and  are  preserved  to  an  un- 
earned immortality  by  a  pen  which  feared  and  spared  none.  In  the 
Eeflections  and  Reminiscences,  the  tame  house  cat  of  Sybel's  his- 
tory (the  phrase  is  Hans  Delbriick's)  becomes  the  royal  Bengal 
tiger. 

Had  training  and  temperament  and  purpose  inclined  Bismarck 
toward  a  serious  effort  at  writing  history,  the  difficulties  which  he 
once  stated  to  Busch  would  have  been  enough  to  deter  him  from  the 
attempt.  "  I  have,"  he  said,  "  no  documents ;  and  even  if  I  remember 
the  main  points  quite  clearty,  one  can  not,  after  all,  carry  in  one's 
head  every  detail  of  what  has  happened  in  the  course  of  thirty 
years."  ^ 

The  most  and  the  best  that  Bismarck  could  give  his  public  was  a 
disquisition  on  politics  as  illustrated  in  his  own  career,  and  this, 
fundamentally,  is  what  the  Reflections  and  Reminiscences  are.  They 
are  at  bottom  interested  in  two  great  phases  of  his  activity — foreign 
relations  and  his  relations  with  his  sovereign.  Things  that  are  past 
and  gone  have  no  vital  interest  for  him  except  as  they  relate  to 
these  two  great  questions  or  others  more  or  less  connected  with  them. 
Controlled  by  the  interests  that  had  dominated  his  thought  for  a 
lifetime,  he  discoursed  to  Bucher  that  his  own  country  and  future 
generations  might  understand  his  career  and  policies  as  he  saw  them 
in  the  retrospect  of  old  age.  The  pragmatic  and  the  personal  are 
the  hallmark  of  the  Recollections  and  Reminiscences. 

I  need  not  take  the  time  before  this  audience  to  estimate  the 
privilege  it  is  to  have  such  a  work  from  such  a  master  of  politics. 
Neither  do  I  need  to  remind  you  how  much  that  the  historian  would 
gladly  know  about  is  passed  over  in  silence  in  a  book  composed  in 
the  haphazard  manner  described  above  and  controlled  by  principles 
of  selection  which  were  far  from  covering  all  Bismarck's  activity 
cither  before  or  after  1879.  It  is  enough  to  point  out  how  little 
logical  sequence  the  parts  of  many  chapters  have;  the  Schleswig- 
Holstein  matter,  for  example,  is  scattered  through  the  paragraphs

and  Reminiscences  have  no  answer.  Indeed  through  the  haze  of 
later  years,  Bismarck,  who  was  no  more  conscious  than  are  most  of 
us  of  the  stages  by  which  we  become  what  we  are,  seems  to  himself 
to  have  been  if  not  a  German,  at  least  something  more  than  a  Prus- 
sian much  earlier  than  1866.  The  triology  with  which  the  student 
of  personality  is  forever  interested,  "  das  Ererbte,  das  Erlebte,  das 
Erlernte,"  have  here  all  fused  in  the  white  heat  of  "  das  Erstrebte." 

Despite  the  master  touch  of  the  few  sentences  with  which  Bismarck 
sketches  his  youth  and  in  the  succeeding  chapters  displays  the  in- 
imitable power  of  the  born  raconteur,  it  is  fortunate  for  us  that  our 
knowledge  of  his  early  political  views  rests  upon  the  more  substan- 
tial grounds  of  contemporary  material.  The  Bismarck  of  the  Ee- 
flections  and  Reminiscences  is  a  Bismarck  free  from  the  prejudices 
of  the  landed  nobility  from  which  he  sprang,  even  touched  in  his 
youth  with  liberalism  to  the  point  of  a  theoretic  belief  in  republican- 
ism. It  is  a  Bismarck  whose  last  word  is  not  the  Prussian  monarchy 
in  its  absolutism.  It  is  a  Bismarck  so  different  from  his  class  and 
age  that  he  stands  above  parties.  The  Bismarck  revealed  in  his 
speeches  and  letters  to  the  newspapers  between  1847  and  1850  is  a 
Bismarck  fresh  from  eight  years  as  a  Pomeranian  country  noble,  full 
of  faith  in  his  class  as  the  true  conservers  of  political  and  social  order, 
a  champion  of  the  monarchy  by  the  grace  of  God,  looking  askance  at 
parliaments  and  free  press,  anxious  to  revive  the  guild  system,  con- 
tending for  the  exclusion  of  the  Jews  from  high  office  in  a  Christian 
state  and  firmly  opposing  civil  marriage.^  It  is  a  Bismarck  so  true 
to  the  heritage  of  his  class,  so  close  to  the  soil  he  tills,  so  filled  with 
the  religious  spirit  of  the  group  with  whom  he  has  neighbored  that 
he  seems  more  mediaeval  than  the  Romanticism  whose  language  some- 
times echoes  in  the^  early  speeches  of  this  greatest  of  modern  "  Real- 
politiker."  ^ 

It  would  take  me  too  far  afield  to  indicate  those  views  expressed 
in  his  earlier  speeches  which  pertained  only  to  the  Bismarck  of 
1847  to  1850,  and  were  later  to  be  sloughed  off.  It  would  be  inter- 
esting but  beyond  the  province  of  this  paper  to  push  the  analysis 
of  speeches  and  autobiography  to  that  point  where  the  same  man 
appeared  in  both  and  the  subjective  truth  of  the  memoirs  would 
appear  despite  the  errors  of  positive  statement.  My  intention  is 
simply  to  point  out  that  Bismarck's  reminiscences,  like  all  others, 

1  Cf.  Bohm  und  Dove,  Fiirst  Bismarck  als  Redner,  v.  I,  passim,  or  KoWs  edition,  Die 
politischen  Reden  des  Ftirsten  Bismarck,  v.  I,  passim. 

-  Cf .  an  essay  by  Max  Lenz,  "Bismarck's  Religion,"  in  Deutsche  Bticherei,  vol.  18  (re- 
printed from  Die  Woche,  April  6,  13,  and  27,  1901).  Most  suggestive  material  on  this 
point  is  to  be  found  in  Reuss,  Adolph  von  Thadden-Trieglaff,  Berlin,  1894.  Meinecke  has 
an  interesting  essay  on  Bismarck's  relations  to  the  religious  group  represented  by  Thadden 
In  Hist.  Zeit.,  vol.  90.  Baumgarten,  Bismarck's  Stellung  zur  Religion,  Tiibingen,  1900,  is 
a  little  work  of  merit,  but  needs  to  be  supplemented  by  Bismarck's  Briefe  an  seine  Braut 
und  Gattin.

is  it  in  the  full  text  which  is  given  by  Madame  Kobell  in  her  Konig 
Liidwig  II  und  Fiirst  Bismarck.^  In  the  chapter  on  the  Kultur- 
kampf,  Bismarck  states  that  Falk,  the  minister  of  worship,  was  not 
forced  out  of  office,  but  resigned  in  1879  largely  because  of  the  diffi- 
culties which  arose  from  his  attitude  in  matters  relating  to  the 
Lutheran  Church.^  Bismarck  concludes  this  statement  with  an  ex- 
pression of  surprise  that  Falk  had  never  come  to  his  rescue  and  made 
public  the  true  situation.  Two  months  after  the  publication  of  the 
Keflections  and  Eeminiscences,  Falk,  who  was  still  living,  published 
a  copy  of  his  letter  of  resignation  and  a  copy  of  a  letter  he  placed 
in  Bismarck's  hands  at  that  time,  which  Bismarck  and  not  Falk 
was  to  make  public  at  such  a  time  as  Bismarck  thought  proper.^ 
From  these  communications  it  appears  that  policies  at  the  basis  of  the 
May  laws  to  which  Falk  rigidly  adhered  were  at  the  bottom,  of  his 
resignation,  although  differences  with  the  superior  consistory  of  the 
Lutheran  Church  are  made  unduly  prominent.  It  further  appears 
that  though  his  resignation  was  not  technically  a  forced  one,  it  was 
not  unwelcome  to  Bismarck. 

This  is  only  one  point  from  the  chapters  of  which  Bucher  said 
when  he  was  receiving  them  from  Bismarck's  dictation :  "  It  is  not 
alone  that  his  memory  is  defective  *  *  *  but  he  begins  also 
intentionally  to  misrepresent  even  plain  and  well-established  facts 
and  occurrences.  He  will  not  admit  his  own  share  in  anything  that 
has  failed.  *  *  *  He  insists  that  he  is  in  no  way  responsible 
for  the  Kulturkampf,  that  he  did  nothing  to  oppose  Pio  Nono's 
views  respecting  the  infallibility  *  *  *  although  everybody 
knows  the  contrary  to  be  the  fact."  * 

Of  the  errors  arising^  from  confusion  in  an  attempt  to  survey  a  gen- 
eral situation,  the  chapter  on  the  Crimean  War  and  the  parties  at  the 
court  of  Frederick  William  IV  may  be  taken  as  an  example.^  The 
chapter  represents  Bismarck,  then  at  Frankfort  as  Prussia's  repre- 
sentative to  the  Diet  of  the  Confederation,  standing  above  the  parties 
at  court.  One  of  these  parties  was  favorable  to  an  alliance  with  the 
western  powers  against  Russia  and  the  second  wanted  neutrality  and 
in  a  general  way  favored  Russia.  Bismarck,  according  to  his  ac- 
count, is  frequently  summoned  by  the  King  as  a  referee  between  the 
contending  factions.  He  dates  and  locates  several  interviews  with 
the  King  and  the  Prince  of  Prussia  who  was  inclined  toward  the 
western  powers.  Lenz  has  subjected  the  chapter  to  a  thorough  exami- 
nation.^    He  is  able  to  show  that  Bismarck  was  not  above  parties,  but

myself  handed  it  to  the  general  in  Madrid  and  that  the  world  is  now 
well  aware  of  it  through  Eothan  (Grammont).  *  *  *  The  whole 
candidature  of  the  Prince  of  Hohenzollern  is  now  represented  by 
Bismarck  as  having  been  purely  a  private  affair  of  the  court,  a  mere 
family  matter,  although  he  was  obliged  to  confess  that  it  was  dis- 
I  cussed  at  a  sitting  of  the  ministry."  ^  In  the  Kefiections  and  Remi- 
niscences Bismarck  does,  however,  deny  the  ministerial  session  and 
doubts  whether  he  really  drew  up  the  letter  to  Prim.  This  is,  of 
course,  simply  taking  advantage  of  technicalities  and  maintaining 
the  fiction  set  up  by  Bismarck  at  the  time,  namely,  that  the  whole 
matter  as  far  as  the  Prussian  Government  was  concerned  had  no 
official  character.^ 

Passing  over  these  chapters  and  others  on  the  period  after  1870 
with  similar  limitations,  I  want,  in  conclusion,  to  summarize  briefly 
the  results  of  the  criticism  of  the  chapter  on  Nikolsburg  (Chapter 
XX),  to  which  Lenz,  Marcks,  Thimme,  Busch,  and  Fester  have  de- 
voted their  attention.^  Omitting  the  errors  in  dating  interviews  and 
conferences  and  other  minor  matter,  we  have  in  this  chapter  Bis- 
marck^s  own  account,  sketchy  and  very  incomplete,  of  the  negotia- 
tions with  Austria  in  1866.  In  its  large  outlines  it  represents  Bis- 
marck clear  in  his  mind  as  to  the  future  combinations  by  which 
Germany,  including  even  Austria,  might  be  (as  it  was,  in  fact,  later) 
rallied  around  Prussia  in  union  or  alliance.  From  this  German- 
national  standpoint  he  is  more  interested  in  the  possibilities  of  a 
north  German  confederation  than  in  annexations.  In  formulating 
the  program  of  annexations  he  is  obliged  to  restrain  the  King's 
cupidity  and  the  enthusiasm  of  the  military  staff.  Benedetti,  the 
envoy  of  Napoleon,  is  represented  as  immediately  approving  the 
extensive  series  of  annexations  which  Bismarck  outlined  to  him  in 
their  first  interview  at  midnight,  July  11-12.  Later,  when  he  is 
negotiating  with  Karolyi,  the  Austrian  envoy,  Benedetti  is  repre- 
sented as  a  factor,  and  a  disturbing  one,  though  Bismarck  gives 
us  to  understand  that  he  is  simply  playing  with  Napoleon.  It 
is  in  this  situation  that  he  places  the  dramatic  account  of  the 
interview  of  July  23  on  the  question  of  concluding  peace  as  Bis- 
marck advocated  it,  or  of  pushing  on  to  Vienna  and  dictating  the 
harsher  terms   which   the   King   and   military   are   represented   as 

^  Busch,  II,  566.  After  Bucher's  death  Busch,  who  was  fearful  that  his  aged  chief 
would  persist  in  denying  the  Prim  letter,  took  occasion  to  let  him  know  that  Bucher  had 
told  him  the  whole  story.  Cf.  Busch,  II,  568.  A  bolder  denial  of  the  ministerial  sitting 
was  made  by  Bismarck  in  the  Hamburger  Nachrichten,  Feb.  20,  1895.  See  Penzler,  Bis- 
marck nach  seiner  Entlassung,  Leipzig,  1897,  VI,  22,  and  Bismarck  Jahrb.,  II,  638.

from  weakness  rather  than  as  a  cover  for  more  extensive  readjust- 
ments in  favor  of  France.^  Further,  Benedetti  was  at  this  time  under 
instructions  from  Paris  to  refrain  from  all  active  participation  in 
the  negotiations.^  It  was  under  these  conditions,  then,  that  Bismarck 
must  have  entered  the  conference  which  he  dates  in  the  Reflections 
and  Reminiscences  as  of  July  23 — the  conference  in  which  the  King 
and  the  rapacious  military  overbore  him  and  drove  him  to  a  break- 
down in  weeping.  The  situation,  as  Lenz  points  out,  does  not  corre- 
spond at  all  with  such  a  dramatic  conflict.  This  is  further  evident 
when  it  is  added  that  we  have  on  this  very  same  date,  July  23,  letters 
from  Moltke  and  Roon  to  their  wives,  letters  which  reveal  the  most 
pacific  inclinations  and  hopes.  We  know  also  that  the  Crown  Prince 
was  at  no  time  in  favor  of  a  policy  of  ruthless  aggression.  Of  Bis- 
marck's memorandum  to  the  King,  prepared  on  the  24th  and  sup- 
posedly the  one  referred  to  by  Bismarck  in  his  account  of  the  con- 
ference, which  he  dates  on  the  23d,  Sybel  prints  most  if  not  all.^  It 
contains  no  allusion  to  any  intention  to  desert  the  King  in  any  crisis 
then  existing.  Of  the  King's  marginal  comment  we  have  two  other 
versions — one  from  Sybel,*  who  saw  the  original  in  the  archives 
and  may  have  discreetly  softened  his  version,  and  another  from  Bis- 
marck's own  lips.^  Both  differ  essentially  from  the  wording  in  the 
Reflections  and  Reminiscences,  and  may  be  held  fully  as  trustworthy 
until  the  archives  are  opened  and  we  know  the  truth. ^ 

In  concluding  the  first  section  of  this  paper,  devoted  to  certain 
general  limitations  on  the  historical  value  of  Bismarck's  Reflections 
and  Reminiscences,  I  said  that  they  were  to  be  used  with  the  same 
caution  which  is  applicable  to  this  class  of  literature  as  a  whole.  In 
concluding  this  survey  of  certain  of  the  critical  studies  of  specific 
chapters,  I  think  I  may  go  further  and  say  that  they  are  to  be  used 
with  more  caution  than  most  memoir  literature.  We  may  well  agree, 
it  seems  to  me,  with  Busch's  remark  to  Bucher  when  the  latter  was 
uttering  the  complaints  quoted  above  as  to  Bismarck's  methods  in 
preparing  his  memoirs :  "  He  was  not  qualified  to  be  a  historian.  He 
was  to  such  a  large  extent  the  author  of  the  history  of  the  past 
decades  that  it  might  be  called  his  history,  but  he  did  not  under- 
stand how  to  relate  it."  ^

^  In  two  frequently  expressed  wishes  of  those  who  have  dealt  with  the  topic  of  this 
paper  I  most  heartily  concur,  namely,  that  the  Prussian  Government  may  soon  see  its 
way  clear  to  open  archives  now  closed  to  scholars  and  that  we  may  soon  have  a  critical 
edition  of  Bismarck's  Gedanken  und  Erinnerungen  which  will  show  us  its  genesis  more 
clearly  by  giving  the  various  versions  upon  which  the  final  readings  are  based.

SOME  ASPECTS  OF  POSTAL  EXTENSION  INTO  THE  WEST.

It^is  not  easy  to  overemphasize  the  difficulty  of  transmitting  news 
and  information  throughout  the  United  States  in  the  years  im- 
mediately following  the  adoption  of  the  Constitution.  The  necessity 
of  providing  means  of  communication  in  the  older  districts,  east  of 
the  Allegheny  Mountains,  for  purposes  of  business  and  social  con- 
venience, was  but  one  phase  of  the  problem.  Thousands  had  mi- 
grated to  the  interior,  far  from  the  customary  route  of  trade  and 
travel  through  the  seaboard  cities,  and  to  bring  these  interior  districts 
into  communication  with  the  older  areas  of  settlement  was  a  political 
as  well  as  a  social  and  economic  necessity.  This  was  especially  true 
of  the  region  west  of  the  mountains,  where  the  people  were  thought 
to  be  wavering  in  their  loyalty  to  the  new  Government.  It  was  under- 
stood that  without  public  and  regular  means  of  conveyance  news- 
papers could  not  penetrate  that  distant  region  nor  could  a  local 
press  develop  there.  Without  this  aid  in  bringing  about  a  better 
understanding  of  the  purposes  of  the  National  Government  it  was 
feared  that  the  people  of  the  West  would  be  influenced  by  intriguers 
and  demagogues  and  that  tendencies  toward  separation  might  be  in- 
creased rather  than  diminished.^ 

It  is  the  purpose  of  this  paper  to  point  out  the  political  services 
of  the  posts  in  the  early  years  of  the  constitutional  period  with 
special  reference  to  the  assistance  rendered  in  the  circulation  of 
newspapers  and  in  the  development  of  a  local  press  in  the  western 
States  and  Territories. 

Prior  to  the  Revolution  the  post  roads  were  limited  in  extent  and 
importance.  The  post  office  was  regarded  as  a  source  of  revenue  to 
the  Crown,  and  in  accordance  with  this  theory  post  roads  had  been 
established  only  where  they  were  profitable.^  At  the  close  of  the 
colonial  period,  therefore,  they  extended  from  Maine  to  Georgia, 
connecting  the  principal   commercial  centers  on  the  Atlantic  sea-

this  sum  about  £3,000  a  year  was  contributed  by  the  American  posts.

rates  of  postage  to  facilitate  correspondence  between  "  the  extremes  " 
and  the  National  Capital.  Although  not  entirely  converted  from  the 
notion  that  the  post  office  should  yield  a  surplus  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Treasury,  Osgood  realized  that  the  accommodation  of  3,000,000 
people  settled  over  so  great  an  extent  of  territory  would  necessitate 
giving  up  a  large  proportion  of  the  revenue.^  His  successor,  Picker- 
ing, urged,  with  still  less  respect  for  a  surplus,  that  all  measures 
possible  should  be  taken  to  promote  the  circulation  of  "  useful  in- 
formation concerning  the  great  interests  of  the  Union."  ^ 

Of  similar  import  Avere  the  utterances  in  Congress.  It  was  stated, 
in  1791,  that  "  the  establishment  of  the  post  office  is  agreed  to  be  for 
no  other  purpose  than  the  conveyance  of  information  into  every  part 
of  the  Union."  It  was  maintained  that  information  conveyed  by 
newspapers  sent  by  members  of  the  House  had  proved  highly  serv- 
iceable to  the  Govermnent;  that  wherever  the  newspapers  had  ex- 
tended, or  even  the  correspondence  of  the  members,  no  opposition 
had  been  made  to  the  laws;  and  that  the  contrary  was  experienced 
in  those  parts  to  which  information  had  not  penetrated,  and  even 
there  the  opposition  ceased  as  soon  as  the  principles  on  which  the 
laws  had  been  passed  were  made  known  to  the  people.^  So,  in  1797, 
on  the  suggestion  of  the  Postmaster  General  that  it  might  have  "  a 
happy  tendency  to  counteract  prejudices  and  inspire  confidence  in 
the  Government,"  in  the  region  recently  affected  by  the  Whisky 
Rebellion,  Congress  extended  a  post  road  to  the  back  coimtry  of 
Virginia.*  Again,  in  1797,  it  was  said  that  "  no  estimate  could  be 
formed  of  the  produce  and  advantage  of  roads  in  some  situations ;  " 
that  it  was  much  to  the  credit  of  the  United  States  that  information 
was  sent  by  newspapers  into  obscure  parts.  It  was  maintained  that 
while  the  receipts  of  the  post  office  met  the  expenses  every  post  road 
in  existence  should  be  continued  and  as  many  new  ones  established  as 
the  receipts  would  support,  "  as  it  was  not  proper  that  any  money, 
on  such  a  laudable  establishment,  should  be  put  into  the  Treasury."  ■' 
Instead,  therefore,  of  abolishing  unproductive  post  roads  in  the 
western  country.  Congress  adopted  the  suggestion  of  Postmaster 
General  Habersham,  who,  in  reporting  the  deficits  on  certain  roads, 
remarked  as  follows: 

The  unproductive  routes  in  distant  parts  of  the  Union  are  not  noticed,  as 
those  who  are  remotely  situated  appear  to  have  a  just  claim  to  that  liberal 
establishment  of  post  roads  which  has  been  extended  in  every  direction  through

POSTAL  EXTENSION  INTO   THE   WEST.  147 

papers  to  the  mails,  fixing  a  reasonable  rate  of  postage,  providing  for 
the  security  of  the  papers  during  transmission,  authorizing  free  ex- 
change of  papers  among  all  editors  or  publishers,  and,  lastly,  provid- 
ing an  "  express  service  "  between  the  eastern  cities  and  the  principal 
place  in  the  West.^ 

The  most  notable  feature  of  this  legislation,  aside  from  the  admis- 
sion of  the  newspapers  to  the  mails,  was  the  provision  for  free  car- 
riage of  exchanges  between  publishers.  This  provision  applied,  as 
did  the  others,  to  the  entire  country,  but  in  no  other  part  of  the  Union 
were  the  results  more  interesting  and  noteworthy  than  in  the  Western 
States  and  Territories.  Free  exchanges  were  to  the  publishers  of  the 
interior  what  the  various  news  services  are  to  the  press  of  to-day. 
From  the  exchangee  were  clipped  the  items  which  filled  the  columns 
of  the  local  publications.  If  the  exchanges  failed  to  arrive  the  editor 
was  forced  to  glean  those  already  clipped  for  a  previous  issue,  or  re- 
sort was  had  to  other  expedients  for  filling  the  columns  of  his  paper. 
Thus  the  editor  of  the  Palladium  (Frankfort,  Ky.),  March  13,  1800, 
states  that  as  the  mail  of  yesterday  brought  nothing  of  importance  he 
has  decided  to  publish  George  Washington's  will.  For  similar  rea- 
sons the  editor  of  the  Alabama  Republican,  December  6,  1822,  fills  his 
columns  with  an  article  from  the  Edinburgh  Review  on  the  African 
slave  trade. 

But  this  is  not  all;  it  is  difficult  to  see  how  the  western  papers, 
above  all  others,  could  have  existed  without  free  exchanges.  Not 
only  were  thej^  more  dependent  on  them,  owing  to  their  distance  from 
the  sources  of  information  in  the  older  districts,  but  the  slender  re- 
sources of  most  western  papers  would  have  been  seriously  taxed  had 
the  exchanges  been  subjected  to  postage.  It  was  proposed  in  1822  to 
subject  all  newspapers  to  postage,  exchanges  included,  but  the  measure 
was  opposed  with  great  vigor,  and  it  was  stoutly  maintained  that 
such  a  measure  would  crush  one-half  of  the  newspapers  of  the  coun- 
try. Congress  was  advised  by  the  editors  not  to  resort  to  "  unconsti- 
tutional means  of  stopping  in  any  degree  the  sources  of  that  informa- 
tion which  distinguishes  Americans  from  the  people  of  all  other  coun- 
tries." 2  A  proposal  to  reduce  the  number  of  free  exchanges  for  each 
publisher  to  50  met  with  an  equally  unfavorable  reception,  being 
denounced  as  absurd,  preposterous,  and  unlucky,  and  as  aiming  a 
"  direct  blow  at  the  strongest  bulwark  of  free  government."  ^ 

It  may  be  worth  while  to  mention  briefly  the  influence,  although 
indirect,  of  the  system  of  exchanges  upon  problems  of  transportation 
in  the  early  West.     Almost  immediately  after  the  passage  of  the  act 

iThe  first  important  nieasure  was  the  act  of  Feb.  20,  1792,  U  .S.  Stat.  L.,  I.  232  ff. 
The  last  mentioned  was  that  of  July  2,  1836,  establishing,  among  other  things,  an  express 
service  mentioned  above,  V,  80.

POSTAL  EXTENSION  INTO   THE   WEST.*  149 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  encouragement  of  a  local  press  in 
the  interior  was  one  of  the  objects  sought  by  the  legislation  of  1792 
and  subsequent  years.  It  remains,  therefore,  to  discuss  briefly  the 
development  of  a  western  press,  since  by  this  the  political  services 
rendered  by  the  posts  may,  in  part,  be  estimated.  There  were  few 
papers  west  of  the  mountains  before  the  year  1800,^  and  in  this  re- 
spect the  growth  of  the  western  press  corresponds  closely  to  the 
growth  of  the  postal  service  in  the  same  area.  Several  acts  had 
been  passed  affecting  the  posts  in  the  West,  but  they  dealt  more  par- 
ticularly with  the  problem  of  finding  available  routes  across  the 
mountains  to  Ohio,  Kentucky,  and  western  Tennessee.^  At  the  open- 
ing of  the  year  1800  the  postal  establishment  in  the  West  consisted, 
therefore,  of  but  two  important  post  roads:  one  from  Wheeling, 
passing  over  Zane's  Eoad  to  Limestone  or  Maysville,  Ky.,  and  thence  ^ 
to  the  more  important  places  in  the  northern  and  central  part  of  the 
State.  The  other  descended  the  Shenandoah  Valley,  in  Virginia,  and 
passing  through  Knoxville  extended  as  far  as  Nashville,  Tenn.^  A 
variety  of  causes  had  operated  to  prevent  the  sending  off  of  any  con- 
siderable number  of  cross  posts,*  and  the  entire  postal  establishment 
fell  far  short  of  accommodating  the  settled  portions  of  the  West.^ 

In  1800  large  additions  were  made  to  the  mileage  of  the  post  roads 
in  the  West  and  many  important  postal  connections  were  established, 
especially  between  the  National  Capital  at  Washington  and  the  seats 
of  government  for  the  States  and  organized  Territories  in  the  West. 
Numerous  local  cross  posts  were  created  connecting  the  county  towns 
with  the  State  capitals,^  while  connections  were  also  established 
between  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and  the  districts  north  of  the  Ohio 
River.  So  extensive  were  these  additions  that  in  1801  the  Post- 
master General  described  the  situation  in  these  words :  "  The  cross- 
roads are  now  established  so  extensively  that  there  is  scarcely  a  vil- 
lage courthouse  or  public  place  of  any  consequence  but  is  accommo- 
dated with  the  mail."  '^  From  this  time  postal  extensions  in  the  West 
were  more  frequent  and  maintained  a  more  nearly  even  pace  with  the 
extension  of  the  frontier. 

Corresponding  to  this  increase  in  postal  facilities,  the  growth  of 
the  western  press  was  more  rapid  from  the  opening  of  the  nineteenth 
century.  The  additional  cross  posts  greatly  facilitated  circulation 
while  the  improved  service  with  the  Eastern  States  rendered  the

the  post  roads  for  the  early  constitutional  period.  , 

*  The  principal  reason  was  the  decline  in  the  receipts  of  the  post  office,  owing  chiefly 
to  the  unsettled  condition  of  foreign  affairs.  The  prospect  of  a  readjustment  of  the  post 
roads  following  the  removal  of  the  capital  to  Washington  was  also  a  cause  of  delay.

SIDE  LIGHTS  ON  THE  MISSOURI  COMPROMISES. 


By  Frank  Heywood  Hodder. 


The  Missouri  compromises  have  been  fully  exploited  on  the  Fed- 
eral side,  but  from  the  standpoint  of  the  Territory  little  or  nothing 
has  been  written  respecting  them.  Missouri  newspapers  drew  their 
reports  of  the  progress  of  events  from  their  eastern  exchanges  and 
from  occasional  private  letters.  The  mails  required  from  four  to 
five  weeks  in  transmission,  and  when  they  failed,  as  they  frequently 
did,  the  Missouri  editor  filled  his  columns  with  ''  elegant  extracts  " 
from  British  classics.  Proceedings  in  Congress  were  reprinted  from 
the  National  Intelligencer,  but  on  one  occasion  "  Mr.  Gales  was  indis- 
posed "  and  the  debates  were  unreported  for  a  week.^  There  was 
great  disappointment  in  the  Territory  when  the  Fifteenth  Congress 
adjourned  without  agreeing  upon  an  enabling  act,  and  indignation 
meetings  were  held  in  several  counties.  A  meeting  in  Montgomery 
County,  April  28,  1819, 

Resolved,  That  the  restriction  attempted  to  be  imposed  upon  the  people  of 
this  Territory  as  a  condition  of  their  admission  into  the  Union  is  a  daring 
stretch  of  power,  an  usurpation  of  our  sacred  rights,  unprecedented,  unconsti- 
tutional, and  in  open  violation  of  the  third  article  of  the  treaty  of  cession  en- 
tered into  with  France.* 

Similar  resolutions  were  passed  in  Boone's  Lick  County  in  June, 
in  Washington  County  in  July,  and  on  September  14  the  inhabitants 
of  New  Madrid  County  declared  that  they  would  be  admitted  to 
the  Union  on  an  equal  footing  with  the  original  States  or  not  at 
all.^  Later  in  the  month  a  petition  was  gotten  up,  which  proposed 
to  solve  the  difficulty  by  dividing  the  Territory  by  the  line  of  the 
Missouri  River  and  erecting  the  northern  part  into  a  free  and  the 
southern  part  into  a  slave  State,  but  the  suggestion  found  little 
favor. 

Editorial  comment  varied  with  the  point  of  view.  The  Missouri 
Intelligencer,  published  at  Boone's  Lick,  attributed  the  failure  of

MISSOUKI  COMPROMISES.  155 

ing  masters  from  their  beds  amid  the  flames  of  their  houses  and  the  cries  of 
their  slaughtered  children. 

It  was  darkest  before  the  dawn.  Four  days  later  the  news  came 
that  the  Missouri  bill  had  passed  without  restriction  as  to  slavery 
nearly  a  month  before.  The  transition  from  despair  to  ecstacy  was 
instant.  The  Southern  members  had  stood  "united  as  a  Spartan 
band,  forty  days  in  the  pass  of  Thermopylse,  defending  the  People  of 
Missouri,  the  Treaty  of  Cession,  and  the  Constitution  of  the  Repub- 
lic." To  the  Northern  members,  who  had  voted  against  restriction, 
there  should,  in  the  language  of  Barbour,  "  be  erected  an  imperish- 
able monument  of  everlasting  fame."  ^  April  30  the  town  of  St. 
Louis  was  illuminated  and  transparencies  displayed  the  names  of 
the  Northern  men  who  had  voted  against  restriction.  The  name  of 
Senator  Lanman,  of  Connecticut,  who  had  been  burned  in  effigy  at- 
Hartford,  was  most  conspicuous.  Some  proposed  to  burn  an  effigy 
of  Senator  King,  of  New  York,  by  way  of  retaliation,  but  better 
counsels  prevailed.^ 

In  the  ensuing  constitutional  election  slavery  was  the  paramount 
issue.  In  St.  Louis  Judge  John  B.  C.  Lucas,  whose  son  Benton  had 
killed  in  a  duel,  headed  an  independent  ticket  "  opposed  to  the 
further  introduction  of  slaves  into  Missouri."  Rector,  Sullivan, 
Pratte,  Barton,  McNair,  Bates,  Pierre  Chouteau,  jr.,  and  Riddick, 
nominated  by  the  "  lawyer  junto,"  made  up  the  opposing  ticket. 
Benton  aspired  to  an  election,  but,  failing  of  a  regular  nomination, 
withdrew  from  the  contest.^  The  Missouri  Gazette  and  the  St.  Louis 
Enquirer  were  the  respective  organs  of  the  two  factions.  Among 
the  workers  on  the  antislavery  side  was  Benjamin  Lundy.  The  elec- 
tion was  held  from  the  1st  to  the  3d  of  May.  In  St.  Louis  the  pro- 
slavery  vote  was  double  that  of  the  restrictionists.  Of  the  39  dele- 
gates elected  to  the  convention  in  the  whole  Territory,  only  one  was 
opposed  to  slavery.*  The  result  seems  to  have  been  due  not  so  much 
to  any  very  strong  sentiment  in  favor  of  slavery  as  to  a  fierce  resent- 
ment bred  by  the  congressional  attempt  at  dictation. 

The  constitutional  convention  met  in  St.  Louis  June  12,  the  day 
prescribed  by  the  enabling  act,  and  organized  by  the  election  of  David 
Barton  as  president.  It  "  has  passed  into  history  "  that  the  consti- 
tution was  chiefly  the  work  of  Barton.     Darby  says  that  "  the  most 

1  Six  Senators  and  14  Representatives  from  Northern  States  voted  against  restriction. 
The  Senators  were  Hunter,  of  Rhode  Island ;  Lanman,  of  Connecticut ;  Parrott,  of  New 
Hampshire ;  Palmer,  of  Vermont ;  and  Edwards  and  Thomas,  of  Illinois.  The  Representa- 
tives were  Hill,  Holmes,  Mason,  and  Shaw,  of  Massachusetts  ;  Eddy,  of  Rhode  Island  ;  Foot 
and  Stevens,  of  Connecticut ;  Meigs  and  Storrs,  of  New  York ;  Bloomfield,  Kinsey,  and 
Smith,  of  New  Jersey ;  and  Baldwin  and  Fullerton,  of  Pennsylvania.  Adding  the  two 
Senators  and  one  Representative  from  Delaware,  increases  the  number  to  8  and  15, 
respectively.

vention,  the  adoption  of  the  clause  which  prohibited  the  legislative 
emancipation  of  slaves  without  the  consent  of  their  owners  and 
without  compensation.  It  was  Benton's  greatest  foible  that  he  came 
to  think  that  he  had  originated  nearly  every  important  measure  of 
American  history.  Bagehot  remarks  that  Gibbon  was  unable  to 
tell  the  difference  between  himself  and  the  Roman  Empire.  Still 
less  was  Benton  able  to  distinguish  between  himself  and  the  United 
States.^  Inasmuch  as  the  constitutional  limitation  upon  legislative 
emancipation  was  a  part  of  Article  VII  of  the  Kentucky  constitu- 
tion, which  the  Missouri  convention  borrowed  en  hloc^  it  is  scarcely 
possible  that  Benton  could  have  had  anything  to  do  with  its  adoption. 

The  Missouri  constitution  was  enacted  without  being  referred  to 
a  popular  vote,  a  State  Government  and  a  Representative  in  Con- 
gress were  elected  and  the  legislature  chose  Barton  and  Benton- 
United  States  Senators,  the  former  unanimously  and  the  latter 
after  a  violent  contest.  Both  Senators-elect  repaired  to  Washington 
and,  in  frequent  letters  to  the  Missouri  newspapers,  set  forth  their 
view  of  the  animus  of  the  renewed  opposition  to  the  admission  of 
the  State.  These  letters  are  perhaps  a  safer  guide  to  the  course  of 
events  than  the  speeches  reported  in  the  Annals  of  Congress,  inas- 
much as  Niles's  Register  complains  at  this  time  that  it  is  "  notorious 
that  many  speeches  are  made  only  for  the  newspapers  and  are  hardly 
listened  to  by  half  a  dozen  in  either  House."  ^ 

November  22  Benton  wrote  to  the  editor  of  the  Missouri  Intelli- 
gencer: 

The  committees  appointed  to  examine  the  Missouri  constitution  will  report 
to-morrow.  Both  committees  will  report  in  favor  of  admitting  the  State.  In 
the  Senate  we  apprehend  no  difficulty.  In  the  House  of  Representatives  the 
struggle  of  last  winter  will  be  renewed,  and  it  is  apprehended  that  the  restric- 
tionists  will  predominate.  The  vote  was  very  close  last  winter,  and  since  then 
we  have  lost  several  friends  from  the  North,  who  have  been  constrained  by 
their  constituents  to  abandon  their  seats.  They  make  a  pretext  of  that  part 
of  our  constitution  which  provided  for  keeping  out  free  negroes  and  mulattoes. 
when  almost  every  State  in  the  Union,  even  the  free  States  themselves,  have 
the  same  provision,  as  will  be  fully  shewn  in  the  course  of  the  debates  here.^ 

December  12  the  Senate  resolution  for  the  admission  of  Missouri 
was  passed,  and  on  the  next  day  the  House  resolution  for  the  same 
purpose  was  rejected.     December  25  one  of  the  Missouri  Senators, 

^  In  a  remarkable  passage  in  the  autobiographical  sketch,  prefixed  to  some  editions 
of  his  Thirty  Years  View,  Benton  said  of  himself : 

"  The  bare  enumeration  of  th6  measures  of  which  he  was,  the  author  and  the  prime 
mover  would  be  almost  a  history  of  Congress  legislation — the  enumeration  is  unneces- 
sary ;  the  long  list  is  known  throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land — repeated 
with  the  familiarity  of  household  words  from  the  great  cities  on  the  seaboard  to  the 
lonely  cabins  on  the  frontier — and  studied  by  the  little  boys  who  feel  an  honorable 
ambition  beginning  to  stir  within  their  bosoms  and  a  laudable  desire  to  learn  something 
of  the  history  of  their  country."

MISSOURI   COMPROMISES.  159 

sion,  and  whether  Missouri  should  be  admitted  at  all  without  a  prohibition  of 
slaA'ery  in  her  constitution.  He  suggested  as  a  new  reason  for  such  a  course 
that  Florida  would  probably  soon  apply  for  admission  under  infinitely  stronger 
claims  for  admitting  slave-holding  population  than  Missouri  can  urge,  and 
that  a  just  "  balance  of  power  "  ought  to  be  preserved. 

These  free-negro  apostles  indulge  the  delusive  hope  that  a  revolution  of  sen- 
timent can  be  effected  in  Missouri.  They  are  led  to  the  belief  (probably  by  one 
of  those  foreigners,  both  by  birth  and  principle,  or  one  of  those  political  preach- 
ers who  have  done  so  much  to  injure  our  character  and  State)  that  large 
minorities  in  favor  of  restriction  exist  in  each  county.  Encouraged  by  such 
hopes,  and  being  wholly  free  from  the  embarrassments  of  political  honesty  and 
public  faith,  the  leaders  in  the  House  of  Representatives  are  endeavoring  to 
secure  themselves  the  benefits  of  an  open  question  and  a  new  struggle  in  the  suc- 
ceeding Congress.  It  is  not  believed,  however,  that  the  honest  Republicans  of 
the  North,  thus  advised  of  their  ultimate  objects,  will  go  with  them  through 
their  criminal  course.^ 

The  compromise  resolutions  were,  however,  defeated  in  the  House 
on  February  12  by  a  vote  of  80  to  83  and  upon  reconsideration  on 
the  next  day  thereafter  by  a  vote  of  82  to  88.^  The  defeat  of  the 
resolutions  was  due  to  the  opposition  of  John  Kandolph  and  his 
adherents,  who  refused  to  assent  to  the  imposition  of  any  condition, 
however  meaningless,  upon  the  admission  of  a  State.  February  21 
the  situation  was  brought  to  a  crisis  by  the  motion  of  Brown,  of 
Kentucky,  to  repeal  the  first  compromise — a  motion  which  he  con- 
sented to  postpone  at  the  request  of  Baldwin,  of  Pennsylvania.  On 
the  next  day  the  President  announced  the  exchange  of  ratifications 
of  the  Florida  treaty,  whereupon  Clay  judged  that  the  moment  was 
opportune  for  a  motion  for  a  joint  committee  of  the  two  Houses  to 
consider  whether  or  not  it  was  expedient  to  make  provision  for  the 
admission  of  Missouri.  February  26  the  joint  committee  reported  a 
resolution  substantially  equivalent  to  the  resolution  of  the  House 
committee  of  thirteen,  and  the  resolution  was  immediately  agreed  to 
by  a  vote  of  86  to  82.  Every  southern  Member  voted  in  the  affirma- 
tive, with  the  exception  of  Randolph,  who  voted  "  no  "  to  the  last, 
and  of  the  Members  from  Delaware,  who  refrained  from  voting  at  all. 
Eighteen  northern  votes  made  up  the  majority.^ 

The  result  was  accomplished  by  the  change  of  4  votes,  those  of  Ed- 
wards, of  North  Carolina,  and  of  Samuel  Moore,  Rogers,  and  Udree, 
of  Pennsylvania.  Edwards  deserted  Randolph,  doubtless  convinced 
that  the  substance  was  more  important  than  the  form,  although  he

2  In  the  vote  upon  reconsideration  4  new  names  were  recorded  in  the  affirmative  and  5 
new  ones  in  the  negative,  one  Member  upon  each  side  did  not  vote,  and  Garnett,  of  Virginia, 
changed  from  the  affirmative  to  the  negative. 

^  The  northern  votes  were  those  of  Hill  and  Shaw,  of  Massachusetts  ;  Eddy,  of  Rhode 
Island  ;  Stevens,  of  Connecticut ;  Clark,  Ford,  Guyon,  Hackley,  Meigs,  and  Storrs,  of  New 
York ;  Bateman,  Bloomfield,  Smith,  and  Southard,  of  New  Jersey ;  Baldwin,  Samuel 
Moore,  Rogers,  and  Udree,  of  Pennsylvania.  McLane,  of  Delaware,  did  not  vote.  The 
vote  upon  final  passage  stood  87  to  81.  Garnett,  of  Virginia,  refrained  from  voting  in 
the  negative,  and  the  vote  of  Hall,  of  North  Carolina,  was  added  to  the  affirmative.

negatived  by  the  report  ^  that  accompanied  the  act,  which  speaks  of 
"the  fourth  clause  of  the  twenty-sixth  section  of  the  third  arti- 
cle *  *  *  upon  the  subject  of  prohibiting  the  emigration  of 
free  negroes  and  mulattoes  into  the  State."  It  must  therefore  be  con- 
cluded either  that  the  Missouri  Legislature,  in  common  with  nearly 
all  writers  on  the  subject  of  the  Missouri  Compromise  ever  since, 
failed  to  notice  the  inaccuracy  in  the  act  of  Congress,  or  that,  if  they 
noticed  it,  the}^  took  no  account  of  it. 

It  remains  only  to  be  said  that  Missouri  accomplished  her  pur- 
pose in  spite  of  the  act  of  Congress.  A  State  act  of  1825  ^  "  con- 
cerning negroes  and  mulattoes "  excluded  such  persons  from  the 
State,  unless  citizens  of  another  State,  in  which  case  they  were  re- 
quired to  prove  their  citizenship  by  presenting  naturalization  papers. 
While  such  persons  were  regarded  as  citizens  in  some  States,  they 
were  never  naturalized,  and  therefore  could  not  present  naturaliza- 
tion papers.  In  1847  it  was  more  positively  provided  that  "  No  free 
negro  nor  mulatto  shall  under  any  pretext  emigrate  into  this  State 
from  any  State  or  Territory,"  ^  and  this  act  remained  upon  the  statute 
book  until  the  Civil  War  drew  to  a  close.*

THE  TOWNS  OF  THE  PACIFIC  NORTHWEST  WERE  NOT  FOUNDED  ON 
THE  FUR  TRADE. 


By  Edmond  S.  Meant. 


At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Historical  Association  in  1893 
Prof.  Frederick  J.  Turner,  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  read  a 
paper  on  "  The  Significance  of  the  Frontier  in  American  History," 
which  has  exercised  a  profound  influence  on  subsequent  students  and 
writers.     In  that  paper  Prof.  Turner  says : 

The  trading:  posts  reached  by  these  trails  were  on  the  sites  of  Indian  villages 
which  had  been  placed  in  positions  suggested  by  nature ;  and  these  trading  posts, 
situated  so  as  to  command  the  water  systems  of  the  country,  have  grown  into 
such  cities  as  Albany,  Pittsburg,  Detroit,  Chicago,  St.  Louis,  Council  Bluffs,  and 
Kansas  City.  Thus  civilization  in  America  has  followed  the  arteries  made  by 
geology,  pouring  an  ever  richer  tide  through  them,  until  at  last  the  slender 
paths  of  aboriginal  intercourse  have  been  broadened  and  interwoven  into  the 
complex  mazes  of  modern  commercial  lines.^ 

In  a  more  recent  publication  the  same  distinguished  author  expands 
his  thesis  and  uses  these  words: 

Practically  all  of  the  Indian  villages  of  the  tributaries  of  the  Great  Lakes  and 
of  the  upper  Mississippi  were  regularly  visited  by  the  trader.  The  trading 
posts  became  the  nuclei  of  later  settlements;  the  traders'  trails  grew  into  the 
early  roads,  and  their  portages  marked  out  the  location  for  canals.  Little  by 
little  the  fur  trade  was  undermining  the  Indian  society  and  paving  the  way  for 
the  entrance  of  civilization." 

While  conceding  the  full  value  and  validity  of  the  thesis  as  ap- 
plied to  that  portion  of  the  United  States  lying  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  it  is  the  purpose  of  this  present  paper  to  demonstrate 
that  west  of  those  mountains,  in  the  Pacific  Northwest,  or  the  old 
Oregon  country,  the  evolution  of  civilization  did  not  follow  the  lines 
so  successfully  elaborated  by  Prof.  Turner. 

It  should  be  stated  at  once  that  the  quest  for  furs  and  the  primitive 
trading  posts  have  important  places  in  the  history  of  old  Oregon,  but

erasing  the  last  vestige  of  American  occupation.  The  British  fur 
traders  were  in  complete  possession. 

But  possession  by  fur  traders  did  not  carry  with  it  British  sover- 
eignty. In  fact,  when  the  War  of  1812  was  terminated  by  the  Treaty 
of  Ghent,  the  antebellum  condition  as  to  territory  was  interpreted 
to  include  Astoria,  probably  because  of  the  presence  of  the  sloop 
of  war  at  the  time  of  the  transfer.  In  October,  1818,  an  American 
agent,  J.  B.  Prevost,  arrived  at  the  mouth  of  the  Columbia,  and  this 
lone  citizen,  representing  the  American  Government,  saw  the  British 
flag  lowered  from  Fort  George  and  the  Stars  and  Stripes  raised 
in  its  place  over  Astoria.  In  a  few  days  he  left  and  the  British 
fur  traders  resumed  sway.  At  that  time,  and  for  more  than  a  dozen 
years  thereafter,  there  was  not  a  single  American  citizen  in  Oregon 
to  represent  his  country's  supposed  share  in  the  sovereignty  over- 
any  part  of  the  region. 

In  that  same  month  of  October,  1818,  when  the  American  agent 
participated  in  the  interesting  ceremonies  of  temporarily  restoring 
the  Stars  and  Stripes  at  Astoria,  there  was  concluded  in  London 
a  treaty  relating  to  boundaries  in  America.  Article  III  of  that 
treaty  provided  that  any  country  claimed  by  either  party  on  the 
northwest  coast  of  America  westward  of  the  Stony  Mountains 
should — 

be  free  and  open,  for  the  term  of  10  years  from  the  date  of  the  signature 
of  the  present  convention,  to  the  vessels,  citizens,  and  subjects  of  the  two 
powers;  it  being  v>^ell  understood  that  this  agreement  is  not  to  be  construed 
to  the  prejudice  of  any  claim  which  either  of  the  two  high  contracting' parties 
may  have  to  any  part  of  said  country,  nor  shall  it  be  taken  to  affect  the  claims 
of  any  other  power  or  State  to  any  part  of  the  said  country ;  the  only  object 
of  the  high  contracting  parties  in  that  respect  being  to  prevent  disputes  and 
differences  amongst  themselves.^ 

This  was  the  famous  treat}^  of  joint  occupancy,  and  as  the  10-year 
period  drew  to  a  close  in  1827  a  special  treaty  was  concluded  at 
London  extending  indefinitely  the  joint  occupancy  feature,  and  add- 
ing the  provision  that  either  party  could  terminate  that  agreement 
by  giving  to  the  other  party  due  notice  of  12  months.^ 

It  is  worth  while  to  note  here  how  three  great  Americans  were  con- 
tinued in  contact  with  the  diplomacy  of  this  Oregon  question.  Three 
of  the  five  American  commissioners  who  concluded  the  treaty  of  peace 
at  Ghent  on  December  24,  1814,  were  John  Quincy  Adams,  Henry 
Clay,  and  Albert  Gallatin.  In  1818,  when  the  treaty  of  joint  occu- 
pancy was  signed,  Adams  was  Secretary  of  State,  Clay  was  Speaker 
of  the  Hous'e,  and  Gallatin  was  minister  to  France,  but  was  ordered 
to  London  to  assist  Eichard  Rush  in  making  that  treaty.     In  1827,

TOWN'S   OF    THE   PACIFIC    NORTHWEST.  169 

There  is  no  desire  to  minimize  the  great  influence  of  the  fur  trade 
in  extending  the  white  man's  civilization  in  wild  territory.  We  are 
interested  here  in  but  one  phase  of  that  influence  in  a  particular 
region.    The  present  writer  has  said  elsewhere : 

As  the  ermine  drew  the  Russian  eastward  to  the  Pacific,  so  the  beaver  drew 
the  American  westward  to  the  same  ocean.  In  that  ocean  were  found  furs 
much  more  valuable  than  the  beaver.  However,  the  deck  of  the  vessel  was  the 
trading  post,  and  profits  were  counted  in  Boston,  London,  or  St.  Petersburg. 
But  the  beaver  was  by  no  means  to  be  despised.^ 

For  centuries  the  fur  of  the  beaver  had  been  highly  prized  and 
extensively  used,  especially  for  hats.  In  Chaucer's  Canterbury  Tales 
is  the  line — 

On  his  head  a  Flaundrish  bever  hat, 

and  "  hattes  of  biever  "  were  recorded  as  early  as  the  twelfth  century.^ 
A  sudden  and  extensive  change  in  the  world-wide  fashion  of  wearing 
beaver  hats  would  certainly  affect  the  trade  in  beaver  skins  and  arrest 
the  develojjment  of  posts  engaged  in  that  trade  into  villages  and 
cities.  That  kind  of  a  change  took  place  with  the  result  indicated 
when  the  silk  hat  supplanted  that  of  beaver.  The  silk  hat  was  made 
in  Florence  late  in  the  eighteenth  century  and  was  introduced  into 
France  about  1825,  after  which  it  speedily  became  the  vogue.  That 
this  new  fashion  in  hats  had  a  profound  effect  on  the  theme  before 
us  is  made  apparent  by  two  letters  written  by  John  Jacob  Astor  from 
Europe  in  1830.  One  letter  was  to  St.  Louis  withdrawing  his 
partnership  in  a  fur-trading  company  and  the  other  was  to  a  friend 
in  New  York  sajdng: 

I  very  much  fear  beaver  will  not  sell  well  very  soon  unless  very  fine.  It 
appears  that  they  make  hats  of  silk  in  place  of  beaver.^ 

The  date  of  those  letters  and  the  practical  prophecy  they  contain 
are  both  important. 

It  now  remains  to  trace  a  change  more  potential  and  more  far- 
reaching  than  the  one  just  indicated.  During  the  decade  from  1835 
to  1845  there  arose,  in  some  way,  between  Great  Britain  and  the 
United  States  an  understanding  that  when  the  joint  occupancy 
treaty  should  be  finallj^  interpreted  on  the  fundamentals  of  discovery, 
exploration,  and  occupation,  the  quality  of  the  occupation  should 
govern.  The  trapper  or  fur  trader  would  not  count  as  against  the 
actual  settler  or  farmer;  the  trading  post  was  not  to  be  weighed  in 
the  same  balance  as  the  village  of  the  true  pioneer.  We  have  a  fine 
piece  of  evidence  on  this  point  from  one  whose  words  have  a.  peculiar 
and  pertinent  authority.     Dr.   William  Fraser  Tolmie  arrived   at

TOWNS   OF   THE   PACIFIC    NOETHWEST.  lYl 

Between  St.  Louis  and  the  barrier  of  the  Eocky  Mountains  lay  vast 
plains,  part  of  which  were  known  as  the  "  Great  American  Desert." 
This  double  barrier  checked  the  westward  movement  for  a  time, 
crucial  for  our  theme,  until  conditions  could  mature  for  the  great 
migrations  between  1840  and  1860.  That  critical  time  is  thus  stated 
by  Prof.  F.  G.  Young: 

The  vanguard  of  the  pioneers  had  reached  the  western  limits  of  Iowa,  Mis- 
souri, and  Arkansas.  Settlement  of  the  plains  beyond  before  the  age  of  rail- 
roads was  out  of  the  question.  The  next  move,  then,  must  be,  as  it  were,  a 
flight  to  the  Pacific  coast,  where  communication  with  the  civilized  world  would 
again  be  open  by  the  sea.^ 

To  the  northward,  however,  the  system  of  rivers  permitted  the 
British  fur  traders  to  extend  their  chain  of  posts  on  into  Oregon, 
giving  them  a  kind  of  possession,  which  subsequently  proved  a 
hindrance  rather  than  a  help  when  it  was  concluded  to  consider  the 
quality  of  occupation. 

The  first  actual  occupation  by  the  Americans  was  made  when  the 
bands  of  missionaries  sent  by  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  and 
the  American  Board  of  Commissioners  for  Foreign  Missions  from 
1834  to  1844  planted  in  Oregon  their  missions  and  their  homes.  In 
1842  and  more  especially  in  1843  the  regular  stream  of  American 
immigration  into  Oregon  began.  The  question  of  actual  occupation 
was  then  taking  on  a  meaning  which  the  British  fur  traders  were 
quick  to  discern.  The}'  had  already  allowed  some  of  their  retired 
servants  to  settle  on  farms,  and  in  1839  had  begun  a  system^atic 
development  along  this  line  through  the  agency  of  their  subsidiary 
Puget  Sound  Agricultural  Co.  In  1841  they  imported  a  number 
of  British  settlers  from  the  Red  River  territory.  Though  abun- 
dantly successful  in  establishing  trading  posts  and  in  ruling  a  wild 
territory  from  their  stockaded  forts,  their  efforts  at  establishing 
agricultural  settlements  or  securing  actual  occupation  were  feeble 
indeed  as  compared  with  those  of  the  onrushing  trains  of  American 
immigants. 

However,  this  last  stage  of  the  race  for  sovereignty  was  perfectly 
fair.  The  treaty  of  joint  occupancy  was  still  in  effect.  It  was  April, 
1846,  when  the  American  Government  gave  Great  Britain  notice  that 
that  treaty  would  be  abrogated  at  the  end  of  the  stipulated  12 
months.  Matters  had  come  to  such  a  pass  at  that  time  that,  instead 
of  waiting  for  the  lapse  of  12  months,  the  treaty  fixing  the  boundary 
was  concluded  on  June  15,  1846,  less  than  2  months  from  the  date 
of  the  notice.  A  recent  Canadian  writer  has  gone  so  far  as  to 
say  that  had  the  joint  occupancy  continued  another  dozen  years, 
until  the  Fraser  River  gold  excitement  of  1857-58,  the  Americans

2.  MORTON  MATTHEW  McCARVER,  FRONTIER  CITY  BUILDER. 


By  Edmond  S.  Meany. 


The  westward  movement  in  American  history  is  well  exemplified 
in  the  life  of  Morton  Matthew  McCarrer,  whose  career  deserves  more 
attention  than  it  has  hitherto  received.  He  was  one  of  those  keen, 
brave,  mentally  alert  Kentuckians,  whose  deeds  have  enlivened  and 
enriched  so  many  pages  of  western  annals. 

His  parents,  Joseph  McCarver  and  Betsey  Morton  McCarver, 
moved,  in  1799,  from  the  woods  of  southwestern  North  Carolina  into 
the  wilderness  of  Kentucky  and  settled  in  Madison  County  near  the 
new  town  of  Lexington.  There  on  January  14,  180T,  was  born  to 
them  the  son  who  received  the  name  of  Morton  Matthew.  The 
mother  was  a  leader  in  the  sect  of  Shakers,  and  as  such  maintained 
a  rule  of  the  home  that  became  irksome  to  the  restless  boy  who 
eagerly  fed  upon  stories  of  the  rivers  and  a  farther  west.  At  the 
age  of  14  the  lad  left  his  home,  and  by  that  act  became  "  dead  "  to 
his  strict  Shaker  mother,  who  ever  after  refused  to  see  him  again. 
Like  Lincoln,  who  was  born  in  the  same  region  two  years  later  than 
he,  this  boy  received  his  introduction  to  the  great  outside  world  by 
a  flatboat  trip  down  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers.  For  a  few 
years  in  Louisiana  and  Texas  he  acquired  many  rough  experiences, 
the  bitter  lesson  most  thoroughly  learned  being  that  a  poor  white 
boy  had  small  chance  for  advancement  in  that  region  at  that  time. 

He  returned  to  Kentucky,  obtained  employment  and  proceeded 
vigorously  with  his  self-education.  In  1829  he  moved  into  the  newer 
State  of  Illinois,  and  on  May  6,  1830,  married  Mary  Ann  Jennings, 
of  Monmouth.  He  moved  about  from  place  to  place,  worked  and 
traded,  accumulating  experience  and  property.  He  desired  to  cross 
the  Mississippi  Eiver  and  secure  a  foothold  in  the  wild  Indian  lands 
of  the  western  banks.  He  picked  out  a  place  on  which  to  build  a 
new  town.  The  Black  Hawk  War  broke  out  and  young  McCarver 
fought  with  the  Illinois  troops.     He  was  present  when  Black  Hawk's

Inriiarut  called  ShokfHjiion  ami  which  the  white  men  cmlled  Flint

Simp*<nn  S.  White,  who  had  marrieii  Mrs.  McCaner'n  sister,  and 
Anizi  Doolittle,  who  had  married  Mr.  White^  lister.  When  the 
treaty  wan  hi^ied  in  1K3*J  thetie  three  men  were  %\w  firat  to  crott  the 
river  and  take  jxwis<»>»Hi<in  of  that  coveted  hill.  Hut  the  treaty  had

June  1,  1h;w.  Soldier*  came  and  dmve  the  town  builders  awaj. 
They  retunHil  to  the  claim,  and  npnin  the  scdtlien*  drove  them  off  and 
burned  their  cabinn.  When  the  lepal  date  arrivetl  the  three  ileter-

not  disturbetl.  They  were  joined  by  a  Vemumter  named  John  B.

and  New  Orleans.  The  settlers  of  Iowa  were  spreading  out  into 
agricultural  communities.  He  was  hearing  of  a  land  of  promise 
much  farther  to  the  westward.  American  missionaries  had  gone 
there  and  planted  homes  as  well  as  missions.  American  settlers 
began  to  cross  the  plains  for  Oregon.  It  was  highly  desirable  that 
settlers  should  go  there.  The  joint  occupancy  treaty  of  1827  was 
still  in  force  between  Great  Britain  and  the  United  States.  The 
British  fur  traders  were  in  possession,  and  some  retired  employees 
of  the  Hudson's  Bay  Co.  had  taken  up  homes.  Prior  to  the  arrival 
of  the  missionaries  there  were  no  American  homes  in  Oregon,  and 
now  there  was  beginning  the  race  toward  a  settlement  of  the  sover- 
eignty of  that  region  by  actual  occupation  by  either  British  subjects 
or  American  citizens.  To  encourage  American  effort  in  this  race, 
Senator  Linn,  of  Missouri,  was  passing  through  Congress  a  law 
granting  640  acres  to  each  family  and  160  additional  acres  to  each 
minor  child. 

Here  was  a  combination  of  conditions  that  presented  an  irresistible 
lure  to  the  venturesome  spirit  of  Gen.  McCarver.  It  was  with  diffi- 
culty that  he  resisted  the  temptation  to  join  the  migration  of  1842 
consisting  of  111  persons,  headed  by  Dr.  Elijah  White,  Medorem 
Crawford,  L.  W.  Hastings,  A.  L.  Lovejoy,  and  Columbia  Lancaster. 
His  ardor  had  no  chance  of  being  weakened  during  the  succeeding 
12  months,  as  there  were  agitations  and  public  meetings  in  his 
neighborhood  at  which  the  Oregon  question  was  discussed  in  all  its 
phases.  He  joined  the  great  Oregon  caravan  of  1843.  There  were 
nearly  1,000  persons  in  this  migration.  Peter  H.  Burnett,  who  later 
became  the  first  governor  of  California,  was  made  captain  and  Mc- 
Carver was  one  of  the  council  of  nine.  This  migration  was  one  of  the 
crucial  events  in  American  history  on  the  Pacific  coast.  It  gave  the 
Americans  a  real  standing  in  that  region,  it  solved  the  main  portion 
of  the  problem  of  the  joint  occupancy  treaty,  many  men  of  the  party 
took  active  parts  in  the  struggling  provisional  government,  and  from 
that  time  there  was  no  nLore  of  doubt  as  to  whether  Oregon  could  or 
would  be  peopled  by  actual  settlers. 

McCarver  had  joined  the  party  without  cattle  or  household  impedi- 
menta. True  to  his  town-building  instinct,  he  formed,  on  the  trail, 
an  agreement  with  Burnett,  and  when  they  had  crossed  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  he  pushed  on  ahead  of  the  party  and  selected  a  place  for 
a  town  on  the  Willamette  River.  In  honor  of  Missouri's  Senator 
and  Oregon's  friend,  he  called  the  place  Linnton.  By  the  time  his 
partner  Burnett  and  the  other  immigrants  arrived  he  was  ready  to 
expand  and  build  up  his  new  city.  In  this  he  failed.  Oregon  City, 
at  the  falls  of  the  Willamette,  in  addition  to  the  adjacent  water 
power,  was  nearer  the  farming  lands,  and  between  Oregon  City  and 
Linnton,  Portland  arose  and  overshadowed  both.     McCarver  after-

custom,  on  horseback.  He  secured  a  claim  on  Feather  River.  Again 
he  believed  he  could  do  better  at  town  building.  He  entered  into  an 
agreement  with  the  Sutters,  father  and  son,  to  build  a  town  on  their 
land,  and  in  the  autumn  of  1848  William  H.  Warner  was  hired  to 
survey  and  plat  the  town,  which  they  called  Sacramento.  All  was 
going  well  when,  to  McCarver's  great  chagiin,  he  was  supplanted  by 
his  old  partner,  Peter  H.  Burnett,  in  the  management  of  the  enter- 
prise. He  then  bought  some  of  the  lots,  became  a  landlord  and  mer- 
chant, and  operated  a  schooner  in  trade  with  the  bay.  Sacramento, 
needing  local  government,  elected  11  men  to  what  was  called  a  legis- 
lature. McCarver  was  one  of  these.  When  Gen.  Riley,  the  military 
governor,  called  for  a  convention  to  devise  a  plan  for  a  Territorial 
government  or  adopt  a  State  constitution,  a  meeting  was  held  in 
Sacramento,  over  which  Gen.  McCarver  presided.  Gen.  Riley's  call 
was  approved,  and  later  McCarver  was  elected  one  of  the  delegates 
to  the  convention,  which  met  at  Monterey  on  September  1,  1849. 
He  was  one  of  the  men  who  worked  effectively  toward  framing  that 
famous  document  so  that  California  would  be  admitted  a  "  free  "  and 
not  a  "  slave  "  State. 

A  flood  at  Sacramento  discouraged  McCarver.  He  sold  his  inter- 
ests, speculated  awhile  in  San  Francisco,  became  interested  in 
schooners  plying  between  Hawaiian  and  Pacific  coast  points,  and  then 
settled  down  as  a  farmer  near  Oregon  City.  He  became  a  model 
agriculturist,  originating  three  new  varieties  of  apples  and  obtaining 
a  medal  as  a  special  prize  for  the  best  display  of  fruits  in  the  Agri- 
cultural and  Horticultural  Fair  in  San  Francisco  in  1853. 

When  the  Methodist  missionaries  began  to  close  some  of  their  sta- 
tions, they  transferred  the  one  at  The  Dalles  to  the  American  Board 
of  Commissioners  for  Foreign  Missions  (known  as  the  Wliitman 
Missions  in  Oregon).  McCarver  negotiated  to  secure  possession  of 
the  site,  intending  to  build  a  town  there,  but  finding  the  title  entan- 
gled, he  abandoned  the  plan. 

Pie  participated  in  three  Indian  wars  in  Oregon,  most  of  the  time 
in  his  familiar,  though  arduous,  work  as  commissary  general.  When 
the  Fraser  River  gold  excitement  broke  out  in  1857  he  hastened  to 
the  scene,  but  contented  himself  with  buying  a  few  lots  in  Victoria, 
British  Columbia,  which  he  subsequently  sold  at  a  profit. 

In  1862  he  joined  another  stampede  to  the  newly  discovered  gold 
fields  of  Idaho.  He  organized  the  firm  of  McCarver,  Clark  &  Town- 
send  and  did  a  thriving  business  in  Bannock  City,  since  called  Idaho 
City.  Crime  was  rampant  in  Idaho  then.  Hasty  justice  was  some- 
times meted  out  by  committees  of  vigilantes.  While  sojourning  in 
Auburn,  Idaho,  Gen.  McCarver  was  called  on  to  preside  over  one  of 
these  popular  tribunals.    Not  long  after  this  he  left  his  business  to

THE  PLACE  OF  THE  GERMAN  ELEMENT  IN  AMERICAN  HISTORY. 


By  Julius  Goebel. 


Permit  me  to  preface  this  paper  with  a  few  remarks  of  a  reminis- 
cent nature,  which  may,  perhaps,  serve  as  the  most  suitable  intro- 
duction to  my  subject. 

It  was  in  October,  1883,  when  the  bicentenary  of  the  founding  of 
Germantown,  the  first  permanent  German  settlement  in  America, 
Avas  celebrated.  I  still  have  a  vivid  remembrance  of  the  marvelous 
eifect  of  this  celebration  upon  my  own  historical  thinking  and  that 
of  German- Americans  in  general.  Although  traditions  of  previous 
generations  of  German  colonists  had  never  been  wanting,  the  Ameri- 
can-Germans suddenly  discovered  themselves  in  the  line  of  a  his- 
torical development  of  their  nationality  upon  American  soil,  the 
beginnings  of  which  coincided  with  the  founding  of  the  present  State 
of  Pennsylvania,  the  very  colony  that  had  first  proclaimed  the 
principle  of  religious  freedom. 

A  few  weeks  after  the  Germantown  celebration  the  five  hundredth 
birthday  of  Luther,  the  champion  of  liberty  of  thought  and  con- 
science, was  commemorated,  adding  depth  to  the  widening  of  the 
psychological  horizon,  produced  by  the  former  event.  For  who 
could  have  failed  to  recognize  the  causal  relation  between  Luther's 
great  deed  and  the  planting  of  Penn's  colon}^,  the  prototype  of  all 
the  modern  polities  in  which  liberty  of  thought  and  conscience, 
originally  unknown  to  the  New  England  theocracy,  is  the  animating 
soul?  Indeed,  the  little  band  of  modest  German  colonists  who 
shared  as  faithful  helpers  in  Penn'S  immortal  creation,  and  who, 
moreover,  filled  with  the  true  spirit  of  liberty,  uttered  the  first  pro- 
test against  slavery  in  America,  thus  appeared  among  the  first 
representatives  of  historical  ideas  which  have  since  revolutionized 
all  modern  States. 

The  remarkable  awakening  of  interest  among  German- Americans 
in  the  history  of  their  American  past,  which  I  have  briefly  described, 
was  due  chiefly  to  the  labors  of  the  late  Prof.  Seidensticker.  His 
papers  on  the  early  history  of  the  Germans  in  Pennsylvania,  pub-

GEEMAN   ELEMENT   IN   AMERICAN    HISTORY.  185 

the  periodical  Der  Deutsche  Pionier,  published  under  great  diffi- 
culties and  with  great  personal  sacrifices  by  H.  A.  Rattermann,  the 
veteran  historian  and  antiquarian.^ 

Although  the  books  I  have  mentioned  covered  only  certain  periods 
or  episodes  of  German- American  history,  they  nevertheless  pointed 
to  a  strong  historical  continuity  of  a  nationality  held  together  by  the 
bonds  of  a  highly  developed  civilization,  such  as  language,  customs, 
religious  and  ethical  ideas;  bonds,  moreover,  that  were  strengthened 
continuously  by  the  perpetual  influx  of  immigration,  contributing 
from  30  to  40  per  cent  to  the  present  population  of  the  United  States. 
And  it  was  but  natural  that  the  cultural  ties  uniting  them  were  felt 
so  strongly  by  German- Americans,  for  the  great  majority  of  them 
had  emigrated  from  the  fatherland  when  the  latter  was  still  what, 
E.  Meinicke  calls  a  "  culture  state  " — that  is,  lacking  the  political  and 
constitutional  organization  which  came  only  with  the  unification  of 
Germany  in  1870. 

As  a  matter  of  course  the  question  suggests  itself:  To  what  ex- 
tent has  American  historiography  recognized  this  powerful  ethnic 
element  which  to-day  constitutes  at  least  one-third  of  our  popula- 
tion, which  has  participated  so  conspicuously  in  the  founding  and 
upbuilding  of  the  American  commonwealth  and  which,  while  thor- 
oughly American  in  spirit,  still  presents  a  cultural  unity  that  makes 
itself  felt  in  our  national  life?  I  am  not  asking  this  question  in 
order  to  see  exploited  in  our  histories  the  special  virtues  of  the 
German  immigrant.  I  am  asking  it  for  the  sake  of  American  his- 
toriography,- which,  in  my  opinion,  has,  strange  to  say,  almost  ut- 
terly failed  to  perceive  one  of  the  most  vital  problems  which  the 
historj^  of  our  Nation  presents  to  the  historical  student.  The  very 
fact  that  in  a  decade  or  two  societies  have  sprung  up  among  us  which 
have  for  their  object  the  investigation  of  the  history  of  particular 
races  points  to  serious  errors  in  the  traditional  conception  and 
method  of  our  science  of  history.  Instinctively  or  consciously,  it 
was  felt  in  those  quarters  that  our  American  histories  were  concerned 
really  with  only  a  section  of  the  Nation  that  they  mistook  for  the 
whole ;  that  they  were  operating  with  a  fictitious  type  of  man,  whom 
they  called  the  American;  that,  in  short,  they  were  far  from  the 
truth  of  historic  reality.  Instead  of  frowning  upon  these  criticisms 
as  being  untrue  or  even  un-American,  as  some  historians  have  done, 
we  had  better  ask  to  what  extent  they  are  justified.  Besides,  have 
not  my  children  the  same  right  as  the  offspring  of  the  Puritan  or  of 
the  Hollander  to  find  recorded  in  our  histories  what  their  fore- 
fathers did  for  our  country? 

Since  the  social  historical  reality  which  the  historian  desires  to 
comprehend  is,  in  the  last  analysis,  composed  of  individuals,  it  can

toms,  such  as  a  divine  plan  or  certain  philosophical  ideas  of  the 
Hegel  type.  But  we  scarcely  have  the  beginnings  of  a  history  of 
American  civilization;  in  fact  we  have  not  even  coined  a  term  which 
would  correspond  fully  to  the  German  "  Kulturgeschichte."  Nor 
has  the  ethnic  problem  thus  far  received  any  other  but  superficial 
attention.  The  only  history  which  considers  the  coming  of  almost 
a  quarter  of  a  million  Germans  during  the  eighteenth  century  worth 
more  than  a  passing  notice  heads  the  chapter  in  question,  "  The 
coming  of  the  foreigners,"  and  tries  to  justify  the  title  by  the  usage 
of  the  term  foreigner  for  European  immigrants  during  the  eighteenth 
century. 

Aside  from  the  fact  that  it  illustrates  the  sectionalism  of  our  his> 
toriography  to  describe  the  beginnings  of  a  constituent  part  of  the, 
American  Nation  in  this  manner,  the  question  may  well  be  asked: 
What  is  a  "  foreigner  "  ?  Has  not  every  element  of  our  composite 
Nation  once  been  a  "  foreigner "  in  this  country  ?  Moreover,  no 
attempt  is  made  in  the  chapter  to  which  I  allude  to  penetrate  into 
the  final  causes  which  brought  the  Anglo-Saxons  and  the  Germans 
together  for  the  purpose  of  shaping  jointly  the  destinies  of  a  new 
world  after  a  separation  of  more  than  a  thousand  years.  For  these 
causes  were  not  merely  economic  and  political.  Behind  them  stands 
the  gigantic  intellectual  and  spiritual  movement  emanating  from 
Germany  during  the  early  part  of  the  sixteenth  century.  These  con- 
vulsions created  a  feeling  of  brotherhood  and  solidarity  among  the 
champions  of  the  new  ideas  in  the  various  countries  of  Europe,  which 
we  of  to-day  seldom  realize.  The  shelter  and  protection  which  Ger- 
many, and  afterwards  Holland,  then  a  part  of  Germany,  gave  the 
Puritans  and  other  English  separatists  was  not  forgotten  by  Eng- 
land when,  a  century  later,  she  invited  the  suffering  German  Protes- 
tants to  her  American  colonies.  Nor  had  it  been  forgotten  then  that 
Germany  was  after  all  the  fatherland  of  the  new  ideas.  Owing  to 
the  bonds  of  racial  kinship  uniting  the  purely  English  stock  and  the 
German  element  of  this  country,  owing,  moreover,  to  the  numerous 
spiritual  and  intellectual  relations  existing  between  these  two  numeri- 
cally equal  elements,  the  ethnic  problem  presented  by  the  German 
element  resolves  itself  essentially  into  the  question  concerning  the 
relative  value  and  merit  of  the  contributions  of  these  elements  to  the 
higher  civilization  of  our  country. 

The  historic  analogy  of  the  settlement  of  large  Germanic  tribes 
such  as  the  Franks,  the  Goths,  the  Langobards,  and  others  among  the 
Gauls  and  Latin  races  will,  therefore,  apply  to  our  question  only  to 
a  certain  degree.  We  may,  however,  learn  from  the  history  of  these 
settlements  the  biological  fact  that  race  mingling  does  not  mean  race 
chaos,  or  a  new  mongrel  type,  as  some  people  innocently  suppose,  but 
that  the  admixture  of  races  follows  the  strict  laws  of  heredity,  fre-

careful  study  of  German-American  poetry  with  its  deeply  touching 
strains  of  homesickness  will  throw  much  light  on  the  process  I  have 
in  mind.  And  it  is  from  this  point  that  the  efforts  of  the  German- 
Americans  to  preserve  their  language,  their  love  of  music,  their  cus- 
toms, in  fact  the  best  of  their  cultural  heritage,  must  be  viewed.  In 
the  preservation  and  cultivation  of  these  ideal  values,  in  the  contribu- 
tion of  his  artistic,  his  ethical,  his  religious,  his  philosophic  ideals — 
in  fact  of  his  whole  conception  of  life — to  the  future  higher  "civiliza- 
tion of  America,  the  German- American  has  seen  and  does  see  his 
mission. 

Are  not  these  efforts,  their  history  and  their  achievements  worthy 
of  the  most  careful  attention  of  the  American  historian,  of  the  his- 
torian who  looks  upon  the  development  of  a  higher  national  culture 
as  the  central  idea  of  American  historiography  of  the  future?  To 
consider  our  present  forms  of  civilization  as  permanently  given  fac- 
tors that  should  not  be  changed  or  disturbed  would  be  mediseval 
thinking  and  contrary  to  the  progressive  spirit  of  American  life.  If 
the  drama  of  history  has  any  sense  at  all  it  i's  to  be  found  in  the  seek- 
ing for  and  in  the  unfolding  of  our  true  being,  whether  individual 
or  national.     Or  as  Goethe  puts  it: 

"  Im  Weiterschreiten  find'  er  Qual  und  Gliick, 
Er,  unbefriedigt  jeden  Augenblick." 

The  process  of  the  development  of  our  higher  civilization  will,  as 
far  as  the  German  is  concerned,  be  one  of  amalgamation  rather  than 
of  assimilation. 

When  I  published,  25  years  ago,  my  little  book  on  the  future  of  the 
German  element  in  America,  one  of  Germany's  greatest  scholars  and 
true  national  prophets  wrote  me : 

I  consider  it  more  than  probable  that  during  the  coming  century  the  best  of 
the  German  spirit  and  the  best  of  the  American  spirit  will  unite  to  bring  forth 
a  new  world  in  the  higher  spheres  of  human  life,  for  the  realization  of  which 
we  Germans  have  furnished  in  modern  times  perhaps  more  and  better  cham- 
pions than  any  other  nation. 

May  this  meeting  be  the  first  step  toward  the  realization  of  this 
prophecy.

THE  DUTCH  ELEMENT  IN  AMERICAN  HISTORY. 


By   H.    T.    COLENBKANDER. 


Jealous  as  I  may  be  upon  the  point  of  my  little  country's  honor, 
much  has  been  written  about  Dutch  influence  in  American  history 
to  which  I  do  not  feel  at  liberty  to  subscribe.  Though  not  very  well 
known  perhaps  in  professional  circles  it  can  not  be  denied  that 
Douglas  Campbell's  book  has  been  widely  read,  that  it  has  inspired 
many  second-hand  authors,  and  that  it  is  still  a  factor  to  be  reckoned 
with.^  In  my  opinion,  it  has  been  useful  in  combating  the  great  error 
of  considering  American  history  principally  as  a  kind  of  prolonga- 
tion of  English  history,  but  it  has  propagated  a  great  many  new 
errors  as  well. 

It  would  be  impossible,  and  of  course  even  Douglas  Campbell  does 
not  even  try  to  proclaim  Holland  the  mother  of  the  great  American 
nation  as  far  as  blood  is  concerned,  but  he  proclaims  her  America's 
mother  in  spirit.  He  does  so  in  two  large  volumes,  mainly  filled  up 
with  imprecations  against  everything  English  and  praise  of  every- 
thing Dutch,  in  which  argument  holds  only  a  very  small  place.  The 
argument,  as  far  as  it  goes,  runs  as  follows : 

Look,  says  the  author,  at  England  and  at  America  in  their  present 
state.  The  corner  stone  of  the  political  institutions  of  America  is  the 
principle  laid  down  in  the  Declaration  of  Independence:  "All  men 
are  created  equal."  Now  look  at  England.  "  No  one  could  persuade 
the  Queen  of  England  and  Empress  of  India  that  any  of  her  subjects 
is  by  birth  her  equal.  Coming  down  the  list  to  the  pettiest  baronet, 
the  same  feeling  exists  *  *  *."  In  ascending  from  the  foundation 
to  the  superstructure,  you  will  find  no  less  difference.  The  Union 
and  its  composite  States  have  written  constitutions,  fixing  the  limits 
of  the  executive,  legislative,  and  judicial  powers.  England's  "so- 
called  constitution  is  a  thing  of  tradition,  sentiment,  theory,  abstrac- 
tion, anything  except  organic,  supreme,  settled  law."  In  the  social 
structure,  the  difference  is  not  less  evident.  In  England  half  of  the 
soil  is  owned  by  150  persons,  in  Scotland  by  75,  in  Ireland  by  35 ;  all

Having  thus  given  a  fair  amount  of  attention  to  Douglas  Camp- 
bell's book,  it  will  be  unnecessary  to  speak  of  the  second-hand  writ- 
ings that  have  disseminated  his  views  abroad  in  a  popular  fashion. 
It  is  only  just  to  acknowledge  that  the  books  I  allude  to  speak  of  my 
country  with  much  kindness,  even  tenderness,  somewhat  in  the  tone 
one  uses  for  children  and  pet  dogs.  But  we  don't  care  to  be  any- 
body's pet  dog,  and  to  civility,  prefer  truth. 

The  capital  fault  of  Douglas  Campbell's  construction  seems  to  me 
to  reside  in  the  absolutely  arbitrary  use  he  makes  of  the  word 
Puritan.  Puritanism  as  a  historical  phenomenon  has  until  now  been 
generally  understood  to  be  essentially  English.  Whoever  ventures 
to  assert  that  England  got  its  Puritanism  from  Holland  will  have 
to  prove  that  the  characteristics  of  English  Puritanism  as  everybody' 
knows  them  have  presented  themselves  at  an  earlier  date  and  even 
more  strongly  in  Plolland.  To  any  Dutchman  who  knows  the  char- 
acter and  history  of  his  own  people  this  proof  will  appear  very  diffi- 
cult, if  not  impossible.  Dutch  society  of  the  beginning  of  the  seven- 
teenth century  was  anj^thing  but  Puritan ;  it  was  hardly  a  Calvinistic 
society,  and  Calvinistic  only  in  a  lenient,  peculiarly  Dutch  sense  of 
the  word.  In  a  Dutch  play  of  the  time,  an  elderly  woman  friend  is 
advising  a  young  profligate  to  take  to  marriage,  and  details  to  him 
the  advantages  of  several  Amsterdam  girls  of  their  acquaintance. 
The  youngster  answers  with  different  remarks  on  the  candidates,  but 
one  is  peremptorily  rejected  by  him,  because  (he  says)  — 

She  is  a  Puritan, 
As,  if  slie  had  fled  from  England  for  religion's  sake. 

In  truth,  the  characteristics  of  English  Puritanism  have  not  been 
utterly  unknown  in  Plolland,  but  they  have  appeared  at  a  relatively 
late  period,  have  been  limited  to  a  small  minority  amongst  the 
numbers  of  Dutch  Protestants,  and  have  been  generally  felt  and 
spoken  of  by  contemporaries  as  an  exception,  as  something  contrary 
to  the  character  of  the  nation. 

Of  course  I  do  not  in  the  least  deny  that  in  Elizabethan  times  the 
Dutch  were  ahead  of  the  English  in  almost  every  respect  except 
in  literature,  and  that  colonies  of  Dutch  refugees  in  London  and  Nor- 
wich greatly  influenced  the  development  of  English  industry  and 
propagated,  by  the  simple  fact  of  their  presence,  religious  ideas  in- 
consistent with  Anglicanism.  But  the  manner  in  which  a  part  of 
the  English  nation  appropriated  these  ideas  and  developed  them  into 
something  quite  different  from  continental  Calvinism  belongs  to 
England  and  to  England  alone. 

It  is  true  that  the  Pilgrim/ Fathers  of  1620  had  lived  10  years  in 
Holland  as  refugees.  That  they  ever  really  felt  at  home  in  the  coun- 
try which,  in  Douglas  Campbell's  views,  must  have  appeared  to  them

DUTCH  ELEMENT  IN"  AMERICAN   HISTORY.  197 

by  Charles  Gross  in  an  article  in  the  American  Historical  Eeview.^ 
Douglas  Campbell  connects  two  totally  different  things,  the  nomina- 
tion of  town  magistrates  and  the  vote  for  the  English  House  of 
Commons. 

The  Union  of  Utrecht,  for  the  sake  of  his  argument,  is  elevated  to 
the  rank  of  "  a  written  constitution,  pure  and  simple,"  and  by 
"  constitution  "  he  understands,  as  we  have  seen,  an  instrument  pre- 
senting the  advantages  of  "  organic,  supreme,  settled  law  "  above 
"  tradition  and  sentiment."  Now,  everybody  who  has  the  slightest 
knowledge  of  Dutch  constitutional  history  knows  very  well  that  the 
Union  of  Utrecht  was  no  constitution  at  all,  but  a  confederation  of 
sovereign  States  for  the  purposes  of  war.  The  general  government 
of  the  Dutch  provinces,  as  far  as  it  has  come  into  being,  was  not 
modeled  upon  the  articles  of  the  Union  of  Utrecht,  but  was  simply 
the  modified  general  government  of  the  Burgundian  period. 

Is  the  principle  "  all  men  are  created  equal "  expressed  anywhere  in 
Dutch  political  literature  of  the  sixteenth  or  seventeenth  centuries? 
Can  the  fact  that  the  large  estates  of  England  do  not  occur  in  America 
be  the  consequence  of  imitation  of  things  in  Holland  (where  large 
estates,  though  on  a  smaller  scale  than  in  England,  are  by  no  means 
an  exception),  or  is  it  the  natural  outcome  of  circumstances  peculiar 
to  America  itself  ?  Is  not  the  common  school  a  natural  phenomenon 
in  every  Calvinistic  community,  where  everyone  is  expected  to  read 
his  Bible?  Are  the  townships  of  New  England  anything  else  than 
the  natural  product  of  the  circumstances  under  which  a  homogeneous 
group  of  men  disembarked  on  a  virgin  coast,  with  full  liberty  to 
shape  their  own  local  government?  Douglas  Campbell  points  to 
the  absence  of  squire  and  clergyman  as  a  remarkable  fact.  I  won- 
der where  they  could  have  taken  the  squire  and  clergyman  from, 
even  if  they  would  have  liked  to  have  them?  Kidiculous,  perhaps, 
above  all  is  the  idea  of  Dutch  toleration  being  brought  to  America 
by  the  English  Puritans — the  English  Puritans,  who  in  Massachu- 
setts hanged  the  Quakers,  when  they  got  hold  of  them,  without 
mercy ! 

If  we  must  disclaim  the  honor  of  having  influenced  American  his- 
tory through  the  medium  of  the  settlers  of  New  England,  what  of 
the  claim  derived  from  our  settling  New  Netherland? 

As  far  as  numbers  go,  the  Dutch  in  America  were  in  a  very  decided 
minority.  When  New  Netherland  changed  its  allegiance,  it  had  a 
population  of  10,000  souls  (a  few  thousand  of  the  number  being 
Englishmen),  whereas  New  England,  Virginia,  and  Maryland  to- 
gether had  already  an  English  population  of  100,000.

a  real  colony.  The  home  Government  was  not  absolutely  blind  to  the 
shortcomings  of  the  TTest  India  Company ;  the  granting  of  municipal 
government  to  Xew  Amsterdam,  in  consequence  of  the  complaint  of 
1649.  gives  a  fairly  strong  proof  of  it.  But  the  question  of  promot- 
ing free  emigration  on  an  extended  scale  did  not  arise;  it  could  not 
arise,  because  a  real  rush  for  settlement  on  foreign  coasts  was  utterly 
unthinkable  in  the  Holland  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Why  have 
others  settled  in  America  ?  For  the  sake  of  religion,  like  the  Puritans 
of  Massachusetts,  the  Catholics  of  ^laryland.  or  the  Dutch  Separat- 
ists, who  went  to  Michigan  in  the  forties  of  the  last  century;  be- 
cause they  were  driven  out  of  their  own  country  by  force,  like  the 
Huguenots:  because  they  had  been  robbed  of  everything,  like  the  peo- 
ple of  the  Palatinate  after  the  devastations  of  Louvois;  to  escape 
from  injustice  and  damage,  like  the  Ulstermen :  to  better  their  condi- 
tions of  life,  like  the  Gemian  immigrants  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
and  the  Irish,  Germans,  Hebrews,  and  many  others  of  the  nineteenth 
century  and  of  to-day.  THiich  out  of  these  various  motives  could 
possibly  operate  in  the  Holland  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Even 
the  few  score  colonists  sent  out  by  the  Amsterdam  patroons  could  not 
be  got  together  without  enlisting  foreigners  from  everywhere.  If 
Eensselaer.  under  special  circumstances,  had  not  been  able  to  impress 
a  relatively  large  number  of  peasants  from  his  own  possessions  and 
those  of  his  family  in  Guelderland,  his  colony  would  in  all  proba- 
bility have  shared  the  fate  of  the  others. 

It  is  impossible  to  settle  a  real  colony  without  the  spontaneous  help 
of  the  people,  or  at  least  of  part  of  the  people,  of  the  mother  country 
itself.  The  Dutchmen  of  the  seventeenth  century  went  everywhere — 
but  for  trade,  not  settlement.  They  went  for  gain ;  they  often  got  it. 
but  they  had  no  reason  to  spend  their  earning  elsewhere  than  in 
what  seemed  to  them  a  country  favored  above  all  others.  Holland 
then  was  a  land  where  hands  were  insufficient  to  grasp  the  oppor- 
tunities that  offered  themselves :  it  had  no  colonists  to  spare. 

If  we  have  found  the  story  of  Dutch  influence  in  the  making  of 
America,  as  told  by  Douglas  Campbell  and  his  followers,  devoid  of 
foundation,  must  we  conclude  that  such  an  influence  did  not  exist  at 
all?  By  no  means.  Though  at  the  moment  of  its  overthrow  the 
Dutch  colony  was  still  in  its  infancy,  it  was  nevertheless  of  much  con- 
sequence that  a  place  like  the  mouth  of  the  Hudson  Eiver  had  been 
occupied  by  such  a  people  as  the  Dutch.  It  is  not  true  that  the 
American  Eepublic  is  the  daughter  of  the  Dutch  Eepublic.  for  it  is 
not  the  daughter  of  any  single  European  state,  but  it  may  at  least 
he  safely  said  that  Xew  York  is  the  offspring  of  Amsterdam. 

It  is  very  remarkable  that  at  the  moment  of  its  overthrow  the 
colony  of  Xew  Xetherland  had  already  lost  much  more  of  its  original 
Dutch  character  than  had  the  town  of  Xew  Amsterdam.    On  the  ter-

DUTCH  ELEMENT  IN  AMERICAN   HISTORY.  201 

The  economic  part  played  by  New  Amsterdam  in  consequence  of 
its  location  and  surroundings  determined  the  business  and  character 
of  its  inhabitants.  It  was  a  town  of  shipowners  and  ship  agents,  of 
sailors  and  innkeepers,  of  exchange  and  intercourse,  of  fluctuation 
in  market  prices,  and  of  eagerness  for  news  of  every  description. 
All  this  on  a  very  small  scale  indeed,  but  as  determining  the  interests 
and  habits  of  the  place  it  was  nevertheless  decisive.  New  Amsterdam 
as  early  as  1664  had  a  physiognomy  and  a  mentality  altogether  dif- 
ferent from  those  of  any  New  England  town.  It  was  already  the 
most  worldly,  the  most  cosmopolitan  place  in  all  North  America,  and 
so  it  is  to-day. 

Destined  by  nature  to  play  so  important  a  part  in  the  history  of  the 
American  Continent,  the  place  had  the  good  fortune  to  be  settled 
by  the  people  perhaps  the  best  fitted  to  aid  it  in  playing  that  part. 
Had  it  been  possible  (as  we  have  shown  it  was  not)  to  send  out 
Dutchmen  by  thousands  instead  of  by  parties  of  20  or  30,  it  may 
be  asked  whether  the  Dutch  element,  so  much  more  advantageously 
situated  than  the  people  of  New  England,  might  not  have  had 
a  fair  chance  of  taking  the  leadership  in  American  history.  As 
things  have  turned  out,  however,  it  is  only  just  to  say  it  has  no  such 
claim.  New  Netherland  was  soon  a  lost  cause.  At  least  New  Am- 
sterdam remained,  not  impaired  in  its  real  character  by  the  change  of 
its  old  name  into  that  of  New  York.  The  Dutch  element,  abandon- 
ing forever  the  hope  of  dominating  America,  has  been  conspicuous 
in  serving  it.  As  widely  different  from  the  stiff  puritanism  of  New 
England  as  from  the  feudal  characteristics  of  Virginian  society,  it 
has  been  a  mediator  between  the  two.  It  has  not  so  much  a  motor 
as  a  regulating  force.  In  great  national  concerns  it  seldom  provides 
the  motto,  but  the  side  on  which  New  York  throws  itself  has  a  fair 
chance  to  be  victorious. 

The  Dutch  of  the  seventeenth  century  were  good  Europeans;  the 
Dutchmen  of  New  York  are  not  less  good  Americans.  In  his  at- 
tractive, well-written  book,  The  Dutch  and  Quaker  Colonies  in 
America,  John  Fiske  concludes  with  the  following  judgment: 

In  the  cosmopolitanism  wliicli  showed  itself  so  early  in  New  Amsterdam  and 
has  ever  since  been  fully  maintained,  there  was  added  to  American  national 
life  the  variety,  the  flexibility,  the  generous  breadth  of  view,  the  spirit  of 
compromise  and  conciliation  needful  to  save  the  nation  from  rigid  provin- 
cialism. Among  the  circumstances  v^^hich  prepared  the  way  for  a  rich  and 
varied  American  nation,  the  preliminary  settlement  of  the  geographical  center 
by  Dutchmen  was  certainly  one  of  the  most  fortunate. 

A  conclusion  with  which  even  the  most  scrupulous  Dutchman  of 
to-day  will  readily  agree  without  giving  up  his  right  of  waiving 
compliments  he  can  not  in  good  conscience  admit  to  be  due  to  him. 
To  occupy  forever,  by  our  settlement  of  New  Amsterdam,  a  central 
place  in  American  history,  is  a  great  and  sufficient  honor.

THE  DUTCH  ELEMENT  IN  THE  UNITED  STATES. 


By  Ruth  Putnam. 


.  Statistics  of  the  numbers  of  persons  embarking  at  Queenstown  or 
Messina  on  vessels  bound  for  New  York  or  other  American  seaports 
would  show,  with  a  fair  degree  of  accuracy,  the  numerical  con- 
tribution of  Ireland  or  Sicily  toward  the  United  States  population. 
No  parallel  deduction  can  be  drawn  as  regards  the  individuals  sail- 
ing westward  from  the  Texel,  Amsterdam,  or  Rotterdam.  From  the 
beginning  of  these  trans- Atlantic  voyages  a  Dutch  flag  at  the  mast- 
head was  no  criterion  that  the  outward-bound  passengers  over  whom 
it  floated  came  from  any  section  of  the  United  Netherlands.  It  was 
long  before  the  name  of  the  discoverer  of  the  Hudson  River  was 
divested  of  the  Dutch  guise,  and  the  same  hidden  unconscious  in- 
fluence that  turned  "  Henry  "  into  "  Hendrick  "  because  his  enter- 
prising little  Half  Moon  was  built  of  Dutch  timber,  carried  Dutch 
colors,  and  was  financed  by  Dutch  capital,  has  affected  succeeding 
groups  of  home  seekers  coming  hither  on  the  long  line  of  Holland- 
American  shipping  from  1623  to  1909,  or  at  least  down  to  the  issue 
of  our  latest  official  emigration  reports.  The  true  lineage  of  many 
of  these  immigrants,  early  and  late  alike,  certainly  had  its  roots  in 
other  soil  than  Dutch.  It  is  therefore  a  remarkable  fact  that,  in  spite 
of  the  small  number  of  the  veritable  Dutch  among  the  early  colonists, 
their  influence  has  determined  the  character  of  the  colony  and  has 
set  the  aristocratic  standard  for  New  York. 

Past  and  present  together,  what  proportion  of  Dutch  blood  can 
accurately  be  estimated  as  existing  among  the  millions  of  Americans  ? 

Their  beginnings  in  the  Dutch-American  possessions  have  not 
even  yet  been  perfectly  deciphered,  although  we  are  now  well  on 
the  road  to  knowledge  of  what  can  and  what  can  not  be  known. 
The  difference  between  accessible  material  pertaining  to  this  period 
in  1909  and  in  1896  is  certainly  encouraging.  When  the  "Half 
Moon  Papers"  were  in  progress  (1896-1898)  under  the  auspices  of 
the  infant  New  York  City  History  Club,i  ^he  editors  became  appalled

seems  to  be  disproved  now  (Wallabogt  is  simply  the  "inner  bay"), 
but  the  fact  that  the  first  European  children  born  within  the  limits  of 
the  Dutch  grant  were  Walloons  is  fairly  well  established.  The  title 
of  Jean  Yigne  and  Sara  Kapalye  to  that  honor  is  still  allowed.  It 
seems  that  these  French-speaking  colonists  were  little  affiliated  with 
the  Dutch  who  followed  them  under  the  same  management  during 
the  next  five  years,  although  the  increase  in  the  total  number  was 
slow,  both  by  birth  and  immigration. 

In  1628,  when  Domine  Michaelius  sent  off  his  vivid  first  impres- 
sions of  America  to  his  friend  Van  Foreest  in  Heiloo  and  to  the  classis 
of  Amsterdam,  there  were  still  but  270  souls  in  New  Netherland.  Out 
of  the  50  communicants  there  were  French  who  could  not  understand 
Dutch,  and  the  domine  held  a  separate  service  for  their  benefit,  writ- 
ing out  the  discourse;  he  did  not  trust  himself  to  speak  extempore.^ 
The  exact  proportion  of  the  two  nations  can  not  be  gauged,  but  it  is 
worth  noting  the  statement  that  many  of  the  French  were  to  return 
to  I'atherland  at  the  expiration  of  their  service,  so  that  their  perma- 
nent legacy  to  the  population  remains  a  doubtful  quantity. 

As  to  the  immigration  setting  in  after  1630  the  Van  Rensselaer 
papers  furnish  the  earliest  specific  data.  The  names  of  the  inden- 
tured servants  and  employees  of  the  patroon  are  all  given  with  the 
year  of  their  arrival  at  the  estates  near  Fort  Orange.^  At  the  end 
of  their  terms  these  people  were  free  to  go  elsewhere,  and  many  came 
to  Manhattan  and  in  time  were  prominent  citizens  of  the  little 
metropolis.  The  whole  tale  of  these  Rensselaerwyck  colonists  is  243. 
Of  these,  about  37  names  may  be  considered  as  patronymics  (sur- 
names proper  shared  by  all  members  of  one  family  and  passed  on  to 
the  children  of  the  males),  31  are  certainly  foreign — Scandinavian, 
English,  German,  and  French — while  the  remainder  are  baptismal 
names  alone  of  father  and  child,  showing  that  the  owners  thereof 
were  simple  peasants ;  Jan,  the  son  of  Teunis,  and  so  on.  While  the 
majority  of  this  last  group  are  Dutch,  many  having  been  drafted  into 
the  patroon's  service  from  the  vicinity  of  his  own  estates  near  Utrecht, 
others  are  probably  non-Netherlanders  picked  up  from  anywhere.  It 
is  this  group  of  immigrants  who  have  contributed  a  large  proportion 
of  "  vans  "  to  be  found  in  our  directories.  The  name  of  the  village 
of  origin  was  used  to  distinguish  Pieter  Jans  of  Aalst,  from  Pieter 
Jans  of  Eysden;  the  preposition  was  not  translated,  and  Van  Aalst 
and  Van  Eysden  soon  received  a  dignity  in  the  New  World  never  en- 
joyed in  the  Old.  The  story  of  the  family  of  one  of  these  Rens- 
selaerwyck Jans  is  a  curious  bit  of  New  York  history.  Roelof  Jans, 
or  Jansen,  came  out  on  the  Eendracht^  or  Unity ^  with  the  first  con-

sea,  and  the  latter  left  proof  that  he  was  a  noble  in  the  name  of 
Yonkers,  which  was  part  of  the  Jonkheer's  estate.  There  is  doubt, 
however,  about  Adrian  Teunisz  van  der  Bilt  and  Jacob  van  Scher- 
merhoorn,  as  both  might  have  tagged  on  th^  villages'  names  to  their 
undistinguisiied  "Adrian  "  and  "  Jacob  "  after  their  arrival. 

In  New  Amsterdam  there  were  conditions  of  imported  contract 
labor  similar  to  those  of  Eensselaerwyck,  but  the  West  India  Company 
were  less  executive  than  the  jeweler  of  Amsterdam  and  probably  less 
successful  in  transplanting  good  material.  In  1645  a  memorial  was 
sent  to  the  Netherlands  describing  the  state  of  affairs,  which  gives 
some  idea  of  the  population. 

In  tlie  beginning  their  honors  had  sent  a  certain  number  of  settlers  thither,- 
.  .  .  but  it  [New  Netherland]  never  began  to  be  settled  until  every  one  had 
liberty  to  trade  with  the  Indians,  inasmuch  as  up  to  this  time  no  one  calculated 
to  remain  there  longer  than  the  expiration  of  his  bounden  time,  and  therefore 
they  did  not  apply  themselves  to  agriculture.  Yea,  even  the  colony  of  Rense- 
iaerwyck  was  of  little  consequence ;  but  as  soon  as  it  was  permitted,  many 
servants,  who  had  some  money  coming  to  them  from  the  company,  applied  for 
their  discharge,  built  houses,  and  formed  plantations  .  .  .  On  the  other  hand 
the  English  came  also  .  .  .  firstly,  many  servants  .  .  .  [others]  to  escape  from 
the  insupportable  government  of  New  England,  ...  so  that  in  place  of  7  farms 
and  3  plantations  which  were  here,  one  saw  30  farms,  as  well  cultivated  and 
stocked  with  cattle  as  in  Europe,  and  a  hundred  plantations  which  in  two  or 
.three  years  would  have  become  well  arranged  farms/ 

This  change  of  policy  marks  a  period  of  a  fresh  impetus  of-  settle- 
ment, but  one,  to  the  mind  of  the  above*  writer,  still  fraught  with 
danger.  He  thought  it  eminently  unfair  for  irresponsible  traders  to 
have  the  same  privileges  as  burghers.  "  They  reap  immense  profit 
and  exhaust  the  country  without  adding  to  its  population  or  its  se- 
curity, but  if  they  skim  a  little  fat  from  the  fire  they  take  to  their 
heels." 

In  1649  this  statement  appears  in  one  of  the  later  petitions  to  home 
authorities :  "  Were  there  1,000  or  1,500  inhabitants  in  New  Nether- 
land, the  Indians  and  Swedes  would  never  dare  to  offer  us  any  in- 
sult."^ It  is  followed  b}^  an  earnest  appeal  for  emigrants:  "Were 
those  in  New  Netherland  who  sit  down  in  poverty  at  home  they  could 
honestly  earn  their  living."  ^  The  cheapness  of  transport  is  urged,  as 
30  to  40  guilden  will  pay  for  a  full-grown  man  or  women  according  as 
they  eat  in  the  "  between  decks  "  or  cabin.  The  following  remark  is 
thrown  in  as  an  additional  argTiment  for  aiding  emigration :  "  Then 
too  people  are  bound  to  pray  for  their  benefactors  and  if  they  fail  to 
why  virtue  is  its  own  reward."  *

The  fifth  hundred  show  70  Dutch,  6  or  8  each  of  Scandinavian, 
German,  and  French,  and  as  many  blacks. 

The  sixth  hundred  show  68  Dutch  and  the  others  scattered  in 
groups  of  5  and  6  and  smaller  numbers.  Thus  in  20  years,  from  1639 
to  1659,  the  Dutch  persons  married  annually  varied  from  38  to  72  in 
an  uneven  line — 38,  52,  72,  56,  70,  68— out  of  the  successive  groups  of 
100  each,  making  about  59  per  cent  of  the  whole  list.  Taking  the  20 
years  from  1679  to  1699  (to  finish  the  seventeenth  century),  out  of 
274  marriages  registered,  548  persons,  25  are  registered  from  England 
and  10  from  places  in  the  Netherlands.  Dutch  immigration  was  at  an 
end  for  the  time  being. 

The  nationalities  mentioned  in  the  church  register  do  not,  of  course, 
include  all  comprised  within  the  city.  It  is  simply  the  most  Dutch 
section.  There  were  others  beyond  the  pale  of  the  Dutch  Church, 
The  statement  that  14  languages  were  spoken  on  the  island  before 
1664  may  be  taken  at  its  worth,  but  undoubtedly  there  were  many 
varieties  in  race  and  theology  in  spite  of  religious  restrictions. 
Domine  Megapolensis  says  ^  (1655)  that  with  the  "Papists,  Men- 
nonites,  and  Lutherans  among  the  Dutch,  Puritans,  or  Independents 
and  many  atheists  and  various  other  servants  of  Baal  among  the 
English,  it  would  create  a  still  greater  confusion  if  the  obstinate  and 
immovable  Jews  came  to  settle  here."  He  characterizes  the  latter 
as  people  who  "  have  no  other  god  than  the  Mammon  of  unrighteous- 
ness and  no  other  aim  than  to  get  possession  of  Christian  property 
and  to  overcome  all  other  merchants  by  drawing  all  trade  toward 
themselves."  An  accusation  that  seems  like  the  pot  calling  the  kettle 
black,  when  the  company's  motives  are  considered.  But  undoubtedly 
these  merchants  came  and  must  be  reckoned  as  part  of  the  composite 
community. 

Keturning  to  the  story  of  the  marriage  register,  it  must  be  noted 
that  the  figures  as  between  the  nationalities  may  be  uncertain,  as  the 
Dutch  clerk  makes  strange  work  with  some  of  their  names.  Steven 
Jong  van  Oosterscheer  could  hardly  be  recognized  as  Young  of 
Oxfordshire  were  not  his  bride,  Dorothea,  from  Kent,  with  her  Hill 
masquerading  as  "  Hyls." 

It  is  amusing  to  mark  that  Knickerbocker,  now  so  firmly  stamped 
on  Dutch  NcAv  York,  only  accurs,  even  in  a  pristine  form,  as  Knick- 
erbaker  (a  baker  of  fancy  cakes),  in  1754,  when  Abraham  Knicke- 
bakker  was  married  to  Geertruich  v.  Deurser,  and  again,  in  1757, 
when  Elizabet  Knickerbacker  married  William  Pasman.  The  reg- 
isters are  intensely  interesting — a  veritable  quarry  for  nuggets  of 
tnith,  but  more  time  can  not  be  given  to  them  here.  In  addition  to 
published  data,  I  was  fortunate  in  obtaining  specific  information 
from  one  descendant  of  a  true  Dutch  family  whose  experience  is  a

regards  the  rank  and  file  of  the  colonists,  whose  humble  origin  in 
general  seems  fairly  clear.  For  instance,  in  one  list  of  49  burghers 
jDetitioning  the  home  government  there  are  19  who  had  to  put  their 
mark  instead  of  their  name.  At  the  same  time  among  the  few  edu- 
cated men  that  did  come  over  there  was  a  high  degree  of  intelligence 
and  fair  scholarship.  An  extraordinary  gift  of  expression  is  mani- 
fest in  the  letters  and  appeals  to  Patria.  The  statements  are  racy 
and  eloquent  although  the}^  failed  to  produce  the  effect  desired. 
Adrian  Van  Der  Donck's  style  is  quite  delightful  and  his  exposition  of 
his  thesis  logical,  forcible,  and  intelligent.  His  quotations,  Latin  and 
other,  are  apt  and  so  are  Peter  Stuyvesant's,  who  also  expressed  him- 
self very  well.  Jacob  Steendam,  the  poet,  gives  the  same  picture  of 
the  colony's  needs  as  the  petitioners,  but  his  rhymes  fall  far  below  the 
standard  of  the  prose  in  letter  and  document. 

The  political  effect  seems  to  have  been  in  certain  local  color  here 
and  there  rather  than  in  any  structural  contribution.  In  the  latest 
book  on  the  "  American  People  "  the  chapter,  "  How  the  Dutch  came 
and  went,"  implies  that  not  a  trace  was  left  behind.^  Between  the 
claims  of  Maurice  Low  and  the  flights  of  Douglas  Campbell's  ^ 
all-embracing  assertions  of  Dutch  influence  there  may  be  a  middle 
truth.  If  not  through  New  Netherland  there  may  be  more  theoretic 
gift  from  Holland  through  New  England — in  spite  of  the  fewness 
of  the  Puritan  fathers  who  knew  Leyden — than  has  been  conceded, 
since  the  reaction  against  Campbell.  For  instance  there  is  the  isele- 
bration  of  the  earliest  wedding  in  Plymouth  colony : 

May  12,  [1621],  was  the  first  marriage  in  this  place  [Edward  Winslow  to 
Susanna  White]  which  according  to  the  laudable  custome  of  the  Low-Cuuutries 
in  which  they  had  lived  was  thought  most  requisite  to  be  performed  by  the 
magistrate  as  being  a  civill  thing,  upon  which  many  questions  of  inheritance 
depend  with  other  things  most  proper  to  their  cognizans  and  most  consonante  to 
the  scripturs,  Ruth  4.  and  nowhere  found  in  the  gospel  to  be  layed  on  the  min- 
isters as  a  part  of  their  office.  This  decree  or  law  about  mariage  was  published 
by  the  Stats  of  the  Low-Cuntries  An.  1590.  That  those  of  any  religion  after 
lawfull  and  open  publication  coming  before  the  magistrats  in  the  Town  or  Stat- 
house  were  to  be  orderly  by  them  maried  one  to  another.  And  this  practiss 
hath  continued  amongst  not  only  them  but  hath  been  followed  by  all  the  famous 
churches  of  Christ  in  these  parts  to  this  time  An.  1646.  [Edward  Winslow 
testified  in  a  cdlnmission  presided  over  by  Archbishop  Laud  that  as  magistrate 
he  had  married  some.]  They  were  necessitated  so  to  doe,  having  for  a  long 
time  togeather  at  first  no  minister ;  besids  it  was  no  new  thing  for  he  had  been 
so  maried  himselfe  in  Holland  by  the  magistrats  in  their  Statt-house.^ 

It  was  not  till  1692  that  Massachusetts  laws  provided  that  mar- 
riages might  be  performed  by  ministers.

Holland,  it  could  not  be  said  that  she  was  wholly  without  influence 
on  the  psychology  of  America.^ 

A  few  years  before  the  death  (1854)  of  this  fine  old  idealist  a  fel- 
low countryman  of  his,  equally  fine  though  diametrically  opposed  to 
Huidekoper's  point  of  view  in  theological  matters,  was  leading  a 
band  of  followers  out  into  a  more  remote  wilderness  than  the  terri- 
tory of  the  Holland  Purchase.  In  the  first  year  of  the  Kingdom  of 
the  Netherlands,  as  founded  in  1815,  certain  Protestants  criticized 
the  National  Reformed  Church  as  divided  between  lifeless  orthodoxy 
and  soulless  liberalism.  As  early  as  1822  there  were  some  with- 
drawals from  the  church.  Then  the  movement  grew,  affected  by  an 
evangelical  revival  in  Germany.  The  aim  of  the  protesters  was  to 
revive  the  simple  direct  message  of  the  Scriptures  and  to  accept  no 
substitute.  The  orders  of  the  Government  on  conformity  to  one  set  of 
regulations  induced  seven  ministers  formally  to  separate  themselves 
from  the  national  church,  because  they  could  not  conscientiously  recog- 
nize State  interference  in  theological  matters.  They  were  determined 
to  insure  perfect  liberty  within  the  church.  Eighteen  hundred  and 
thirty-four  may  be  taken  as  the  date  of  the  beginnings  of  the  Afge- 
scheidener  Kerk  (the  separatists'  church)  in  the  Netherlands, 
although  there  was  not  then  any  organization.  King  William  stead- 
fastly adhered  to  the  ideal  of  a  national  church  molded  after  the 
English  model  and  would  not  hear  of  any  deviation  from  the  rule. 
The  preachers  of  the  dissenting  congregations  were  treated  as  mis- 
creants, and  they  suffered  from  a  petty  persecution  until  William  II 
came  to  the  throne.  Then  the  legal  penalties  for  nonconformity 
ceased,  but  a  certain  social  ostracism  continued.  At  the  same  time 
there  was  an  industrial  crisis  in  the  land  and  many  of  the  separatists 
were  artisans  who  were  thrown  out  of  work.  In  1843  potato  rot  and 
cattle  pest  came  to  add  to  the  misery  felt  in  many  localities.  Then  it 
was  that  Domine  van  Raalte  proposed  congregational  emigration  to 
some  place  where  spiritual  freedom  could  be  enjoyed  and  better  ma- 
terial conditions  hoped  for.  Several  ministers  were  ready  to  adopt 
the  plan.  Java  was  the  first  choice  as  destination,  because  the  Neth- 
erlanders  did  not  really  wish  to  change  their  allegiance,  but  the  Gov- 
ernment did  not  further  the  project.  South  Africa  was  talked  of 
and  abandoned,  and  America  was  finally  decided  upon,  although  with 
many  fears  and  much,  trepidation.  An  association  was  constituted 
and  emigration  bureaus  were .  established — every  individual  not  a 
Roman  Catholic  and  not  an  unbeliever  being  acceptable  as  a  colonist, 
but  the  emigration  was  mainly  in  congregations.  Domine  van  Raalte 
proved  a  splendid  leader  to  his  own  people  and  an  inspiring  example 
to  his  fellow  ministers.     He  was  disinterested,  faithful,  and  pos-

religious  interest,  links  have  been  maintained  with  home  churches. 
About  20  years  ago  Johannes  van't  Lindenhout  came  out  to  x\merica 
in  behalf  of  a  foundation  for  the  benefit  of  orphans  to  which  he  de- 
voted himself.  Throughout  the  communities  in  Michigan  and  Iowa 
he  received  the  warmest  of  welcomes  and  was  invited  to  preach  in 
churches  of  all  denominational  shades,  where  the  houses  were  packed 
in  spite  of  the  thermometer  being  at  90°.  The  collections  were  gener- 
ous, although  the  object  was  so  remote,  and  the  visitor  returned 
home  with  the  sense  of  these  helpful  sympathetic  friends  being  real 
kin  across  the  sea.^ 

Since  the  mid-nineteenth  century  there  have  been  several  attempts 
at  assisted  immigration  from  Holland,  but  without  the  idealism 
which  inspired  the  congregational  hegira  and  breathed  into  the  Michi- 
gan settlements  a  peculiar  spirit,  a  spirit  that  alone  is  capable  of 
raising  colonization  to  a  high  level.  The  attempts  have  failed  be- 
cause the  individuals  were  not  moved  by  any  one  impulse  stronger 
than  a  hope  to  better  their  material  condition.  There  was  always 
too  much  expectation  of  what  was  to  be  done  for  the  colonists.  A 
company  formed  to  send  a  colony  out  to  Colorado  in  1892  met  with 
no  success,  and  the  complaints  of  the  methods  used  read  like  the  old 
arraignments  against  the  West  India  Company.  A  stream  of  individ- 
ual immigration  has  continued,  in  varying  but  always  small  numbers, 
and  there  are  few  States  in  the  Union  in  which  Netherland  names 
are  not  found.  The  great  variance  in  the  tale  of  the^e  immigrants 
between  different  years  as  given  in  the  census  reports  is  somewhat 
difficult  to  account  for.  It  is  probably  due  partially  to  home  condi- 
tions and  partially  to  a  lack  of  uniformity  in  the  methods  of  giving 
the  reports.  And,  as  stated  at  the  outset  of  this  paper,  the  numbers 
embarking  on  Dutch  ships  are  fallacious  as  determining  nationality 
with  surety. 

Lastly  the  directories  can  be  made  to  yield  certain  suggestions  as 
to  the  Netherlanders  of  old  and  new  descent  in  certain  cities.  Taking 
the  names  in  "  Van  "  alone,  New  York  has  19  colunms  and  Brooklyn 
12,  together,  while  Chicago  has  23  columns.  The  majority  in  Greater 
New  York  probably  date,  however,  from  the  seventeenth,  and  those 
in  Chicago  from  the  nineteenth  century  inmiigration  as  enterprising 
individuals  from  the  Michigan  towns  have  drifted  thither.  In  the 
Social  Eegister  and  Blue  Book  New  York  leads,  showing  9  columns 
of  "  Vans,"  as  against  8  names  in  Chicago,  while  the  Boston  Blue 
Book  has  only  a  single  "  Van  "  out  of  4  columns  to  be  found  in  the 
city  directory ;  Grand  Eapids  shows  but  10  "  Vans  "  in  her  Social 
Eegister,  few  in  comparison  with  the  76  colunms  of  "  Vans  "  in  her 
city  directory.

XIV.  CONFERENCE  ON  THE  CONTRIBUTION  OF  THE  ROMANCE

REPORT  OF  THE  CONFERENCE  ON  THE  CONTRIBUTION  OF  THE  ROMANCE 
NATIONS  TO  THE  HISTORY  OF  AMERICA. 


By  WiLiAM  R.  Shepherd. 


Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  invitations  to  address  the  conference 
could  not  be  sent  out  in  time,  it  was  agreed  that  the  several  speakers 
should  express  informally  their  views  on  the  topics  communicated  to 
their  charge.  With  the  exception  of  Mr.  Yanes,  whose  admirable 
sketch  of  the  relation  of  the  Republics  of  Latin  America  to  the  gen- 
eral subject  has  been  printed  elsewhere/  the  chief  participants  in  the 
conference  based  their  remarks  on  brief  notes.  Since  the  summary 
that  follows  is  derived  from  abstracts  and  from  press  accounts  of 
these  remarks,  it  necessarily  does  scant  justice  to  the  presentation 
of  the  four  themes  discussed.  The  results  that  it  embodies,  how- 
ever, encourage  the  hope  that  a  conference  on  the  history  of  America 
in  the  broad  sense  may  become  a  permanent  feature  of  the  sessions 
of  the  American  Historical  Association. 

In  his  address  of  introduction  the  chairman  said: 

American  history  does  not  consist  solely  of  the  history  of  the  United  States, 
and  the  history  of  the  United  States  does  not  consist  solely  of  the  history  of  the 
"  Thirteen  Colonies  "  and  of  what  has  proceeded  from  them. 

Effort  is  rarely  made  to  present  the  history  of  the  American  Continents  as  an 
orderly  process  of  development.  The  moment  in  which  the  English  or  the 
Anglo-Americans  arrive  on  the  scene  furnishes  an  excuse  for  ignoring  the 
history  of  all  areas  not  under  their  control.  The  share  of  the  Romance  nations 
in  shaping  the  history  of  America  is  ill  understood  and  less  appreciated. 

In  our  schools  and  colleges,  in  the  textbooks  and  in  the  courses  dealing  with 
"American"  history  the  work  of  the  Spanish,  the  Portuguese,  and  the  French 
is  regularly  treated  as  a  series  of  more  or  less  detached  episodes  possessing  a 
sort  of  picturesque  interest  quite  unimportant  in  character.  What  they  accom- 
plished seems  to  be  regarded  as  something  useful  to  fill  up  a  chronological  void 
before  the  English  established  themselves — a  pretext  for  showing  that  the 
Spanish  and  the  French  settlements  in  this  country  were  allowed  to  exist  only 
because  an  inscrutable  Providence  had  decreed  that  in  the  fullness  of  time  they 
should  come  under  English  rule  and  eventually  form  a  part  of  the  United 
States.  The  tales  of  Spaniards  and  of  Frenchmen  marching,  fighting,  and 
shooting,  wandering  in  the  wilds  of  the  New  World,  now  missionaries,  now

BOMAXCE    XATIOXS   IX   HISTOEY   OF    AMEBIC  A.  223 

our  judgments  regarding  the  desirability  or  the  undesirability,  the  good  or  the 
evil — from  our  point  of  riew — of  the  acts  done  by  any  one  man  or  by  a  group 
of  men.  Then  our  investigation  of  the  truth  of  what  was  and  of  what  is,  wiU 
be  free  from  any  prejudices  on  the  point  of  what  ought  to  have  been. 

To  acknowledge  that  Spain  has  had  a  mighty  share  in  the  civilization  of  the 
western  European  type  established  on  the  Continent  of  America ;  that  she  has 
exercised  a  great  and  fundamental  influence  on  its  history:  that  she  has 
mingled  her  blood  and  united  her  ethnic  type  with  those  of  the  aborigines,  cre- 
ating mixed  peoples  and  new  branches  of  the  old  peninsular  trunk;  that  she 
lias  left  a  deep  impress  on  the  language,  the  religion,  the  science,  the  art,  the 
mind  in  general,  of  vast  regions  in  South,  Central,  and  North  America — ^to 
acknowledge  all  this  is  merely  to  prove  facts,  things  that  have  been  and  are, 
and  that,  whether  good  or  evil,  can  not  be  changed  by  man  to  fit  his  precon- 
ceptions on  the  subject. 

Only  on  the  basis  of  an  exact  and.  so  far  as  possible,  complete  knowledge 
of  the  facts,  such  as  they  were  and  are.  and  from  points  of  view  foreign  to  his- 
tory, may  our  judgment  of  the  facts  be  formed.  Without  this  basis  every  judg- 
ment must  be  precipitate  and  inconsistent.  Proof  thereof  may  be  found  in  the 
corrections  of  the  prejudices  of  former  times  regarding  the  history  of  Spanish 
colonization  in  America,  which  are  constantly  appearing  and  contributing  to  a 
better  knowledge  of  the  facts.  Many  features  of  tlie  work  of  Spain  in  America 
are  viewed  to-day  in  a  manner  very  distinct  from  that  in  which  they  were 
regarded  in  the  middle  of  the  nineteenth  century;  and  we  know  better  now 
those  very  same  facts  to  which  our  judgments  were  applied. 

If  all  this  be  true,  regard  for  the  scientific  precision  and  for  the  sincerity 
incumbent  upon  every  investigator  compels  us  to  admit  that  in  many  of  its 
principal  points  we  know  comparatively  little  about  the  historical  processes 
involved  in  the  Spanish  colonization  of  .America :  and  if  this  circumstanc-e  in 
turn  indicates  a  deficiency  in  our  knowledge  of  the  facts  which  ought  to  act 
as  a  spur  to  further  investigation,  it  reveals  also  the  weakness  and  the  purely 
tentative  character  of  many  of  the  judgments  formed  about  data  snpposed  to 
have  been  historically  weU  founde<l 

In  general,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the  historians  of  Spanish  colonization  in 
America,  except  perhaps  those  who  have  treated  concrete  x>oiiits  of  narrow 
scope,  have  used  but  few  sources  taken  often  at  second  hand,  and  even  then 
not  always  sure  and  impartiaL  The  result  is  that  such  historians  have  done 
little  more  than  to  copy  one  another,  and  that  real  investigation  of  original 
sources  has  been  neglected-  Accordingly  we  know  of  Spanish  action  in  .America 
only  on  its  external  and  superficial  side.  The  history  of  institutions  of  law.  of 
economic  and  social  life,  of  scientific  and  literary  activity,  as  it  has  been  pre- 
sented to  us.  is  full  of  lacunae,  doubts,  legends,  and  questions  without  answer, 
in  spite  of  the  meritorious  essays  or  researches  of  many  who  have  dealt  with 
those  themes.  The  principal  causes  of  this  state  of  afliairs  are  (1)  as  a  rule, 
the  authors  of  the  history  of  colonial  Spanish  America  have  attended  only  to 
the  external  political  events  and  have  not  lent  attention  to  the  Ktilturgeschichte 
and  to  the  history  of  institutions:  (2)  there  are  millions  of  documents  in  the 
archives  of  Spain,  such  as  those  in  the  archives  of  the  Indies  at  Seville,  in 
Simancas,  and  elsewhere,  which  are  little  known  and  less  used.  It  is  evident, 
therefore,  that  the  immediate  duty  of  those  interested  in  the  matter  is  to  have 
calendared,  and  if  possible  to  have  copied  and  published,  the  dociunents  in 
question.  For  that  purpose  there  seems  to  be  nothing  more  practical  than  the 
foundation  in  Spain  (particularly  in  Seville)  by  the  Governments  or  the  uni- 
versities of  the  several  nations  concerned,  or  by  groups  of  learned  men  inter- 
ested in  the  colonial  history  of  Spain  in  America,  of  historical  institutes  sim-

ROMANCE   NATIONS   IN   HISTOEY   OF    AMERICA.  225 

Dr.  Eeuben  Gold  Thwaites,  of  the  State  Historical  Society  of  Wis- 
consin, prefaced  his  treatment  of  "  The  Contribution  of  France  "  with 
a  description  in  outline  of  the  racial,  political,  and  social  contrasts 
between  the  French  inhabitants  of  Canada  and  the  Louisiana  country 
and  the  English  colonists  along  the  Atlantic  seaboard.  He  then  pro- 
ceeded substantially  as  follows: 

The  story  of  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  French  power  in  America  is  one  of  the 
greatest  epics  in  the  records  of  mankind,  and  one  in  which  the  dramatic  unities 
are  revealed  in  all  their  essential  truth.  The  historian  of  the  United  States 
in  particular  ought  to  give  it  more  consideration  by  far  than  that  which  it  has 
received.  He  who  would  trace  the  development  of  the  very  heart  of  this 
country  must  regard  the  colonial  regime  of  France  as  the  opening  chapter  of  his 
narrative,  to  which  the  wanderings  of  the  Spaniard  a  century  earlier  furnish 
a  prelude. 

Perhaps  the  greatest  contribution  made  by  New  France  to  the  history  of 
North  America  was  the  achievements  of  its  explorers.  Before  the  British 
conquest  in  1763  the  French  were  familiar  with  the  region  of  Canada  from  the 
St.  Lawrence  to  the  Saskatchewan,  and  with  that  of  the  United  States  from  the 
Alleghenies  to  the  Rockies. 

Many  of  our  modern  towns  were  once  the  fur-trading  posts  of  the  Frenchman, 
and  our  map  is  studded  with  hundreds  of  French  geographical  names.  The 
French,  indeed,  practically  taught  us  the  fur  trade  and  their  men,  as  well  as 
their  methods,  were  used  by  Americans  down  to  our  own  time. 

Apart  altogether  from  their  devoted  labors  in  behalf  of  Christianity  and 
civilization,  like  their  fellow  workers,  the  Spanish  ecclesiastics  to  the  southward, 
the  French  missionaries  rendered  valuable  service  in  the  cause  of  ethnology. 
They  studied  the  Indian  languages  and  characteristics  with  a  minuteness  of 
observation  which  has  made  their  reports  and  treatises  indispensable  to  the 
specialist  in  this  branch  of  science. 

The  French  of  Quebec  and  the  maritime  provinces,  the  Creoles  in  the  Missis- 
sippi Valley,  the  Huguenots  among  the  settlers  peopling  the  Atlantic  coast  have 
had  a  large  influence  on  our  history  and  are  still  a  dominant  force.  Their 
sturdy,  simple  life,  their  frugal  habits,  their  domestic  graces  and  virtues,  their 
cultivation  of  music  and  the  arts  that  foster  the  innocent  enjoyment  of  life 
have  all  had  a  distinct  share  in  the  molding  of  the  national  spirit  and  character 
throughout  the  major  part  of  the  North  American  Continent. 

But  the  most  grateful  and  pleasing  of  the  various  elements  that  France  has 
contributed  to  the  history  of  America  is  the  dash  of  strong  and  lasting  color, 
of  irresistible  romance  imparted  by  those  who  lived  under  the  French  regime. 
It  provides  the  fascinating  exploits  and  achievements  of  explorers,  like  Cham- 
plain,  Radisson,  Marquette,  La  Salle,  and  Verendrye;  of  fur  traders  and  com- 
mandants like  Duluth,  Perrot,  and  Le  Sueur;  of  state  builders  like  Frontenac 
and  Iberville;  of  soldiers  like  Montcalm.  Above  all  it  illumines  with  rare 
charm  the  humbler  deeds  of  the  Jesuit  missionaries,  of  men  who  furnished 
some  of  the  most  brilliant  examples  on  record  of  heroic  and  self-sacrificing 
devotion  to  an  exalted  purpose.  The  history  of  America,  indeed,  would  lose 
much  of  its  welcome  color,  of  its  warmth  of  tone  and  sentiment  were  the  memo- 
ries of  the  French  to  be  blotted  from  its  stirring  pages. 

At  the  outset  of  his  address  on  "  The  Contribution  of  the  Latin- 
American  Eepublics,"  Mr.  Francisco  J.  Yanes,  of  the  International

Given  the  adverse  conditions  against  which  they  have  had  to 
struggle,  the  States  of  Latin  America  possess  the  comforts  and  con- 
veniences, as  well  as  the  refinements,  of  civilization  to  an  amount  and 
degree  surprising  to  those  who  share  common  prejudices  based  on 
misinformation.  Their  trade  alone  exceeds  in  value  two  billions  of 
dollars  a  year.  They  are  fostering  education,  taking  heed  of  the 
unfortunate,  encouraging  science,  literature,  and  the  fine  arts  so 
earnestly  and  so  thoroughly  that  the  day  is  not  far  distant  when 
their  contribution  to  the  development  of  the  New  World  will  receive 
its  just  meed  of  recognition. 

Kesponding  to  the  invitation  of  the  chairman  for  expressions  of 
opinion  on  the  subject  of,  the  conference,  Prof.  Edward  Luther 
Stevenson,  of  Rutgers  College,  emphasized  the  need  of  special  study^ 
of  the  early  cartography  of  America  as  a  means  of  removing  many 
of  the  prevailing  misapprehensions  in  regard  to  the  processes  of 
colonization  followed  by  the  Eomance  nations.  Prof.  George  Pierce 
Garrison,  of  the  University  of  Texas,  pointed  out  how  greatly  the 
history  of  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  United  States,  first  settled 
by  the  Spaniards,  had  suffered  from  neglect  and  how  rich  the  mate- 
rials awaiting  the  investigator  are.  Mr.  Alberto  Nin  Frias,  the 
former  secretary  of  the  legation  of  Uruguay,  in  closing,  reviewed  the 
progress  of  the  spirit  of  understanding  and  cooperation  among  the  21 
Republics,  which  is  converting  Pan  Americanism  from  a  pious  wish 
into  a  practical  program  of  international  friendship  and  solidarity.

HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES  IN  GREAT  BRITAIN. 


By  George  W.  Prothero. 


Englishmen  are  not  infrequently  charged  with  being  so  absorbed 
in  politics,  or  business,  or  sport,  or  empire  making  in  foreign  parts, 
that  they  have  neither  time  nor  taste  for  the  study  of  their  own  past. 
This  is  doubtless  true  of  a  great  many  people  in  England,  but  I  fancy 
that  we  are  in  this  respect  neither  worse  nor  better  than  other  nations. 
At  all  events,  a  country  which  during  the  last  century  has  produced 
such  historians  as  Lingard,  Palgrave,  and  Kemble;  Hallam  and 
Macaulay ;  Stubbs,  Freeman,  and  Gardiner ;  Froude  and  Lecky ;  Green 
and  Maitland — to  mention  only  the  chief  of  those  who  have  dealt 
with  the  history  of  their  own  people — such  a  country  can  hardly  be 
said  to  have  neglected  its  own  history.  But  it  is  not  of  individuals 
that  I  am  invited  to  speak  to-night ;  my  duty,  as  I  understand  it,  is 
to  give  some  account  of  the  societies,  associations,  clubs — call  them  by 
what  name  we  please — which  exist  in  Great  Britain  for  the  purpose 
of  promoting  the  knowledge  and  study  of  history. 

I  presume  that  I  am  to  put  on  one  side  the  work  done  in  this 
direction  by  the  largest  of  all  societies — the  State ;  but  I  can  not  help 
pointing  out  that  the  Government  of  Great  Britain  has,  for  more  than 
a  century  past,  by  its  various  series  of  documentary  publications,  the 
EoUs  Series,  the  Calendars  of  State  Papers,  the  Keports  of  the 
Historical  MSS.  Commission,  etc.,  done  a  work  for  the  advancement 
of  historical  knowledge  which  no  private  society  could  have  under- 
taken, much  less  performed.  Nor  must  I  dwell  here  on  the  work  of 
those  great  academical  societies — the  universities — though  I  would 
call  your  attention  to  the  remarkable  progress  which  has  been  made 
of  late  years,  at  least  in  the  popularity  of  historical  studies,  not  only 
at  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  but  in  the  ancient  Scottish  and  the  newer 
English  universities;  to  the  creation  of  new  professorships  and  lec- 
tureships, the  institution  of  prizes  for  the  encouragement  of  his- 
torical study,  and  the  constantly  increasing  classes  of  students.  A 
brief  reference  should,  however,  be  made  to  that  newly- founded  but

Netherlands,  and  the  death  of  John  Knox.  It  is  a  long  time  ago, 
before  the  United  States  were  born  or  even  thought  of.  It  used  to 
meet  at  first  in  Sir  Robert  Cotton's  house,  afterwards  known  as  Ash- 
bumham  House,  in  the  Cloisters  at  Westminister.  In  1589  it  applied 
for  a  charter  of  incorporation  as  "  an  Academy  for  the  Study  of 
Antiquities  and  History,"  with  what  result  does  not  appear.  But 
James  I,  who,  as  we  know,  had  a  great  belief  in  his  own  statecraft 
and  had  secrets  to  hide,  dissolved  it  in  1604,  for  fear,  as  we  are  told, 
that  the  society  might  pry  too  much  into  the  arcana  of  government. 
During  the  first  30  years  of  its  existence  its  list  of  members  com- 
prised such  names — ^besides  those  already  mentioned — as  William 
Camden,  the  author  of  Britannia ;  William  Lambarde,  of  the  Eiren- 
archa;  John  Stow,  who  wrote  the  Survey  of  London;  Francis- 
Thynne,  the  first  editor  of  Chaucer ;  Henry  Spelman,  the  legist ;  and 
many  others  known  to  fame.  After  its  dissolution,  the  society  rer 
mained  in  abeyance  for  over  a  century,  from  1604  to  1707;  but  in 
the  latter  year,  a  knot  of  learned  men  began  to  hold  regular  meetings 
again.  Le  Neve,  the  author  of  the  Fasti ;  Stukeley,  of  the  Itineraries ; 
Roger  Gale,  who  collected  Roman  inscriptions ;  and  Browne  Willis,  of 
the  Notitia  Parliamentaria,  were  among  the  refounders  of  the  society. 
The  minutes,  written  for  several  years  in  a  beautiful  hand  by  Stuke- 
ley, are  continuous  from  1718;  so  are  the  registers,  with  the  auto- 
graphs of  many  distinguished  men.  The  society  met  originally  at 
the  Bear  Tavern,  afterwards  at  the  Fountain  in  Fleet  Street  and  other 
similar  places.  Their  meeting  began  with  a  dinner,  probably  at  3  or 
4  p.  m.  Afterwards  they  sat  with  punch  and  pipes  of  tobacco  round 
a  long  table  and  discoursed  of  historical  and  antiquarian  matters. 
In  1751  George  II  incorporated  them  by  royal  charter  and  gave  them 
rooms  at  Somerset  House.  But  they  fitted  up  their  big  room  with  a 
long  table  and  benches  just  as  before — whether  they  continued  to 
drink  punch  and  smoke  tobacco  I  do  not  know.  When,  in  1870,  they 
moved  to  their  present  handsome  rooms  in  Burlington  House  they 
brought  their  old  table  and  benches  with  them,  and  there  the  table 
and  benches  are  to  this  day,  along  with  a  number  of  handsome  chairs 
and  bookcases  made  by  the  upholsterer  of  the  society,  whose  name 
was  Chippendale.  The  society  meets  once  a  week  for  the  purpose  of 
reading  papers.  Its  chief  publication,  called  Archseologia,  now 
making  nearly  100  volumes,  is  invaluable  to  the  mediaeval  historian. 
It  has  also  published  7  volumes  of  Yetusta  Monumenta,  besides 
regular  volumes  of  Proceedings  and  a  number  of  catalogues.  The 
society  numbers  about  700  members.  It  possesses  a  rich  and  very 
valuable  library.  Although  it  has  had  a  continuous  existence  of 
nearly  200  years  it  appears  to  have  the  gift  of  perpetual  youth. 

The  Royal  Archseological  Institute  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland 
was  founded  in  1843.     It  holds  monthly  meetings   and  publishes

could  enumerate  at  least  30 — and  there  must  be  many  more — all  of 
which  publish  transactions  and  papers  which  are  often  of  more  than 
local  interest,  but  I  will  mention  only  a  few  examples.  One  of  the 
best  known  of  these  is  the  Surtees  Society,  founded  in  1835,  which 
publishes  "  inedited  manuscripts,  illustrative  of  the  intellectual,  moral, 
religious,  and  social  conditions  of  those  parts  of  England  which  con- 
stituted the  ancient  Kingdom  of  Northumbria."  It  has  issued  102 
volumes  in  all,  containing  such  valuable  works  as  the  Account'  Rolls 
of  Durham  Abbey,  the  Lives  of  St.  Cuthbert,  Memorials  of  Beverley, 
Fountains,  Eipon,  etc.,  the  Chronicles  of  Hexham,  and  the  works  of 
Simeon  of  Durham.  For  ecclesiastical  and  monastic  history,  in  par- 
ticular, its  work  has  been  invaluable.  The  Spalding  Club  is  another 
local  society  which  has  done  excellent  work.  Its  sphere  of  research 
is  confined  to  Scotland,  and  especially  the  neighborhood  of  Aberdeen. 
It  was  founded  in  1839  and  came  to  an  end  in  1870,  but  was  revived 
in  1886  and  is  now  flourishing.  In  its  earlier  period  it  published  38 
volumes,  and  since  1886  about  an  equal  number,  of  valuable  historical 
works  and  records,  bearing  on  "  the  history,  topography,  and  ar- 
chseology  of  the  northeastern  counties  of  Scotland."  The  Chetham 
Society,  founded  in  1843,  has  its  habitation  in  Manchester,  and  pub- 
lishes "  historical  and  literary  remains  connected  with  the  palatine 
counties  of  Lancaster  and  Chester."  It  has  issued  nearly  180  vol- 
umes, containing  journals,  diaries,  biographies,  letters,  wills,  and 
inventories,  etc.,  casting  a  flood  of  light  on  the  provincial  life  -of  the 
past,  and  on  important  movements  of  wider  interest,  such  as  the 
Presbyterian  establishment  in  Lancashire  in  the  seventeenth  century. 
The  Somerset  Record  Society  long  had  the  advantage  of  Mr.  Free- 
man's solicitous,  and  perhaps  somewhat  tyrannical,  guidance.  It  has 
published  many  documents,  such  as  plea  rolls,  subsidy  rolls,  episco- 
pal registers,  etc.,  illustrating  the  history  of  the  borderland  between 
Celtic  and  Teutonic  Britain.  The  Oxford  Historical  Society  was 
founded  in  1884,  on  lines  suggested  by  John  Richard  Green,  to  whom 
it  is  in  some  sense  a  memorial.  Am.ong  its  founders  were  Bishop 
Stubbs,  E.  A.  Freeman,  and  York  Powell.  Freeman  has  more  than 
once  acknowledged  the  debt  he  owed  to  "Johnnie"  Green  for  the 
stimulating  influence  of  his  notion  of  the  town  as  a  corporate  body 
with  a  continuous  individual  life  of  its  own,  but  illustrating  in  its 
particular  life  story  the  forces  and  principles  which  affected  the 
life  of  the  State  at  large.  The  volumes,  now  numbering  52,  published 
by  the  Oxford  Society,  illustrate  the  truth  of  this  reflection,  and 
throw  much  light  on  the  history  of  both  town  and  university.  It  has 
a  membership  of  about  350.  The  Cambridge  Antiquarian  Society 
was  founded  in  1840.  About  half  the  papers  read  at  its  meetings  are 
concerned  with  the  history  o^  Cambridge  (both  town  and  university) 
and  of  East  Anglia ;  the  rest  deal  with  matters  of  more  general  his-

have  now  rea^etl  to  exist.  I  shall  not  attempt  to  enumerate  these, 
for  I  am  cfmcemed  only  with  what  is  active  at  the  present  moment; 
but  I  can  not  help  liestowin^  ii  paK^-iii^'  glance  on  two  extinct  as^oris- 
tions,  which  did  excellent  work  in  their  day.  These  are  the  Banna-

rpconls,  altout  11*2  volumes  in  all,  dealinf?  8|)ecially  with  SixittUh

IV.  Fourthly,  I  oune  to  the  miscellaneous  class,  comprising  those 
societies  whose  work  is  not  n^ntrictrd  KxtiIIv,  but  is  devote*!  to  tvMne 
more  or  le^s  special  department  of  historical  research.  The  llakluyt 
Society  is  one  which  should  have  n  s|M*cial  interpnt  for  this  audience. 
It  was  foiindeil  in  lH4r>,  with  the  olij«>ct  <»f  publishing — like  the  illus- 
trious and  industrious  collector  from  whom  it  takes  its  name— con- 
t«t  \   accounts  of  notable  voya^fes  and  travels.     Many  of  these 

an  iiely  connecteil  with  the  early  hist«»ry  of  America,  and  of  the 

diecoverirs  which  pave<l  the  way  for  settlement.     It  has  e  meinlH*r4iip

Society,  founded  in  1846,  for  the  publication  of  works  bearing  on  the 
early  history  of  the  Church  of  England,  had  but  a  short  life,  and  is 
long  since  extinct.  The  Jewish  Historical  Society,  founded  in  1892, 
has  its  center  in  London.  It  holds  about  half  a  dozen  meetings  a 
year,  at  which  papers  are  read.  It  publishes  an  occasional  volume  of 
Transactions,  besides  one  or  more  volumes  of  documents  every  year, 
bearing  generally  on  the  history  of  the  Jews  in  England,  but  dealing 
sometimes  with  wider  aspects  of  Jewish  history.  The  Mocatta  Li- 
brary, where  its  meetings  are  held,  is  practically  the  library  of  the 
society.     It  has  a  membership  of  250. 

There  are  in  England:  two  societies  dealing  with  the  auxiliary 
science  of  numismatics,  viz.,  the  Royal  Numismatic  Society  and  the 
British  Numismatic  Society.  The  former  has  a  membership  of  over 
300  and  a  fine  library.  It  holds  monthly  meetings,  and  publishes  the 
papers  read  thereat  in  the  Numismatic  Chronicle,  at  the  rate  of  a 
volume  a  year.  The  British  Numismatic  Society  is  a  larger  body, 
with  a  membership  of  over  500,  aiid  a  library.  It  holds  frequent  meet- 
ings, at  which  papers  on  numismatic  history  are  read ;  and  it  brings 
out  a  volume  of  the  British  Numismatic  Journal,  with  copious  illus- 
trations, annually. 

Finally,  under  this  head,  I  will  mention  two  societies  which  cer- 
tainly do  not  yield,  in  their  importance  for  historical  research,  to 
any  others  in  the  miscellaneous  class.  The  Selden  Society,  called 
after  the  great  lawyer  of  the  seventeenth  century,  was  founded  in 
1886,  for  the  publication  of  records  and  documents  bearing  on  the 
history  and  science  of  English  law.  It  has  now  produced  some 
two  dozen  goodly  volumes,  on  the  legal  and  historical  importance 
of  which  I  need  not  enlarge  before  this  audience.  Till  three  years 
ago,  it  had  the  inestimable  advantage  of  being  under  the  direction 
of  Frederick  William  Maitland,  the  greatest  English  legist  since 
Blackstone,  whose  early  death  leaves  a  gap  that  it  will  probably  take 
generations  to  fill.  The  Navy  Records  Society  is  probably  less  well 
known  to  American  scholars,  but  deserves  equal  recognition  for  the 
ability  of  its  work,  and  the  skill  and  energy  with  which  it  has  been 
directed  by  the  veteran  Prof.  Sir  J.  K.  Laughton.  It  owes  its  origi- 
nal inspiration  to  the  epoch-making  works  of  Admiral  Mahan,  who 
first  showed  Great  Britain  that — like  M.  Jourdan,  when  he  discov- 
ered that  he  had  been  talking  prose  all  his  life — ^her  greatness  de- 
pended on  the  naval  history  she  had  been  making  during  the  larger 
part  of  her  existence.  The  Navy  Records  Society  was  founded  in 
1890,  has  a  membership  of  over  500,  and  has  produced  35  volumes  of 
great  value  to  all  students  of  naval  history. 

Lastly,  in  any  account  of  the  work  done  in  Great  Britain  for  the 
cause  of  history  it  is  impossible  to  omit  all  mention  of  those  societies 
which,  while  concerning  themselves  with  more  or  less  diverse  sub-

octogenarian  scholar,  Dr.  Furnivall.^  The  many  works  published  by 
these  societies,  primarily  interesting  to  the  student  of  English  litera- 
ture, are  also,  in  most  cases,  of  value  for  historical  scholars.  The 
Eoxburghe  Club,  a  small  and  select  body  of  wealthy  amateurs  and 
scholars,  founded  in  1813,  has  published  in  128  volumes,  which  have 
given  their  name  to  a  peculiar  style  of  binding,  many  works  of  great 
historical  value,  such  as  the  Chartulary  of  Colchester,  the  Glaston- 
bury Survey,  Herd's  "  Historia,"  the  "  Liber  Eegalis,"  the  Diary  of 
the  first  Earl  Cowper,  the  Letters  of  Sir  Henry  Wotton,  and  a  collec- 
tion of  Household  Books  throwing  light  on  the  domestic  economy 
of  the  Middle  Ages.  The  Caxton  Society,  while  mainly  concerned 
with  the  origins  of  English  printing,  has  followed  the  example  of  its 
famous  name-giver  by  publishing  many  historical  works,  such  as  the 
Chronicle  of  Peterborough,  the  Chronicles  of  Gaimar,  Geoffrey  le 
Baker,  and  others.  Of  a  somewhat  similar  nature  to  these  two  last 
bodies  was  the  Philobiblon  Society,  now  extinct,  which,  between 
1854  and  1860,  published  21  beautifully  printed  volumes,  containing 
much  miscellaneous  historical  and  biographical  matter,  such  as  the 
account  by  Lord  Herbert  of  Cherbury  of  the  Expedition  to  the  Isle 
of  Khe  (1627)  ;  letters  of  Mme.  cle  Lafayette  to  Washing-ton;  docu- 
ments bearing  on  the  captivity  of  John,  King  of  France,  in  England, 
etc.  Wales  possesses  two  societies  which  deserve  mention  under  this 
head — the  Society  for  the  Publication  of  Welsh  MSS.  and  the  Cymm- 
rodorion  Society.  Many  publications  of  the  former  have  historical 
value ;  while  the  Transactions  of  the  latter  contain,  along  with  purely 
literary  matter,  records  and  documents  bearing  on  the  history  of  the 
Principality. 

A  descriptive  catalogue  of  this  kind  can  not,  I  fear,  fail  to  be 
somewhat  dull;  but  I  trust  that  it  will  now  be  recognized  that  the 
old  country  is  not  backward  or  lethargic  in  its  efforts  to  promote  the 
science  which  those  here  present  are  united  to  honor.  Let  me  sum- 
marize the  remarks  I  have  made  in  what,  so  far  as  I  am  aware,  is  the 
first  attempt  to  form  a  conspectus,  however  imperfect,  of  the  objects 
and  work  of  historical  societies  in  Great  Britain.  I  have  briefly  de- 
scribed some  30  societies  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  history  and 
archaeology  of  Great  Britain,  of  which  26  are  flourishing  at  this 
momenta— not  to  mention  some  9  or  10  others  in  the  "mixed  "  class. 
To  these  26  we  must  add  at  least  24  other  local  societies— say  50 
societies  in  all,  at  present  in  existence.  These  societies  have  a  total 
membership  of,  at  the  lowest  esimate,  17,000  members.  They  have 
published— a  somewhat  appalling  thought— at  least  2,775  volumes. 
One  is  struck,  on  the  one  hand,  by  the  multitude  of  persons  interested 
in  historical  study  and  the  bulk  of  their  literary  output;  on  the  other

THE  WORK  OF  DUTCH  HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES. 


By  H.  T.  COLENBRANDER. 


Before  entering  upon  my  subject,  permit  me  to  say  a  few  words  as 
to  myself  and  my  presence  on  this  platform.  As  secretary  of  the 
Commission  of  Advice  for  National  Historical  Publications  at  the 
Hague,  I  had  the  pleasure  a  few  years  ago  of  receiving  the  visit  of 
j^our  distinguished  member,  Dr.  J.  Franklin  Jameson,  who  showed 
a  keen  interest  in  our  work,  of  which  he  spoke  at  length  in  an  article 
in  the  American  Historical  Review,  "  Gaps  in  the  Published  Records 
of  United  States  History."  ^  Dr.  Jameson  condescended,  after  hav- 
ing given  an  account  of  the  establishment  and  preliminary  activities 
of  our  commission,  to  recommend  it  to  the  attention  of  American  his- 
torical men  as  an  instance  of  what  might  be  done  by  State  support 
for  the  publication  of  historical  materials  on  a  scale  exceeding  the 
means  of  private  enterprise.  Last  summer  my  good  luck  procured  me 
the  acquaintance  of  two  other  members  of  your  association.  Misses 
Ruth  Putnam  and  Lucy  M.  Salmon,  of  whose  visit  to  Holland  I  bear 
the  most  pleasant  remembrance,  and  who  also  showed  themselves 
much  interested  in  our  work.  I  suppose  that  I  am  not  far  wrong  in 
ascribing  to  the  benevolent  intervention  of  these  ladies  and  of  Dr. 
Jameson  the  honor  of  your  invitation,  and  that  I  can  answer  it  best 
by  telling  you  something  of  the  work  our  commission  has  under- 
taken, the  experience  we  have  thus  far  gained,  and  the  present  state 
of  our  achievements.  I  would  only  ask  you  to  be  indulgent  to  a 
man  who  is  obliged  to  address  a  meeting,  the  sympathy  of  which 
he  is  most  eager  to  win,  in  a  language  not  his  own.  If  I  venture  to 
speak  to  you  in  a  doubtful  English  it  js  because  I  feel  sure  that  you 
will  forgive  something  to  a  lecturer  treating  of  the  interests  of  Dutch 
history,  a  subject  never  alien  to  the  countrymen  of  John  Lothrop 
Motley  and,  I  may  add,  of  such  authors  as  Dr.  Jameson  and  Miss 
Ruth  Putnam  themselves. 

As  a  Dutchman,  I  feel  proud  to  be  admitted  into  the  company  of 
leading  American  historical  people.  You  are  much  in  our  thoughts ; 
you  were  never  more  so  than  a  few  months  ago,  when  we  sent  you  the

The  competition  of  1826  was  followed  by  a  period  of  political 
troubles  which  prevented  any  special  and  permanent  attention  being- 
given  to  the  subject  by  official  people.  Nevertheless,  the  remarkable 
start  had  some  results :  the  institution,  in  1827  at  Brussels,  of  a  State 
commission  for  publishing  a  series  of  Scriptores  Eerum  Belgicarum, 
of  which  the  actual  Commission  Royale  d'Histoire  at  Brussels  is  the 
direct  offspring;  a  decree  of  1834,  intrusting  Groen  van  Prinsterer 
with  the  publication  of  Archives  de  la  Maison  d'Orange-Nassau,  and 
a  whole  series  of  measures  for  the  concentration  and  better  preserva- 
tion of  State  archives,  which  for  some  time  after  the  Batavian  revo- 
lution had  been  scattered  all  over  the  country  and  left  in  a  state  of 
sad  neglect ;  especially  during  the  dark  years  in  which,  for  example, 
the  bulk  of  the  archives  of  the  first  West  India  Company  was  de-- 
stroyed,  to  the  great  detriment  of  Dutch  and  American  history  alike. 
In  this  line,  however,  Holland  has  since  learned  to  do  its  duty.  In  the 
care  of  its  archives  it  stands  at  present  second  to  none.  The  State  has 
set  an  example  which  has  been  followed  by  all  the  principal  munici- 
palities, and  the  body  of  its  archivists  is  as  famous  for  its  liberality  as 
for  its  technical  skill.  The  "  Guide  for  the  keeping  and  cataloguing 
of  archives,"  which  was  published  a  few  years  ago  by  the  Association 
of  Dutch  Archivists,  has  acquired  a  well-deserved  reputation,  e^^en  in 
foreign  countries,  and  has  been  translated  into  several  European 
languages. 

In  the  meantime  the  task  of  guiding  and  completing  the  publica- 
tion of  historical  materials  was  left  to  private  enterprise.  From  time 
to  time  some  publications  were  subsidized  by  the  State,  but  not  on 
any  regular  plan.  Most  of  the  work  was  taken  up  by  private  his- 
torical societies,  of  which  it  will  be  now  in  place  to  say  a  few  words. 

The  literary  and  scientific  societies  of  the  Netherlands  date  for  the 
most  part  from  the  second  half  of  the  eighteenth  century,  a  period  of 
much  genuine  interest  in  everything  which  adorns  and  enlightens 
the  human  mind.  They  did  much  to  arouse  and  keep  alive  that  inter- 
est, acting  along  on  their  own  lines,  which  were  wavering  enough  in 
the  estimation  of  our  more  scholarly  age.  Before  the  French  revolu- 
tion every  Province  represented  not  only  a  political  sovereignty,  but 
also  a  focus  of  a  more  or  less  independent  intellectual  life.  Thus, 
on  the  whole,  every  Province  possessed  its  own  scientific  society, 
devoting  itself  to  widely  different  objects  according  to  the  modern 
point  of  view,  each  of  such  objects  being  now  reserved  to  the  care  of 
specialists  organized  in  separate  bodies.  One  of  the  results  of  this 
movement  toward  specialization  has  been  the  establishment  of  his- 
torical societies  proper  in  most  of  the  Provinces  and  in  some  towns. 
Their  vitality,  like  their  usefulness,  has  been  uninterrupted;  they 
devote  themselves  more  and  more  exclusively  to  local  history,  and 
in  course  of  time  their  direction,  once  the  prey  of  diiettantisni,

tions  has  been  greatly  raised  in  later  times  by  effective  editorial  con- 
trol. Monographs  or  articles  are  rigidly  excluded  from  this  annual, 
which  is  devoted  only  to  the  publication  of  short  documents  or  short 
series  of  documents,  with  brief  introductions  and  only  such  explana- 
tory notes  as  are  indispensable. 

Besides  the  publication  of  its  Annual  and  its  Works,  the  Historical 
Society  of  Utrecht  has  done  good  work  in  prescribing  rules  for  the 
publication  of  documents  (which  every  contributor  has  to  observe) 
and  in  preparing  an  historical  atlas  for  the  Netherlands,  the  one  and 
the  other  on  the  same  lines  as  have  been  followed  in  Germany. 

Among  the  Avorks  of  this  society  many  are  familiar  to  eA^ery 
student  of  Dutch  history.  They  present  a  great  variety  of  materials 
and  a  not  less  great  variety  in  the  form  of  publications,  though  in 
this  last  respect  the  present  generation  has  submitted  to  a  much 
greater  degree  of  uniformity  than  was  maintained  by  their  fathers 
and  grandfathers.  Reviewing  the  publications  in  the  chronological 
order  of  the  matters  dealt  with,  we  may  signalize  scA^eral  publications 
of  old  Dutch  chronicles,  like  Melis  Stoke,  Wilhelmus  Procurator, 
Sicke  Benninghe,  a  Cartularium  of  the  Bishopric  of  Utrecht  by 
Mr.  MuUer,  a  BuUarium  Trajectense  by  Dr.  Brom,  the  oldest  accounts 
of  the  counties  of  Holland  and  Zealand,  of  the  Bishopric  of  Uirecht, 
of  the  towns  of  Dordrecht  and  Groningen,  of  the  guilds  of  Dordrecht ; 
a  great  number  of  publications  relating  to  the  history  of  the  Eighty 
Years'  War,  such  as  the  correspondence  of  Lewis  of  Nassau  by  Blok, 
five  volumes  of  documents  on  the  Anjou  period  by  Muller  and 
Diegerick,  documents  on  the  prosecution  of  Grotius  by  Fruin;  edi- 
tions of  old  historians  whose  works  did  not  exist  in  print,  like  Dus- 
seldorp  and  Wicquefort;  the  diary  of  Jan  van  Riebeek,  the  founder 
of  Cape  Colony ;  memorials  on  the  government  of  the  city  of  Amster- 
dam by  an  old  schepen,  Hans  Bontemantel;  the  unpublished  part 
of  the  correspondence  of  John  de  Witt  by  Kernkamp  and  Japikse; 
diaries  of  Constantijn  Huygens  the  younger,  of  great  value  for  the 
daily  history  of  the  court  and  government  of  William  III;  diaries 
of  a  Dutch  burgomaster  of  the  first  half  of  the  eighteenth  century ; 
of  an  Utrecht  nobleman  contemporary  of  William  IV  and  V;  the 
correspondence  of  Capellen  van  de  Poll,  with  many  letters  of  Living- 
ston and  other  prominent  Americans;  the  correspondence  and  memo- 
rials of  van  Goens,  a  leading  publicist  of  the  Orange  Party  about 
1780.  Till  now  the  nineteenth  century  has  been  left  untouched  by 
the  publications  of  the  society. 

Next  to  the  Utrecht  Historical  Society  should  be  named  the  Veree- 
niging  tot  Uitgave  der  Bronnen  van  het  Oude  Vaderlandsche  Recht 
(Society  for  the  Publication  of  the  Sources  of  Ancient  Dutch  Law), 
which  has  published  since  1880  some  30  volumes  relating  to  the  laws 
and  customs  of  a  great  number  of  towns  and  country  districts ;  the

Hut  let  me  H'turn  to  my  main  subject,  the  puldicatmn  >>{  niatenals 
for  the  study  of  I>ut<'h  hi*«tory  ut  lar^. 

Though  the  M*rvice«  of  the  Ttrecht  Historical  Society  had  lieen 
many  and  of  f>Ti*al  merit,  the  s4M*iety  itself  was  ijuite  aware  that  !(>« 
limitt*d  means  in  money  and  men  did  not  allow  it  to  do  all  that  wu^ 
try,  and  often  prevented  it  from  undertaking;  what  was  neede<l 
.VII  the  work  was  paid  for  by  the  contributions  of  private 
members  nn«l  done  by  volunteers  who  could  often  s|>end  on  it 
only  a  ver>'  limited  part  of  their  time.  This  bmufHit  almiit  a  rrrr 
sensible  n»siriction,  not  only  in  the  tpiantity,  but  also  in  the  choice  of 
thinpi  undertaken.  So,  in  the  last  decennium  of  the  nineteenth 
eentur>',  the  society  thoufrht  of  applying  to  the  Slate  for  a  punt 
enabling  it  to  ap|>oint  a  paid  s(^*n'tar>'  who  would  l»e  alwnys  at

.Vt  the  moment  when  this  measure  was  brought  forwanl,  direct 
State  interference  with  the  study  »»f  histor>'  was  in  n«»  ^Kny  a  thinjf

the  inifMirtant  decision  I  allude  to  lielonfr*  entirely  to  the  most 
univepuilly  known  of  living  Dutch  historians.  Prof.  I*.  J.  HInk.  now

sources.  During  periods  like  those  of  the  Middle  Ages,  of  the 
Reformation,  of  the  French  Revolution,  the  history  of  the  Nether- 
lands is  so  interwoven  with  that  of  neighboring  countries  that  in 
order  thoroughly  to  study  it  one  has  to  go  abroad  as  well  as  to 
Dutch  archives;  whilst  the  nation,  in  the  time  of  its  greatest  pros- 
perity, as  a  people  of  traders  and  sailors,  has  had  so  many,  so  various, 
and  so  continuous  relations  with  the  rest  of  the  world  that  it  is 
scarcely  possible  to  go  anywhere  without  discovering  something  of 
interest  to  Dutch  history.  In  limiting  himself  to  the  information 
to  be  drawn  from  Dutch  archives  the  Dutch  historian  could  not 
escape  the  danger  of  narrowing  his  views  and  lessening  the  value  of 
his  results.  This  was  so  evident  that  it  had  not  escaped,  at  all,  the 
attention  of  historians  of  a  more  remote  period.  In  publishing  his 
Archives  de  la  Maison  d'Orange-Nassau,  Groen  had  had  recourse  to 
French  and  German  sources  as  well  as  to  the  documents  in  the 
actual  possession  of  the  royal  famil}^,  while  such  men  as  Bakhuizen 
van  den  Brink,  van  den  Bergh,  and  P.  L.  Muller  had  published 
valuable  reports  on  materials  for  some  parts  of  Dutch  history  in 
the  archives  of  Brussels,  Vienna,  and  Lille.  But  all  the  work  done 
had  been  occasional  and  fragmentary.  At  the  instigation  of  Prof. 
Blok  the  Government  ordered,  in  1886,  a  general  survey  of  materials 
relating  to  Dutch  history  in  foreign  countries,  a  survey  executed 
under  the  direction  of  Prof.  Blok,  and  for  a  great  part  by  himself. 
For  many  years  he  used  to  devote  his  summer  vacations  entirely  to 
this  object.  In  1888  he  was  able  to  issue  a  first  report  on  the  materials 
in  Germany,  followed  the  next  year  by  a  second  one,  dealing  with 
another  part  of  Germany  and  with  Austria.  In  the  following  years 
the  method  of  procedure  was  slightly  altered.  Prof.  Blok  only  going 
out  for  a  preliminary  survey  and  some  younger  scholar,  appointed 
by  him,  finishing  the  work.  This  line  was  adopted  for  Great 
Britain  (preliminary  report  by  Blok,  elaborate  report  by  Brug- 
mans),  Paris  (preliminary  report  by  Blok,  elaborate  ones  by  Van 
Veen  and  Busken  Huet),  and  Italy  (preliminary  report  by  Blok, 
followed  by  the  establishment,  on  his  proposal,  of  a  Dutch  Histori- 
cal Institute  at  Rome,  whose  director,  the  Abbe  Gisbert  Brom,  has 
already  issued  two  volumes  of  a  detailed  catalogue  of  materials  inter- 
esting Dutch  history  in  the  Vatican  archives,  two  others,  dealing 
with  the  Vatican  library  and  other  depots  at  Rome,  being  under 
preparation,  while  a  survey  of  materials  at  Rome  interesting  the 
history  of  Dutch  artists  and  learned  men,  is  being  conducted  by 
specialists  under  Dr.  Brom's  direction).  For  Russia,  Scandinavia, 
Spain,  and  Portugal  the  work  has  been  performed,  respectively,  by 
Profs.  Uhlenbeck,  Kemkamp,  and  Bussemaker,  all  appointed  at  the 
proposal  of  Prof.  Blok,  but  without  any  preliminary  survey  of  his. 
A  few  years  ago  Prof.  Kemkamp  published  a  second  report  on

8,000  guilders  a  year.  Of  each  publication,  150  copies  are  left  to  the 
commission  of  advice  to  dispose  of  as  it  deems  proper,  100  of  these 
copies  being  regularly  presented  by  them  to  libraries  and  institutions 
in  Holland,  the  colonies,  and  abroad,  and  50  reserved  for  presenta- 
tion in  special  cases,  according  to  the  character  of  the  publication. 
The  other  copies  are  handed  over  to  a  bookseller  to  be  sold  at  the  cost 
price  of  printing. 

As  it  was  expected  that  the  mapping  out  of  elaborate  plans  of  pub- 
lication and  an  effective  control  of  their  performance  would  require 
much  time,  the  secretary  of  the  commission,  who,  as  I  mentioned, 
was  a  State  official,  was  discharged  from  any  duty  as  an  archivist, 
and  was  instructed  to  put  himself  entirely  at  the  disposal  of  the, 
commission. 

Such,  then,  were  the  regulations  under  which  the  commission  had 
to  take  in  hand  its  task.  The  way  in  which  it  has  thought  proper 
to  prepare  its  work  has  been  deemed  worthy  of  some  consideration 
by  your  distinguished  member.  Dr.  Jameson,  in  the  article  I  referred 
to  in  the  beginning  of  my  address.  As  he  has  spoken  of  the  pro- 
ceeding at  some  length,  I  will  only  remind  you  of  its  main  features. 

The  commission,  before  entering  upon  its  business,  unanimously 
resolved  to  make  a  general  survey  of  the  materials  available  for  the 
study  of  Dutch  history  in  its  different  parts  and  phases,  and  of  the 
degree  to  which  they  had  been  duly  published.  The  result  was  the 
indication  of  a  certain  number  of  gaps  to  be  filled  up  by  new  publi- 
cations. In  order  to  prevent  as  much  as  possible  all  arbitrariness  of 
proceeding,  and  to  have  things  published  in  their  proper  time  and 
proportion;  in  order  to  obtain,  in  short,  a  maximum  of  efficiency 
at  a  minimum  of  labor  and  expense,  the  commission  resolved  further 
to  plan  out  the  whole  number  of  general  series  as  well  as  minor  publi- 
cations that  were  deemed  necessary  to  arrive  at  a  state  of  things  in 
which  the  original  sources  for  national  history  might  be  said  to  be 
evenly  and  definitely  presented.  Of  course  we  were  quite  aware 
that  it  would  be  impossible  to  carry  out  everything  exactly  as  it  had 
been  originally  planned;  that  the  performance  even  of  part  of  the 
program  would  take  more  than  a  man's  lifetime;  that  experience 
gained  and  new  ideas  arising  would  necessarily  lead  to  many  devia- 
tions from  the  lines  thus  laid  out.  But  this  conviction  could  not 
restrain  us  from  acting  as  we  have  done.  The  reason  why  it  was 
found  necessary  that  a  permanent  and  official  authority  should 
interfere  at  all,  was  precisely  that  the  voluntary  element  had  been  left 
too  much  at  liberty  to  do  what  it  liked,  and  especially  to  neglect  what 
it  did  not  like.  We  had  no  power  to  enforce  fixed  rules,  but  at  least 
that  of  trying  to  observe  them  ourselves.  In  order  that  other  historians 
should  know  what  we  were  about,  we  asked  for  permission  to  publish

preparation.  The  first  volume  of  the  Correspondence  of  Constant! jn 
Huygens,  poet,  courtier,  and  statesman  of  the  seventeenth  century, 
will  also  be  out  next  year;  a  contribution  of  some  interest  to  the 
history  of  Dutch  intellectual  and  social  life  of  that  period.  Publica- 
tions on  the  Eoman,  Merovingian,  and  Carolingian  periods,  on  the 
early  history  of  the  Dutch  Reformation,  on  the  history  of  Dutch 
Catholicism  during  the  time  of  the  Calvinistic  Dutch  Republic,  on 
that  of  Dutch  relations  with  Persia  (the  first  of  a  series  relating  to 
Dutch  colonial  history  in  its  various  aspects),  on  the  history  of 
Leyden  University,  on  that  of  the  Amsterdam  Bank  and  Amsterdam 
Exchange,  will  also  appear  in  due  time.  Enough  to  make  clear  that 
we  did  not  limit  ourselves  to  the  somewhat  academical  task  of  setting 
up  a  program,  but  are  also  doing  our  best  to  carry  it  out  as  far  as 
means  permit. 

If  you  ask  me  to  tell  you  something  of  the  experience  we  have 
gained  since  taking  up  our  task,  I  would  venture  to  say  that  it  has 
been  in  most  respects  reassuring.  The  readiness  of  Dutch  historical 
men  to  give  their  support  to  work  their  Government  had  under- 
taken, a  support  indispensable  for  making  it  what  it  was  intended 
to  be,  a  national  enterprise  under  official  direction,  has  been  most 
satisfactory,  indeed,  and  the  relations  with  private  historical  societies 
are  of  the  most  agreeable  knd.  The  only  respect  in  which  reality 
has  not  quite  confirmed  our  expectations  is  the  difficulty  in  getting 
hold,  not  so  much  of  the  men  as  of  the  time  required  for  thoroughly 
executing  our  plans  on  their  original  scale.  Though  allowing  mod- 
erate fees,  we  are  not  able  to  compensate  adequately  the  great  loss, 
of  time  the  fulfillment  of  our  wishes  implies  for  our  collaborators. 
They  are  an  army  of  volunteers,  and  we  want  professional  soldiers. 
Some  of  the  most  important  series  of  our  Survey  involve  a  labor 
scarcely  to  be  expected  from  any  man  already  charged  with  other 
duties.  This  circumstance  has  led  to  the  conviction  that  it  will  be 
necessary  to  install  something  like  permanent  headquarters  where 
a  few  officers  of  the  staff  will  be  always  at  hand.  The  Government, 
which  has  shown  the  most  enlightened  understanding  of  its  new 
enterprise,  also  has  felt  a  keen  interest  in  this  particular  matter 
and  has  put  on  the  budget  for  the  year  1910  the  necessary  sums  for 
maintaining  a  permanent  editing  office  to  consist  of  a  director, 
a  subdirector,  a  clerk,  and  some  copyists.  While  the  director,  be- 
sides publishing  some  volumes  himself,  will  superintend  the  perform- 
ance of  the  enterprise  at  large,  the  subdirector  will  devote  himself 
principally  to  the  publication  of  one  of  the  most  momentous  and 
useful  of  all  the  series  of  the  Survey,  but  one  that  can  never  be 
finished  by  a  voluntary  collaborator — ^that  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
States  General  from  the  year  1576  to  the  end  of  the  seventeenth

THE  HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES  OF  FRANCE. 


By  Camille  Enlart. 


For  historical  societies  as  well  as  for  all  other  institutions  very 
remote  origins  can  be  found.  By  a  liberal  construction  one  might- 
come  to  see  a  sort  of  historical  society  in  the  unknown  editors  at  the 
court  of  Charlemagne,  who  under  his  inspiration  wrote  the  Annales 
Eegales.  Without  insisting  on  this  point  it  is,  however,  certain  that 
ihe  order  of  St.  Benedict  from  the  ninth  to  the  eighteenth  centuries 
constituted  in  France  a  genuine  historical  society,  not  because  history 
was  its  object  but  because  it  was  its  specialty. 

According  to  the  public  opinion  of  the  Middle  Ages  the  archives  of 
the  Royal  Abbey  of  St.  Denis  contained  treasures  of  historical  docu- 
ments. This  opinion,  it  should  be  said,  is  made  known  to  us  through 
a  literature  which  is  historical  only  in  form  and  which  had  almost  its 
sole  origin  in  the  imagination  of  its  authors.  The  work  of  Monsieur 
Bedier  has  demonstrated  the  role  of  the  great  abbeys  in  the  creation 
of  the  chansons  de  geste,  and  it  is  also  known  that  these  abbeys  were 
the  places  where  were  elaborated  the  legends  of  the  saints.  All 
this  is  what  may  be  called  the  historical  romance  of  the  Middle  Ages, 
but  aside  from  this  literature,  enveloping  and  concealing  a  little 
history,  the  Benedictine  monks  wrote  numerous  chronicles,  sincere, 
serious,  and  of  indisputable  historical  value,  such,  for  example,  as' 
those  of  St.  Benigne  de  Dijon,  of  St.  Bertin  de  St.  Omer,  of  Odon 
de  Deuil,  of  Robert  de  Torigny,  of  Sigebert  de  Gembloux,  of 
Jean  d'Ypres,  and  of  many  others  which  it  would  take  too  long  to 
enumerate. 

When,  then,  in  the  seventeenth  century  the  Benedictines  commenced 
the  publication  of  those  great  historical  works  that  are  the  glory  of 
their  order,  they  only  followed  and  revived  their  old  traditions,  and 
the  manuscripts  of  the  chronicles  which  they  published  were  often 
the  work  of  their  predecessors.  From  1614  Dom  Martin  Marrier 
published  in  collaboration  with  Andre  Duchesne  the  Bibliotheca 
Cluniacensis,  a  collection  of  the  sources  of  the  history  of  the  order 
of  Cluny.  In  1648,  at  a  general  chapter  of  the  Benedictines  held  at 
Vendome,  Dom  Luc  d'Achery  proposed  a  complete  plan  for  the 
revival  of  the  studies  of  the  celebrated  congregation,  which  plan  was

There  should  also  be  cited  the  numerous  and  excellent  works  of 
fitienne  Baluze.  Andre  Duchesne,  iA  1636,  commenced  the  publica- 
tion of  his  edition  of  the  Historiae  Francorum  Scriptores  Cosetanei, 
Volumes  III-V  of  which  were  published  by  his  son.  Colbert  had  had 
the  idea  of  undertaking  a  new  and  better  collection,  an  idea  realized 
by  the  minister  d'Aguesseau  in  charging  the  Benedictine  congrega- 
tion of  Saint  Maur  with  the  publication  of  the  Recueil  des  Historiens 
des  Gaules  et  de  la  France.  The  first  eight  volumes  of  this  work 
were  brought  out  by  Dom  Martin  Bouquet  between  1737  and  1752. 
Down  to  the  revolution  five  other  volumes  were  published  by  other 
monks. 

The  order  of  the  Jesuits  in  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  centuries^ 
also  distinguished  itself  in  France  as  a  learned  society.  Father  Sir- 
mond  brought  out  learnedly  annotated  editions  of  Sidonius  Apol- 
linaris.  of  Fortunatus,  of  Flodoard ;  Father  Labbe  was  an  editor  more 
tireless  than  careful,  but  we  should  be  none  the  less  grateful  to  him 
for  important  services.  It  should  be  noted  also  that  among  the  Bol- 
landists  were  several  French  Jesuits. 

The  most  illustrious  of  French  historical  societies,  the  Academic 
des  Inscriptions  et  Belles  Lettres,  dates  from  1701.  The  principal 
objects  of  the  scholars  and  literary  men  who  composed  it  was,  in  the 
mind  of  Louis  XIV,  to  compose  the  inscriptions  for  the  monuments 
of  his  own  reign  and  to  draw  up  a  program  for  them  which  should 
be  symbolical ;  it  was  to  this  end,  according  to  the  thought'  of  the 
monarch,  that  all  the  studies  of  ancient  monuments  and  inscriptions 
should  be  conducted.  Fortunately,  however,  the  academicians  loved 
antiquity  for  itself;  from  the  beginning  they  studied  it  disinterest- 
edly, and  among  the  forty  elite  there  were  found,  from  the  very  first, 
certain  ones  who  recognized  the  interest  of  the  mediaeval  period,  so 
despised  by  their  contemporaries.  Among  these  should  be  noted 
Freret,  author  of  memoirs  on  the  origins  of  the  Frankish  nation; 
de  Foncemagne,  who  wrote  accounts  of  the  great  historians  .of  the 
Middle  Ages ;  Lacurne  de  Sainte-Palaye,  the  worthy  predecessor  of 
the  philologians  of  the  present  day  and  author  of  one  of  the  first 
glossaries  of  old  French;  Levesque  de  la  Ravaliere,  who,  in  1745, 
made  a  study  of  fourteenth-century  ivories ;  and  finally  and  especially 
Abbe  Lebeuf.  To  this  last  we  owe  critical  studies  on  the  so-called 
chronicle  of  St.  Bertin,  on  Philippe  de  Mezieres,  on  Christine  de 
Pisan,  and  on  gothic  architecture,  which  he  was  the  first  to  study. 
He  is  also  the  author  of  the  history  of  the  diocese  of  Paris. 

Although  the  Academy  of  Inscriptions  was  the  first  nonreligious 
historical  society  it  nevertheless,  along  with  the  Benedictines  and  the 
Jesuits,  failed  to  find  favor  with  the  revolution,  which  took  upon 
itself  the  systematic  destruction  of  all  the  institutions  of  the  old 
regime.    The  Convention,  however,  was  not  wholly  without  interest

Obituaires ;  4  volumes  of  Pouilles  des  Dioceses  de  Lyon,  Eouen,  Tours, 
et  Sens ;  and  finally  the  Corpus  Inscriptionum  Semiticarum  which  at 
present  is  made  up  of  14  parts. 

The  year  1804  saw  the  birth  of  another  society,  established  by  the 
Government  for  the  study  of  history  and  archaeology,  the  Academic 
Celtique.  Its  especial  purpose  was  the  study  of  the  Celts  and  of 
their  monuments,  the  historical  and  artistic  influence  of  which  was 
at  that  time,  thanks  to  Macpherson,  singularly  exaggerated  in  certain 
fervent  imaginations.  The  principal  zealots  were  Eloi  Johanneau, 
Mangourit,  and  Cambry,  and  they  inscribed  as  the  first  honorary 
member  the  celebrated  Latour  d'Auvergne,  "  le  premier  grenadier  de 
France,"  and  author  of  "  Origines  Gauloises."  The  Celtic  researches 
were  less  fruitful  than  had  been  anticipated.  The  fad  passed,  but' 
the  society  remained  and  took  the  name  of  Societe  des  Antiquaires 
de  France.  It  is,  like  the  academies,  composed  of  40  elected  members. 
For  over  a  century  it  has  carried  on  the  publication  of  a  series  of 
memoirs,  and  since  1857  of  a  bulletin,  devoted  to  the  history,  and 
especially  the  archaeology,  of  France  and  of  French  Africa. 

The  Ecole  des  Chartes,  the  idea  of  which  was  inspired  by  Daunou 
in  1807,  was  not  founded  until  1821.  It  was  reorganized  in  1829  and 
again  in  1847.  Since  then,  under  the  direction  of  such  masters  as 
Quicherat,  Natalis  de  Wailly,  Haureau,  Bourquelot,  and  Tardif,  it 
has  accomplished  a  magnificent  and  twofold  work.  In  the  first  place 
it  has  imparted  to  the  youth  a  knowledge  of  the  sources  of  national 
history,  of  philology,  of  palaeography,  of  diplomatic  and  mediaeval 
law,  institutions,  and  archaeology,  previously  ignored  by  us  except 
for  a  small  number  of  scholars.  In  the  second  place,  the  Ecole  des 
Chartes  has  created  a  veritable  historical  method,  and  in  so  doing  has 
rendered  an  immense  service.  In  1839  its  alumni  formed  a  society 
and  began  the  publication  of  a  historical  review  entitled  the  Biblio- 
theque  de  I'Ecole  des  Chartes,  and  devoted  almost  exclusively  to  the 
Middle  Ages.  This  collection  of  70  volumes  is  too  well  known  to 
need  praise  in  this  connection.  In  addition  to  the  review  the  school 
publishes  each  year  a  thesis  chosen  by  the  "  Conseil  de  Perfectionne- 
ment "  from  among  those  presented  by  the  students. 

Under  the  reign  of  Louis  Philippe  and  the  impulse  given  by 
Guizot  and  Salvandy  historical  studies  made  a  remarkable  stride,  as 
evidenced  by  the  institutions  about  to  be  enumerated.  In  1887  was 
created  the  Commission  des  Monuments  Historiques,  composed  of 
architects  and  archaeologists,  the  function  of  which  was  to  supervise 
the  restoration  and  maintenance  of  our  monuments.  This  official 
commission  has  published  two  series  of  "  albums "  reproducing  de 
luxe  the  plans  of  the  architects  and  containing  an  explanatory  text. 
The  title  of  the  two  series  is  Archives  de  la  Commission  des  Monu- 
ments Historiques.

HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES   OF  FRANCE.  265 

The  Societe  des  Anciens  Textes  was  started  in  1875,  and  publishes 
with  the  greatest  care  texts  which  are  literary  rather  than  historical, 
but  which  are  of  interest  for  history  and  philology.  Ninety-one 
volumes  have  already  appeared. 

The  Societe  frangaise  d'Archeologie,  founded  in  1831  by  M. 
de  Caumont,  and  under  the  present  direction  of  M.  Lefevre-Pontalis, 
carries  on  the  historical  study  of  the  monuments  of  French  art.  Each 
year  since  1834  it  has  brought  out  one  volume  of  its  review,  the  Bul- 
letin Monumental,  and  a  volume  of  the  proceedings  and  memoirs  of 
its  meetings. 

One  may  also  consider  as  a  historical  society  the  group  of  scholars 
and  professors  who  direct  the  publication  of  the  Collection  de  Textes 
pour  servir  a  I'Enseignement  de  I'Histoire.  These  texts,  published 
in  a  small  size  and  at  a  moderate  price,  are  edited  with  the  greatest 
care  and  include  chronicles  in  Latin  or  in  French,  as  well  as  collec- 
tions of  diplomatic  or  administrative  documents  bearing  upon  certain 
subjects  or  periods,  and  also  juridical  texts,  such  as  the  Coutume  de 
Beauvoisis,  of  Beaumanoir.  Several  of  these  little  working  editions, 
of  which  there  are  now  over  40,  are  much  superior  to  those  that  had 
already  been  brought  out  in  far  more  pretentious  collections. 

Many  historical  societies  devote  their  investigations  to  a  given 
locality,  a  province,  a  certain  period,  or  to  a  single  subject.  Among 
these  last  should  be  noted  the  Societe  de  I'Histoire  de  I'Orient  Latin, 
founded  in  1875,  which  publishes  a  review — the  Archives  de  FOrient 
Latin — and  a  series  of  fine  editions  of  the  chroniclers  of  the  Crusades. 
There  is  also  the  Societe  de  I'Histoire  du  Protestantisme  frangais, 
founded  in  185S,  which  has  never  ceased  to  be  prosperous  and  vigor- 
ous, and  which  publishes  a  bulletin  rich  in  interesting  and  well- 
presented  documents.  A  bulletin  is  also  published  by  the  Societe  de 
I'Histoire  de  la  Revolution. 

Among  the  local  societies  should  be  noted,  at  Paris,  the  Comite  des 
Travaux  Historiques  de  la  Ville  de  Paris,  which  publishes  a  series 
of  inedited  documents  corresponding  to  the  series  brought  out  by 
the  ministry  of  public  instruction,  and  the  Societe  de  I'Histoire  de 
Paris,  which,  in  addition  to  its  bulletin,  publishes  various  octavo 
volumes,  such  as  the  Memoires  d'un  Bourgeois  de  Paris  du  debut  du 
XV^  Siecle.  For  several  years  each  arrondissement  of  Paris  has  had 
its  Societe  Historique,  publishing  a  bulletin. 

In  the  provinces  we  find  the  same  type  of  historical  societies  in 
great  abundance.  Some  of  them  are  official  and  are  connected  with 
the  prefectures,  such,  for  example,  as  the  Comite  historique  du  Nord, 
the  Commission  departementale  des  Monuments  historiques  du  Pas- 
de-Calais,  etc.  Others  are  established  for  the  study  of  one  of  the 
old  provinces,  such  as  the  antiquarian  societies  of  Normandy,  of 
Picardy,  of  Morinie,  of  the  West   (this  last  at  Poitiers),  or  the

THE  WORK  OF  HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES  IN  SPAIN. 


By   Raeael  Altamika, 


The  origin  of  societies  and  institutions  devoted  to  historical  studies 
in  Spain  may  be  traced  back,  in  the  majority  of  cases,  to  the  eight-- 
eenth  century,  an  epoch  most  propitious  for  this  kind  of  knowl- 
edge. The  critical  spirit  prevailing  in  Europe  had  already  appeared 
in  Spain  in  the  seventeenth  century,  and  owing  to  its  particular 
character,  it  showed  a  decided  tendency  toward  the  revision  of  opin- 
ion in  questions  of  all  kinds,  resulting  in  numerous  series  of  investi- 
gations and  works,  wherein  a  number  of  the  national  historical 
traditions  were  revised.  Ancieijt  authors  were  discussed.  Texts 
were  critically  edited  and  methodological  doctrines  emphasized  (for 
which  a  precedent  had  already  been  established  in  the  sixteenth 
century),  while  the  so-called  auxiliary  sciences  of  history  were  being 
perfected.  On  the  other  hand,  canonical  and  political  questions 
deeply  affected,  and  divided  the  Spaniards  in  that  century,  leading 
the  two  parties  to  the  stud}^  of  the  historical  bases  of  their  respective 
controversies,  and  giving  rise,  among  other  things,  to  the  appoint- 
ment of  official  commissions  to  examine  the  archives,  for  the  purpose 
of  procuring  and  publishing  documentary  evidence.  The  heated  dis- 
cussions provoked  at  the  time,  especially  in  Italy  and  France,  between 
the  elements  friendly  and  unfriendly  to  Spain,  obtained  the  same  re- 
sult, forcing  the  former  to  make  an  arduous  search  in  the  pages  of 
history  to  refute  the  statements  made  by  prejudiced  parties  involv- 
ing a  denial  of  national  culture  and  life.  Finally,  the  favorable 
movement  toward  the  study  of  national  law,  developing  at  the  time, 
attracted  attention  to  the  original  thereof  and  consequently  toward 
the  study  of  the  history  of  Spanish  law.  Such  were  the  four  great 
causes  which  prompted  an  intense  interest  in  the  study  of  historical 
doctrines  and  a  great  development  of  them  all,  and  to  such  an  extent 
that  this  was  perhaps  the  field  where  intellectual  Spain  attained  the 
greatest  splendor  and  made  the  most  lasting  and  abundant  conquests. 
Proof  of  this  preference,  and  nucleus  of  the  merging  of  the  efforts 
made  along  these  lines,  were  the  various  societies  created  in  that 
century,  almost  air  under  the  name  of  "academies."    The  first  of

works  prepared  collectively  or  individually  by  members  of  the 
academy.  These  three  groups,  already  begun  in  the  eighteenth  cen- 
tury and  continued  to  date,  constitute  the  following  series : 

I.  Memoirs  of  the  Royal  Academy  of  History,  10  volumes. 

II.  Geographic  and  Historical  Dictionary  of  Spain.  Begun  in 
the  eighteenth  century.  Only  three  volumes  have  been  published, 
comprising  the  Provinces  of  Biscay,  Navarre,  Rioja,  and  a  portion 
of  that  of  Burgos. 

III.  Assemblies  (Cortes)  of  the  ancient  kingdoms  of  Leon  and 
Castile,  Minutes  of  the  Assemblies  of  Castile,  Assemblies  of  the 
ancient  kingdoms  of  Aragon  and  Valencia  and  the  principality  of 
Catalonia.  Three  series  comprising,  respectively,  7,  27,  and  13 
volumes. 

IV.  Spanish  historical  memoirs.  A  miscellaneous  collection  of 
documents,  short  treatises,  and  a  variety  of  eclectic  writings  of 
diverse  character  and  belonging  to  different  epochs.     43  volumes. 

V.  A  collection  of  Arabic  historical  and  geographical  works. 
Translations.     2  volumes. 

VI.  Sacred  Spain.  That  part  formed  by  Father  Florez  and  its 
additions.     51  volumes. 

VII.  A  literary  visit  to  the  churches  of  Spain,  by  Don  Jaime  7illa- 
nueva.  An  interesting  work  on  account  of  the  bibliographical  and 
archaeological  data  therein  contained.     22  volumes. 

VIII.  A  collection  of  original  documents  relating  to  the  discovery, 
conquest,  and  organization  of  the  former  colonial  possessions  of  Spain. 

IX.  Geographical  reports  of  the  West  Indies,  compiled  by  Don  M. 
Jimenez  de  la  Espada.     4  volumes. 

X.  Spanish-Arabic  library.     8  volumes. 

XL  A  number  of  miscellaneous  works,  among  which  can  be  desig- 
nated an  edition  of  the  Laws  of  Alphonso  X;  another  of  the  juridical 
treatise  of  the  same  monarch ;  another  of  the  Lex  Romana  Visigotho- 
rum  manuscript,  found  at  Leon ;  the  chronicles  of  Henry  IV ;  minutes 
of  the  congresses  of  Americanists;  a  catalogue  of  the  laws  and  pat- 
ents for  the  establishment  of  towns  and  villages  of  Spain  (cartas- 
pueblas)  ;  the  General  and  Natural  History  of  the  Indies,  by  Gon- 
zalo  Fernandez  de  Oviedo,  and  the  History  of  Ferdinand  IV,  of 
Castile. 

Besides  the  foregoing  a  Bulletin  is  published  by  the  academy  in 
which  its  works  are  summarized  and  epigraphical  and  archaeological 
memoirs  are  published,  as  well  as  learned  investigations.  This  Bulle- 
tin was  started  in  1877  and  has  been  kept  up  to  date  by  monthly 
issues  which  constitute  at  the  present  time  55  volumes. 

The  academy  has  the  project  of  publishing  a  collection  of  charters 
(fueros)  containing  and  completing  the  work  begun  by  Muhoz  and 
Romero,  a  manual  of  archaeology,  and  another  of  Spanish  history.

raneous  documents  relating  to  Spanish  history  from  the  most  remote 
epoch  to  the  year  1516,  which  was  conceived  and  its  publication  com- 
menced (but  not  terminated)  by  Don  Luis  Velazquez;  the  remark- 
able  and   very   vast   history   of   the   origin,   progress,   and   present 
condition  of  literature,  written  by  Father  Andres;  the  wonderful 
critical,  sacred,  and  profane  bibliography  by  Father  Miguel  de  San 
Jose  (1740)  ;  the  learned  voyages  of  Villanueva,  Pouz,  Bosarte,  and 
Abella;  the  Catalogue  of  Languages  of  Hervas  and  other  series  of 
works  or  projects  of  imm.ense  conception,  which  prove  the  high  attain- 
ments of  those  men.     At  the  same  time  a  critical  spirit  was  applied 
to  all  investigations,  a  curious  manifestation  of  which  was  the  rigorous 
and  thoughtful  censures  expressed  in  the  "Journal  of  the  Literary  Men 
of  Spain"  (Diario  de  los  Literatos), correcting  at  times  the  historical- 
mistakes  contained  in  books  that  were  published.     This  was  the  first 
example  amongst  us  of  critical  bibliography  of  a  scientific  character. 
Finally,  it  is  noticeable  how  everywhere  the  new  ideas  upon  the 
conception   and   contents  of  history  were   reflected,  an  academical 
manifestation  of  which  is  the  essay  by  Jovellanos  bearing  upon  the 
internal  relation  between  the  history  of  law  and  that  of  the  country 
(revival  of  the  opinion  of  Leibnitz  in  this  matter),  and,  as  an  extra- 
academical  manifestation  of  this  same  spirit,  can  be  cited  the  Critical 
History  of  Spain  and  of  Spanish  Culture,  by  Masdeu. 

In  1713,  some  years  before  the  foundation  of  the  Royal  Academy 
of  History,  the  Spanish  Academy  or  Academy  of  the  Spanish  Lan- 
guage was  founded.  Although  the  latter  gave  special  attention  to 
the  study  and  preservation  of  the  Castilian  language,  it  could  not, 
in  view  of  the  literary  character  of  its  commission  and  of  the 
necessity  of  'acquiring  explanatory  documents  of  the  language, 
abstain  from  engaging  in  the  field  of  investigation  and  in  historical 
publications.  So  it  was  from  the  beginning  and  this  is  the  reason  why 
the  work  of  this  academy  should  be  taken  into  account,  not  only 
in  connection  with  Spanish  literary  history,  but  also  in  connection 
with  the  history  of  law  itself.  So  it  is  this  latter,  and  not  the  Acad- 
emy of  History,  which  has  published,  for  instance,  an  edition  of  the 
compilation  of  the  so-called  "  Fuero  Juzgo  "  and  another  one  of  the 
"Fuero  of  Aviles."  It  also  organized  competitive  contests  where 
prizes  were  awarded  to  biographical  works  bearing  on  important 
Spanish  writings,  the  knowledge  of  which  is  indispensable  to  the 
history  of  peninsular  civilization.  It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  essays 
submitted  on  admission  to  this  academy  have,  likewise,  very  often  a 
historical  character^ 

Concluding  this  account  of  the  institutions  created  in  the  eighteenth 
century,  I  shall  mention  the  Royal  Academy  of  Belles  Lettres  of 
Seville,  founded  in  1751   and  similar  to  the  Barcelona  academy,

century  and  which,  given  up  to  the  studies  designated  by  its  title, 
tends  perforce  to  investigations  of  the  origin  and  -*  -jent  of 
the  arts  and  to  eJiter  into  the  fiehl  of  an'h«?ological  :  :i.  The 
regulations  enacted  for  the  administration  of  the  commiieion  on 
monuments  date  from  1H4 4,  and  they  were  amende<l  M»mc  years  later. 
It  is  the  pH'nigntive  of  the  commiv^ion  to  watch  over  tlie  preserva- 
tion of  all  classes  of  monuments  that  may  have  a  historical  or  artistic 
value:  to  pmmotf  explorations  and  excavations,  and  to  save  from 
destruction  any  object  of  arrhnH>logical  interest.  .Vll  of  these  com* 
misnons  have  thus  lieen  comfM^lleil  to  form  small  museums  containing

on  an'hn»ologiral  subjects,  such  as  those  of  Orense,  ('Aci»res,  Pam- 
plona, and  Vizi^ya  (  nillmo).  Others,  such  as  those  of  Ovietlo,  pub-

Bodies  similar  to  these  commissions  have  been  organized  in  differ- 
ent localities  through  individual  efforts.  Thus,  in  Barcelona,  the 
Artistic  and  Archaeological  Barcelona  Association,  which  publishes  a 
review  (formerly  a  bulletin)  in  which  appear  historical  studies  and 
papers,  and  a  "  Library  of  Albums,"  and  archaeological  works,  very 
praiseworthy,  especially  for  the  study  of  the  history  of  Catalan 
art,  and  the  Archaeological  Society  Luliana,  center  of  the  Mallorca 
men  of  letters,  which  owns  a  museum  and  has  published  for  some 
years  back  a  most  interesting  bulletin,  an  indispensable  source  of 
knowledge  for  Balearic  history.  In  the  same  group  attention  may 
be  called  to  the  "  Societies  of  Excursions,"  which,  first  in  Catalonia, 
then  in  Seville,  Madrid,  and  in  Valladolid  actively  and  specially 
cultivate  the  study  of  monuments  and  historical  places  and  of  pro- 
vincial folklore.  Those  societies  of  Catalonia,  Madrid,  and  Valla- 
dolid publish  various  important  archaeological  reviews  and  some 
books  of  like  character,  which  must  not  be  omitted  in  a  Spanish  his- 
torical bibliography. 

Special  mention  must  be  made  of  the  Society  of  Arabic  Studies, 
organized  by  an  important  group  of  specialists  on  this  subject,  the 
majority  of  whom  are  pupils  of  Prof.  Codera.  This  society  has  pub- 
lished a  series  of  Arabic  texts  and  a  collection  of  Arabic  studies  pre- 
pared in  Zaragoza,  wherein  are  to  be  found  important  works  of  inves- 
tigation and  translations  of  notable  Arabic  books.  This  group,  which 
is  in  communication  with  those  interested  in  Arabic  studies  in'  other 
countries,  enjoys  a  preponderant  authority  in  this  special  field. 

Again  referring  to  the  official  institutions  which  are  of  great  inter- 
est for  historical  science,  and  excluding  the  universities  from  this 
list,^  I  will  mention  in  the  first  place  the  National  Library  of  Madrid, 
which  cooperates  in  the  progress  of  our  studies  by  means  of  annual 
contests  designed  to  give  premiums  for  Spanish  bibliographical 
works.  .Some  of  the  prize  works  have  been  published,  and  they  pro- 
vide considerable  material  for  investigations. 

The  body  of  record  keepers,  librarians,  and  antiquarians,  which  has 
charge  of  the  public  museums,  archives,  and  libraries,^  publishes 
archaeological  and  other  works  of  erudition  in  a  monthly  review, 
Avhich,  after  the  academy's  bulletin,  is  the  most  important  from  an 
historical  viewpoint.  It  publishes  also  original  documents,  mono- 
graphs of  research,  and  historical  bibliographies,  with  abundant  and 
splendid  illustrations. 

The  Koyal  Academy  of  Moral  and  Political  Sciences  (1857)  must 
also  be  mentioned.  It  fosters  the  cultivation  of  the  historical  side  of 
its  studies  in  various  forms,  such  as  discourses  pronounced  upon 
entering  the  academy,  which  sometimes  treat  of  the  history  of  legal

Congress  of  Historical  Sciences  at  Rome,  and  to  the  Annals  of  the  University  of  Oviedo.

plans  just  enumerated  have  been  carried  out:  Of  publications  there 
have  appeared  the  institute's  first  annual,  the  first  installment  of 
the  album,  entitled  "  Catalonian  Mural  Paintings,"  the  first  volume 
of  Don  J.  Botet  y  Siso's  work  on  "  Catalonian  Coins,"  the  collection 
of  documents  gathered  by  Mr.  Kubio  y  Lluch  for  the  history  of 
Catalan  mediaeval  culture  (first  volume),  and  the  first  volume  of 
Don  J.  Puig  y  Cadafalch's  "  Romanesque  Architecture  in  Catalonia." 
Of  other  activities  there  have  been  carried  out  a  juridical-archaeo- 
logical excursion  to  the  country  on  the  western  frontier  of  Catalonia 
for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  juridical  customs  and  traditions  and 
of  studying  monuments,  paintings,  and  household  furniture;  an  ex- 
pedition under  the  auspices  of  the  Catalonian  Excursion  Society  to 
study  the  paintings  found  in  Cogul  (Lerida)  ;  a  third  to  study  in-' 
timately  the  documents  kept  at  the  Archives  of  Pobla  de  Lillet  and 
Baga ;  a  further  expedition  to  copy  and  make  an  investigation  of  the 
Catalan  manuscripts  preserved  in  the  Royal  Library  of  Munich; 
a  final  one  to  take  photographs  and  make  drawings  of  all  Catalan 
historical  objects  shown  in  the  local  exhibitions  of  Zaragoza  (1908) 
and  Valencia  (1909)  ;  the  foundation  of  the  Catalan  Library  with 
the  important  help  of  the  libraries  of  the  learned  Aguilo  and  Aulestia 
and  the  great  poet  Verdaguer,  together  with  the  highly  prized  manu- 
scripts belonging  to  Muntaner,  Turell,  Desclot,  etc.,  and  lastly,  the 
reorganization  and  installation  of  certain  archives.  In  addition  the 
institute  has  prepared  a  critical  edition  of  the  Political  Writings  of 
Ausias  March  and  another  of  the  Catalan  versions  of  the  Bible, 
this  latter  work  having  been  entrusted  to  Sr.  Foulche  Delboscq, 

These  signs  of  great  activity  lead  us  to  believe  that  the  Institute  of 
Catalonian  Studies  will  be  an  important  addition  to  the  academies 
already  existing,  and  that  it  will  become  a  powerful  factor  in  Spanish 
historical  research. 

The^  nature  of  the  present  treatise  excludes  an  account  of  other  un- 
dertakings, individual  rather  than  collective,  which  have  greatly 
contributed  to  historical  culture  in  modern  times,  as,  for  instance,  the 
two  "  Collections  of  inedited  documents  of  the  history  of  Spain ;  "  the 
"  Spanish  Museum  of  Antiquities,"  the  series  entitled  "Architectural 
Monuments  in  Spain,"  and  other  publications  born  of  the  initiative 
of  learned  and  meritorious  persons  or  of  publishers  who  were  in 
search,  at  the  same  time,  of  wealth  and  knowledge.  It  is  fit  and 
proper,  however,  to  bring  such  activities  to  the  attention  of  those 
interested  in  the  progress  of  historical  studies  in  Spain.^ 

1  Since  the  date  of  this  paper  there  has  been  founded  at  Madrid,  under  the  Department 
of  Public  Instruction,  an  Institute  (Centro)  of  Historical  Studies,  in  which  a  group  of 
seminaries  in  the  general,  philosophical,  Arabic,  artistic,  and  legal  history  of  Spain  have 
been  organized.  The  Institute  will  publish  the  monographs  prepared  by  its  members,  as 
well  as  documents  hitherto  unprinted.  Another  institute  has  been  founded  in  Rome  for 
the  exploration  of  the  Vatican  archives  and  for  archaeological  researches.

SIXTH  ANNUAL  CONFERENCE  OF  HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES. 


By  Waldo  G.  Leland. 


The  sixth  annual  conference  of  historical  societies  was  held  at 
Columbia  University,  in  New  York  City,  in  connection  with  the 
twenty-fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Historical  Association, 
on  Thursday  afternoon,  December  30,  1909.  About  50  persons  were 
in  attendance,  most  of  whom  were  delegates  from  historical  socie- 
ties.^ The  conference  was  presided  over  by  Prof.  St.  George  L. 
Sioussat,  of  the  University  of  the  South,  who  had  been  appointed 
chairman  of  the  conference  by  the  council  of  the  American  Histori- 
cal Association.  The  first  paper  on  the  program  was  by  the  chair- 
man, who  had  prepared  an  account  of  the  work  of  the  conference 
during  the  five  years  since  its  organization  in  1904. 

THE  CONFERENCE  OF  HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES,  im-9. 

By  St.  George  L.  Sioussat. 

In  opening  the  sixth  meeting  of  the  conference  of  historical  socie- 
ties it  is  the  privilege  of  the  chairman  to  present  to  those  assembled 
a  brief  resume  of  the  history  of  this  body,  and  of  the  work  which  it 
has  thus  far  accomplished.  The  first  conference  of  historical  socie- 
ties was  held  in  Chicago  on  the  morning  of  Thursday,  December  29, 
1904,  in  connection  with  the  twentieth  annual  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Historical  Association.  The  gathering  was  the  result  of  an  invi- 
tation issued  by  the  program  committee  of  the  association,  which  had 
during  the  preceding  weeks  corresponded  extensively  with  the  socie- 
ties and  State  departments  of  archives  and  history,  particularly  in 
the  Western  and  Southern  States.  As  a  result,  many  letters  had  been 
received,  including  a  great  number  of  suggestions  as  to  the  advisa- 
bility of  such  a  conference  and  as  to  the  lines  of  activity  which  it 
might  profitably  consider.  It  was  reported  that  the  committee  had 
determined  at  the  first  conference  to  restrict  discussion  to  two  points : 
First,  the  best  methods  of  organizing  State  historical  work,  and  sec- 
ond, the  possibility  of  cooperation  between  historical  societies. 

Prior  to  this  time,  however,  the  interests  of  other  historical  societies 
had  been  constantly  before  the  American  Historical  Association. 
This  was  due,  of  course,  primarily  to  the  fact  that  so  many  members

ducted  by  the  author  into  the  present  status  of  the  work  of  historical 
societies  and  an  analysis  of  the  organization  of  such  bodies.  In  this 
investigation  he  had  found  the  number  of  historical  societies  in  the 
United  States  to  be  between  four  and  five  hundred.  He  had  discov- 
ered that  besides  local  historical  societies  and  State  societies  there 
were  several  national  or  regional  organizations,  some  devoted  to  the 
history  of  religious  denominations ;  some,  such  as  the  Holland  and 
Huguenot  societies,  to  the  development  of  national  racial  influences ; 
while  many  bodies  existed  solely  for  purposes  of  genealogy.  The 
State  societies  differed  in  general  along  the  lines  of  two  distinct 
types,  represented,  on  the  one  hand,  by  the  Massachusetts  Historical 
Society,  having  a  limited  private  membership,  and  supported  by  its 
own  funds,  and,  on  the  other,  by  the  State  Historical  Society  of  Wis- 
consin, a  State  institution  with  small  membership  fees  and  extensive 
State  support.  Prof.  Bourne  also  spoke  of  the  work  of  historical  so- 
cieties in  the  field  of  publication  and  in  the  collection  and  preserva- 
tion of  documents.  He  discussed  to  some  extent  the  new  departments 
of  archives  and  history  and  the  publications  authorized  by  the  States. 
A  word  was  also  said  as  to  the  connection  between  the  State  univer- 
sities and  historical  societies.  He  concluded  with  the  question,  What 
shall  be  done  to  increase  cooperation  between  the  societies  as  a  whole  ? 
He  referred  to  the  instance  of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition 
and  its  influence  in  stimulating  the  societies  of  States  and  Terri- 
tories once  included  in  that  domain  to  a  common  effort  to  'affiliate 
for  historical  purposes.  He  cited  the  instance  of  the  Comite  des 
Travaux  Historiques  and  the  beneficial  influence  of  this  upon  the 
work  of  French  historical  societies,  a  topic  on  which  we  shall  hope  to 
hear  further  from  Prof.  Bourne  within  a  few  minutes. 

It  is  to  be  remembered  that  this  paper  was  not  connected  with  the 
conference  of  that  year.  As  a  result  of  Prof.  Bourne's  paper,  how- 
ever, the  council  of  the  Historical  Association  appointed  a  committee 
composed  of  Dr.  Thwaites,  Prof.  Shambaugh,  and  Prof.  Eiley  to 
prepare  an  extensive  report  along  the  lines  which  Prof.  Bourne  had 
laid  down.  To  facilitate  this  work  the  committee  drew  up  a  blank 
form  of  inquiry,  with  very  specific  questions  as  to  age,  official,  or 
State  character,  financial  basis,  membership,  buildings,  libraries,  and 
other  property,  methods  of  work,  publications,  relation  to  local  socie- 
ties, and  prospects  of  each  organization.  This  circular  was  widely 
distributed,  and  the  result  was  a  report,  which  still  remains  the  prin- 
cipal source  of  our  knowledge  as  to  the  actual  basis  of  historical 
organizations  in  this  country.^  The  committee  reported*  to  the  asso- 
ciation at  its  meeting  held  in  Baltimore,  in  1905.     At  the  same  meet-

CON-FEHENCE    OF  HISTORICAL.  SOCIETIES.  285 

Richmond,  1908,  the  first  report  of  this  committee  was  presented, 
and  the  second  report  we  shall  hear  a  little  later  in  the  course  of  the 
present  conference. 

At  the  Madison  conference  Prof.  Salmon,  of  Vassar  College,  dis- 
cussed the  subject  of  the  scientific  organization  of  historical  museums, 
while  Mr.  C.  W.  Ayer  told  of  the  affiliation  of  historical  societies  in 
Massachusetts  in  the  Bay  State  Historical  League. 

Last  year  in  Richmond,  in  addition  to  reports  on  progress  during 
the  year  on  the  part  of  historical  societies  in  general  and  on  the  work 
of  the  committee  on  cooperation,  papers  were  read  which  told  of  the 
application  of  photography  to  the  copying  of  historical  documents 
and  of  the  utility  of  historical  exhibitions  in  the  teaching  of  history 
in  the  broader  sense. 

I  have  thus  recalled  to  you,  by  suggestions  here  and  there,  some  of 
the  topics  which  this  conference  has  had  before  it.  It  is  well  that  the 
utmost  latitude  in  the  choice  of  subjects  should  prevail  and  that  no 
rigid  program  should  be  laid  down  within  which  the  activities  of 
this  body  shall  be  restricted.  It  seems,  indeed,  that  a  process  of 
differentiation  has  developed  by  which  questions  relating  to  archives, 
for  example,  should  be  considered  in  separate  conferences  of  archi- 
vists, like  that  which  forms  an  important  feature  of  the  general  pro- 
gram for  this  meeting  of  the  association.  In  addition,  it  may  be 
said,  that  the  course  of  the  first  five  years  seems  to  show  that  the  first 
committee  was  right  in  its  emphasis  upon  the  necessity  of  Coopera- 
tion between  historical  societies  and  agencies  as  the  one  greatest 
problem  before  us  at  the  present  time,  and  the  problem  which, 
above  all  others,  it  should  be  the  work  of  this  conference  to  meet. 
Let  us  hope  that  the  effort  will  more  and  more  attain  to  complete 
accomplishment. 

Following  the  remarks  of  the  chairman  was  presented  the  report 
of  the  secretary  of  the  conference. 

REPORT  OF  THE  SECRETARY. 

It  has  become  customary  for  the  secretary  of  this  conference  to 
present  in  brief  form  at  each  annual  meeting  a  resume  of  the  work 
of  historical  societies  during  the  past  year.  Following  the  example 
of  the  fourth  and  fifth  conferences,  a  questionnaire  was  sent,  together 
with  an  invitation  to  be  represented  at  the  conference,  to  about  250 
societies  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  The  questionnaire  asked 
for  reports  under  eight  general  headings:  (1)  Membership,  (2)  funds, 
(3)  equipment,  (4)  publications  of  the  year,  (5)  collections,  (6)  new 
enterprises,  (7)  changes  in  organization,  (8)  relations  with  the  State. 
Reports  have  been  received  from  65  societies,  of  which  16  are  located

CONFEHEKCE   OF   HISTOEICAL  SOCIETIES.  287 

947,260  volumes  and  pamphlets;  19  report  an  increase  during  the 
year  of  32,160  volumes  and  pamphlets ;  25  societies  report  79,500  loose 
manuscripts,  exclusive  of  State  archives,  and  6,800  bound  volumes 
of  manuscripts,  while  9  societies  show  an  increase  of  2,950  manu- 
scripts and  12  bound  volumes;  15  societies  report  111,000  museum 
objects,  7  showing  an  increase  of  2,800.  Forty-six  of  the  societies 
report  about  80  publications  ranging  from  newspaper  articles  and 
brief  reports  to  monographs  and  volumes  of  texts.  The  greater  part 
of  the  publications  consist  of  yearbooks,  handbooks,  annual  reports, 
pamphlets,  etc.,  in  which  little  historical  material  is  to  be  found;  10 
of  the  societies  publish  periodicals  in  which  genealogical  materials, 
articles,  and  documents  are  printed.  One  society  which  has  been 
publishing  a  series  of  State  biographies  is  now  preparing  a  series  of 
monographs  on  the  economic  history  of  the  State.  Twenty-eight 
societies  have  engaged  in  historical  activities  and  enterprises  other 
than  publications ;  17  have  marked  historic  sites  or  erected  monuments 
and  tablets,  5  have  transcribed  historical  materials,  such  as  wills, 
deeds,  cemetery  inscriptions,  archive  documents,  etc.,  4  have  engaged 
in  educational  work,  3  have  celebrated  historic  anniversaries.  One 
society  has  devoted  its  efforts  to  securing  legislation  for  a  State 
history  commission,  another  is  engaged  in  a  survey  of  the  sources  of 
State  history  and  plans  to  make  recommendations  respecting  the  fill- 
ing of  gaps  in  the  printed  materials,  another  society  has  participated 
in  an  archaeological  expedition,  while  another  is  trying  to  bring  about 
the  aifiliation  of  all  societies  of  composition  and  object  similar  to  its 
own.  Still  another  society  has  founded  a  medal,  while  a  certain 
State  society  is  exercising  an  informal  censorship  over  local  histories 
proposed  to  be  published.  Several  societies  report  catalogues  of 
their  collections  in  course  of  preparation. 

Bearing  in  mind  that  the  figures  just  presented  are  based  on  but 
partial  returns  one  can  not  fail  to  be  impressed  with  the  strength 
and  resources  of  American  historical  societies.  Their  large  member- 
ship and  the  very  considerable  amount  of  their  funds  reveal  a  power 
which  if  rightly  directed  and  exerted  to  the  highest  degree  would 
achieve  results  of  the  first  importance.  It  is,  however,  impossible 
to  avoid  the  feeling  that  the  results  actually  attained  are  not  com- 
mensurate with  the  resources  and  potential  strength  of  the  societies 
as  a  whole.  Were  these  bodies  consolidated  into  a  single  organiza- 
tion, which  should  work  along  lines  systematically  planned  by  his- 
torical experts,  there  would  undoubtedly  be  a  marked  increase  in  the 
extent  and  importance  of  activities.  But  such  a  consolidation  is 
impracticable,  even  undesirable.  Over-organization  is  a  danger  to  be 
shunned;  individuality  should  be  developed.  Yet  by  conferences, 
such  as  thisj  and  especially  by  participation  in  cooperative  activities

CONFEKENCE   OF   HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES.  289 

Following  the  report  of  the  secretary  the  conference  proceeded  to 
the  transaction  of  miscellaneous  business. 

At  the  suggestion  of  the  chairman  it  was  voted  that  the  chairman 
of  the  conference  be  empowered  to  appoint  a  committee  from  the 
membership  of  the  various  historical  societies  to  confer  with  the 
chairman  and  secretary  in  the  preparation  of  the  program  of  the 
next  conference. 

At  the  suggestion  of  Prof.  Henry  E.  Bourne  it  was  voted  that  the 
council  of  the  American  Historical  Association  be  requested  to  take 
under  consideration  the  preparation  of  a  report  on  the  organization 
and  work  of  historical  societies  in  foreign  countries. 

Mr.  Dunbar  Rowland,  chairman  of  the  committee  of  seven  on  co- 
operation of  historical  departments  and  societies,  read  the  second 
annual  report  of  that  committee,  which  follows  in  full : 


REPORT    OF    COMMITTEE    ON    COOPERATION    OF    HISTORICAL    DEPARTMENTS 

AND  SOCIETIES. 

The  committee  of  seven  on  cooperation  of  historical  departments 
and  societies  submits  the  following  report: 

This  conference  of  the  historical  societies  and  departments  affiliated 
with  the  American  Historical  Association  had  its  origin  in  the  idea 
that  such  organizations  had,  perhaps,  become  too  self -centered,  and 
too  much  given  to  the  old  methods  of  administration  to  be  doing  as 
effective  work  as  they  should.  It  was  evident  that  the  historical 
agencies  of  the  country  were  wasting  time  and  money  in  independent 
researches  which  could  be  conducted  to  better  advantage  by  coopera- 
tive effort.  That  such  conditions  existed  was  clearly  pointed  out  at 
the  first  conference  upon  the  subject  held  in  Chicago  in  1904;  and 
the  meetings  each  year  since  have  confirmed  us  in  the  opinion  that 
cooperation  was  the  cure  for  the  wasteful  and  ineffective  methods 
into  which  the  historical  societies  of  the  country  had  fallen. 

This  consciousness  of  the  necessity  for  cooperation  among  historical 
organizations  had  its  awakening  in  the  historical  circles  of  the  Missis- 
sippi Valley,  and  is,  in  the  main,  attributable  to  the  fact  of  a  common 
interest  in  the  French  occupation  of  this  region ;  though  the  fact  that 
the  historical  work  of  the  South  and  Middle  West  is  largely  sup- 
ported by  the  State  went  far,  I  am  sure,  in  emboldening  your  com- 
mittee to  suggest,  at  the  Richmond  meeting,  a  plan  for  cooperative 
work  in  the  French  archives. 

At  the  Richmond  meeting  the  following  recommendations  of  the 
committee  were  adopted  by  the  conference : 

First.  That  the  historical  agencies  of  the  Mississippi  Basin  join  in  a  coopera- 
tive search  of  the  French  archives  for  historical  material  relating  to  the  States 
embraced  in  that  territory.

CONFEKENCE    OF   HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES.  291 

Leland  an  extensive  knowledge  of  the  archives  to  be  calendared, 
which  is  an  essential  equipment  to  work  of  the  nature  in  which  we 
are  to  engage.  It  is  of  the  first  importance  that  the  calendar  be 
prepared  under  the  direction  and  supervision  of  an  American  student 
of  American  history ;  it  is  also  necessary  that  he  should  be  a  skilled 
archivist  and  an  intelligent  investigator.  To  secure  the  services  of 
such  a  man  was  not  easy,  and  the  consideration  of  that  problem  occu- 
pied the  attention  of  the  committee  for  many  months.  Its  final  solu- 
tion is  due  to  the  generous  cooperation  of  Dr.  J.  F.  Jameson,  director 
of  the  department  of  historical  research  of  the  Carnegie  Institution, 
and  of  Mr.  Leland,  his  assistant.  Dr.  Jameson  was  requested  by  the 
committee  to  ascertain  if  Mr.  Leland's  other  duties  would  allow  him 
to  undertake  the  direction  and  supervision  of  a  complete  calendar  of 
French  archives  relating  to  American  history.  After  discussing  the 
situation,  it  was  decided  that  the  work  could  be  done  in  connection 
with  the  compilation  of  the  guide  to  French  historical  material. 
Mr.  Leland  has  undertaken  the  work  purely  as  a  labor  of  love  and 
gives  his  valuable  services  to  the  committee  without  compensation. 
The  conference  is  indeed  fortunate  in  this  happy  solution  of  the  prob- 
lem of  supervision,  for  under  the  arrangement  made  an  authoritative 
piece  of  work  is  assured. 

The  organization  of  the  undertaking  will  be  left  largely  to  Mr. 
Leland.  He  is  authorized  to  employ  all  necessary  assistance,  and  has 
full  authority  as  to  details.  It  is  the  wish  of  the  committee  to  make 
the  calendar  as  complete  and  comprehensive  as  possible;  and  with 
this  end  in  view  no  limitation  as  to  dates  to  be  covered  has  been  laid 
down. 

Dr.  J.  F.  Jameson  has  been  appointed  treasurer  of  the  calendar 
fund,  and  subscriptions  will  be  sent  to  him  addressed  to  Department 
of  Historical  Research,  500  Bond  Building,  Washington,  D.  C.  Con- 
tributors will  be  notified  when  their  subscriptions  are  needed. 

It  is  somewhat  difficult  to  give  an  exact  estimate  of  the  time  re- 
quired for  the  completion  of  the  calendar;  it  is  believed  that  the 
work  can  be  done  by  the  director  and  four  assistants  in  the  space  of 
one  jea.r.  You  may  be  assured,  however,  that  the  undertaking  will 
not  b^  rushed  at  the  expense  of  accuracy  and  thoroughness. 

Before  closing  this  annual  report  of  progress  your  committee  ex- 
presses its  deep  obligation  to  the  historical  agencies  contributing  to 
the  success  of  the  undertaking  with  which  it  has  been  charged  by  the 
conference.  It  is  expected  that  this  pioneer  movement,  looking  to 
the  cooperation  of  historical  agencies  in  common  fields  of  activity,  is 
but  the  beginning  of  a  work  of  supreme  importance  which,  in  time, 
will  bring  about  the  cooperation  of  the  original  thirteen  States  in 
calendaring  the  English  archives,  and  of  the  Pacific  coast  and  Texas 
in  doing  similar  work  in  the  archives  of  Spain.

WHAT   WE    CAN   LEARN   FROM    THE   PUBLISHING   ACTIVITIES    OF    EUROPEAN 

SOCIETIES. 

By  Henby  E.  Bourne. 

In  attempting  to  draw  from  European  experience  suggestions  for 
the  solution  of  problems  of  publication  of  American  historical  so- 
cieties, I  feel  that  I  should  begin  with  a  preface,  if  not  an  apology, 
for  the  effort  is  beset  with  several  manifest  difficulties.  The  publish- 
ing activities  of  the  European  societies  are  so  multifarious  that  one 
can  hardly  "  see  the  forest  for  the  trees."  In  France  alone  there  are 
about  300  societies,  235  of  which  were  credited  with  some  sort  of 
publications  during  the  year  1905-6.  In  Germany  there  are  more 
than  400.  But  although  the  multiplicity  of  these  organizations  is  at 
first  bewildering,  the  real  hindrance  in  the  way  of  utilizing  for  Ameri- 
can purposes  their  experience  arises  from  the  natural  difference  be- 
tween the  work  they  are  undertaking  and  most  of  the  tasks  which  our 
history  and  our  local  conditions  suggest  to  us.  European  students 
see  at  their  doors  the  monuments  or  the  ruins  of  three  civilizations, 
stretching  over  2,000  years.  To  become  archaeologists,  adepts  of  an- 
cient history,  or  curious  after  the  records  of  mediaeval  life,  is  as  in- 
evitable for  them  as  the  study  of  the  vicissitudes  of  the  slavery 
controversy  or  of  the  settlement  of  the  West  is  for  us.  The  contrasts 
between  mediaeval  and  modern  economic  and  social  organization  im- 
pel them  also  to  far  ventures  into  the  domain  of  economic  history, 
which  as  yet  we  have  barely  entered.  Furthermore,  their  army  of 
trained  investigators  is  relatively  larger  than  ours,  and  includes  one 
strong  force,  that  of  the  professional  archivists,  still  small  with  us. 
The  interest  in  history  is  more  general  among  cultivated  persons,  and 
there  is  a  much  larger  number  of  literary  men  who  are  devoting  their 
lives  to  historical  studies?  They  have  the  additional  advantage  of 
not  being  separated  from  one  another  by  such  magnificent  spaces 
where  persons  seriously  occupied  with  historical  studies  are  either  un- 
heard of  or  live  in  an  isolation  that  is  not  splendid.  It  may  appear 
that  these  differences  of  circumstance  are  so  great  that  one  would 
be  justified  in  declaring  that  the  work  European  societies  are  doing 
is  interesting  rather  than  suggestive. 

It  will  be  necessary  for  me  in  this  paper,  for  the  sake  of  brevity,  to 
limit  my  remarks  to  the  work  of  the  French  and  German  societies, 
although  equally  instructive  illustrations  might,  perhaps,  be  drawn 
from  English,  Italian,  or  Swiss  experience.  The  French  and  Ger- 
man situations  are  also  so  distinct  that  I  wish  to  take  them  up  in 
succession. 

In  France  the  societies  which  concern  themselves  with  history 
belong  to  the  more  general  category  of  "  societes  savantes,"  or  learned 
societies.    While  there  are  many  organized  to  advance  the  study  of

form  a  volume.  As  the  editors  not  infrequently  neglect  to  furnish 
an  index,  it  is  impossible  for  the  bibliographer  to  know  v/hen  the 
volume  is  completed.  There  seems  to  be  reason  to  think  that,  with 
some  notable  exceptions,  these  local  societies  have  ceased  to  grow 
and  are  merely  vegetating.^ 

In  Paris  new  societies  are  coming  into  existence,  while  several 
of  the  older  societies,  like  the  Societe  de  I'Histoire  de  France  and 
the  Societe  de  I'Histoire  de  Paris  et  de  I'lle  de  France,  are  adding  to 
their  long  record  of  useful  publication.  The  number  of  men  devoted 
to  historical  studies  is  so  large  that  each  particular  interest  easily 
becomes  embodied  in  a  society.  Among  the  most  valuable  are  the 
Societe  de  I'Histoire  du  Protestantisme  Frangais;  the  Societe  de 
I'Histoire  de  la  Eevolution  Frangaise,  of  which  Prof.  Aulard  is 
the  tutelary  genius;  the  Societe  d'Histoire  Contemporaine,  which 
is  said  by  its  critics  to  choose  for  publication  documents  which  are 
likely  to  bring  discredit  upon  the  leading  figures  of  the  Revolutionary 
or  NajDoleonic  period.  Among  the  newer  societies  is  one  devoted  to 
Robespierre  studies.  There  is  also  the  Societe  d'Histoire  Moderne, 
which  aims  mainly  to  raise  the  standards  of  critical  historical  work, 
and  of  which  the  Paris  members  meet  monthly  for  conference. 

Ever  since  the  time  when  Guizot  was  minister  of  public  instruc- 
tion there  have  been  efforts  to  organize  cooperation  among  the  many 
local  historical  societies.  M.  de  Caumont  is  credited  with  the  first 
successful  attempt  to  hold  a  "  congress,"  at  which  the  societies  should 
be  represented.  This  was  in  1833.  The  modern  form  of  this  federa- 
tion is  the  annual  Congres  des  Societes  Savantes,  which  has  its  histor- 
ical sections.  From  1861  to  1868  the  Government  published  many 
of  the  papers  presented  at  the  congress,  but  abandoned  the  practice, 
believing  it  wiser  to  expend  the  money  for  the  publication  of 
documents. 

More  important  for  historical  enterprises  than  this  annual  meeting 
has  been  the  work  of  the  Comite  des  Travaux  Historiques,-  first 
appointed  by  Guizot  in  1834  and  many  times  reorganized  since.  Its 
activity  has  been  threefold,  with  an  ambitious  scheme  of  publication, 
the  issuance  of  instructions  to  guide  the  members  of  the  local  histori- 
cal societies  especially,  and  attempts  to  organize  the  disparate  efforts 
of  these  societies  for  the  accomplishment  of  important  common  pur- 
poses of  research  and  publication.  Its  influence  upon  the  work  of 
the  local  societies  has  not  been  decisive.  Many  of  them  seem  to  have 
resented  governmental  interference,  with  its  suggestion  of  the  cen- 
tralizing of  everything  at  Paris.     The  "  Instructions  "  that  have  been

influence  in  keeping  alive  local  interest  in  historical  things,  but  their 
work  of  publication  often  does  more  harm  than  good.  It  appears 
that  over  two  hundred  publish  a  periodical  of  some  sort.  The  mere 
cost  of  printing  so  strains  their  income  that  they  are  unable  to  pay 
even  the  expenses  to  which  an  author  has  been  put  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  his  article.  Under  the  circumstances  it  is  not  surprising 
that  the  supply  of  articles  of  more  than  local  interest  or  importance 
or  of  any  scientific  value  is  inadequate  to  fill  out  the  annual  quota 
of  pages,  and  the  editor  is  obliged  to  accept  less  valuable  contribu- 
tions, whatever  comes  to  hand,  to  print,  it  may  be,  all  the  papers 
that  are  read  at  the  meetings  of  the  society.  The  consequence  is 
that  many  of  the  periodicals  have  forfeited  any  reputation  for  his- 
torical worth  that  they  may  have  had,  and  that  if  an  article  of  value 
is  printed  in  them  it  is  likely  to  be  overlooked.  For  this  situation 
Dr.  Armin  Tille,  of  Dresden,  has  suggested  the  remedy  that  there 
be  only  one  periodical  in  each  Province  and  that  it  should  act  as 
the  representative  of  all  local  societies  of  the  Province.  In  this 
way  the  resources  of  the  weaker  societies  could  be  husbanded  for 
imperative  needs  and  the  book  trade  would  be  relieved  of  much  useless 
lumber.^ 

These  local  societies  have  possessed  since  1853  a  general  federa- 
tion, or  "  Gesamtverein,"  which  holds  annual  meetings  or  congresses 
of  delegates  in  different  cities.  In  1908,  174  of  the  societies  be- 
longed to  this  federation,  although  only  31  of  them  wer^  repre- 
sented at  the  Liibeck  meeting.  It  appears  that  at  the  previous  meeting 
an  effort  had  been  made  to  obtain  pledges  from  the  societies  toward 
carrying  out  some  greater  historical  work,  but  that  in  the  course  of 
the  year  only  seven  had  responded.  This  indicates  that  the  Germans, 
even  with  their  admirable  sense  for  discipline,  have  not  found  the 
problem  of  cooperation  easy  to  solve.  The  principal  work  which 
the  societies  have  thus  far  undertaken  together  is  the  preparation  of 
the  so-called  Grundkarten,  or  basic  maps,  on  such  a  scale  that  the 
boundaries  of  the  local  communities  may  be  indicated.  With  these 
it  has  been  proposed  to  construct  historical  maps  of  the  same  local 
detail  for  the  years  1789,  1654,  and  1541 — years  selected  for  reasons 
connected  with  the  history  of  Germany.  These  Grundkarten^  may 
also  be  used  to  give  a  geographical  setting  to  economic  or  social  facts, 
the  result  of  research  into  the  conditions  characteristic  of  any  period. 
In  addition  to  the  Gesamtverein,  there  exist  federations  of  portions 
of  Germany;  for  example,  one  for  the  south  and  west.  The  general 
federation  possesses  a  periodical,  the  Correspondenzblatt,  edited  by  a 
committee,  which  reports  the  proceedings  of  the  annual  meetings  and

terial  la}'.  For  this  reason  the  Bavarian  commission  has  gradually 
assumed  more  of  the  fimctions  of  a  local  conmiission.  As  an  example 
of  this  subdivision  of  work  may  be  noted  the  abandomnent  of  the 
"  Hanserezesse,''  after  the  work  had  been  completed  to  1130,  to  the 
new  "  Hansischen  Geschichtsverein."  The  collections  of  Weistiimer 
were  also  localized. 

The  Badische  Historische  Kommission  ^  is  the  first  example  of  a 
^*  Publikationsinstitut  **  devoted  to  local  history.  This  conimission 
was  formally  created  in  1883.  Its  governing  body,  which  was  to  be 
composed  of  from  10  to  20  members,  included  at  first  7  university 
professors  and  the  remaining  5  were  either  archivists  or  curators  of 
historical  museums.  Among  the  especially  significant  tasks  under- 
taken were  a  Topographisches  Worterbuch  for  the  Grand  Duchy  of 
Baden  and  a  systematic  catalogue  of  all  the  local  archives,  those  of 
communities,  of  corporations,  and  of  private  families.  The  commis- 
sion also  assumed  control  of  the  Zeitschrift  fiir  die  Geschichte  des 
Oberrheins. 

Another  typical  "  Publikationsinstitut."  although  with  a  some- 
what slighter  official  connection,  is  the  Gesellschaft  fiir  Rheinische 
Geschichtskunde.-  The  board  of  directors  is  chosen  by  an  assembly 
of  the  "  founders.''  "  patrons,"  and  **  members,"  but  the  provincial 
government  has  the  right  to  appoint  one  of  the  board.  Besides  the 
income  from  foimdations  and  contributions  of  various  sorts,  the  so- 
ciety receives  a  subsidy  from  the  provincial  government.  It  may  also 
obtain  subsidies  from  towns  to  assist  in  the  publication  of  doctiments 
of  local  interest.  For  example,  the  city  of  Cologne  contributed  1,000 
marks  for  the  year  1908.  This  society  is  two  years  older  than  the 
Baden  commission,  and  its  work  has  been  eqitally  significant  of  the 
trend  of  the  organization  of  research  in  Germany.  Its  field  is  Rhen- 
ish Prussia,  and  it  has  chosen  for  study  the  period  before  1600,  when, 
through  the  disintegi^ation  of  the  Holy  Roman  Empire,  the  region 
liad  lost  its  unity  and  was  simply  a  gTOup  of  petty  sovereign  states. 
As  the  other  limit  of  the  period  the  establishment  of  Charlemagne's 
Empire  has  been  selected.  Although  the  work  of  the  society  for 
historical  geogi-aphy  has  been  important,  the  plan  to  publish  the 
manorial  records,  collections  of  "  Weistiimer,''  and  to  give  to  the 
publication  of  documents  on  the  towns  a  definite  tendency  toward 
the  illustration  of  all  phases  of  economic  life  in  the  ^Middle  Ages  are 
the  more  distinctive  features  of  its  achievement  and  show  the  in- 
creasing emphasis  placed  upon  social  and  economic  researches  in 
Germany.  Through  this  work  also  a  scientific  basis  is  being  laid 
for  local  history,  which,  until  recently,  had  been  left  almost  wholly

Landwirthschaft,  has,  however,  voted  to  have  prepared  an  "  Intro- 
duction" for  the  use  of  "Village"  historical  writers.  Dr.  Armin 
Tille,  to  whom  the  task  has  been  entrusted,  believes  that  the  larger 
number  of  the  local  histories  are  defective,  not  to  say  worthless. 
He  insists  that  their  central  theme  should  be  found  in  the  social 
and  economic  development  of  each  community.  They  should  be 
based  upon  a  careful  study  of  the  village  "  layout "  and  of  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  arable  land  prior  to  the  practice  of  inclosures.  The 
sources  of  information  should  be  drawn  from  the  local  archives, 
supplemented  by  the  archives  of  neighboring  villages.  The  general 
literature  of  the  Middle  Ages  should  also  be  examined  for  chance 
references.  The  finished  product  should  be  written  in  language  so 
plain  that  its  natural  circle  of  readers,  the  peasants  of  the  village, 
will  be  interested  in  it.  For  this  reason  Dr.  Tille  believes  that  it 
should  begin  with  a  simple  statement  of  the  geographical  and  geo- 
logical characteristics  of  the  village.^  It  is  interesting  to  note  in  this 
connection  that  two  societies  in  northwestern  Germany  have  recently 
offered  prizes  for  the  best  histories  dealing  with  some  local  unit  of 
territory,  and  emphasizing  the  social  and  economic  element. 

A  word  in  regard  to  the  bearing  which  these  somewhat  frag- 
mentary notes  on  the  work  of  French  and  German  historical  socie- 
ties may  have  upon  American  practice.  It  should  be  recalled  that 
those  local  societies  which  have  devoted  their  resources  to  the  collec- 
tion and  publication  of  the  records  upon  which  any  adequate  under- 
standing of  the  life  of  their  region  must  depend  are  now  the  strong- 
est, because  they  have  acquired  a  permanent  raison  d'etre.  It  should 
also  be  recalled  that  the  German  societies  and  commissions  par- 
ticularly have  begun  to  secure  from  governmental  bodies,  of  va- 
rious kinds,  financial  assistance,  for  they  have  proved  that  their 
researches  are  to  result  in  publications  of  interest  beyond  the  circle 
of  the  erudite  and  that  they  will  contribute  to  a  clearer  comprehen- 
sion of  local  civic  and  social  institutions.  A  successful  appeal  has 
been  made  to  a  high  form  of  civic  pride.  It  is  this  work  for  local 
history  which  I  wish  strongly  to  emphasize  in  its  application  to  our 
problems,  including  the  examination  of  all  sorts  of  local  archives 
and  the  publication  of  catalogues  of  these  collections;  the  search  for 
the  documentary  records  of  our  city  institutions,  and  the  publication 
of  the  more  significant  of  these ;  the  search  for  the  scattered  materials 
which  one  day  may  make  possible  adequate  treatments  of  the  indus- 
trial development  of  our  greater  centers  of  manufacturing  and 
trade;  and  the  search  for  the  evidence  out  of  which  must  be  con-

ticular  purpose,  only  to  be  informed  that  copies  can  not  be  taken,  as 
the  society  hopes  to  print  the  collection?  In  your  heart  you  know 
that  the  society,  if  it  ever  does  publish,  will  be  forced  to  make  selec- 
tions out  of  it,  and  among  the  first  to  be  passed  over  will  be  the  six 
or  seven  letters  you  wish.  If  you  wait  a  dozen  years  or  more  you 
will  see  that  this  is  the  case. 

Here  are  seven  mortal  sins  in  the  management  of  manuscript 
materials,  tending  to  destroy  their  usefulness.  For  each  of  these 
sins  may  be  named  as  serious  sins  of  publication,  which  also  tend 
to  reduce  materially,  if  not  to  destroy,  the  historical  utility  or  value 
of  the  documents.  It  may  be  said  that  the  absurd  practice  of  keeping 
manuscript  material  buried  in  societies,  access  to  which  is  controlled 
by  the  selfish  policy  of  a  narrow-minded  custodian,  is  passing,  and 
a  much  more  liberal  policy  has  been  adopted.  When  I  first  began 
to  consult  the  historical  collections  in  the  Department  of  State, 
Washington,  the  personal  whim  of  the  custodian  governed  their  use. 
I  induced  Mr.  Bayard  to  frame  suitable  regulations  under  which 
they  could  be  consulted  and  used  by  students  of  history.  After  more 
than  20  years  the  fruition  of  the  early  efforts  to  liberalize  methods 
was  seen  in  the  Manuscripts  Division  of  the  Library  of  Congress. 
For  the  first  time  a  national  archive  bureau  became  possible. 

Outside  of  the  Federal  Government  and  of  a  very  few  institutions 
which  I  could  name,  reigns  Cimmerian  darkness,  more  or  less  pene- 
trable, according  to  the  charm  you  carry — a  name  of  weight,'  a  letter 
of  introduction,  a  personal  acquaintance  with  the  custodian.  The 
questions  are  ever  present,  what  are  the  functions  of  a  historical 
society,  and  how  far  does  this  particular  institution  fulfill  these  func- 
tions ?  In  nine  out  of  ten  cases  the  defects  do  not  lie  in  the  organiza- 
tion and  by-laws,  for  the  organization  is  practically  the  same  in  all, 
as  are  the  by-laws,  which  are  made  to  protect  against  abuse  and 
destruction.  The  errors  lie  at  the  door  of  the  custodian,  whose  busi- 
ness it  is  to  enforce  or  release  the  by-law^s  according  to  circumstances, 
but  to  lean  on  the  side  of  liberality.  I  need  only  mention  the  case 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society  as  one  of  the  best  conducted 
in  the  land,  advanced  and  generous  to  all;  and  it  has  gained  enor- 
mously by  that  very  openhandedness.  Among  State  institutions  that 
of  Wisconsin  will  stand  well  to  the  fore  for  its  liberal  conduct. 

It  is  one  thing  to  collect  and  another  to  publish.  The  need  of 
collecting  has  been  largely  restricted  by  the  growth  of  the  public 
library.  The  necessary '  tools  of  workers  and  the  rare  or  unusual 
are  proper  objects  of  a  collecting  society.  Yet  even  here  there  are 
limitations.  Why,  for  example,  should  the  Massachusetts  Historical 
Society  seek  to  obtain  by  purchase  the  rarities  of  New  England 
history,  when  copies  are  available  in  the  Boston  Public,  in  Harvard 
University,  in  the  John  Carter  Brown,  and  in  the  American  Anti-

CONFEEENCE   OF   HISTOEICAL  SOCIETIES.  305 

We  have  at  hand  a  notably  heavy  volume,  of  equally  heavy  con- 
tents, giving  a  list  of  the  papers  and  material  printed  by  historical 
societies  of  the  United  States.  It  is  not  complete,  for  it  does  not 
contain  some  well-known  issues.  It  is  a  volume  of  a  thousand  or 
more  pages,  and  one-third  as  many  pages  of  index,  as  cheerful  read- 
ing as  a  cemetery  list.  Is  it  possible  for  anyone  to  trace  from  this 
formidable  list  the  trend  of  such  printing  activity  ?  He  would  find 
periods  of  great  activity  and  well-directed  action,  alternating  with 
periods  of  quiescence  and  perfunctory  performance.  Here  they  are, 
all  jumbled  together,  historical,  genealogical,  and  patriotic  societies; 
one-man,  one-cause,  one-locality  societies ;  personal,  family,  and  home 
societies ;  and  all  apparently  having  but  one  object  in  view,  to  print 
something,  regularly  or  occasionally,  once  or  often.  The  confusion 
becomes  the  greater  when  the  contrasts  of  the  publications  of  a 
single  society  are  examined.  What  is  the  measure  of  interest,  the 
principle  of  exclusion,  or  the  standard  of  judgment?  Is  there  any 
consistent  policy  governing  the  arrangement  of  the  material  or  the 
order  of  publication? 

In  the  earlier  volumes  of  long- established  societies  the  amount  of 
reprinted  matter  overshadows  that  of  original  documents.  In  New 
York  and  in  Massachusetts  there  existed  quite  a  store  of  printed 
material,  of  great  rarity  and  sometimes  to  be  found  only  in  foreign 
libraries,  relating  to  the  very  early  history  of  the  two  sections.  These 
naturally  were  regarded  as  "  manuscript,"  because  of  their  rarity, 
greater  in  that  day  than  now,  and  as  "  historical  documents,"  as 
affording  contemporary  records  of  events.  The  policy  was  justified, 
though  the  manner  of  using  them  was  open  to  criticism.  For  a  bare 
reprint,  in  modem  language  and  without  regard  to  the  form  of  the 
original,  gave  little  that  would  serve  beyond  the  casual  reader. 
What  these  early  tracts  and  volumes  were  capable  of  yielding  in 
good  hands  is  shown  by  the  issues  of  the  Prince  Society  of  Massa- 
chusetts. The  notes,  and  the  extreme  care  to  follow  the  originals, 
have  given  a  veritable  arsenal  of  historical  learning.  No  other 
society  can  exhibit  so  many  volumes  of  so  high  a  character. 

The  fact  was,  the  material  for  making  such  annotated  volumes  was 
not  accessible  to  the  earlier  investigators,  and  we  have  reason  at  this 
day  to  complain  rather  of  the  mass  of  original  documents  yearly 
brought  forth.  The  Maine  Historical  Society  has  issued  a  series  of 
volumes  of  "  papers,"  and  the  States  of  New  Hampshire,  Georgia, 
and  North  Carolina  have  printed  like  collections.  The  mere  aggre- 
gate is  appalling,  though  it  is  better  to  have  the  matter  in  that  form, 
arranged  upon  some  definite  plan  (generally  chronological)  than  to 
have  it  doled  out  piece  by  piece  and  at  odd  intervals.  The  States 
have  in  this  line  done  better  work  than  the  historical  societies,  and  an

buildings,  the  oldest  inhabitants,  the  leading  family,  the  town  tra- 
ditions— material  good  enough  in  itself,  but  needing  judicious  treat- 
ment to  be  made  sufferable.  It  is  generally  left  to  the  tender  mercies 
of  the  profligate  imagination  of  the  genealogist,  and  the  results  are 
deplorable.  The  true  historical  society  must  be  raised  out  of  this 
round  of  petty  subjects,  and  I  admit  that  it  is  the  most  difficult  prob- 
lem to  be  met.  It  can  only  be  met  at  first  by  voluntary  publishing 
committees  acting  upon  a  trained  editor,  with  powers  to  check  or 
curb  his  enthusiasm  and  exuberant  plans  by  the  trials  of  their  ex- 
perience and  active  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  society.  For  selfish, 
limited,  and  personal  interests  must  be  substituted  broad  and  imper- 
sonal interests. 

Does  not  this  point  to  a  further  change  for  the  better  ?  A  change 
indicated  by  the  organization  of  State  historical  societies?  With  a 
central  institution,  supported  by  the  State,  suggesting  to  local  so- 
cieties and  receiving  aid  from  them?  Such  a  centralization  may  be 
impossible  now,  but  I  think  it  possible  in  the  future.  This  would 
also  permit  a  distribution  of  publication,  the  general  topics  or  records 
being  reserved  for  the  leading,  and  the  local  for  the  local  society. 
In  the  Eastern  States  such  a  graded  series  would  be  of  advantage, 
and  would  prevent  duplication  of  publication,  or  the  appearance  in 
an  occasional  and  almost  unknown  issue  of  material  of  really  national 
importance.  Organization  and  cooperation,  mutual  service,  and  re- 
sponsible editorship,  these  conditions  will  go  far  to  remove  the  re- 
proach so  often  uttered  against  the  issues  of  our  historical  societies. 

After  the  reading  of  the  papers  an  interesting  discussion  ensued. 
Dr.  Reuben  Gold  Thwaites,  superintendent  of  the  State  Historical 
Society  of  Wisconsin,  said : 

Mr.  Ford's  paper  is  admirable  in  every  respect.  I  agree  with  him 
entirely.  I  ought,  however,  to  point  out  that  the  situation  of  most 
of  the  historical  societies  in  the  West  is  quite  different  from  that  of 
the  eastern  organizations.  The  former  are  almost  if  not  quite 
wholly  dependent  on  State  appropriations.  In  order  to  secure  polit- 
ical support  it  seems  essential,  at  least  in  the  earlier  years  of  the 
society,  to  produce  publications  having  a  quasi  popular  character. 
When  it  is  remembered  that  legislators  and  public  officials  seek  these 
books  for  free  distribution  to  constituents,  and  often  regard  their 
popularity  as  their  only  excuse  for  being,  one  may  hardly  blame  the 
society  management  for  desiring  to  make  the  volumes,  or  at  least 
part  of  them,  readable  by  men  of  average  interest  and  intelligence. 
This  is  one  quite  sufficient  reason  why  so  much  attention  is  paid  in 
many  States  to  the  narrative  side  of  history — for  the  story  of  the 
pioneers  always  appeals  strongly  to  the  "  general  reader,"

Tlien,  ifTiiin,  let  iia  remember  that  tiie  avenge  western  mciety  is 
entirely  de|>endent  on  the  State  printer.  One  of  the  familiar  nieth<-U

ally, the  MH-iely  ran  not  p>  elsewhere— at   the  \>  -Jrjje,     N<»w. 

State  print inf^  offices  usually  turn  out  wretched  slop  job  work,  done 
on  the  cheajH^st  possible  c<»ntracts.  To  critiri/x*  pa|>er.  ink.  and

viewiM>int  of  |)erfection.  but  unfortunately  tlu^se  homirs  are  too  often 
necesKari'  conditirms  of  State  support. 

Another  matter,  in  which  our  western  societies  are  on  a  different 
f(M»tin^  fn»m  the  eastern,  is  the  lack  of  funds  with  which  to  employ 
really  rom|>etent  «Nliic»rs.  Few  trans-Alle^hany  orpini7jiti<inH  can

ideals,  as  set  forth  by  Mr.  Ford,  should  never  be  lowered ;  in  time,  let 
us*  hope,  the  most  ill-supported  institution  may  attain  them. 

Mr.  Victor  Hugo  Paltsits,  State  historian  of  New  York,  followed 
Dr.  Thwaites :  If  it  is  worth  while  for  historical  societies  to  publish, 
it  is  also  important  that  their^publications  be  presented  in  a  proper 
typographical  dress  and  in  substantial  bindings.  There  are  those  who 
advocate  that  original  public  records  be  written  with  the  best  of  inks 
on  the  most  durable  paper,  who  yet  are  not  so  solicitous  when  they 
themselves  have  editorial  supervision  of  publications  which  contain 
public  records,  manuscripts,  or  other  historical  materials  issued  by  the 
historical  societies  with  which  they  are  connected.  Good  paper,, 
good  type,  good  ink,  and  adequate  editorial  methods  are  not  beyond 
us,  and  it  is  generally  much  easier  for  historical  societies  to  approach 
ideals  than  is  possible  for  publication  departments  of  State  govern- 
ments. On  the  other  hand,  the  highest  ideals  may  be  realized  in  either 
case,  if  the  editorial  direction  reposes  in  one  who  has,  besides  ideals,  a 
good  knowledge  of  the  book  arts. 

Perhaps  my  idea  as  to  manner  of  *  publication  may  be  best  illus- 
trated by  reference  to  two  volumes.  Minutes  of  Commissioners  for 
Conspiracies,  just  published  (1909)  by  the  State  of  New  York,  under 
the  editorial  supervision  of  the  speaker.  The  entire  mechanical  plan 
of  these  volumes — fonts  of  type,  stock  of  paper,  ink,  character  of 
binding,  process  of  illustration,  etc. — was  the  result  of  initiative  and 
cooperation  on  the  part  of  the  editor.  In  Albany  it  was  thought 
such  work  could  not  be  done  by  the  State.  It  has  been  done,  and  at  no 
greater  cost  than  other  volumes  wholly  distasteful  to  a  book  lover. 
What  many  of  our  historical  societies  need  most  to  realize  is  that 
they  ought  to  make  better  books. 

The  discussion  was  closed  by  Mr.  R.  D.  W.  Connor,  secretary  of 
the  North  Carolina  Historical  Commission,  who  spoke  as  follows : 

In  North  Carolina  the  printing  of  historical  sources  has  been  done 
largely,  indeed  almost  entirely,  by  the  State.  Privately  supported 
historical  societies  have  done  but  little  of  this  work. 

The  State  has  been  rather  liberal,  all  things  considered,  in  the 
printing  of  such  material.  Beginning  in  1886  the  State,  through  the 
trustees  of  the  State  library,  has  issued  26  large  volumes  of  colonial 
records  and  State  records  covering  the  period  between  1662  and  1790. 
This  work  was  done  under  the  editorship  of  William  L.  Saunders, 
secretary  of  state,  who  compiled  and  edited  the  10  volumes  covering 
the  period  from  1662  to  1776,  and  Walter  Clark,  at  present  chief 
justice,  who  completed  the  series.  The  volumes  have  been  indexed 
by  Dr.  Stephen  B.  Weeks,  and  the  index  is  now  in  press.

of  kaolin  for  his  subject,  and,  having  searched  diligently  through 
many  lands,  returned,  to  find  it  at  his  own  door.  And  so,  in  casting 
about  for  the  wherewithal  by  which  the  materials  of  the  past  may  be 
molded  into  the  statue  of  the  future  in  the  publication  of  these  fast- 
vanishing  records,  it  has  seemed  to  some  of  us  that  a  mine  of  resource 
is  to  be  found  close  at  hand  in  the  patriotic  society  as  a  method  of 
publication. 

In  one  of  these — the  National  Society  of  the  Colonial  Dames  of 
America — the  process  of  development  has  been  interesting  and  may 
help  others  wishing  to  work  in  this  same  field.  In  the  council  of 
that  body,  meeting  in  Washington  in  1900,  a  committee  was  formed 
for  colonial-study  courses  and  historic  research,  of  which  the  first 
division  covered  not  only  some  acquaintance  with  the  colonial  period 
by  means  of  the  study  class,  lectures,  and  collections  of  lantern  slides, 
but  the  acquisition  of  old  bills,  deeds,  letters,  diaries,  manuscripts  of 
all  sorts,  pamphlets,  and  the  kindred  treasures  which  so  many  old 
garrets  have  sheltered,  and,  alas !  which  they  have  also  in  many  cases 
yielded  up  to  the  annual  auto  de  fe  of  the  thrifty  and  merciless 
housewife. 

The  second  division  of  the  committee  provided  for  the  investigation 
and  publication  of  courthouse  records,  church  registers,  and,  through 
the  medium  of  the  pedigree  papers — each  one  containing  records  of 
the  services  of  from  one  to  twelve  officials  of  the  colonial  era,  under 
notarial  signature — to  prepare  biographical  sketches,  which,  in  the 
form  of  monograph  or  brief,  should  be  exchanged  from  one  society 
to  another.  /To  these  suggestions  the  36  societies  responded  nobly, 
and  only  the  limitations  of  time  and  space  restrain  us  from  listing 
some  of  their  fine  contributions  in  such  publications. 

The  first  monograph  published  by  the  committee  as  a  whole  was 
taken  from  the  correspondence  with  her  relations  in  the  colonies,  of 
Helena  Wolsely  Sprat — the  wife  of  the  Bishop  of  Rochester,  that 
inglorious  prelate  so  ably  described  by  Macaulay — ^under  title  of  Notes 
from  the  Letter  Book  of  a  Colonial  Dame. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Historical  Association  in  Philadel- 
phia a  wider  flight  was  planned  when  through  the  kind  interest  of 
Dr.  J.  Franklin  Jameson,  of  the  Carnegie  Institution,  we  were  ad- 
vised to  take  up  work  which  would  be  of  common  interest  to  all  the 
colonies,  and  also  render  available  original  material  hitherto  inacces- 
sible to  the  student.  The  Correspondence  of  William  Pitt,  Lord 
Chatham,  with  the  Military  Commanders  and  Colonial  Governors  of 
North  America  was  suggested,  placed  before  the  council  and  this 
special  patriotic  society  proved  its  faith  by  its  works  in  the  prompt 
appropriation  of  $2,500  for  its  publication.  We  owe,  it  should  be 
said,  to  the  Virginia  society  and  to  our  national  president,  Mrs. 
William  Ruffin  Cox,  the  generous  gift  of  the  first  $40  necessary  for

Arizona. — Miss  Sharlot  M.  Hall,  historian  of  Arizona,  Phoenix. 

California. — Dr.  Jacob  N.  Bowman,  professor  of  history,  Uni- 
versity of  California,  Berkeley. 

Nehrasha. — Mr.  H.  W.  Hodgkins,  Mr.  A.  E.  Warren,  Lincoln. 

Ohio. — Dr.  Isaac  J.-  Cox,  professor  of  history,  University  of  Cin- 
cinnati, Cincinnati. 

The  work  of  investigation  of  the  public  archives  in  a  number  of 
States  has  been  actively  in  progress  through  the  cooperation  of  the 
adjunct  and  associate  members  of  the  commission,  particularly  in  the 
States  of  California,  Colorado,  Illinois,  Kentucky,  Nebraska,  and 
Vermont,  and  in  the  Territories  of  Arizona  and  New  Mexico.  Work 
in  the  preparation  of  the  above  reports  has  progressed  sufficiently  to 
enable  the  presentation  of  only  two  reports  at  this  time,  which  are 
submitted  herewith  as  follows :  First,  a  report  on  the  public  archives 
of  Illinois,  by  Prof.  Clarence  W.  Alvord  and  Mr.  Theodore  C.  Pease, 
of  the  University  of  Illinois ;  second,  a  report  on  the  archives  of  the 
Territory  of  New  Mexico,  by  Prof.  John  H.  Vaughan,  of  the  College 
of  Agricultural  and  Mechanic  Arts  in  that  territory. 

The  work  of  the  selection,  and  supervision  of  the  transcribing,  of 
documents  relating  to  American  history  in  the  English  archives  for 
the  Library  of  Congress,  which  was  inaugurated  in  1902,  has  been 
continued  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  Charles  M.  Andrews,  member 
of  the  commission  in  charge  of  this  undertaking.  The  total  number 
of  transcripts  received  up  to  date  aggregates  about  80,000  folios  of 
foolscap  size.  They  are  now  in  process  of  being  catalogued.  They 
have  been  selected  chiefly  from  the  manuscripts  in  the  British 
Museum  and  the  Record  Office,  as  also  to  a  less  extent  from  those  in 
the  Bodleian  Library,  Oxford.  The  list  of  additions  to  June  30, 
1909,  is  given  in  the  last  report  of  the  Librarian  of  Congress.^  This 
collection  of  transcripts  has  now  grown  to  such  a  size  that  it  should 
prove  of  great  interest,  value,  and  convenience  to  the  student  of

PUBLIC   ARCHIVES   COMMISSION.  331 

These  papers  and  the  abstracts  of  the  discussions  are  submitted 
herewith  as  a  portion  of  this  report.  The  importance  of  the  papers 
contributed  and  the  interest  aroused  by  this  conference  would  seem 
to  point  to  an  annual  conference  of  archivists,  at  which  an  oppor- 
tunity can  be  afforded  to  discuss  problems  of  com.mon  interest  to 
American  archivists  and  historical  students  generally. 

Several  important  acts  have  been  passed  during  the  year  relating 
to  the  preservation  and  custody  of  archives,  as  also  a  number  of 
minor  measures  in  regard  to  the  preservation  and  publication  of 
archive  material,  in  addition  to  appropriations  for  the  support  of 
State  historical  societies.  First  among  the  latter  may  be  mentioned 
the  act  of  Arkansas,  establishing  a  permanent  history  commission^ 
This  act  is  the  outgrowth  of  a  temporary  commission  established  by 
the  law  of  April  27,  1905.^  The  present  law  provides  for  a  history 
commission  composed  of  the  chief  justice,  the  president  of  the  State 
University,  the  president  of  the  State  Normal  College,  and  six  mem- 
bers to  be  appointed  by  the  governor.  After  the  first  commission  the 
term  of  office  of  appointive  members  is  12  years.  The  commission  is 
given  a  salaried  secretary  with  headquarters  at  the  State  capitoL  The 
full  text  of  the  act  follows. 

An  act  to  create  the  Arkansas  History  Conmdssion  and  to  define  its  duties.^ 

Section  1.  That  there  is  hereby  created  and  established  the  Arkansas  History 
Commission.  The  headquarters  of  the  commission  shall  be  at  the  State  capitol 
in  apartments  to  be  set  aside  for  its  use  by  the  governor,  or  such  other  place  as 
may  be  designated  at  any  time  by  the  general  assembly.  The  object  and  purpose 
of  said  commission  are  the  care  and  custody  of  official  archives,  the  collection  of 
materials  bearing  on  the  history  of  the  State  from  the  earliest  times,  the  editing 
of  official  records  and  other  historical  sources,  the  encouragement  of  historical 
work  and  research,  and  the  performance  of  such  other  work  as  may  be  required 
by  law. 

Sec.  2.  That  the  said  commission  shall  consist  of  the  chief  justice,  the  presi- 
dents of  the  University  of  Arkansas  and  of  the  State  Normal  at  Conway,  and  of 
six  others  to  be  appointed  by  the  governor  subject  to  confirmation  by  the  senate. 
At  the  first  meeting  of  the  commission  the  six  appointive  members  by  lot  shall 
divide  themselves  into  six  classes,  whose  terms  of  service  shall  expire  respec- 
tively at  the  end  of  two,  four,  six,  eight,  ten,  and  twelve  years.  After  the  first 
commission,  the  term  of  service  of  appointive  members  shall  be  twelve  years. 
The  beginning  of  the  several  terms  for  the  purposes  of  this  act  shall  be  January 
first,  nineteen  hundred  and  nine.  Appointees  to  fill  vacancies  occasioned  by 
death  or  resignation  shall  serve  merely  for  the  unexpired  terms  of  their  prede- 
cessors. That  said  commission  shall  hold  at  the  State  capitol  at  least  one  regu- 
lar meeting  each  year  and  as  many  special  meetings  as  may  be  necessary,  and  at 
said  meetings  five  members  shall  constitute  a  quorum.  The  commissioners  shall 
receive  no  compensation  for  their  services ;  only  the  necessary  expenses  incurred 
by  them  in  attending  meetings  shall  be  allowed.  The  commission  is  empowered 
to  adopt  rules  for  its  own  government  and  for  the  conduct  of  business  committed 
to  its  charge,  to  elect  a  secretary,  and  to  perform  all  other  acts  necessary  to 
carry  out  the  purposes  of  this  act.  The  commission  may  call  upon  the  governor 
for  such  rooms  in  the  new  capitol  as  its  needs  require  unless  another  place  is 
designated  by  the  general  assembly  of  the  State,  and  it  is  hereby  made  the  duty 
of  the  governor  to  set  apart  said  rooms  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  commission. 

iThe  text  of  the  act  of  1905  is  given  in  the  American  Historical  Association  Report 
for  1905,  vol.  1,  p.  331. 

2  This  is  a  revised  form  of  senate  bill  47,  which,  on  a  technicality,  was  defeated  in  1907.

PUBLIC  AKCHIVES   COMMISSION.  333 

preservation  in  the  State  library  any  records  not  in  current  use  in  his 
office.  With  the  early  completion  of  the  new  State  library  and 
supreme  court  building,  authorized  by  act  of  1907,  complete  and 
modern  equipment  will  be  provided  for  the  custody  of  the  archives 
and  records  of  the  State.     The  text  of  the  recent  act  follows : 

An  act  concerning  the  preservation  of  books,  records,  and  documents. 

Be  it  enacted  'by  the  senate  and  house  of  representatives  in  general  assemUy 
convened : 

Section  1.  Any  official  of  the  State  or  of  any  county  or  town  or  any  other 
official  may  turn  over  to  the  State  librarian,  with  his  consent,  for  permanent 
preservation  in  the  State  library,  any  official  books,  records,  documents,  original 
papers,  or  files,  not  in  current  use  in  his  office,  taking  a  receipt  therefor,  which 
shall  be  recorded;  and  said  official  may  in  like  manner  turn  over  to  the  State 
librarian,  with  hfs  consent,  for  use  of  the  State,  any  printed  books,  records; 
documents,  or  reports  not  in  current  use  in  his  said  office.  Nothing  herein, 
however,  shall  be  construed  to  allow  the  removal  of  any  books  or  records  affect- 
ing the  title  to  any  estate,  real  or  personal,  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  official 
having  custody  of  such  records. 

Sec.  2.  The  State  librarian  shall  embody  in  his  report  to  the  governor  a  gen- 
eral list  of  all  such  books,  records,  documents,  or  papers  so  received,  and,  upon 
the  request  of  any  person  entitled  thereto,  shall  furnish  a  certified  copy  of  any 
such  record,  document,  or  paper,  and  said  certified  copy  shall  be  entitled  to  the 
same  weight  as  evidence  as  though  certified  by  the  authority  by  whom  said 
record,  document,  or  paper  was  deposited  with  said  librarian.^ 

Approved,  July  26,  1909. 

Owing  to  the  zeal  of  the  State  historian  of  Maine,  Eev.  Henry  S. 
Burrage,  D.  D.,  the  legislature  of  the  State  amended  the  act  establish- 
ing the  office  of  the  State  historian,  passed  in  1907,  enlarging  the 
scope  of  the  office  and  making  a  small  appropriation  for  tlie  assem- 
bling and  preserving  of  records  and  documents  relating  to  the  history 
of  the  State.     The  text  of  this  legislation  follows : 

Resolved,  That  the  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  be,  and  is  hereby,  appropriated 
for  the  year  nineteen  hundred  and  nine,  and  one  thousand  dollars  for  the  year 
nineteen  hundred  and  ten,  to  be  expended  by  the  State  historian  in  arranging, 
classifying,  collecting,  preserving,  and  indexing  books,  manuscripts,  records,  doc- 
uments, and  papers  now  or  hereafter  in  the  possession  of  the  State  of  Maine, 
or  in  purchasing  books,  manuscripts,  records,  documents,  and  papers  relating 
to  the  history  of  the  State,  so  that  the  same  may  be  made  accessible  to  all 
persons  desiring  to  use  them  and  who  may  be  entitled  to  do  so.  And  the  State 
historian  shall  report  biennially  to  the  governor  and  council  the  results  of  the 
work  done  under  this  resolve. 

Approved,  April  2,  1909.' 

It  is  hoped  that  with  the  completion  of  the  new  capitol  adequate 
provision  will  be  made  for  the  proper  care  of  the  State  archives  and 
that  the  legislature  will  make  more  ample  provision  for  the  same. 
The  legislature  also  appropriated  money  for  the  further  publication 
of  the  Baxter  manuscripts  and  for  the  issue  of  a  monograph  by  Dr. 
Burrage,  entitled  "  Maine  at  Louisburg  in  1745."  ^ 

An  act  of  the  Legislature  of  Texas,  approved  March  19,  1909, 
separated  the  State  library  from  its  rather  anomalous  connection

PHOCEEDINGS  OF  FIRST  ANNUAL  CONFERENCE  OF  ARCHIVISTS. 

NEW  YORK  CITY,  DECEMBER  30,  1909. 


73885°— 11 22  337 


CONFERENCE  OF  ARCHIVISTS. 

INTRODUCTORY  REMARKS  BY  THE  CHAIRMAN,  PROF.  HERMAN  V.  AMES. 

The  present  meeting  marks  the  tenth  anniversary  of  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  public  archives  commission.  It  may,  therefore,  be 
appropriate  briefly  to  review  its  work. 

From  the  first  the  commission  has  been  careful  not  to  duplicate  the 
work  of  any  existing  agency,  nor  has  it  undertaken  the  publication  of 
archives,  but  it  has  devoted  its  attention  primarily  to  an  investigation 
into  the  character,  content,  condition,  and  availability  of  the  public 
archives  of  the  several  States  and,  to  a  limited  extent,  of  local 
archives,  and,  secondly,  to  stimulating  and  promoting  legislation  by 
the  States  which  would  lead  to  more  adequate  provision  being  made 
for  a  rational  and  scientific  treatment  of  documentary  material. 

Most  of  those  present  are  probably  familiar  with  what  has  been 
accomplished  in  the  way  of  publishing  information  respecting  the 
public  archives.  Suffice  it  to  say  that,  including  the  report  for  1908, 
now  in  press,  some  41  reports  have  been  published  on  the  archives 
of  30  States  and  of  the  cities  of  New  York  and  Philadelphia.  About 
one-half  of  these  have  been  preliminary  and  partial;  the  remaining 
reports  have  been  fairly  comprehensive  and  some  quite  full  and 
adequate. 

In  addition  the  commission  has  published  a  bibliography  of  the 
available  printed  archives  of  the  thirteen  original  States  for  the  colo- 
nial period  and  the  State  period  to  1789,  compiled  by  Miss  Hasse,  of 
the  New  York  Public  Library,  which  appeared  in  the  report  for 
1906.  A  second  bibliographical  contribution  was  presented  in  the 
report  for  1908.  This  is  a  list  of  the  journals  of  councils  and  assem- 
blies and  the  acts  of  the  thirteen  original  colonies  and  the  Floridas 
preserved  among  the  colonial  papers  in  the  Public  Eecord  Office  in 
London.  This  list  has  been  edited  by  Prof.  Andrews  and  has  been 
so  arranged  that  it  presents  a  record  of  the  sessions  of  the  councils 
and  assemblies  in  the  several  colonies,  indicating  in  each  case  the 
material  which  is  to  be  found  in  the  record  office.  Both  of  these  com- 
pilations, it  is  believed,  will  serve  as  useful  guides. 

It  is  a  more  difficult  task  to  estimate  the  influence  of  the  commis- 
sion's work  in  arousing  interest  in  the  proper  care  of  the  public 
archives.     It  is,  however,  a  significant  fact  that  the  decade  during

association  that  the  time  was  now  opportune  for  a  new  departure 
insuring  a  further  development  of  its  work.  Accordingly,  this 
present  conference  of  archivists  has  been  arranged  for  the  considera- 
tion of  questions  of  practical  importance  to  archivists,  such,  for  ex- 
ample, as  the  methods  to  be  employed  in  the  care,  classification,  and 
use  of  manuscript  archives.  In  order  that  Ave  may  profit  from  the 
experience  of  other  countries  in  meeting  similar  problems,  the  first 
and  main  topic  on  the  program  has  been  selected.  The  paper  will  be 
presented  and  the  discussion  will  be  participated  in  by  persons  who 
are  especially  well  qualified,  by  reason  of  their  unusual  opportunities, 
to  speak  with  authority  on  the  particular  phases  of  the  subject 
assigned  to  them. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  it  may  be  possible,  as  a  result  of  this  and 
of  similar  conferences,  which  it  is  hoped  will  follow,  to  collect  suffi- 
cient data  relating  to  such  subjects  as  the  classification,  indexing, 
calendaring,  methods  of  filing,  repairing,  and  mounting  of  manu- 
script documents,  and  to  other  incidental  problems,  to  make  possible 
the  preparation  of  a  manual  or  guide  for  archivists.

A  preliniinar}'  sur^'ey  of  the  Hituation  shows  us  that  we  have  two 
claiMeH  of  problems  to  wilve.  In  one  class  the  pr(4>lems  are  ci»n- 
cenieil  more  with  what  %vo  may  term  the  external  n*pdation  of  the 
archives— that  is,  the  legislation  creating?  an«l  p»verninj:  the  admin- 
istraticNi  of  the  archive?^— in  the  other  clans  the  pn»blems  are  thcwe 
of  the  internal  ectmomy  of  the  archives,  in  other  wonis  the  pn>l>-

national  government.  It  does  not  need  to  be  pointed  out  that  this 
is  impossible  in  America;  instead  of  one  archives  administration 
we  must  always  have  at  least  47  (and  more  as  new  States  are 
added),  all  mutually  exclusive  of  each  other.  The  Federal  Gov- 
ernment controls  the  archives  of  all  of  its  offices,  whether  located  in 
the  District  of  Columbia  or  elsewhere;  each  State  government  con- 
trols the  records  of  its  own  offices  and  may  extend  its  authority  over 
the  records  of  the  city,  town,  and  county  offices  within  its  territory. 
The  efforts  to  secure  legislation,  then,  must  be  widely  distributed. 

Perhaps  they  should  first  of  all  be  concentrated  upon  the  National 
Government.  That  the  Government  of  the  United  States  should  be 
so  far  behind  those  not  onlj  of  all  European  countries,  but  also  of 
such  countries  as  Canada,  Mexico,  and  Cuba,  as  regards  provision 
for  its  archives  is  certainly  not  a  cause  for  national  pride.  There 
are  in  Washington  alone  over  a  hundred  depositories  of  records.  In 
some  of  the  executive  departments  a  certain  degree  of  centralization 
has  been  effected;  in  others  the  decentralization  is  extreme.  Access 
to  some  bodies  of  records  is  too  easy,  to  others  too  difficult.  In  many 
cases  the  records  are  grossly  neglected,  stored  in  places  where  their 
deterioration  is  inevitable,  and  not  a  few  are  in  grave  danger  from 
fire.  The  Library  of  Congress  has  done  something  to  mitigate  the 
evil  by  causing  to  be  transferred  to  the  Division  of  Manuscripts  cer- 
tain groups  of  material  possessed  of  especial  historical  interest.  But 
it  is  a  serious  question  to  what  extent  bodies  of  archives  should  be 
transferred  to  a  division  of  manuscripts  in  a  library.  Indeed,  there 
is  much  to  be  said  against  it,^  and  no  satisfactory  solution  of  our 
national  archive  problem  short  of  a  national  archive  depot  is  to  be 
looked  for.  To  this  end,  it  would  seem,  should  be  devoted  the  first 
efforts  of  all  those  interested  in  American  archives.  The  creation 
of  such  a  depot  or  "  Hall  of  records,"  would  undoubtedly  do  much 
to  stimulate  similar  action  in  the  various  States,  and  such  a  depot 
would  serve  as  a  model — as  the  Library  of  Congress  has  done  in  its 
own  field — as  regards  archival  practice  and  methods. 

In  many  States  something  has  already  been  done ;  in  some  States 
really  effective  measures  have  been  adopted;  but  in  about  half  the 
States  no  provisions  have  been  made  for  the  preservation  and  admin- 
istration of  the  archives.  A  great  variety  is  to  be  observed  among 
the  measures  already  taken  in  various  States:  We  have  departments 
of  archives  and  history,  divisions  of  archives  in  State  libraries.  State 
historical  commissions,  State  historical  societies  charged  with  some 

1  There  can,  of  course,  be  no  objection  to  the  deposit  of  such  collections  as  the  Con- 
tinental Congress  Papers  or  the  Washington,  Jefferson,  etc.,  papers  in  the  Library.  The 
latter  collections  properly  belong  there,  while  the  former  is  a  distinct  entity  and  can  as 
well  be  in  the  Library  as  in  an  archives  depot.  In  principle,  however,  only  exceptional 
circumstances  can  make  it  desirable  to  deposit  in  a  library  groups  of  documents  selected 
because  of  special  historical  interest  and  taken  out  bodily  from  regular  series  of  archives.

tioiLH  of  the  archives  do|K»l  to  the  other  dfpartmont>  of  the  govern-

lation,  both  Federal  and  State,  which  shall  provide  for  the  effective 
preservation  and  administration  of  all  the  public  records. 

Turning  to  the  second  class  of  problems,  those  relating  to  archive 
economy,  to  the  details  of  archive  administration,  we  must  assume 
for  the  moment  the  existence  of  adequate  legislation  on  the  subject. 
Let  us  assume,  what  is  actually  to  be  found  in  certain  States,  the  ex- 
istence of  all  the  legal  machinery  necessary  for  the  development  of 
an  efEcient  archive  administration.  What  are  the  problems  con- 
fronting the  archivist  or  other  official,  whatever  his  title,  at  the  head 
of  this  administration  ? 

First  of  all,  there  are  problems  of  entirely  material  nature.  It  is 
necessary  to  find  a  depository  for  the  archives;  if  a  special  building 
is  to  be  devoted  to  them  there  are  architectural  details  to  be  settled. 
The  two  great  desiderata  are  safety  and  convenience.  In  these  re- 
spects valuable  lessons  may  be  learned  from  European  experiences. 
Such  buildings  as  the  Public  Eecord  Office  in  London,  the  Archives 
Nationales  in  Paris,  the  Eoyal  Archives  at  The  Hague,  and  the  new 
building  at  Vienna  should  be  studied.  An  archives  depot  should  not 
be  designed  solely  by  architects ;  the  archivist  should  have  something 
to  say  about  it. 

The  problems  of  equipment  are  to  be  met,  whether  the  archives  are 
housed  in  a  separate  building  or  in  a  building,  such  as  the  State 
capitol  or  library,  which  is  mainly  devoted  to  other  purposes.  If  the 
building  is  absolutely  fireproof  it  is  probable  that  steel  shelving,  of 
the  type  now  generally  in  use,  should  be  avoided,  at  least  for  the 
storage  of  bound  volumes.  The  well-known  file  case  of  the  "  docu- 
ment "  size,  which  necessitates  the  folding  of  papers,  is  to  be  avoided 
at  all  cost,  although  it  can  not  be  denied  that  an  entire  wall  filled 
with  these  cases,  painted  a  soft  olive  green  with  gilt  trimmings  pre- 
sents a  most  neat  and  attractive  appearance.  There  must  also  be 
proper  equipment  for  cleaning  the  archives,  for  repairing  and  bind- 
ing, for  exhibiting  documents  of  especial  interest,  etc. 

Next  follow  the  problems  relating  to  the  collection,  classification, 
cataloguing,  and  communication  of  the  archives.  The  law  deter- 
mines, at  least  in  a  general  way,  the  principles  upon  which  the  records 
of  the  various  offices  shall  be  transferred  to  the  archives.  In  the 
execution  of  the  law,  however,  much  depends  upon  the  understanding 
reached  between  the  archivist  and  the  heads  of  other  departments. 
From  some  departments  the  records  may  be  transferred  at  more 
frequent  intervals  than  from  others.  In  general  it  may  be  considered 
desirable  that  records  should  pass  into  the  archives  as  soon  as  they 
are  no  longer  in  frequent  use  in  the  transaction  of  current  business. 

A  most  important  question  in  connection  with  the  collection  of 
materials  is  that  of  the  collection  of  other  than  public  archives  (such 
as  the  records  of  societies,  churches,  institutions,  business  organiza-

gators  in  the  archives.  They  may  be  in  the  form  of  volumes,  printed 
or  manuscript,  or  on  cards.  The  experience  of  those  who  work 
much  in  European  archives  is  that  the  cards  are  the  least  convenient, 
the  printed  volumes  the  most  convenient  form,  and  in  the  case  of 
historical  archives  they  are  never  superseded.  For  administrative 
purposes  different  catalogues  will  be  needed.  A  series  of  muster 
rolls  in  constant  use  for  pension  and  other  purposes  requires  a  differ- 
ent kind  of  catalogue  from  that  suitable  for  a  series  of  legislative 
committee  papers,  rarely,  if  ever,  called  for.  It  was  thus  that  the 
well-known  card-record  index  of  the  War  Department  was  created, 
in  order  to  answer  the  hundreds  of  daily  queries  from  the  Pension 
Bureau  respecting  the  military  and  hospital  records  of  applicants  f or 
pensions. 

The  relation  of  the  archivist  to  the  investigator  presents  various 
problems.  What  formalities  of  introduction,  etc.,  shall  be  required? 
If  the  investigator  is  a  foreigner,  shall  a  diplomatic  introduction  be 
required?  What  archives  shall  be  communicated  to  investigators? 
European  practice  in  this  respect  is  becoming  more  liberal.  The 
French  ministry  of  foreign  affairs  permits  the  use  of  its  archives  to 
February,  1848;  the  Archives  Rationales  communicate  documents 
that  are  50  years  old.  While  a  chronological  dead  line  is  convenient, 
especially  foi  the  archivist,  it  may  be  questioned  if  it  is  not  better 
to  decide  each  case  upon  its  own  merits.  It  is  clear  that,  certain 
kinds  of  material  can  safely  be  communicated  to  within  very  recent 
times.  Why,  then,  should  they  be  withheld  because  other  material 
can  not  be  so  communicated  ?  Other  questions  relate  to  the  restric- 
tions surrounding  the  investigators.  In  French  archives  only  a  cer- 
tain number  of  volumes  or  boxes  can  be  communicated  during  the 
course  of  a  single  day  to  the  same  person.  Access  to  the  shelves  is 
never  allowed  under  any  circumstances.  Applications  for  volumes 
must  be  filled  out  upon  certain  forms.  When  the  investigator  does 
not  present  himself  in  person,  to  what  extent  is  the  archivist  bound  to 
answer  his  queries?  Especially  to  what  extent  should  the  attempt 
be  made  to  answer  genealogical  queries?  Should  archives  ever  be 
loaned — not  to  individuals,  of  course,  but  to  other  archive  deposi- 
tories and  to  libraries  for  the  use  of  individuals  ?  In  discussing  the 
relations  between  archivists  and  investigators  it  must  be  borne  in 
mind,  on  the  one  hand,  that  to  supply  historical  sources  to  the  inves- 
tigator is  not  the  principal  function,  although  an  important  one,  of 
archive  depositories,  and  on  the  other  hand,  that  the  proper  and 
effective  administration  of  archives  is  a  means  and  not  an  end. 

A  host  of  other  problems  present  themselves  for  consideration, 
which  can  be  merely  mentioned  in  passing.  What,  for  example,  are 
the  best  methods  of  repairing  documents,  of  restoring  faded  ink,  of 
flattening  papers  that  have  been  folded,  of  reproducing  documents

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  BRITISH  ARCHIVES. 


By  Chakles  M.  Andrews/ 
Professor  in  Yale  University  {late  of  Johns  Hopkins  University) , 


In  considering  the  history  of  the  British  archives  we  may  derive 
comfort  from  the  fact  that  60  years  ago  the  public  records  of  Great 
Britain  lay  in  widely  scattered  confusion  in  a  score  of  repositories, 
none  of  them  adequate  and  none  of  them  safe.  In  the  face  of  great 
difficulties,  in  a  manner  often  blundering  and  unsystematic,  the  Mas- 
ters of  the  Rolls  and  their  efficient  deputies  and  assistants  have  gradu- 
ally drawn  together  this  scattered  material,  have  rescued  it  from 
seeming  destruction,  and  housed  it  in  quarters  that  are  now  the  pride 
of  the  English  world.  What  one  country  has  done  another  can  do ; 
and  though  our  records  in  America  are  often  cared  for  in  a-manner 
that  is  the  despair  of  the  historian  and  the  archivist,  and  though  the 
task  is  tenfold  more  difficult  owing  to  the  dual  character  of  the  rec- 
ords. Federal  and  state,  and  owing  to  the  absence  of  any  adequately 
developed  public  sentiment  in  favor  of  the  proper  treatment  of  public 
documents,  nevertheless  the  case  is  not  hopeless,  and  British  experi- 
ences strengthen  our  hope  that  in  time  plans  that  are  at  present  little 
more  than  dreams  may  eventually  be  carried  out.  The  difficulties 
of  concentration  here  are  greater  than  they  ever  were  in  England, 
where  even  at  their  worst  the  records  were  in  the  main  within  the 
confines  of  a  single  great  city. 

Experience  with  British  archives  teaches  another  lesson,  the  most 
important  that  it  is  necessary  to  learn, at  the  present  time — the  need 
of  preservation.  We  can  not  talk  of  concentration,  arranging,  cata- 
loguing, and  calendaring  until  the  material  with  which  we  are  to  work 
is  placed  beyond  the  danger  of  destruction.  Preservation  of  existing 
material  is  the  first  need  of  the  moment  and  everyone  interested  in 
archives,  those  of  you  who  are  here  present  and  those  who  are  absent,

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  GERMAN  ARCHIVES. 


By  Marion  Dexter  Learned,^ 
Professor  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvcmia. 


It  is  but  natural  that  the  great  variety  of  archives  in  Germany, 
ranging  all  the  way  from  the  State  archives,  municipal  archives,  and 
ecclesiastical  archives,  including  parish  and  church  collections,  to 
the  archives  of  private  corporations  and  individuals,  should  present 
a  great  difference  of  order  and  method  of  administration.  The 
State  archives  furnish  the  best  models  and  the  most  fruitful  sugges- 
tions for  us  as  Americans.  These  depositories  are  distributed  in 
Prussia  according  to  the  provincial  divisions  each  province  having 
one  such  depository.  In  Bavaria  the  State  archives  are  distributed 
by  the  circles  or  "  Kreise."  The  Prussian  State  archives  include  the 
central  depository — the  royal  privy  State  archives  in  Berlin — and  the 
17  provincial  archives:  Aurich,  Breslau,  Coblenz,  Danzig,  Diissel- 
dorf,  Hanover,  Konigsberg,  Magdeburg,  Marburg,  Miinster,  Osna- 
briick,  Posen,  Schleswig,  Sigmaringen,  Stettin,  Wetzlar,  and  Wies- 
baden. The  Bavarian  State  archives  include  the  central  depository — 
the  Imperial  archives — in  Munich,  and  the  eight  provincial  or  circle 
archives:  Amberg,  Bamberg,  Landshut,  Munich,  Neuburg,  Nurem- 
berg, Speier,  and  Wurzburg.  In  other  States  there  is  usually  a  cen- 
tral depository  located  in  the  capital,  such  as  the  royal  State  archives 
of  the  Kingdom  of  Saxony  at  Dresden,  the  royal  State  archives  of 
Wurttemberg  at  Stuttgart  and  Ludwigsburg,  the  Grand  Ducal 
archives  or  the  "  General-Landesarchiv "  of  Baden  at  Karlsruhe, 
the  Ducal  archives  of  Brunswick  at  Wolfenbuttel,  the  archives  of  the 
imperial  lands  Elsass-Lothringen  and  the  State  archives  of  the 
Hanse  cities  of  Hamburg,  Bremen,  and  Liibeck.  These  I  mention  as 
the  most  important  of  those  with  which  I  have  had  to  do.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  above  mentioned,  I  have  examined  also  the  municipal 
archives  of  Breslau,  Cologne,  Frankfort  on  the  Main,  Karlsruhe, 
and  Mannheim,  as  well  as  the  archives  of  the  Moravians  at 
Herrnhut  and  the  archives  of  the  Franckean  Institutions  in  Halle.

CONFERENCE   OF   ARCHIVISTS.  353' 

other  valuable  materials,  the  church  books,  carefully  preserved  in 
fireproof  apartments.  Naturally  many  private  collections  come  to 
these  well  organized  archives  in  the  course  of  time,  such,  for  example, 
as  the  invaluable  Eiedesel  Correspondence  in  the  Ducal  archives  at 
Wolfenbiittel. 

3.  Archive  huildings. — The  systematic  care  of  public  documents 
required  proper  housing  of  documents.  In  many  cases  old  buildings 
such  as  stone  castles  could  be  made  fairly  fireproof  by  the  use  of 
cement.  In  other  cases  the  Government  built  splendid  new  fireproof 
structures  and  furnished  them  with  the  newest  appliances,  as,  for  ex- 
ample, the  archives  buildings  in  Bremen,  Breslau,  Diisseldorf,  Mag- 
deburg, Miinster,  Stettin,  and  elsewhere. 

4.  Access  and  use  of  materials. — The  State  archives  are  closely  re- 
lated to  the  ministries  and  are  administered  in  accordance  with  diplo- 
matic traditions  and  ministerial  precision.  Permission  to  work  in 
these  depositories  is  necessary  and  may  be  obtained  by  forwarding 
application  with  proper  credentials  to  the  general  director  of  the 
Prussian  archives,  to  the  directorate  or  "  Yorstand  "  of  the  Bavarian 
State  archives,  or  to  the  corresponding  authorities  or  the  ministry  in 
question  of  the  several  German  States.  This  formality  once  observed, 
access  to  the  materials  can  be  had  very  promptly,  allowing,  of  course, 
the  necessary  time  for  finding  the  documents.  The  investigator  is 
expected  to  subscribe  or  assent  to  the  rules  of  the  archives,  this  assent 
being  sometimes  given  in  the  form  of  the  good  old  German  "  Hand- 
schlag." 

A  careful  account  of  the  documents  consulted  and  the  name  of 
the  investigator  and  date  and  purpose  of  consultation  is  kept  as  a 
permanent  record  of  each  of  the  archives.  Where  the  case  requires, 
an  archivist  is  detailed  to  make  a  brief  summary  of  the  documents 
which  the  investigator  is  to  consult,  thus  facilitating  the  search. 

5.  Relation  of  State  archives  to  municipal^  provincial^  and  other 
private  collections. — The  Prussian  Government  may  serve  as  an 
example  of  the  stimulating  cooperation  of  the  State  and  private 
archives  with  the  historical  societies  both  in  making  and  in  preserving 
collections  of  documents.  While  otherwise  encouraging  the  work  of 
these  societies  the  provinces  have  made  substantial  contributions  of 
money  to  their  respective  historical  societies,  and  the  director  general 
of  the  State  archives  has  aided  in  the  cataloguing  of  such  private 
collections. 

6.  Research.— ThQ  great  distinguishing  feature  of  the  State  ar- 
chives as  contrasted  with  American  archives  is  that  only  scientifically 
trained  men  are  put  in  responsible  positions,  men  who  are  able  to 
carry  on  independent  research.  In  all  the  State  archives  it  is  possi- 
ble to  find  men  who  not  only  read  the  documents  but  know  the  history

term  diplomatic  as  applie<l  to  texts. 

8.  Cataloffuhuf. — The  State  archiveK  as  a  nile  have  inventories  or 
**  RejM'rtorion  **  of  tin*  materials  dcfMisited.  Tln>e  iiixi'ntnrii**^  are 
not  usually  calendars  in  our  ^enN^•  biit  nither  catalopics  <»f  fascicles 
of  papers.  I  found  no  instances  of  calendars  in  the  strict  Hense  of 
the  word.  The  d(MMim<Mit>  ixxv  arranj^tl  usually  in  '*C< involute," 
'*  Fascikel,"  an<l  "  Hiinde,"  and  these*  in  turn  are  place<l  in  ca*«es  or

the  State  pa|M*rs  an*  usually  in  the  folio  si/^*  nuikes  their  arranp*ment 
in  the  caM*s  much  simpler  than  it  woidd  be  in  America,  where  docu- 
ments have  varying  si7.<>s  froiu  si'ra|)s  and  slifM  to  folios.  In  a  few 
cases  the  slip  (practically  cani)  system  is  employe<l  to  some  extent, 
but  usually  the  '*  He|M*rtorien  **  are  Ixiund  as  manus<*ript  voluroea. 
These  are  not  to  Ix*  i*onsult«'<l  without  sp«H'ial  |K*rmi*«Kion  of  the 
archivist.

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  ITALIAN  ARCHIVES. 


By  Carl  Russell  Fish,^ 
Professor  in  tJie  University  of  Wisconsi/n. 


Italians  were  the  first  seriously  to  consider  archive  problems,  and 
the  index  room  of  the  Archivio  Vaticano  affords  probably  the  best 
opportunity  in  the  world  for  the  study  of  archive  and  literary 
methods  to  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth  century.  Since  then  they 
have  been  far  outstripped,  and  many  of  the  lessons  to  be  derived  from 
Italy  are  those  of  avoidance.  Italy  has  the  same  problem  as  the 
United  States :  that  caused  by  decentralization.  The  evil  effects  of 
this  are  overcome,  in  part,  by  uniform  archive  legislation.  This  uni- 
formity is  in  part  superficial,  but  the  relief  found  wherever  it  extends, 
and  the  inconvenience  where  it  ceases,  argue  that  it  should  be  placed 
first  among  the  objects  of  those  interested  in  the  problem  in  this  coun- 
try. Particularly  it  is  important  that  there  be  a  uniform  date  for  the 
transfer  of  documents  from  the  various  departments  to  the  archive 
authorities.  For  certain  periods  the  opening  of  the  Vatican  archives 
has  been  almost  futile  owing  to  the  series  held  in  reserve  elsewhere. 
Nearly  all  studies  of  papal  history  lack  completeness  for  this  reason, 
while  the  uncertainty  as  to  whether  such  series  exist  or  not  is  a 
deterrent  to  investigation. 

In  the  internal  administration  of  the  archives  the  first  duty  is  that 
of  preservation.  I  was  allowed  to  use  documents  in  Italy  that  fell 
to  pieces  as  they  were  opened.  After  that  no  amount  of  money  or 
effort  devoted  to  making  them  easily  accessible  to  the  student  can  be 
considered  as  exorbitant.  Nothing  but  the  quiet  courage  of  those 
who  do  it  rescues  from  condemnation  the  spectacle  one  sees  at  the 
Vatican  of  one  explorer  after  another  tracing  out  the  same  path, 
which  should  long  ago  have  been  blazed  by  the  pioneer  corps.  At  the 
same  time  one  should  beware  of  the  wholesale  methods  of  library 
science.  The  entire  Vatican  force  once  spent  20  years  in  preparing 
a  general  index  to  their  whole  collection  as  it  then  stood,  and  their 
work  is  now  almost  useless.     I  never  worked  more  easily  than  in  the

archives  of  Italy,  to  be  published  by  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington.

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  DUTCH  ARCHIVES. 


By  William  I,  Hull, 

Professor  in  Swarth'more  College. 


The  United  States  may  learn  the  foHowing  lessons  from  the 
Netherlands  in  regard  to  the  collection  and  administration  of  its 
archives: 

1.  It  was  not  until  the  storm  and  stress  of  the  French  Eevolution 
and  Napoleonic  days  that  the  Netherlanders  thoroughly  appreciated 
the  importance  of  caring  for  their  archives.  When  the  Batavian 
Republic  took  the  place  of  the  old  Republic  of  the  United  Nether- 
lands in  1795,  and  when  the  annexation  to  France  occurred  in  1810, 
and  many  of  the  archives  were  carried,  by  Napoleon's  order,  to  Paris, 
the  Netherlanders  were  thoroughly  aroused  as  to  the  value  of  the 
records  substantiating  their  earlier  history  and  the  importance  of 
the  task  of  caring  for  them  in  an  adequate  manner. 

The  people  of  the  United  States  should  not  wait  for  revolution  or 
foreign  conquest  and  spoliation  to  be  aroused  to  the  importance  of 
the  same  task. 

2.  The  archival  activities  in  the  Netherlands  are  eagerly  and 
vigorously  participated  in  by  the  nation,  the  provinces,  the  towns, 
and  various  local  organizations,  such  as  the  churches  and  historical 
societies.  As  early  as  1802  a  national  archivist  was  appointed,  and 
in  1875  a  separate  bureau  was  organized  under  the  ministry  of  the 
interior,  entitled  the  bureau  of  arts  and  sciences  (Afdeeling  van 
Kunsten  en  Wetenschappen),  whose  energetic  administration  of  the 
national  archives  has  been  felt  throughout  every  nook  and  corner  of 
the  land.  Some  of  the  provincial  governments  have  even  appro- 
priated money  and  drawn  up  regulations  for  the  collection  and 
cataloguing  of  manuscripts  relating  to  the  history  of  villages, 
polders,  and  peatlands— for  example,  in  North  Brabant  and  Utrecht. 

There  should  be  in  the  United  States  a  thoroughgoing  and  all-

CONFERENCE    OF   ARCHIVISTS.  359 

5.  One  of  the  features  of  the  Dutch  administration  of  archives 
which  is  especially  striking  to  the  American  student,  and  which  is 
typical  of  the  great  care  bestowed  upon  the  archives,  is  the  fact  that 
buildings  especially  constructed  and  equipped  for  the  purpose  have 
been  devoted  in  all  of  the  large  towns  to  the  exclusive  preservation  of 
their  archives.  Twenty  of  these  towns  have  not  only  their  separate 
archive  buildings,  but  their  own  town  archivists  as  well,  appointed  to 
the  sole  duty  of  administering  the  town  archives.  The  care  with 
which  the  documents  are  mounted  and  catalogued  is  another  striking 
feature  of  the  archival  administration  in  state,  province,  and  town. 

The  United  States  with  its  various  governmental .  subdivisions 
should  not  be  content  until  its  priceless  archives  are  properly  housed 
in  buildings  especially  adapted  to  their  preservation  and  made  acces- 
sible by  classification,  cataloguing,  and  supervision  by  trained 
experts. 

6.  The  Netherlands  officials  to  whose  care  the  archives  are  intrusted, 
are,  for  the  most  part,  university  graduates,  admitted  t^  the  degree  of 
doctor  of  lav/  or  doctor  of  letters,  who  have  availed  themselves,  in 
addition  to  their  university  training,  of  some  months  of  special  train- 
ing at  the  hands  of  some  experienced  archivist. 

With  the  increased  attention  in  the  United  States  to  a  training  for 
the  civil  service,  the  very  special  training  requisite  for  archivists  who 
must  deal  with  materials  in  almost  every  foreign  language  should 
be  speedily  and  fully  supplied. 

7.  In  the  collection  of  the  archive  material  scattered  throughout 
the  nation  it  is  noteworthy  that  the  Netherlands  have  instituted  a 
most  enterprising  and  successful  historical  manuscripts  commission 
whose  distinguished  representative,  Dr.  Colenbrander,  is  very  ac- 
ceptably with  us  at  this  annual  meeting.  It  has  also  sent  at  Govern- 
ment expense  to  foreign  countries  its  best  equipped  historical  inves- 
tigators for  the  purpose  of  collecting  manuscript  materials  relating 
to  the  history  of  the  Fatherland  in  the  archives  of  foreign  lands.  I 
may  mention  here  the  missions  of  Prof.  Blok  to  Germany,  Austria, 
France,  England,  and  Italy ;  of  Prof.  Uhlenbeck  to  Russia ;  of  Prof. 
Brugmans  to  England ;  of  Prof.  Bussemaker  to  Spain ;  and  of  Prof. 
Kernkamp  to  Sweden,  Norway,  and  Denmark.  By  these  means,  and 
by  exchange,  purchase,  and  copying,  the  archives  have  been  in  recent 
years  very  greatly  and  valuably  increased  by  the  so-called 
"Aanwinsten." 

Although  the  United  States — thanks  chiefly  to  the  public  archive 
commission  of  the  American  Historical  Association,  to  the  depart- 
ment of  historical  research  of  the  Carnegie  Institution,  and  to  the 
scholarly  initiative  of  our  own  ex-president,  Dr.  Jameson— has  made* 
a  good  beginning  on  several  of  these  paths,  very  much  more  needs  to 
be  done ;  and  especially  should  copies  or  photographs  of  manuscripts

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  SPANISH  ARCHIVES. 


By  William  K.  Shepherd/ 
Professor  in  ColumMa  University. 


Exclusive,  perhaps,  of  the  British  archives,  there  is  no  coHection  of 
public  documents  in  aU  Europe  so  indispensable  to  the  historian  of 
the  United  States  as  the  archives  of  Spain.  Eanging  over  Florida, 
the  Louisiana  region,  Texas,  New  Mexico,  Arizona,  and  California, 
they  include  the  relations  of  this  country  with  Spain  and  her  Ameri- 
can provinces,  both  in  colonial  times  and  since  the  era  of  national 
independence.  While  no  exact  statement  is  possible  as  yet,  it  is  safe 
to  estimate  the  number  of  documents  bearing  upon  the  history  of  the 
United  States  between  1512  and  1857,  the  date  up  to  which  they  are 
accessible  to  students,  at  upwards  of  800,000. 

Although  much  that  is  valuable  may  be  found  elsewhere  in  Spain, 
the  chief  depositories  of  papers  of  this  sort  are  the  " Archivo  General " 
at  Simancas,  the  "Archivo  Historico-Nacional "  at  Madrid,  and  the 
"Archivo  General  de  Indias"  at  Seville.  That  their  materials,  in- 
stead of  being  concentrated  in  some  large  center,  as  is  the  case  in 
Paris  and  London,  have  to  be  sought  for  in  three  distinct  localities, 
many  miles  apart,  is  a  circumstance  due  to  the  vicissitudes  of  Spanish 
history.  Such  vicissitudes,  accompanied  by  considerable  poverty  and 
a  spirit  of  indifference  arising  out  of  misfortune,  explain  also  why 
the  buildings  that  house  the  several  sets  of  archives  are  usually  of 
ancient  origin  and  ill  adapted  for  the  purposes  to  which  they  are  put. 

With  an  attitude  of  mind  common  to  public  authorities  in  other 
parts  of  the  world,  the  Spanish  Government  shows  itself  to  be  more 
intent  upon  the  preservation  of  records  having  an  administrative 
value  at  the  present  time  than  of  those  possessing  an  interest  merely 
to  the  historical  student.  The  records  are  divided  into  two  main 
groups,  namely,  reserved  and  public.  In  the  former  are  placed 
papers  relating  to  the  private  affairs  of  the  royal  family — since  1834 
in  particular,  to  certain  fortifications  in  Spain,  and  to  all  matters 
less  than  60  years  old.     Being  regarded  as  strictly  official  in  their

COITFEEENCE   OF   ARCHIVISTS.  363 

the  director  (jefe)  of  the  establishment  concerned.  The  superabun- 
dance of  saints'  days,  royal  birthdays,  and  other  festive  events,  all  of 
which  entail  the  closing  of  the  archives,  is  a  further  trial  to  the 
patience  of  the  investigator,  regardless  of  the  earnestness  with  which 
he  may  have  striven  to  realize  the  import  of  so  favorite  a  word  in 
Spain  as  "manana"  (to-morrow).  Personal  research,  therefore,  is 
indispensable.  Even  the  copyists  who  may  be  employed  at  a  very 
reasonable  rate  need  looking  after.  The  student  who  stays  at  home 
and  contents  himself  with  ordering  transcripts  to  be  made  will  prob- 
ably find  in  the  consignment  whenever  it  arrives  much  that  is  alto- 
gether irrelevant  to  what  he  asked  for. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  difficulties  that  impede  the  progress  of 
successful  research  in  the  Spanish  archives  are  not  in  reality  so 
formidable  as  they  may  seem.  To  a  very  considerable  degree  they 
are  offset  by  certain  advantages  less  freely  offered  by  the  archives 
in  other  European  countries.  For  example,  the  terms  of  admission 
to  the  collections  in  Simancas,  Madrid,  and  Seville  are  practically 
the  same  as  those  to  any  well-regulated  public  library  in  the  world. 
Letters  of  introduction  are  unnecessary,  the  student  merely  having 
to  satisfy  the  director  of  each  center  that  he  is  trustworthy  in  every 
respect  and  that  the  work  to  be  undertaken  is  an  important  one. 
This  duty  complied  with,  little,  if  any,  red  tape  is  drawn  over  the 
pathway  of  investigation.  Invariably  courteous  in  their  bearing,  the 
officials  are  disposed  to  be  helpful  to  the  utmost  extent  that  their 
knowledge  and  their  opportunities  may  allow.  Providing  only  that 
care  be  taken  not  to  mix  the  respective  contents,  several  bundles  of 
papers  may  be  examined  at  a  time.  Delays  in  bringing  the  material 
sought  are  rarely  encountered.  Nor  do  the  bundles  have  to  be  re- 
placed in  the  shelves  the  same  day  that  they  are  used.  But  the 
greatest  boon  of  all  to  the  worker  in  the  Spanish  archives  is  the 
total  absence  of  censorship.  Either  a  manuscript  is  supplied  along 
with  an  absolute  right  of  copying  or  of  photographing  its  contents, 
or  it  is  simply  withheld  from  the  outset.  Never  is  the  vexatious 
experience  undergone  of  having  some  choice  passage  blue-penciled 
and  the  labor  of  the  copyist  expended  in  vain  because  of  some  petty 
regulation  devoid  of  sense  or  reason.  As  a  just  return  for  this 
liberality,  however,  the  investigator  must  promise  to  send  a  copy  of 
an}^  work  that  he  may  write  as  a  consequence  of  his  researches  in  any 
particular  center,  and  must  deposit  also  a  copy  of  any  photograph  of 
a  document  which  he  may  have  had  made. 

Whatever  the  good  intentions  of  the  Spanish  archivists,  the  preced- 
ing sketch  has  shown  that  they  are  beset  by  conditions  that  prevent 
them  from  managing  satisfactorily  the  huge  collections  placed  in 
their  charge.  They  simply  can  not  take  all  the  precautions  needful 
to  insure  the  preservation  alone  of  the  papers,  to  say  nothing  of  in-

THE  LESSONS  OF  THE  SWEDISH  ARCHIVES. 


By  Amandus  Johnson,  Ph.  D., 
of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 


Already  in  the  reign  of  John  III  (1568-1592)  attention  was 
given  to  the  preservation  and  classification  of  the  public  records  and 
"  national  historians  "  were  employed  to  "  preserve  the  memory  of 
great  events."  In  the  beginning  of  the  seventeenth  century  a  more 
systematic  organization  was  effected  through  the  efforts  of  Gustavus 
Adolphus  and  (especially)  Axel  Oxenstierna.  On  October  26  (n.  s.), 
1618,  an  ordinance  was  issued  for  "  the  archives  of  the  Kingdom  " 
and  a  secretary  was  appointed  to  have  charge  of  the  same.  Other 
ordinances  Avere  made  in  1626  and  1661.  The  secretary,  being  the 
most  important  officer,  finally  became  the  royal  archivist.  Under  his 
guidance  the  public  documents  were  collected  and  preserved  in  the 
Eiksarkiv  or  public  record  office.  The  records  of  the  College  of  the 
Admiralty,  bf  the  College  of  War,  and  of  the  College  of  the  Ex- 
chequer were  likewise  preserved  at  the  capital  and  soon  attained  large 
proportions,  but  without  special  organization  or  classification.  Va- 
rious local  collections,  sometimes  of  value  for  historical  research, 
also  became  important  as  time  went  on,  but  there  was  no  connection 
between  these  and  the  royal  archives  and  it  was  often  difficult  for 
the  investigator  to  gain  access  to  them,  while  in  many  cases  the  docu- 
ments were  badly  preserved. 

A  few  years  ago  the  archive  system  of  Sweden  was  reorganized  and 
"  district  archives  "  (Landsarkiv  or  country  archives)  were  founded 
where  the  local  church  records  and  other  public  documents  in  certain 
districts  should  be  deposited.^  In  1901,  and  again  in  1906,  royal 
ordinances  were  published,  prescribing  the  management  and  organi- 
zation of  the  archives  and  the  duties  of  the  officers.  The  documents  in 
the  royal  archives  are  to  be  preserved  for  the  public  and  the  Govern- 
ment and  historical  documents  of  value  are  to  be  published.  The 
royal  archivist  is  to  be  at  the  head  of  the  archives  in  the  Kingdom 
and  he  is  to  inspect  the  district  archives  and  similar  depositories  of 

iThus  there  is  a  Landsarkiv  at  Upsala,  another  at  Vadstena,  etc.  The  plan  was  due 
to  Prof.  Odhner.

CONFERENCE    OF   ARCHIVISTS.  367 

(communications  and  reports)^  and  catalogues  of  manuscripts^  are 
published  by  the  archives  from  time  to  time. 

The  archives  are  organized  with  the  view  of  serving  investigators 
and  giving  easy  access  to  the  material.  The  officers  are  trained  archi- 
vists and  specialists  in  their  various  departments,  insuring  the  high- 
est possible  efficiency  and  service,  and  they  are  ever  courteous  and 
ever  ready  to  give  assistance.  Several  copyists  are  employed  by  the 
archives  and  through  these  (and  also  private  parties)  collated  copies 
of  documents  can  be  obtained  at  a  certain  price.  The  official  photog- 
raphers are  the  "  Generalstabens  Litografiska  Anstalt "  and  photo- 
graphs can  be  obtained  through  them  of  any  documents.  •  Eecords 
are  loaned  to  libraries  and  other  archives  all  over  the  Kingdom.  If- 
an  investigator  finds  it  more  convenient  to  work  in  the  Eoyal  Library 
or  any  other  library,  he  can  get  the  particular  documents  he  needs 
for  his  investigation  brought  to  his  desk  without  charge  from  the 
Royal  Archives  or  from  any  library  or  archives  in  the  country  by 
applying  to  the  officer  at  the  head  of  the  manuscript  department  in 
the  institution  in  which  he  works.  In  this  manner  documents  are 
even  sent  to  foreign  countries.  The  convenience  of  this  system  is 
evident.^ 

The  aid  and  convenience  of  the  student  using  the  archives  in  per- 
son are  also  matters  of  much  concern.  In  the  research  room  are  to  be 
found  old  and  new  dictionaries  of  all  languages  that  are  met  with 
in  the  documents,  as  well  as  encyclopedias  and  geographical  and 
biographical  lexicons,  that  are  of  aid  in  deciphering  names  of  places 
and  persons  and  in  reading  difficult  passages;  there  are  also  standard 
histories  and  other  works,  as  well  as  printed  documents  from  the 
collections.*  Guards  or  indices  of  private  and  local  collections  are 
also  found  in  the  research  room  and  a  catalogue  of  the  books  pre- 
served in  the  archive  library. 

Access  to  the  archives  of  the  Kingdom  can  be  had  by  presenting  a 
recommendation  or  merely  by  presenting  a  card.  The  one  notable 
exception  is  the  Archives  of  the  Fleet,  to  which  access  can  be  gained 
by  foreigners  only  through  an  application  to  the  representative  of 

1  Meddelanden  f rSn  Svenska  Riksarkivet.     Several  yolumes  have  appeared. 

2  Before  1902  the  catalogues  were  published  in  the  same  scries  as  the  reports.  Since 
then  the  "  annual  reports  and  smaller  archivistic  essays "  are  published  in  Ny  foljd, 
(new  series),  I:  1;  I:  2,  etc.,  and  the  catalogues  of  manuscripts,  etc.,  in  Ny  foljd,  II: 
1 ;  II :  2,  etc. 

2  Some  inconvenience  may  also  arise  from  the  system.  In  the  spring  of  1909,  when 
the  writer  was  completing  his  investigations  in  Sweden  on  the  History  of  New  Sweden, 
he  desired  to  reexamine  certain  Usselinx  letters,  but  the  letters  were  at  Utrecht  to  be 
copied. 

*  It  is  unnecessary  to  point  out  what  a  great  aid  these  printed  documents  are  to  the 
student,  who  for  the  first  time  is  to  read  the  originals  of  an  early  period,  in  finding  the 
key  to  the  handwriting  in  question.  By  comparing  the  originals  with  the  printed  copy 
side  by  side  the  student  will  soon  be  able  to  read  the  manuscripts  without  difficulty. 
Palaeographical  works  have  also  been  published  in  Sweden.  M.  Weibull,  Ilandskriftprof,

TRAGEDIES  IN  NEW  YORK'S  PUBLIC  RECORDS. 


By  Victor  Hugo  Paltsits,  State  Historian  of  New  York. 


We  do  not  design  to  give  in  this  paper  a  complete  list  of  the 
dramatis  personse  in  the  tragedy  of  New  York's  public  records;  Ror 
can  we  trace  every  assassination  of  these  records  to  its  source.  Any- 
thing like  elaboration  would  need  volumes  for  a  history  of  the  losses 
and  neglect  of  the  records  of  this  State  and  its  local  jurisdictions,  and 
such  an  account  is,  manifestly,  impossible  under  the  circumstances. 

Nor  is  it  necessary  or  pertinent  to  emphasize  to  this  audience — so 
well  informed  as  to  what  is  being  done  in  European  countries  and 
some  of  our  States — the  need  of  legislation  in  every  enlightened  com- 
monwealth for  safeguarding,  coordinating,  and  publishing  the  his- 
torical, economical,  sociological,  and  legal  sources  under  State  super- 
vision. We  have  time  merely  to  trip  lightly  over  this  vast  subject — 
to  point  out  instances  as  examples  and  to  characterize  conditions 
that  too  generally  prevail,  to  the  great  regret  of  scholars  and  the 
great  shame  of  the  State. 

In  the  treatment  of  archives  there  is  a  triune  function — preserva- 
tion, coordination,  and  publication.  In  other  words,  first  preserve 
the  records  against  theft,  fire,  damp,  or  wanton  destruction;  second, 
when  preserved  properly  in  each  department  of  every  city,  town, 
village,  and  hamlet,  and  in  the  State  by  the  State  departments,  the 
next  step  is  coordination  or  a  proper  scientific  classification,  together 
with  indexes  as  media  for  ready  accessibility ;  the  third  stage  follows 
naturally,  because  when  they  are  properly  preserved  and  classified, 
the  publication  is  easy  for  an  expert.  This  consummation  so  de- 
voutly to  be  wished  does  not  prevail  in  the  State  of  New  York;  in 
fact,  we  lag  far  behind  the  activities  in  the  principal  European  Gov- 
ernments and  the  conditions  in  quite  a  number  of  the  United  States. 
Yet,  New  York  is  called  the  "  Empire  State,"  and  our  State  arms 
bear  the  motto  "  Excelsior."  But  there  is  an  awakening  among  the 
students  of  history  in  this  State,  growing  out  of  a  world-wide  move- 
ment, which  will  bear  fruitage  and  make  for  the  proper  administra- 
tion of  public  archives  throughout  the  State  and  under  the  official 
direction  of  the  State.

lands  to  the  value  of  many  millions  of  dollars.  Of  this  description  were  the 
books  of  grants  or  patents,  of  deeds  and  of  mortgages,  the  field  books  and 
maps.  Many  of  these  books  were  rapidly  decaying,  the  binding  mutilated  and 
worn,  the  leaves  loose,  and  some  of  the  Indices  imperfect  and  incomplete.  Most 
of  the  field  books  were  in  pamphlet  form,  without  binding,  and  exposed  from 
that  circumstance  alone  to  injury  or  loss.  The  maps  had  suffered  much  by  lapse 
of  time;  and  by  frequent  reference  and  use  many  of  them  were  torn,  and 
almost  all  of  them  required  to  be  cleansed,  repaired,  and  mounted.     * 

He  continues: 

As  the  value  and  importance  of  the  records  in  this  department  forbade  the 
idea  of  any  removal,  which  might  expose  them  to  fraud,  piracy,  or  accident,  it 
became  necessary  that  the  bookbinders  and  workmen  employed  should  conduct 
their  labors  in  the  record-room  in  this  office,  under  the  immediate  personal 
inspection  of  the  Secretary  and  of  his  deputy,  and  under  an  oath  well  and 
faithfully  to  discharge  the  trust  reposed  in  them. 

Accordingly,  skillful  bookbinders  were  engaged.  Some  of  the  books 
were  bound,  others  rebound,  others  again  merely  repaired  and  let- 
tered, and  several  were  permitted  to  remain  in  the  state  in  which 
they  were  originally  found.  The  field  books  were  reduced,  in  binding, 
to  a  comparatively  small  number;  the  maps  were  cleansed,  repaired, 
numbered,  and  mounted,  and  put  into  portfolios.  The  books  of 
patents,  deeds,  and  mortgages,  and  the  field  books  were  bound  sub- 
stantially; indexes  were  examined  and  corrected;  engrossed  colonial 
and  State  laws,  formerly  in  packets,  were  bound  up  in  volumes; 
general  alphabetical  indexes  were  made  to  all  the  patents,  deeds, 
field  books,  and  maps  in  the  office,  and  new  boxes  and  cabinets  were 
provided.  Mr.  Yates's  report  was  accompanied  by  a  short-title  cata- 
logue or  inventory  of  all  of  the  records  under  his  jurisdiction,  and  he 
also  supplied  an  appendix  in  which  he  gave  information  about  lost 
records,  and  of  his  endeavors  to  trace  some  of  them  in  Massachusetts 
and  Connecticut.  He  said :  "  Several  important  and  much-to-be  re- 
gretted piracies  have  been  committed,  and  probably  at  a  very  early 
period,  on  the  records  in  this  office."  He  found  gaps  in  the  series  of 
grants  and  patents  under  the  Dutch  government,  in  the  proceedings 
of  the  director  general  and  council  during  the  Dutch  regime  and  in 
their  letter  books,  etc.  He  found  a  description  of  patents,  orders,  etc., 
that  Sir  Edmund  Andros  had  "  taken  away  for  very  improper  and 
reprehensible  purposes."  Some  of  them  found  their  way  back  to 
New  York,  but  others,  as  he  believed,  were  destroyed  by  the  direction 
of  Andros. 

On  March  18,  1741,  a  fire  occurred  "  in  the  roof  of  His  Majesty's 
house  at  Fort  George,  near  the  chapel,  consuming  the  house,  the 
chapel,  and  some  other  buildings  adjacent.  Most  of  the  public 
records  in  the  secretary's  office  were  fortunately  rescued  from  the 
flames."  It  is  evident  that  some  were  lost;  but  no  account  of  the  ex- 
tent of  the  disaster  has  been  noted.

CONFEKENCE   OF   ARCHIVISTS.  373 

to  the  custody  of  the  Hew  York  State  Library,  and  this  act  was 
amended  by  chapter  274  of  the  laws  of  1907,  by  which  more  manu- 
script materials  were  transferred  to  the  same  jurisdiction.  It  fol- 
lows, however,  that  sets  of  records  are  yet  separated,  and  the  same  is 
true  of  records  that  are  intimately  related.  The  idea  of  centraliza- 
tion is  embryonic  only.  It  is  questionable  whether  this  wholesale 
transfer  of  records  to  the  State  library  has  been  a  godsend.  For 
years  they  have  been  crowded  into  one  of  the  most  inadequate  rooms 
of  the  capitol,  with  only  one  crescent  window  swinging  on  a  pivot  as 
the  sole  avenue  of  natural  light  and  air,  and  subject  to  heat  and 
stuffiness.  All  the  while  these  priceless  records  have  been  in  this 
tomb  the  printed  books  and  pamphlets  of  the  library  have  been 
nursed  by  a  decimal  classification  and  all  the  other  paraphernalia  of 
modern  library  economy,  and  printed  genealogies  dwell  in  the  sump- 
tuous surroundings  of  a  $28,000,000  capitol.  It  is  true,  of  course, 
that  these  State  records  will  be  removed  in  a  couple  of  years  to  the 
new  State  education  building,  and  there  is  promise  that  more  ade- 
quate quarters  will  be  given  to  them  there  than  had  been  originally 
allotted  to  them  in  the  plans,  due,  as  I  have  reason  to  believe,  to  my 
campaign  on  behalf  of  the  public  records. 

The  lost  records  give  rise  to  serious  reflections  in  us.  There  are 
cases  in  which  we  must  depend  wholly  upon  some  printed  or  contem- 
porary or  later  transcript,  the  accuracy  of  which  can  no  longer  be 
ascertained  with  certainty,  because  the  original  is  either  lost,  mu- 
tilated, or  decayed  from  neglect.  Too  often  the  key  of  truth  has 
perished,  leaving  us  only  the  uncertain  premises  that  are  afforded  by 
incompleteness. 

In  1901  the  public  archives  commission  of  the  American  Historical 
Association  published  its  first  report,  and  the  bulk  of  it  was  a 
"  Eeport  on  the  Archives  and  Public  Records  of  the  State  of  New 
York  and  of  New  York  City,"  by  Dr.  Herbert  L.  Osgood.  A  pioneer 
effort  under  private  auspices,  it  has  been  awarded  the  highest  praise, 
and  it  has  served  many  a  forlorn  student  as  a  guide.  Admittedly, 
it  is  far  from  complete  for  the  State.  It  says  to  the  State  and  the 
divisions  thereof:  "Here  is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it."  This  report 
showed  that  records  were  found  in  frame  buildings  used  for  business 
purposes,  such  as  feed  stores,  glove  factories,  barber  shops,  and  fur- 
niture stores,  and  that  papers  were  kept  in  cellars  and  mildewed, 
in  wooden  cases,  in  wooden  desks,  loose  in  packing  boxes,  in  lofts  and 
garrets,  and  in  sheds  with  household  rubbish.  The  report  declares 
that  in  two  towns  of  Onondaga  County  the  masses  of  stored  manu- 
scripts were  deliberately  burned,  because  they  were  considered  a  use- 
less burden.  Yet  the  records  are  the  property  of  the  people,  and  as 
such  are  legally  and  theoretically  accessible  to  all.     Section  941  of

attention  had  been  directed  several  years  before,  during  a  visit  to 
the  city  hall  of  New  York.  I  at  once  suggested  that  the  item  should 
be  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Hon.  Seth  Low,  then  mayor,  which 
was  actually  done.  Mayor  Low  turned  the  case  over  to  his  corpora- 
tion counsel,  Mr.  George  L.  Rives,  who  made  the  usual  inquiries 
prior  to  an  execution  for  a  replevin.  The  bookseller,  in  his  next 
catalogue,  doubled  the  asking  price  to  $1,000',  and  added  these  words 
to  his  note : 

These  were  a  part  of  the  archives  of  the  city  of  New  Yorls  till  some  one  with 
ample  authority  sold  them  to  a  jimk  dealer  for  old  paper,  and  I  happening  to 
find  them  in  his  possession  in  process  of  being  packed  for  the  paper  mill,  they 
were  thus  rescued  from  oblivion.  Some  interested  person  called  the  city  officials' 
attention  to  the  fact  that  this  "  rubbish  "  had  value  above  old  paper  price,  and 
the  "  junker "  was  asked  by  the  city  representatives  who  interviewed  him 
why  he  "did  not  know  enough  to  send  them  to  the  paper  mills  and  have  done 
with  them?"  With  too  little  sense  to  buy  them  back  and  place  them  where 
they  belong  and  thus  cover  their  ignorance,  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  place 
me  in  a  false  position,  because  I  had  sufficient  intelligence  at  command  to  be 
able  to  discern  gold  from  Dutch  metal.  I  can  give  a  clear  title  to  these  records, 
and  now  offer  them  for  sale  at  just  twice  the  price  they  were  originally  adver-

In  February,  1909,  a  volume  of  the  court  records  of  Dutchess 
County,  from  May  18,  1T53,  to  May  1,  1757,  comprising  206  folio 
pages,  was  sold  by  a  New  York  auctioneer.  I  had  brought  the  item 
to  the  attention  of  persons  in  the  county  before  the  sale  took  place, 
but  the  person  who  represented  these  interests  at  the  sale  was  given 
a  limited  bid,  and  the  volume  was  secured  by  a  bookseller.  All 
reasonable  efforts  by  way  of  persuasion  having  failed  to  secure  the 
restoration  of  this  volume  by  the  bookseller,  the  grand  jury  has 
recently  been  requested  to  make  a  formal  demand  for  its  return. 

In  January,  1909,  the  New  York  State  Library  purchased  the 
original  minutes  of  the  town  of  Esperance,  Schoharie  County,  from 
the  erection  of  the  town  in  1846  to  November  10,  1881.  This 
volume  had  been  secured  by  a  gentleman  who  makes  a  business 
of  going  around  the  State  to  pick  up  old  books  and  manuscripts. 
It  was  one  of  several  rescued  by  him  just  as  they  were  to  be  fed 
to  a  bonfire. 

The  records  of  the  town  of  Ticonderoga,  as  a  local  correspondent 
informed  me,  were  burned  about  1874. 

The  town  records  of  Norwich,  Chenango  County,  prior  to  1803, 
are  missing.  The  village  records  of  Norwich,  from  its  incorpora- 
tion in  1816  to  1843,  are  lost ;  the  village  and  town  records  of  Oxford, 
Chenango  County,  prior  to  1842,  are  lost  or  destroyed,  and  this  town 
was  formed  in  1793. 

A  lawyer  at  Rye  has  just  written  that  volume  A  of  the  records  of 
the  town  of  Rye,  Westchester  County,  which  was  in  the  town  clerk's

Library  Building  for  sorting  and  elimination.  They  were  about  as 
filthy  a  jumble  as  the  eye  ever  rested  on;  yet,  they  represent  the  most 
valuable  materials  of  the  city's  administration  for  about  half  a  cen- 
tury. Among  this  miscellaneous  jumble  was  easily  found,  after 
classification,  what  is,  perhaps,  the  most  important  document  attest- 
ing the  city's  rights  in  the  so-called  "  Eleventh  Avenue  Tracks " 
case — a  matter  that  has  been  agitating  the  people  and  the  legislature 
for  years.  The  original  records  of  the  town  of  Harlem  were  secured 
by  a  title  company  of  New  York  City  and  transferred  to  a  second 
party  so  as  to  avoid  inquirers.  Few  local  records  in  the  State  would 
have  as  great  value  to  litigants  and  as  great  interest  to  historians  as 
these ;  yet,  they  are  held  in  private  ownership  and  are  inaccessible  for 
public  or  scholarly  uses.  Quite  too  many  of  our  official  records  and 
historical  sources  are  buried  away  by  the  title  companies  of  the  State. 
Again,  recently  the  county  clerk  of  Niagara  County  refused  or 
neglected  to  turn  over  to  his  successor  mortgage-tax  records,  and  it 
was  only  after  the  State  board  of  tax  commissioners  threatened  him 
with  mandamus  proceedings  that  he  finally  gave  them  up.  Our 
informant,  who  has  also  pointed  out  the  meagerness  of  the  town 
records  of  Hurley,  New  Paltz,  and  other  places  in  Ulster  County, 
wrote : 

I  have  often  noticed  the  carelessness  existing  in  country  towns  about  l?:eeping 
records.  Few  town  clerks  are  provided  with  safes  in  which  to  preserve  town 
records.  Instead  of  a  town  hall  the  town  officers  are  allowed  to  keep  town 
records  in  their  own  private  houses,  and  very  often  when  they  go  out  of  office 
they  neglect  o^  refuse  to  turn  over  these  records  to  their  successors.  I  have 
known  of  instances  [he  says]  where  newly  elected  officers  have  had  to  make 
repeated  demands  upon  their  predecessors  in  office  to  obtain  town  records.  If 
you  can  create  a  sentiment  among  the  people  that  will  properly  safeguard  local 
records,  rich  in  historical  association,  you  will  do  something  the  whole  State 
will  some  day  thank  you  most  heartily  for. 

Now,  I  am  happy  to  report  to  this  conference  of  archivists  that  the 
promotion  of  this  line  of  work  has  been  uppermost  in  my  mind  from 
the  day  that  I  entered  upon  the  office  of  State  historian  of  New  York. 
I  immediatel}^^  began  to  draft  a  bill  for  amending  the  law  relating 
to  the  powers  and  duties  of  the  State  historian,  and  this  bill  added 
provisions  with  reference  to  the  public  records  throughout  the  State. 
The  history  of  the  inception,  progress,  and  failure  of  this  legislation 
has  been  written  and  will  be  printed  in  the  next  volume  of  Proceed- 
ings of  the  New  York  State  Historical  Association.^  This  bill  was 
antagonized  by  the  commissioner  of  education,  who  demanded  a 
hearing,  which  was  granted.  The  bill  was  amended  and  passed  the 
assembly  with  only  one  dissenting  vote.     In  addition  to  the  provi- 

1  Tills  address  on  "  The  Executive  Relation  of  New  York  State  to  Historical  Scholar- 
ship "  has  since  been  printed  in  Proceedings  of  New  York  State  Historical  Association, 
vol.  IX,   (1910),  pp.  199  fe.

History  of  the  Archives. 

The  archives  of  the  State  of  Illinois  have  undergone  in  the  course 
of  their  history  those  usual  vicissitudes  that  have  been  reported 
from  other  States.  Eemovals,  fires,  and  official  carelessness  are 
responsible  for  the  loss  of  most  valuable  historical  material  and  have 
made  such  serious  gaps  in  important  series  that  the  soul  of  the 
investigating  historian  is  torn  by  conflicting  emotions — joy  that 
anything  has  been  preserved,  and  sorrow  that  so  much  has  been  lost. 
The  first  duty  of  the  reporter  of  the  archives  is,  therefore,  assigned 
him,  for  to  understand  the  present  conditions  it  is  necessary  to  start 
at  the  beginning  and  follow  step  by  step  the  progress  of  the  accumu- 
lating documents,  not  forgetting  to  notice  serious  mishaps  and  re- 
tarding influences. 

In  another  volume  ^  the  history  of  the  Illinois  archives  during 
the  eighteenth  century,  a  period  of  French  officials,  has  been  traced 
to  the  year  1790,  when  the  Government  of  the  United  States  was 
actually  extended  over  the  French  villages.  Our  narrative  in  this 
report  will  begin  with  the  date  June  12  of  that  year,  when  the  clerk 
of  the  Kaskaskia  court,  Francois  Carbonneaux,  delivered  into  the 
keeping  of  the  recorder,  William  St.  Clair,  the  documents  in  his 
charge — an  American  replaced  a  Frenchman,  a  symbol  of  the  passing 
of  the  old  in  Illinois  and  the  beginning  of  the  new. 

Gov.  Arthur  St.  Clair  had  erected  the  county  of  St.  Clair  for  the 
purpose  of  governing  the  French  settlements  on  the  Mississippi; 
but,  since  the  villages  were  so  scattered,  it  had  been  necessary  to 
create  three  districts,  Kaskaskia,  Prairie  du  Rocher,  and  Cahokia, 
with  establishments  practically  like  counties.  No  one  village  was 
declared  the  county  seat,  but  the  recorder,  William  St.  Clair,  selected 

^We  wish  to  make  an  acknowledgment  of  our  indebtedness  to  the  various  State 
officials  for  their  uniform  courtesy  while  we  were  examining  the  archives.  It  is  impos- 
sible to  name  all  those  who  have  contributed  to  this  report,  but  particular  mention  should 
be  made  of  Mr.  S.  L.  Spear,  of  Springfield,  who  would  have  written  a  part  of  this  report 
had  not  sickness  prevented.  His  wide  and  exact  knowledge  of  the  archives  has  been 
generously  placed  at  our  service.

Kaskaskia,  May  11th,  1809. 

Sir  :  I  herewith  transmit  you  an  acct  for  office  Rent,  with  my  receipt  for 
that  amt  I  have  resided  in  this  place  since  the  month  of  December  last.  I 
wish  to  deal  candidly  with  you.  I  have  lived  in  a  house  belonging  to  my  wife's 
father,  who  certainly  would  never  have  charged  me  any  rent.  But  if  a  friend 
should  furnish  the  Secretary  with  an  office  for  nothing,  it  being  a  personal 
favour,  it  is  no  argument  against  his  charging  the  Government  a  reasonable 
price  for  the  occupation  of  it.  Thereupon  I  submit  to  you  to  allow  or  reject 
my  claim. 

I  have  drawn  on  you  for  $150.00  on  account  of  the  contingent  expenses  of 
the  Illinois  Territory. 

It  is  not  in  my  power  to  make  arrangements  with  the  Bank  of  the  U.  States 
to  draw  my  salary,  because  I  do  not  know  how. 

With  high  consideration,  I  am  Sir  Yr  Mot  obt  Hble  Serv't

Sir 

The  accounting  officers  of  the  Treasury  to  whom  I  referred  the  voucher  for 
office  rent  annexed  to  your  letter  of  the  11th  ultimo  are  of  opinion  that  the 
most  regular  mode  will  be  for  your  father  in  law  to  sign  the  account  and  receipt 
for  the  money,  which  he  may  afterwards  make  a  present  of  to  yourself  or  any 
other  person.  It  is  proper  however  to  add,  that  forty  dollas  per  annum  is 
considered  as  the  highest  sum  which  ought  to  be  allowed  for  the  rent  of  an 
office 

I  am,  very  respectfully  Sir  Your  Obed  Serv't

Yours  under  date  of  the  8th  Ult  came  while  I  was  making  out  my  return  of 
the  Contingent  expenses  of  the  Illinois  Territory. 

I  have  in  consequence  made  an  alteration  a&  to  the  Office  Rent.     I  have 
charged  the  Secretary  five  Dollars  per  Month,  which  is  the  lowest  price,  at

How  far  the  records  of  the  secretary  of  state  suffered  is  indicated 
by  the  following  document  found  among  the  "  Miscellaneous  file  "  of 
that  office : 

Whereas  the  destruction  of  the  Bank  House  of  the  principal  Bank  of  the 
State  of  Illinois,  on  the  night  of  the  28th  instant,  by  fire,  including  the  offices 
of  Auditor  of  Public  accounts  and  Secretary  of  State,  makes  it  necessary  for 
the  Legislature  to  ascertain  the  extent  of  the  injury  done  to  the  public  interest, 
and  to  provide  a  remedy  for  the  same:  Therefore,  Resolved,  That  the  Auditor 
of  public  accounts  be  required  to  report  to  the  House  of  Representatives,  the 
extent  of  the  injury,  (if  any)  that  the  office  has  sustained  in  the  loss  of  docu- 
ments and  vouchers  properly  belonging  to  it,  by  the  conflagration  of  the  Bank 
house. 

Resolved,  that  the  Secretary  of  State  be  required  to  report  to  the  House  'of 
Representatives  the  extent  of  the  loss  (if  any)  sustained  by  that  office  in  the 
destruction  of  any  of  the  property  belonging  to  it. 

Resolved  that  the  President,  Directors  and  Cashier  of  the  principal  Bank  of 
the  State  of  Illinois,  be  required  to  report  to  the  House  of  Representatives,  the 
extent  of  the  losses  and  of  what  kind  (if  any)  that  institution  has  sustained 
by  the  recent  conflagration. 

Chas.  Dunn,  Clk  House  Rep 

[Endorsed  on  the  same  sheet.] 

Gentlemen  :  In  compliance  with  your  request  to  inform  you  of  the  extent 
of  loss  the  State  has  sustained  by  the  late  conflagration  of  the  State  Bank  in 
the  Secretary's  office,  the  Secretary  reports,  that,  &c 

There  was  but  little  individual  property  burned  in  the  Sec'ys  office.  All  that 
has  come  to  the  knowledge  of  Secy  are  the  3  vol  of  laws  of  N.  Y.  belonging  to 
Col  Dodge,  the  4th  vol  of  Bl.  Com.  2  and  3  volumes  of  Baylie's  digestive  index, 
belonging  to  W.  H.  Brown.  There  was  probably  a  fev/  other  articles  of  trifling 
consequence. 

I  am  gentlemen  with  great  respect 
Yours  &c. 

[Endorsed]  Feb  1823  Gov  Coles  Miscel. 

A  careful  search  in  the  auditor's  office  and  in  the  legislative  papers 
in  the  secretary  of  state's  office  failed  to  disclose  the  reports  expected 
from  the  auditor  and  the  bank  officials.  Sidney  Breese  in  his  intro- 
duction to  Breese's  Keports  (ed.  1831,  p.  VI),  states  that  he  had 
learned  that  the  decisions  of  the  supreme  court  made  in  the  Decem- 
ber term  of  1821  were  destroyed  in  this  fire.  A  letter  of  Gov.  Coles  ^ 
shows  that  the  books  and  papers  of  the  adjutant  general's  office  were 
destroyed  in  a  fire  that  occurred  in  the  winter  of  1823. 

The  statehouse  at  Vandalia  was  burned  down  on  December  9  of 
the  same  year.  This  fire  caused  a  serious  loss,  for  the  records  of  the 
United  States  land  office  receiver  perished.  Whether  or  not  other 
records  were  destroyed  is  uncertain.^ 

The  statehouse,  which  replaced  it,  was  abandoned  in  the  summer 
of  1836,  and  a  new  one  was  built  at  Vandalia ;  but  in  1839  the  capital 
of  the  State  was  established  at  Springfield,  and  in  July  of  that  year

office  of  the  secretary  of  state. 

The  fundamental  law  governing  the  "  Territorial  secretary  "  in  the 
discharge  of  his  duties  is  found  in  the  ordinance  of  1787  (sec.  4)  : 

It  shall  be  his  duty  to  keep  and  preserve  the  acts  and  laws  passed  by  the 
legislature,  and  the  public  records  of  the  district,  and  the  proceedings  of  the 
governor  in  his  executive  department. 

No  Territorial  statute  materially  adding  to  this  definition  of  his 
duties  has  been  found;  and  from  Territorial  times  the  Territorial 
secretary  and  his  successor,  the  secretary  of  state,  have  performed 
the  twofold  duties  assigned  above — keeping  the  executive  and  legis- 
lative records  of  Territory  and  State.  The  constitution  of  1818  (art. 
3,  sec.  20)  made  it  the  duty  of  the  secretary  of  state  to  keep  a  fair 
register  of  the  official  acts  of  the  governor,  and,  when  required,  to 
lay  the  same,  and  all  papers,  minutes,  and  vouchers  relative  thereto, 
before  either  branch  of  the  general  assembly,  and  to  perform  such 
other  duties  as  might  be  assigned  him  by  law.  The  emphasis  here,  it 
will  be  seen,  was  laid  on  the  function  of  his  office,  as  the  permanent 
half  of  the  executive  office.  He  by  this  enactment  became  the  depos- 
itary of  the  papers  of  each  governor  at  the  end  of  his  term  of  office. 
The  act  of  March  1,  1819,  however,  provided  "  that  all  public  acts, 
laws,  and  resolutions  that  have  been  or  shall  be  passed  by  the  general 
assembly  of  this  State  shall  be  carefully  deposited  in  the  office  of  the 
secretary  of  this  State;  which  said  office  shall  at  all  times  be  kept  at 
the  seat  of  government."  And  thus  the  secretary  of  state  was  con- 
tinued as  record  keeper  of  the  general  assembly.  This  act  also  re- 
quired him  to  keep  a  register  of  commissions,  as  well  as  to  supervise 
the  printing  and  distribution  of  the  printed  laws. 

The  constitution  of  1848  merely  repeated  the  provision  of  the  con- 
stitution of  1818.    However  the  corporation  act  of  1849,  its  successors

the  value  of  public  archives  as  historical  material  and  a  higher  ideal 
in  the  making  them  accessible  as  such  than  that  laid  down  in  Secre- 
tary Harlow's  report  for  1874  (p.  29 ff)  : 

It  is  my  purpose  to  classify  and  arrange  the  files  and  records  as  systematic- 
ally and  convenient  as  possible  and  to  index  so  fully  and  comprehensively  that 
any  clerk  familiar  with  them  can  in  a  few  minutes  produce  any  paper  or  docu- 
ment or  refer  to  any  executive  record  in  the  office.  *  *  *  rpj^^  pj^n  adopted 
by  me  in  this,  in  my  opinion,  most  important  undertaking  is,  in  brief,  as  fol- 
lows: Commencing  with  the  Territorial  organizations,  embracing  the  INorth- 
western  Territory,  organized  in  1788;  the  Indiana  Territory,  organized  1801; 
Illinois  Territory,  organized  1809,  each  exercising  legislative  and  executive 
jurisdiction  within  the  present  limits  of  this  State  during  the  several  periods  of 
their  existence.  The  files  and  records  relating  to  these  Territorial  governments 
will  be  collected  and,  so  far  as  possible,  all  missing  papers  replaced  by  certified 
copies  from  the  printed  records  or  transcripts  from  the  originals  whenever  and 
wherever  they  can  be  found.  Then,  commencing  with  the  organization  of  the 
'State  government  in  1818,  the  same  course  will  be  pursued,  the  object  being  to 
make  full  and  complete  files,  forming  an  archive  of  the  State  in  which  may  be 
traced  with  reasonable  accuracy  and  genuine  satisfaction  its  political  history 
properly  authenticated. 

To  do  this,  many  important  papers  and  documents  and  in  some  instances  the 
acts  entire  of  a  legislative  session  must  be  replaced  with  certified  copies,  the 
originals  having  been  lost  or  misplaced  and  not  to  be  found.  In  sdch  cases 
the  certified  copies  are  made  from  the  regular  authorized  edition  of  the  printed 
laws  of  the  Territory  or  State,  or,  in  the  event  of  no  printed  copy  being  obtain- 
able, from  manuscript  copies  taken  from  the  printed  laws  in  the  hands  of 
private  parties. 

The  report  of  1874  proceeds  with  the  outline  for  a  set  of  indexes. 
These  were  to  comprise,  first,  an  index  to  the  enrolled  laws;  second, 
"  a  General  Index  in  which  under  appropriate  headings  and  subjects 
will  be  entered  an  index  to  all  papers  and  documents  on  file  not  in- 
cluded in  the  index  to  the  Enrolled  Laws;  "  third,  an  index  to  the 
executive  records ;  fourth,  an  index  in  which  all  legislative  acts,  etc., 
relating  to  the  various  counties  should  be  indexed  county  by  county. 
In  appealing  to  the  assembly  for  appropriations  to  carry  on  this  work 
Secretary  Harlow  warned  his  readers  that  any  delay  would  result 
in  the  irretrievable  loss  to  the  State  of  many  valuable  papers  and 
documents  that  might  be  preserved  by  prompt  action. 

In  response  to  this  appeal,  the  legislature  gave  an  appropriation 
of  $4,000  for  indexing  and  for  removing  the  archives  to  the  "  new 
statehouse ;  "  the  larger  part  of  this  was  used  for  indexing.^  This 
and  subsequent  appropriations  served  to  maintain  the  "  department 
of  indexes  and  archives,"  a  subdepartment  of  the  State  office  founded 
under  the  act  of  March  30,  1874,  which  required  the  secretary  to  keep 
proper  indexes  for  his  department.  Its  chief  for  some  20  years  was 
Capt.  J.  M.  Adair.  ^     A  careful  and  thorough  index  to  the  enrolled

the  second  session  of  1819.^  It  is  probably  in  large  measure  due  to 
the  labors  of  these  two  men  that  the  archives  of  the  state  department 
are  so  nearly  complete  as  they  are  to-day. 

On  the  accession  of  the  present  administration,  that  of  the  Hon. 
James  A.  Rose  in  1897,  Mr.  S.  L.  Spear,  present  chief  of  the  index 
department,  found  nothing  like  the  "  general  index  "  projected  by 
Harlow.  Very  many  of  the  cupboards  and  filing  boxes  were  unla- 
beled and  even  unnumbered.  The  system  of  the  office  seemed  to  be 
purely  mnemonic.  As  soon  as  possible  these  defects  were  remedied 
and  a  rough  working  index  of  the  vaults  made.  When  time  could  be 
spared  from  the  current  duties  of  the  office  (the  index  department 
indexes,  the  printed  laws,  assembly  journals,  etc.),  changes  were  made 
in  the  direction  of  closer  and  more  accurate  classification.  Yet  so 
heavy  have  the  routine  duties  been  in  the  last  three  years  that  little 
has  been  accomplished  in  better  classification  of  past  records.  The 
department  cherishes  the  ideal  of  a  close  and  perfect  index  to  the 
vaults  as  one  some  day  to  be  attained.^  But  the  State  legislature 
must  aid  with  special  appropriations  if  in  the  near  future  the  index- 
ing of  the  office  is  to  come  up  to  the  standard  which  the  men  of  35 
years  ago  proposed  to  themselves.  Whether  the  end  might  not  better 
be  reached  by  intrusting  to  an  "  archives  department "  the  care  and 
indexing  of  the  archives  not  in  daily  use  is  another  question. 

The  records  deposited  in  this  office  are  most  of  them  kept  in  iron 
vaults;  a  few  record  books,  most  of  them  in  current  use,  are  kept  in 
the  main  office  in  glass  and  wooden  cases.  Accordingly,  the  records 
may  be  considered  reasonably  safe  from  fire.  Their  safety  from 
damp  is  a  more  doubtful  matter.  Vault  "  C  "  was  built  in  the  base- 
ment between  1893  and  1897.  It  catches  the  drip  from  the  capitol 
steps  and  is  so  moist  that  four-year-old  transfer  files  in  it  are  covered 
with  mold.  Some  letter  books,  reports,  etc.,  have  been  bundled  in 
wrapping  paper  before  being  stored  in  the  iron  cupboards.  But 
some  books  and  papers  of  value  not  so  protected — for  instance,  the 
original  returns  of  various  State  censuses — are  badly  mildewed  and 
their  covers  are  starting  from  damp.  It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted 
that  the  vault  was  not  long  ago  vacated.  The  office  also  uses  two 
other  vaults  for  noncurrent  records,  vault  "A"  on  the  second  and 
vault  "  B  "  on  the  first  floor  of  the  capitol.  These  are  probably  the 
"  upper "  and  "  lower  "  vaults  mentioned  above  in  the  citation  from 
Harlow's  report  of  1876.  In  addition,  one  vault  is  used  for  records  of 
the  "  antitrust  department "  and  one  for  "  shipping  department."  ^ 

1  Report,  1888,  p.  5. 

2  Information,  Mr.   S.   L.   Spear. 

3  In  the  analysis  given  below  of  the  records  in  these  vaults  the  vault  in  which  any 
record  was  found  is  indicated  by  affixing  its  letter.  Where  a  letter  is  affixed  to  a 
classification  heading,  all  items  under  that  head  were  found  in  that  vault,  except  where 
a  difeerent  letter  affixed  to  some  specific  item  indicates  for  it  a  different  location. 
"  M.  O."  indicates  that  a  record  is  in  the  office.

VIII.  Corporation  Records — Continued. 

Files  of  antitrust  affidavits  by  corporations,  1897-date.  These  are 
kept  in  filing  boxes  in  a  small  vault  in  tlie  antitrust  office.  Those 
filed  prior  to  1897  are  lying  in  heaps  in  packing  boxes  in  the  base- 
ment, where  they  were  found  by  the  present  administration;  they 
can  not  be  examined. 

Bound  records  of  the  filing  of  antitrust  affidavits  and  annual  reports, 
1893-date,  8  v.     (M.  O.)

Record  of  trade-marks,  1891-date,  6  v. 

IX.  Reports  of  state  institutions  and  officers,  etc.    In  theory  these  files  should 

contain  the  manuscripts  of  the  various  reports  to  the  governor,  etc.^- 
annual,  biennial,  and  special.  In  practice,  very  many  of  these  have  not 
.  been  thus  filed  of  late  years.  Apparently  it  has  been  considered  suffi- 
cient if  copies  of  the  printed  reports  are  on  file  in  the  secretary  of  state's 
"  document  library."  Accordingly  these  files  are  at  present  in  large  part 
catch-alls  of  special  reports,  reports  of  investigations,  correspondence 
relating  to  appointments  to  the  offices  or  commissionerships  in  question, 
etc.  Little  of  what  is  unprinted  is  of  any  great  value.  The  dates  given 
below  indicate  roughly  those  within  which  material  of  the  kinds  de- 
scribed above  is  present:

AKCHIVES   OF  ILLINOIS.  403 

XIV.  Correspondence,  Letter  books,  etc. — Continued. 

Governors'  letter  books,  1811-1850.     (A) — Continued, 

1865,  with  the  exception  of  two  books  containing  Gov.  Palmer's 
official  letters,^  is  preserved  in  vault  C  or  in  the  main  office. 
There  is  no  uniformity  in  the  governors'  correspondence.  It 
comprises  what  the  judgment  of  each  governor  classed  as 
official  and  is  in  the  form — letter-book  or  carbon  copy-  system — 
that  each  governor  adopted.  To  be  classed  with  correspond- 
ence is  a  mass  of  applications  for  office  under  Govs.  Oglesby 
and  Fifer,  in  seven  iron  cupboards  in  vault  C. 
Letter  books  of  the  secretary  of  state. 

1840-1852,  4  V.  (A)  ;  1853-1858,  2  v.  (C).  Nineteen  iron  cupboards  of 
letter  books  containing  some  250  volumes  in  vault  C  from  1869-; 
the  rest  of  the  series  is  in  the  main  office. 

The  mass  of  the  correspondence  of  governor  and  secretary  of 
state  of  late  years  can  not  accurately  be  estimated ;  there  are  some 
400  transfer  files  in  vault  C,  and  at  least  as  many  more  in  a  gal- 
lery in  the  main  office. 
The  Miscellaneous  File.    21  fb.     (B.) 

This  file  was  instituted  as  an  office  convenience  for  the  grouping  of 
various  miscellaneous  papers  and  correspondences  that  seemed  to  fit 
in  nowhere  else.  Its  nature  might  be  easily,  if  somewhat  inaccurately, 
defined  by  saying  that  from  1821-1834  it  parallels,  in  the  nature  of  its 
material,  the  governors'  letter  books  mentioned  above.  The  file  is  not 
a  current  one.    A  brief  resume  of  its  contents  is  here  given. 

For  1809  there  is  some  correspondence  of  Nathaniel  Pope,  Secretary 
of  the  Illinois  Territory  prior  to  the  assumption  of  authority  in  that 
year  by  Gov.  Ninian  Edwards.  One  correspondence  of  this  period  is 
quoted  above  as  relating  most  intimately  to  the  earliest  record  room  of 
Illinois  Territory.  Another  letter  may  be  quoted  here  because  of  its 
intrinsic  historical  value. 

Illinois  Teekitory  Kaskaskia  May  11th  1809 
Sirs  As    the    tranquility    of    this    Territory    depends    Materially, 
(perhaps  more  than  any  part  of  the  Union)   upon  the  result  of  the 
deliberations  of  the  next  Congress,  I  beg  leave  to  call  your  attention 
to  it. 

From  the  best  information  I  could  obtain  since  I  had  directed  the 
affairs  of  this  Territory,  I  am  strongly  led  to  believe  that  the  British 
emissaries  from  Canada  have  been  preparing  for  the  Worst  and  in 
the  Event  of  a  War  with  England  they  will  exert  themselves  to  arm 
the  Indians  of  the  Mississippi  and  Lake  Michigan  and  send  them 
upon  our  Frontier. 

They  have  been  endeavoring  to  collect  [the  Chiefs  of  as  many]  " 
all  the  forgoing  Indians  at  Detroit  in  this  Month  [Invitations  have 
been  sent  to  the  Kickapoos  who  reside  on  or  near  the  Illinois  River 
to  join  them]  I  can  not  imagine,  what  can  be  the  object  of  [this 
proposed]  Convention  [of  Indians],  unless  it  is  to  effect  a  combina- 
tion against  the  United  States^ [It  cannot  be  for  the  purpose  of  fur- 
nishing them  with  ammunition  because]  they  British  Merchants  have 
deposited  at  Prairie  du  Chiens  [(Dog  Prairie)]  about  ten  or  twelve 
thousand  pounds  of  powder  and  an  equivalent  in  Balls  of  various 
sizes  suitable  to  the  guns  of  the  Indians  [This  quantity  of  powder 
and  ball  is  amply  sufficient  to  furnish  the  Indians  of  the  Mississippi 
and  Illinois  Rivers  and  Lake  Michigan  with  ammunition  for  an  Expe- 
dition of  six  or  eight  months.] 


1  These  are  in  vault  A.

ARCPIIVES   OF  ILLINOIS.  405 

XIV.  Correspondence,  Letter  books,  etc. — Continued. 

The  Miscellaneous  File.     21  fb.     (B) — Continued. 

In  addition  to  these  letters  there  is  correspondence  relating  to  the 
proposed  extradition  of  the  murderer  of  John  Rice  Jones ;  there  are 
a  few  letters  from  governors  of  other  Territories.  There  are  a  few 
papers  for  the  period,  1810-1813 ;  two  or  three  of  1819. 

With  1821  the  bulk  of  material  begins  to  be  considerable.  It  in- 
cludes routine  correspondence  with  secretaries  of  state  of  other 
States — transmitting  session  laws,  etc.  For  1823  there  are  four 
letters  of  Gov.  Edward  Coles  to  tlie  governor  of  Indiana  concerning 
the  improvement  of  the  Wabash  River.  There  are  sundry  letters  con- 
cerning the  "Winnebago  War"  of  1827— reports  by  officers  to  Gov. 
Edwards,  letters  to  him,  etc.     A  typical  one  is  quoted  below. 

Randolph  County  Septr  10th,  1827. 

Dear  Sir:  I  reed  yours  of  the  4th  Inst  (last  evening)  informing 
me  of  the  refusal  of  the  Hostile  Indians  to  treat.  This  letter  has 
been  read  in  the  hearing  of  persons  who  are  your  bitter  enemies, 
whose  constant  cry  (since  the  Indian  outrages)  was  Gov  Edwards 
wanted  to  make  a  great  deal  of  fuss  about  nothing;  and  a  letter 
from  Peter  JSlenard  Jr  got  here  about  the  same  time  of  yours,  this 
letter  corresponds  with  yours,  and  he  being  one  of  those  who  said 
much  against  your  proceedings,  your  enemies  has  got  their  mouths 
shut  for  the  present.  I  will  set  out  in  the  morning  to  have  our  com- 
pany filled  out  I  wrote  you  last  week  that  we  had  a  meeting,  but  on 
account  of  the  day  being  rainy  we  only  got  58 — we  now  have  73,  in 
a  day  or  two  more,  we  will  have  96  mounted  riflemen  ready,  and  if 
called  on  we  will  cheerfully  obey  yours  orders^we  feel  much  anxiety 
to  serve  a  tour  if  you  should  need  us. 

Sir  I  remain  your  sincere  friend  James  Thompson 

Gov  Edwards 

There  are  also  tenders  of  military  services,  returns,  correspondence 
with  the  War  Department  touching  the  removal  of  the  Indians.  For 
1831-32  there  is  the  correspondence  of  Gov.  John  Reynolds  with 
Geil.  Gaines,  President  Jackson,  and  Secretary  Eaton  in  regard  to 
Indian  affairs  and  the  Black  Hawk  War.  From  1832  the  mass  of 
the  correspondence  relates  to  appointments.  In  the  fifties  the  mate- 
rial mainly  consists  of  applications  for  appointment  as  commis- 
sioner of  deeds.  For  the  Civil  War  period  there  are  papers  relating 
to  Illinois  state  measures  for  attention  to  wounded  and  sick  Illinois 
volunteers — accounts,  vouchers,  letters.  There  are  also  tenders  to 
Gov.  Yates  of  regiments,  companies,  etc. ;  applications  to  him  for  per- 
mission to  raise  troops ;  also  some  correspondence  of  Gov.  Yates 
relating  to  appointments.  There  is  a  large  package  of  letters  from 
Gov.  Oglesby,  1865-66.  In  1874-75  the  files  are  at  their  fullest. 
They  include  papers  relating  to  complaints  regarding  the  manage- 
ment of  state  institutions — testimony  pro  and  con;  correspondence 
regarding  the  "  Ku  Klux  "  disorders  of  1874 ;  strike  riots,  etc.  The 
file  ends  with  1897. 
The  Executive  File. 

In  theory  this  file  contains  the  executive  acts  of  the  governor 
which  are  recorded  in  the  executive  registers,  and  should  perhaps  as 
such  have  been  classed  among  executive  records.  But  its  contents 
in  so  many  instances  do  not  bear  out  the  theory  of  its  purpose — 
being  in  character  so  purely  miscellaneous — that  it  seemed  more 
appropriate  to  group  the  file  with  other  correspondence. 

An  analysis  of  its  contents  follows :

OFFICE  OF  THE  AUDITOR  OF  PUBLIC  ACCOUNTS. 

The  office  of  auditor  of  public  accounts  was  established  and  defined, 
to  all  appearances,  by  a  law  of  Indiana  Territory  of  August  26,  1805, 
which  is  printed  with  the  Laws  of  Illinois  (ed.  1815,  Nat.  Pope, 
comp.).  This  act  provided  that  the  auditor  be  appointed  by  the 
governor;  that  he  keep  a  fair  record  of  all  accounts  audited  by  him, 
and  all  taxes  due  the  Territorial  government ;  that  he  keep  a  fair  list 
of  all  certificates  and  warrants  drawn,  and  receive  the  treasurer's 
monthly  footing.  No  other  Territorial  statute  regulating  his  duties 
has  been  found.  The  constitution  of  1818  (schedule,  §  10)  provided 
for  his  appointment  by  the  general  assembly.  Tradition  says  that  the 
constitutional  convention  feared  that  if  the  power  of  appointment 
were  vested  in  the  governor,  and  Shadrach  Bond,  as  seemed  likely, 
were  elected  to  that  office,  he  would  not  appoint  to  the  auditorship 
the  man  whom  the  convention  favored.  An  act  of  March  24,  1819, 
required  the  auditor,  in  addition  to  the  duties  prescribed  by  the 
Territorial  act,  "  to  keep  the  accounts  of  this  State  with  any  State  or 
Territory  and.  with  the  United  States  or  any  individual ;  "  to  audit 
the  accounts  of  civil  and  legislative  officers;  to  keep  accounts  with 
collectors.  The  act  of  March  27,  1819,  also  directed  him  to  receive 
lists  of  the  proper  rating  of  the  lands  and  other  property  of  non- 
residents; likewise  to  procure  from  the  United  States  land  offices 
lists  of  lands  entered  by  nonresidents.  The  tax  law  of  1823  (February 
18)  required  him  to  sell  such  lands  of  nonrasidents  as  were  liable  for 
unpaid  taxes  at  the  statehouse  in  Vandalia;  the  act  of  1819  had 
imposed  this  duty  on  the  sheriffs.     The  act  of  February  27,  1833,

of  indexing  might  lie  on  the  ground  that  it  has  been  accompanied  by 
no  logical  rearrangement  of  the  records  in  this  vault  or  completion  of 
series  by  correlation  with  the  contents  of  the  "  first-floor  vault."  In 
the  archive  system  of  this  office  one  feels  confused  by  multiplicity  of 
detail.  There  has  been  no  arrangement  of  old  material  along  broad 
and  general  lines;  but  it  may  well  be  questioned  whether  such 
arrangement  is  possible.  The  accumulation  of  material,  for  reasons 
indicated  above  (multiplicity  of  State  accounts,  diversity  of  tax 
records,  etc.),  has  itself  been  uneven  and  fragmentary.  In  this  office 
and  that  of  the  adjutant  general,  as  contrasted  with  the  offices  of  the 
secretary  of  state  and  the  clerk  of  the  supreme  court,  the  writers  were 
given  the  impression  from  their  necessarily  hasty  survey  that  a  far 
larger  proportion  of  the  records  was  "  dead  " — ^made  up  of  archives 
that  could  not  be  considered  as  links  in  a  chain  of  homogeneous  rec- 
ords extending  down  to  the  present  time.  A  contrast  of  the  "  En- 
rolled Laws  "  in  the  State  office  with  the  auditor's  records  under  the 
banking  law  of  1851  may  serve  as  one  illustration;  more  might  be 
cited. 

The  lack  of  an  index  to  the  "first-floor  vault"  is  no  very  serioas 
matter.  The  majority  of  the  material  in  it  is  in  extensive  current 
files  or  is  well  labeled,  so  that  the  discovery  of  most  of  the  records 
in  it  is  comparatively  easy. 

The  following  analysis  of  the  records  of  this  office  has  been  based 
on  the  indexes  mentioned  above;  but  these  have  been  supplemented 
by  an  examination  of  the  contents  of  the  "  first-floor  vault "  and  in 
good  measure  of  those  of  the  other  two  vaults,  the  offices,  etc.  It 
seemed  best  to  base  this  analysis  on  subject  matter  involved  and  not 
on  the  actual  location  of  the  records;  but  in  the  case  of  each  item 
the  vault  in  which  it  is  located  is  indicated.  The  system  of  arrange- 
ment given  below  is  not  entirely  logical,  but  is  the  most  convenient.

Eleven  large  manila  bundles  marked  "  old  Letters,"  and  dated  1819- 
1871.  The  material  of  the  period  1819-1830  is,  for  the  most  part, 
composed  of  inquiries  from  nonresidents  as  to  the  tax  laws  of 
the  State  and  their  interpretation,  personal  notes  from  the  gov- 
ernor requesting  information,  etc.  Many  of  these  are  printed  in 
the  111.  Hist.  Coll.,  IV.  The  following  has  been  extracted  as  both 
interesting  and  typical: 

Washington,    (Ky)   Dec  2'lfth  1819 

Sir:  I  have  lately  purchased  the  tracts  of  land  enumerated 
below  which  are  situated  in  your  State  and,  from  a  communica- 
tion that  has  been  lately  made  me  by  Col  Key  of  this  place  feel 
somewhat  apprehensive  that  the  taxes  have  never  been  paid.  I 
must  therefore  beg  the  favour  of  you  to  inform  me  whether  my 
fears  are  well  founded,  and  in  case  of  any  neglect  on  the  part  of 
the  former  owner  I  would  be  glad  to  know  the  amount  already  due 
together  with  the  rates  of  taxation  annually  levied  under  your 
statute.  I  would  also  thank  you  to  forward  me  a  copy  of  the  act 
of  your  legislature  on  the  subject  with  all  convenient  dispatch.  I 
regret  the  necessity  I  am  under  of  occasioning  so  much  trouble  to 
an  entire  stranger  but  having  no  acquaintance  in  your  State  who 
could  afford  me  the  desired  information  I  am  in  a  manner  con- 
strained to  throw  myself  on  your  kindness.  There  is  also  another 
difficulty  from  which  I  may  possibly  be  relieved  by  your  advice,  I 
mean  the  mode  of  remitting  the  amount  of  taxes.  JThe  intercourse 
between  my  state  and  yours  is  so  very  slender  that  I  derive  but 
little  hope  from  that  source  If  a  certificate  of  deposit  in  any  of 
the  banks  of  Virginia  Baltimore  or  the  district  of  Columbia  will 
answer  your  purpose  it  will  be  a  convenience  to  me.  If  not  please 
point  out  some  other  course  that  may  be  proper — Please  direct  to 
Martinsburg  Berkeley  County  Virginia 

Yours  etc  Thomas  M  Colston 

P.  S.  I  forgot  to  make  a  request  which  may  appear  somewhat  un- 
reasonable ;  but  as  I  purchased  without  knowing  that  anything  was 
due  upon  the  lands  I  hope  for  all  the  indulgence  your  laws  will 
allow.  The  request  is — that  in  case  the  lands  have  been  advertized 
for  sale  the  proceedings  may  be  delayed  untill  I  can  have  an  oppor- 
tunity of  dischargeing  the  taxes, — ^which  shall  be  done  immediately 
on  the  receipt  of  your  statement  of  the  amount 

Yours  with  respect  Thomas  M  Colston 

Elijah  C.  Beery  Esq 

The  lands  above  referred  to  are  as  follows :

In  a  later  bundle  is  a  mass  of  correspondence  of  the  fund  commis- 
sioners with  Nicholas  Biddle  and  others;  notices  of  shipment  of 
one  locomotive,  two  passenger,  and  two  "merchandise  cars" 
from  Philadelphia  via  New  Orleans — part  of  the  equipment  of  an 
"internal  improvement"   railroad — ^were  noted.     For  later  dates

the  correspondence  is  almost  entirely  routine — inclosures,  etc. — 
except  that  there  is  some  correspondence  relating  to  the  "  free 
banking  system."  (F.  V.) 
In  the  first-floor  vault  is  one  letter  book  of  about  1842;  23  volumes 
of  letter  books,  1852-1883;  36  volumes  from  1897 (?)  to  1904.  A 
few  were  found  for  the  intermediate  dates.  In  the  upper  vault  is 
one  of  1862 ;  there  may  be  some  elsewhere  not  discovered.  In  the 
upper  vault  is  a  considerable  quantity  of  bundled  and  unlabeled 
correspondence.  It  seems  to  be  between  the  dates  1823  and  1860. 
It  is  routine — inquiries  about  taxes  on  specific  pieces  of  land, 
taxes,  etc.  Nothing  of  interest  was  noted.  In  the  upper  vault 
was  also  one  wooden  filing  cabinet  containing  correspondence, 
vouchers,  etc.,  of  about  1875.  There  are  a  few  letters  from  O.  E. 
Worthen,  connected  in  the  fifties  with  the  state  geological  survey; 
a  few  private  ones  of  O.  H.  Miner,  etc.

It  has  seemed  more  logical  to  class  by  themselves  two  bodies  of  rec- 
ords in  the  auditors'  office,  which  have  been  turned  over  to  the  State 
by  the  Federal  authorities.  These  are  the  records  of  the  United 
States  surveys  in  the  State  of  Illinois  and  the  records  of  the  Federal 
land  offices  formerly  located  in  the  State. 

In  his  report  for  1854  the  auditor  called  the  attention  of  the  legis- 
lature to  the  fact  that  the  Federal  lands  in  the  State  open  to  public 
entry  were  nearly  exhausted  and  that  accordingly  the  closing  of  the 
land  offices  might  shortly  be  looked  for.  This  event  would  result, 
under  act  of  Congress,  in  the  turning  over  the  "  maps,  field  notes,  and 
other  records  of  the  original  surveys  now  in  the  office  of  the  surveyor 


424  AMEBIC  AN   HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

general"  to  any  State  officer  authorized  by  State  legislative  enact- 
ment to  receive  them.  By  the  act  of  February  22,  1861,  the  legisla- 
ture ordered  the  secretary  of  state  to  receive  these  documents  and 
deposit  them  in  "the  room  in  the  statehouse  known  as  room  4 — or 
such  other  room  as  may  be  fitted  up  for  the  purpose."  This  act  was 
repealed  by  the  act  of  February  16,  1865,  which  further  provided 
"that  whenever  a  suitable  fireproof  building  or  room  shall  be  pre- 
pared, to  the  satisfaction  of  the  governor,  the  said  maps,  plats,  field 
notes,  and  other  records  pertaining  to  said  surveys  shall  be  removed 
and  deposited  in  it." 

A  further  act  concerning  these  records  was  passed  January  10, 
1872,  which  is  worth  quoting  in  part  at  least : 

"Whereas  the  original  field  notes  of  the  United  States  described 
in  the  title  of  this  bill,  made  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred 
and  six  and  thereafter,  are  now  many  of  them  nearly  illegible  by 
reason  of  the  lapse  of  time  and  the  imperfection  of  the  materials 
used  in  recording;  and  whereas  the  boundaries  of  counties  and  the 
location  of  all  lands  of  the  State  of  Illinois  are  dependent  on  said 
field  notes  for  the  evidence  of  their  location,"  the  custodian  of  the 
survey  records  should  copy  them ;  "  said  custodian  shall  use  the  best 
India  ink  "  in  copying  them.  An  act  of  July  1,  1874,  further  pro- 
vided that  when  the  copying  should  be  finished  the  survey  records 
should  be  lodged  with  the  auditor  and  the  office  of  custodian  cease. 
On  the  death  of  the  custodian,  Capt.  W.  W.  H.  Lawton,  June  16, 
1882,  the  auditor  took  possession  of  the  records  and  published  a  list 
of  them  in  his  report  for  1882.  This  list  is  here  given  in  full.  Notes 
have  been  added  to  the  list  in  parentheses.

By  the  act  of  May  21,  1879,  the  auditor  was  designated  the  cus- 
todian of  all  transcripts,  documents,  and  records  pertaining  to  the 
United  States  land  office  in  Springfield,  which  the  act  of  Congress 
of  July  31,  1876,  had  directed  to  be  turned  over  to  the  State  of  Illi- 
nois. These  records  included  not  only  the  records  of  the  Springfield 
office  proper,  but  the  records  of  all  the  other  land  offices  in  Illinois. 
The  records  of  these  last  had  been  deposited  with  the  Springfield 
office  20  years  before,  when  the  closing  of  the  offices  had  left  the 
Springfield  office  in  charge  of  all  Government  lands  remaining  unsold 
in  Illinois.  At  present  these  records  are  kept  in  10  large  wooden 
cupboards  (each  bearing  the  name  of  one  of  the  land  offices)  in  the 
auditor's  first-floor  office.  They  are  carefully  arranged,  each  office's 
records  being  distinct.  Record  books  are  carefully  and  intelligibly 
labeled;  papers  are  carefully  bundled  and  labeled.  The  location  is 
dry,  and  the  records,  in  their  wooden  cases,  seem  to  be  in  danger 
only  in  case  of  fire.  ,

depositions.     The  following  excerpts  are  made  from  it: 

Claim  No. 

43  The   Witnesses  all  says  that  Margaret  the  widow   of 

Josh.  Alarys  Dona-    Joseph  Alary  was  a  widow   in  the  year  1780,  that 

tion.  she  lived  in  Cahokia  with  her  Children  until  after 

the  high  water  in  1785  from  which   time   she  kept 

house  untill  her  Death  about  twelve  years  ago 

There  was  but  one  Joseph  Alary  in  the  Country  to  their 

knowledge 

572  James  Garretson  sworn  says  that  in  1786  or  1787  he

provt.  three  miles  southwardly  of  the  block   house  at  the 

Entrance  of  a  small  creek  descending  from  the  hills 

into  the  Mississippi  Bottom.     That  he  had  a   Cabin 

built   thereon   lived   there   several   years   and   raised 

several    crops    of    wheat.    Corn    and    Tobacco,    until 

obliged  on  Account  of  the  Indians  to  fort  in  1789  and 

abandon  his  house. 

A  box  containing  folios,  lists  of  claims  confirmed  and  rejected  by  the  board — 
various  heads.  All  these  are  apparently  rough  drafts  of  the  lists  printed  in 
Amer.  State  Papers.  In  addition  there  is  a  register  of  claims  confirmed  but 
unlocated  that  has  not  been  identified  in  print. 

One  folio — claims  to  lands  in  the  Illinois  country  confirmed  by  various  gov- 
ernors. Also  lists  of  names  of  persons  who  had  claims  as  heads  of  families, 
militiamen,  improvers  of  their  lands,  holders  of  ancient  grants,  etc. 

In  addition  to  these  records  there  are  five  folio  volumes  that  ap- 
parently were  used  as  an  official  register  of  deeds  of  land,  affidavits, 
etc.,  in  favor  of  claimants  before  the  commission.  Often  the  whole 
series  of  deeds  on  which  a  title  was  rested  is  to  be  found,  a  series  run- 
ning back  to  the  days  of  the  French  commandants.  Of  these  volumes 
four  contain  deeds  in  French  and  English.  At  least  the  first  two 
are  referred  to  in  the  State  Papers ;  the  fifth  volume  is  a  translation 
record  of  the  deeds  and  depositions  in  French  in  the  four  preceding 
volumes.^    A  more  particular  account  of  these  records  follows.

OFFICE   OF   THE    TREASURER. 

The  treasurer's  office  is  not  now  an  office  of  record.  There  are, 
however,  a  few  books  belonging  to  the  treasurer's  office  heaped  up  on 
a  set  of  shelves  in  the  supply  department  office.  As  these  had  to  be 
reached  by  a  long  and  unstable  ladder  in  a  room  with  insufficient 
lights,  it  was  not  possible  to  make  any  very  thorough  examination. 
Some  volumes  of  receipts  into  the  treasury,  1823-1827,  were  noted. 
There  is  a  book  labeled  "  Journal  A  No.  1,"  1821-1829.  In  all  about 
a  hundred  books  are  in  this  place,  but  many  of  them  are  blank. 

OFFICE  OF  THE   CLERK   OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT. 

The  beginnings  of  the  development  of  the  Illinois  supreme  court

^The  earlier  record  of  the  general  court  of  Illinois  Territory  is  in  the  court-house  at 
Chester,  Randolph  County. 


442  AMERICAN  HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

By  the  constitution  of  1848  the  supreme  court  was  divided  into 
three  "  grand  divisions,"  located  in  the  northern,  central,  and  south- 
ern parts  of  the  State.  There  was  a  corresponding  division  in  the 
records  of  the  court  which  continued  until,  after  1902,  all  three 
divisions  of  the  court  with  their  records  were  united  at  Springfield. 
A  year  or  two  ago  the  records  were  removed  from  the  old  capitol 
to  the  new  Building  of  Justice.  The  various  records  w^ere  undoubt- 
edly confused  in  their  removal  to  Springfield  in  1902.  They  were 
still  more  confused  in  their  transport  to  the  new  building,  especially 
the  books  mentioned  below.  A  regrettable  feature  in  this  building 
is  the  lack  of  fireproof  vaults  for  the  storing  of  records.  The  mass 
of  those  of  the  supreme  court  are  in  a  locked  room  in  the  basement 
in  wooden  pigeonholes  and  on  wooden  shelves. 

The  papers,  reports,  etc.,  connected  with  the  various  cases  that 
have  come  before  the  court  are  carefully  arranged  and  indexed.  It 
seems  that  in  the  past  these  papers  have  been  much  depleted  by  van- 
dalism and  carelessness.  In  particular,  seekers  for  Lincoln  auto- 
graphs have  assailed  them  with  such  effect  that  it  is  now  almost  an 
impossibility  in  any  way  to  find  one.^  There  are  in  addition  some  150 
bound  volumes  of  court  records  at  the  least.  These  have  been  much 
disarranged  by  moving  to  the  new  building,  and  it  has  been  impossible 
to  list  them  all  or  to  speak  with  authority  as  to  the  completeness  of 
series  of  records.  In  order  to  do  this  it  would  be  necessary  to  ar- 
range the  records  by  title,  date,  and  division,  a  manifestly  impossi- 
ble thing  to  do  in  the  scope  allotted  this  survey.  It  is  believed  that 
all  the  books  of  the  period  prior  to  1860  have  been  listed,  volume  by 
volume.  The  heads  under  which  the  records  of  the  later  period  fall 
are  indicated  below.^

340  pages,  of  which  46  are  blank ;  index,  22  pages  in  addition.  The  first  38 
pages  contain  the  record  of  the  "  General  Court  of  Illinois  Territory  "  ;  pages 
38-91  the  record  of  the  court  of  appeals  for  the  August  terms  of  1815  and 
1816  and  the  June  terms  of  1817  and  1818.  On  page  92  the  record  of  the 
supreme  court  begins.  Last  entry,  December,  1823.  In  the  back  of  the 
book  are  the  rules  of  the  court  and  the  "  Eoll  of  Attourneys "  admitted  to 
practice.  Sixty-five  entries ;  first  entry,  July  14,  1819 ;  last  entry,  February 
22,  1833.  The  fact  that  these  names  are  in  different  handwritings  suggests 
that  in  some  cases  at  least  they  may  be  signatures  of  the  attorneys  admitted.

OrnCE   OF   THE   ADJUTANT   GENERAL. 

The  adjutant  general,  as  his  office  was  originally  designed  (act  of 
Indiana  Territory  of  September  IT,  1807,  printed  as  part  of  the  Illi- 
nois code  of  1815;  act  of  March  26,  1819),  was  a  mere  aid  of  the 
governor  in  his  function  as  commander  in  chief  of  the  militia.  The 
act  of  1819  made  it  the  duty  of  the  adjutant  geneijal  to  receive  re- 
turns of  certain  militia  elections  (the  others  were  certified  to  the 
governor  direct),  to  certify  regarding  them  to  the  governor,  to  file 
militia  returns  of  the  form  prescribed  by  the  militia  law  in  his  office, 
and  to  forward  abstracts  of  them  to  the  governor  and  to  the  authori- 


444  AMERICAN   HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

ties  at  Washington,  D.  C.  He  was  in  addition  to  serve  as  inspector 
general.  The  act  of  February  8,  1821,  in  addition  required  him  to 
procure  commissions  for  militia  officers  from  the  secretary  of  state, 
to  register  and  to  forward  them.  He  was  also  under  this  act  to  keep 
a  file  of  certificates  of  elections  in  his  office  at  the  seat  of  government. 

The  adjutant  general  continued  to  be  bound  by  law  to  discharge 
such  duties  until  the  Civil  War.  The  numerous  acts  designed  to 
tinker  the  "  universal  service  "  militia  system  into  efficient  order  made 
no  change  in  these.  The  militia  act  of  May  2,  1861,  provided  for 
annual  militia  censuses,  with  returns  to  the  adjutant  general's  office. 
It  was  in  fact  the  Civil  War,  for  which  this  act  was  designed  as  a 
preparation,  that  by  the  very  vastness  of  the  flood  of  duties  it  poured 
on  the  military  authority  of  the  State  raised  the  office  to  an  im- 
portant height.  The  act  of  February  2,  1865,  was  a  somewhat  tardy 
recognition  of  the  new  importance  of  the  adjutant  general.  He  was 
to  issue  and  sign  all  military  orders  of  the  governor;  carefully  to 
preserve  all  military  correspondence ;  to  keep  muster  rolls  of  Illinois 
volunteers,  and  rosters  of  commissioned  officers;  he  was  to  report 
annually ;  finally,  all  records  and  military  papers  in  the  office  of  the 
secretary  of  state  were  to  be  transferred  to  his  care  and  to  constitute 
part  of  the  records  of  his  office.  Though  his  position  under  this  act 
was  to  last  only  during  the  war,  or  so  long  as  the  governor  deemed 
necessary,  the  act  of  March  10,  1869,  made  the  office  permanent  and 
annexed  to  it  the  duties  of  chief  of  ordnance.  The  later  militia 
acts,  that  have  evolved  first  the  "  volunteer  system  "  and  then  the 
Illinois  National  Guard  from  the  old  universal  service  militia  system, 
have  largely  increased  the  duties  of  the  adjutant  general,  as  an  ex- 
amination of  the  records  listed  below  will  make  clear. 

The  records  to  be  found  in  this  office  and  their  condition  can  best 
be  considered  in  connection  with  this  sketch  of  its  legislative  history. 
The  mass  of  militia  returns  that  the  laws  above  cited  would  lead  one 
to  expect  are  conspicuous  by  their  absence.  A  fire  that  destroyed  the 
records  of  the  office  in  the  winter  of  1823  (111.  Hist.  Coll.,  IV,  54)  is 
perhaps  responsible  in  part  for  this  condition.  The  mass  of  records, 
indicated  as  having  been  found  in  this  office  for  the  period  prior  to 
the  Civil  War,  were  probably  for  the  most  part  deposited  under  the 
act  of  1865.  A  guess  might  be  hazarded  that  the  similarity  of  part 
of  the  material  dating  from  1811  to  that  in  the  executive  files  of  the 
secretary  of  state  is  due  to  an  unskillful,  if  conscientious,  attempt 
to  live  up  to  the  requirements  of  the  act  of  1865,  by  transferring  to 
the  adjutant  general  all  documents  that  were  in  any  sense  military 
records;  and  this  led  to  a  consequent  division  of  the  above-mentioned 
files.  The  muster  rolls  of  the  Black  Hawk  and  Mexican  Wars  have 
been  copied  from  records  in  Washington.  As  for  the  period  imme- 
diately preceding  the  Civil  War,  Adjt.  Gen.  Fuller,  in  his  report 


ARCHIVES   OF   ILLINOIS.  445 

for  1861-62  (p.  11),  states  that  his  predecessor  turned  over  to  him 
only  25  bonds  for  arms,  issued  to  militia  companies,  and  37  certifi- 
cates of  election  for  the  period  1857-1860.  A  better  commentary  on 
the  complete  breakdown  of  the  old  militia  system  could  not  be  offered. 

The  character  of  the  papers,  etc.,  of  this  period,  as  well  as  that  of 
a  great  body  of  Civil  War  and  post-Civil  War  books  and  documents, 
is  apparently  unknown  to  the  clerks  in  the  office.  These  records  are 
kept  in  no  apparent  order  in  large  iron  cases.  While  they  are  here 
preserved  in  safety  from  fire  and  damp  they  are  not  accessible  to 
students ;  and  this  is  not  a  source  of  wonder.  A  great  gulf  separates 
these  relics  of  the  old  militia  regime  from  the  present-day  adminis- 
tration. The  rapid  changes  in  law  have  given  no  opportunity  for 
continuity  in  the  records;  nor  is  there  any  call  for  information  to 
be  drawn  from  these  older  files,  such  as  has  resulted  in  the  ordering 
of  the  major  part  of  the  records  of  the  contributions  of  Illinois  in 
the  Civil  War. 

The  following  report  has  been  prepared  from  an  examination  of 
the  records,  of  necessity  hasty  and  imperfect: 

Territorial  Militia  Records,  etc. 

One  bundle  of  papers  labeled  "  War  of  1812  ";  it  includes  (a)  muster  rolls, 
inspection  returns,  morning  reports  of  various  militia  companies,  mostly 
of  the  war  of  1812 — some  of  earlier  dates,  56  pieces.  (&)  Letters  to 
Governor  Ninian  Edwards  and  others  from  Isaac  White,  N.  Boilvin, 
Greenup,  D.  Bissell,  Russell,  Rector,  etc.  Some  of  these  are  merely 
election  returns  of  companies,  some  relate  to  Indian  affairs  (there  is  a 
rough  draft  of  an  Indian  "talk",  etc.)  1810-1815,  56  pieces.  The  follow- 
ing specimens  have  been  selected,  almost  at  random : 

[Isaac  White  to  Ninian  Edwards.] 

U.  S.  Saline  28th  July  1810 
Deab  Sir  :  I  received  your  letter  by  Colo  Rector  with  very  pleasant  emotions 
and  am  highly  gratified  to  know  that  my  conduct  is  approved  of  by  you,  the 
commissions  were  also  Received  and  Several  of  the  officers  sworn  in  immedi- 
ately the  most  of  them  being  present  at  a  drill  muster,  we  continued  the  muster 
two  days  and  were  much  improved  by  it.  I  hope  you  will  not  attribute  by 
importunity  to  any  sinister  motive  but  I  really  wish  that  there  could  be  new 
companies  allowed  in  Fords  Fergusons  and  Evans  Companies  districts.  A  Vol- 
unteer Company  in  Shawnee  Town  District  would  remidy  the  evil  complained 
of  in  that  quarter,  the  law  makes  64  rank  and  file  a  Company,  but  may  be 
extended  to  80.  4  Companies  a  battalion,  2  Battalions  a  Regiment.  There  is 
four  of  these  companies  that  has  upwards  of  one  hundred  rank  and  file  now  I 
can  no  more  tell  what  is  to  be  done  legally  with  all  over  Eighty  than  I  can 
tell  what  would  be  done  with  five  companies  to  a  Battalion  or  three  Battalions 
to  a  regiment.  Maj'r  Ferguson  and  Capt  Evans  think  that  it  will  be  Morrally 
impossible  to  Compell  all  the  men  in  their  district  to  meet  in  one  place  to 
muster. 

By  returns  made  to  me  William  Alcom  [?]  has  been  elected  Capt  Gab'l  Tis- 
worth  [?]  lieut  Saml  Waters  Ensign  in  the  Company  formerly  commanded  by 
Majr  Furgessen.  Thomas  Griffith  Capt  Thomas  Wells  IJeut  Walker  Danuel 
Ensign  in  Daniels  Setlement  though  I  am  told  that  Wells  has  absconded.  It 
will  be  a  great  favour  to  these  Gentlemen  if  you  should  Commission  them,  to 
authorise  the  nearest  Justice  of  the  peace  to  swear  them  in.  William  Povvel 
has  been  elected  Lieutenant  and  James  Mc  Daniel  Ensign  in  Captain  Evans 
Company.    I  have  two  blank  commissions  (which  were  intended  for  Capt  Fer-

gessous  Subalterns)  which  I  will  fill  up  with  the  names  of  Powel  and  Mc- 
Daniels  if  you  have  no  objection  if  you  will  allow  of  a  Volunteer  Company  to  be 
raised  in  this  Battalion  I  wish  you  would  appoint  Leo*^  White  Captain  H  Henry 
Kenyon  Lieutenant  and  John  Forester  Ensign  if  they  will  accept,  and  I  think 
they  will.  Kenyon  is  my  Adjutant  and  a  very  Clever  fellow,  and  the  appoint- 
ment of  Forrester  would  conciliate  the  minds  of  the  people  in  that  district  fifty 
two  out  of  a  hundred  and  six  voted  for  him  as  their  Capt.  I  enclose  you  a  Sub- 
scription raised  by  Campbell,  but  he  is  not  Eligable  and  Such  a  Character  as 
1  think  you  would  not  appoint.  I  also  inclose  a  petition  handed  me  by  Maj'r 
Fergusson  for  a  Justice  of  the  peace  in  the  neighborhood  of  Fort  Massack,  I 
am  not  acquainted  with  the  person  but  Maj'r  Fergusson  speaks  highly  of  him 
and  upon  further  acquaintance  with  Maj'r  Fergusson  I  realy  think  highly  of 
him. 

I  am  with  profond  Respect  Your  Excellency's  Most  Obt  Servt

Deae  Sir:  Wm  Bates  acting  Governor  of  the  Territory  of  Louisiana  has  in- 
formed me,  of  your  having  complained  to  him,  that  I  have  granted  Licenses 
within  this  Territory  to  trade.  Several  Persons  have  applied  to  me  for  Li- 
censes, but  I  have  referred  them  to  you,  and  I  told  Mr  Pollier  and  others  to 
inform  themselves  thereof  below.  I  am  sorry  any  Misrepresentations  should 
have  been  made  by  some  Persons,  as  I  told  every  one  I  would  not  act  without 
Orders  from  the  Government  of  this  Territory,  A  fatal  Catastrophe  occurred 
here  on  the  26th  of  Last  Month.  Felix  Mervier  a  blacksmith  by  trade,  was 
Killed  by  francois  LaChapele,  a  Baker,  the  latter  in  a  quarrel  fired  a  Pistol 
loaden  with  large  Shot,  32  of  which  were  found  to  have  entered  in  Merviers 
left  breast  he  was  deprived  of  Life  instantly.  The  Perpetrator  has  escaped, 
I  have  offered  an  Reward  for  his  Apprehension  but  nothing  has  been  heard  of 
him  as  yet.  An  Inquest  was  held  on  the  Body  of  Mervier,  and  the  Jurors 
brought  in  Wilful  Murder

P.  S. — ^As  I  have  told  Mr  Pollier  when  he  went  below,  that  I  would  not  grant 
any  Licenses  for  this  Side  of  the  Mississippi,  and  that  he  should  enquire  him- 
self, as  I  had  no  Power  to  do  so,  you  would  oblige  me  to  inform  me  early  in  the 
Spring  and  give  me  Instructions  what  I  shall  do,  and  if  you  give  me  Instruc- 
tions to  grant  License,  please  to  Send  me  the  form,  and  the  Duty  thereon,  as 
I  have  said  to  Pollier  that  I  perhaps  gett  Orders  from  below,  and  I  wish  to

Nashville  25  July  1815 

Sie:  T  have  received  your  letters  of  the  11th  and  lOth  Instant  respecting  the 
hostile  disposition  which  is  continued  to  be  manifested  by  several  of  the  Tribes 
of  Indians  with  whom  you  had  to  treat. 

In  consequence  of  Gov.  Clark  having  stated  in  a  letter  of  the  IGth  Inst  that 
on  returning  to  the  Portage  des  Sioux  [V]  he  would  write  me  more  fully  on 
the  subject,  I  have  declined  taking  measures  until  the  arrival  of  that  letter. — 
for  calling  out  a  suHicient  force  of  the  militia  of  Tennessee  and  Kentucky  to  i)ut 
an  end  to  all  disturbances  in  that  quarter  and  to  secure  permenent  tranquility

to  our  Frontiers.  I  have  this  clay  written  the  Sec :  of  War  on  the  subject  stat- 
ing that  if  I  shall  receive  a  confirmation  in  the  letter  which  I  expect  of  what 
has  been  already  communicated  to  me,  I  will  take  immediate  and  effectual 
measures  for  the  Occasion. 

I  must  now  request  that  you  will  lose  no  time  in  informing  me  whether  the 
Indians  continue  to  display  a  hostile  attitude — how  many  Tribes  do  so — their 
strength — whether  they  have  crops  growing,  and  where  their  most  populous  vil- 
lages are  situated. 

If  the  conduct  of  any  of  them  should  render  a  special  communication  neces- 
sary you  will  forward  it  by  express.  Col  Miller,  for  the  present  is  ordered  to 
take  Command  of  that  Section  of  the  Division,  and  is  authorized  to  call  out 
from  the  militia  such  auxilliary  force  as  may  be  necessary  for  the  protection  of 
the  Frontier,  and  to  act  in  all  things  thereto  appertaining  with  a  sound  discre-

A  set  of  filing  cases  containing  various  papers  filed  according  to  county. 
Among  these  a  few  brigade  inspectors'  reports,  1847-1849.     Also  a  few 
papers  about  1855-1856.     Searching  through  all  the  filing  cases  in  this 
set  was  impossible ;  but  search  for  a  few  of  the  oldest  and  largest  counties 
failed  to  reveal  earlier  correspondence.

The  working  ofiice  record  is  a  series  of  volumes  in  which  have  been 
transcribed  and  compiled  such  records  of  the  Illinois  contributions  to  the 
Union  army  as  are  accessible.  These  comprise  usually  the  particulars 
of  the  muster-in  rolls — description  of  recruit,  country  or  State  of  birth, 
occupation,  age,  whether  married  or  single,  place  and  date  of  enlistment, 
date  of  muster  out,  discharge,  or  promotion,  or  date  and  particulars  of

The  files  arranged  by  counties  mentioned  above  under  State  period,

18-45  years  of  age,  with  information  as  to  whether  or  not  they  had  already 
enlisted  under  the  General  Orders  of  the  War  Department,  99  (#1862, 
draft).  The  lists  for  Cook  County  towns  are  found  elsewhere,  bound  in 
two  volumes,  as  well  as  those  for  Lake  County  (1  v.),  Rock  Island 
County  (1  v.),  and  Adams  County  (1  v.). 

The  files  also  contain  reports  of  enrolling  officers,  July-August,  1862, 
and  company  reports  of  enlistments,  call  of  July,  1862  (for  Cook  County 
these  are  in  separate  packages  elsewhere)  ;  in  some  cases  the  militia

was  chanced  upon : 

Shelbyville  April  26  1864 
To  A.  C.  Fuller 

Adjutant  General  of  the  State  of  Ills 

Sir  I  rec  your  order  of  April  15  and  Make  the  following  Report  these 
Crossed  are  enlisted  in  the  54  Ills  vol.  [List  of  43  men  follows]  all

tactics  is  our  principal  law  as  for  drill  we  have  progressed  as  well  as 
could  be  expected  not  having  any  arms  to  drill  with  as  for  other  infor- 
mation i  have  this  to  Say  that  About  the  31  of  March  I  saw  the  Copper- 
heads of  this  Settlement  gathering  at  the  house  of  one  Marcus  Richardson 
Sheriff  of  Shelby  Co  armed  to  the  number  of  from  30  to  40  and  I  took 
the  opportunity  to  See  what  they  was  doing  as  Soon  as  it  was  dark  So 
that  i  Could  Slip  on  them  But  they  dispersed  Soon  after  I  got  close 
enough  to  Begin  to  hear  what  they  was  Saying  and  All  that  i  Could 
Make  out  what  they  intended  was  to  find  out  the  Strength  of  our  men  i 
suposed  at  Mattoon  and  then  for  their  Spy  to  Report  the  next  day  at  the 
house  of  one  Wm  Stewartson  But  dident  do  any  thing  more  we  would 
like  to  have  Some  arms  and  Equipments  if  they  are  to  Be  had  any 
Posible  way  as  the  K  G  C  ^  threaten  opposition  to  any  enforcement  of  the

OFFICE  OF  THE  SUPERINTENDENT  OF  PUBLIC  INSTRUCTION. 

This  office  was  created  by  an  act  of  February  28,  1854.  The  super- 
intendent was  required  by  the  act  to  file  all  papers,  reports,  and 
public  documents  transmitted  by  school  officials  of  the  State.  The 
act  of  February  16,  1857,  required  him  to  report  on  certain  subjects 
biennially  to  the  governor.  It  is  the  intention  of  the  superintendent 
in  the  near  future  to  have  the  material  in  his  vault  and  office  care- 
fully classified  and  indexed.  Except  for  the  fact  that  there  is  no 
index  to  the  contents  of  the  two-story  vault  which  serves  this  office, 
the  manuscript  records  seem  to  be  in  fairly  good  condition.  In  ad- 
dition to  these  manuscript  records  there  is  a  large  collection  of  pub- 
lished matter  in  the  office — textbooks,  educational  periodicals,  etc. — of 
considerable  value  and  interest.  A  summary  of  the  manuscript  ma- 
terial in  the  office  follows : 

County  superintendents'  reports  to  the  superintendent  of  public  instruction. 
These  reports,  of  course,  contain  different  material  at  different  periods.  The 
contents  of  one  of  1873  is  here  briefly  indicated.  For  each  township :  number 
of  persons  under  21;  number  between  6  and  21;  whole  number  of  school 
districts;  those  having  five  months  of  school  or  less;   those  having  more;

number  of  male  and  female  teachers  and  pupils ;  libraries  in  district ;  amount 
of  school  lands  sold  during  the  year  ;  amount  of  those  still  unsold ;  number  of 
stone,  brick,  frame  and  log  schoolhouses ;  years'  accounts  ;  records  of  examina- 
tions for  teachers'  certificates;  number  of  teachers'  institutes,  etc.;  number 
of  teachers  with  normal  school  training  in  the  district;  activities  of  the 
county  superintendent,  schools  visited,  etc.  To  1874,  the  reports  are  in  loose 
sheets  done  up  in  packages.  From  1861  to  1874,  they  are  complete  except 
for  1863,  1865.  From  1874  they  are  in  five  volumes  each  year,  except  for 
1877  v^^hich  never  has  been  bound,  to  1879.  Half  of  the  reports  for  1880 
could  not  be  found ;  from  1881  to  date  there  are  four  bound  volumes  for  each 
year. 

Correspondence  connected  with  these  reports  has  at  times  been  filed  separately 
and  kept  in  separate  bundles :  1879,  1  pkg. ;  1880  2  pkg. ;  1881,  1  pkg. ;  1882,

OFFICE  OF  THE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL. 

No  enactment  has  been  found  defining  the  duties  or  office  of  the 
attorney  general  for  Territorial  Illinois.  The  office,  however,  was 
provided  for  by  the  constitution  of  1818  (schedule  No.  10).  It  was 
clearly  the  intention  of  the  constitutional  convention  of  1847  to 
"abolish"  the  office  (Journal  of  Convention,  p.  534;  in  the  address 
to  the  people  in  commenting  on  the  convention's  work  they  speak  of 
its  action  in  "  abolishing  "  the  office) .  Yet,  oddly  enough,  the  consti- 
tution of  1848  in  another  place  (Art.  Ill,  sec.  29)  expressly  forbids 
the  attorney  general  to  have  a  seat  in  the  general  assembly.  The 
office  lapsed,  until  it  was  recreated  by  the  act  of  February  27,  1867, 
which  provided  for  the  appointment  of  an  attorney  general  by  the 
governor  and  senate  forthwith,  and  his  election  thereafter  by  popular 
vote. 

The  records  of  this  office  are  kept  in  a  room  in  the  basement  of  the 
new  court  building.    A  schedule  of  them  follows : 

Opinion  records.  Vols.  1,  2,  3,  1873-1893,  contain  the  opinions  duly  copied  out 
by  hand.  Vols.  4-9,  1893-1905,  are  letter-press.  These  are  indexed  by  title. 
The  records  of  the  present  administration  which  dates  from  1905  are  kept 
in  the  main  office. 

Letter  books,  1875-1905,  39  v.     Current  letters,  informal  opinions,  etc. 

Old  letters,  etc.;  a  great  many  of  these  are  kept  in  large  transfer  cases  but 
have  fallen  into  confusion ;  one  file  for  1874 ;  another  for  about  1884 ;  a  third 
contains  miscellaneous  papers,  some  of  1881  and  1890  being  noted. 

Correspondence,  1875-1880,  12  transfer  files;  1887-1889,  1  file;  1893-1904,  72 
transfer  files. 

Legal  papers,  35  pkg.,  relating  to  cases  at  law;  motions,  etc.  All  are  of  com- 
paratively recent  dates.    Labeled  "  File  case  No.  1,"  etc.

list  of  corporations. 

BOARD    or   COMMISSIONERS    OF   PUBLIC    CHARITIES. 

This  board  was  created  by  legislative  enactment  of  April  9,  1869. 
It  was  given  at  first  only  powers  of  visitation  and  recommendation ;

ARCHIVES   OF  ILLINOIS.  457 

letter  books  mentioned  above,  mixed  with  old  account  books.  It  was 
impossible  to  determine  accurately  what  was  in  the  room;  but  none 
of  the  material  probably  was  of  great  value.  This  is  undoubtedly 
the  worst  basement  storeroom  in  the  capitol.  After  much  effort  an 
appropriation  to  provide  for  arranging  these  records  in  the  main 
office  has  been  obtained  by  the  board.

BOARD  OF  AGRICULTURE. 

Created  as  successor  to  the  Illinois  Agricultural  Society  by  act  of 
April  15,  1872.  At  present,  and  probably  for  some  time  past,  the 
printed  reports  of  the  board  include  all  material  found  in  its  manu- 
script records.  Accordingly  no  particular  attempt  has  been  made  to 
preserve  those  records.  This  statement,  made  by  the  chief  clerk  of 
the  office,  would  doubtless  apply  to  several  of  the  other  offices  of  simi- 
lar  type.

OmCE   or   THE   SUPERINTENDENT   OF    INSURANCE. 

This  office  was  created  by  act  of  June  20,  1893;  in  force  July  1, 
1893.  The  records  of  earlier  date  than  1893  were  amassed  in  the 
auditor's  office  during  the  40  years  in  which  he  had  supervision  of 
insurance  in  the  State. 

In  a  vault  opening  out  of  the  main  office  and  fitted  up  with  filing 
boxes  are  kept  records  of  the  insurance  companies  of  various  kinds. 
In  general,  this  vault  contains  the  papers,  statements,  etc.,  required 
by  law  to  be  filled  by  the  various  types  of  insurance  companies  pre- 
liminary to  beginning  business;  there  are  also  various  papers  filed 
with  the  above  since  1893.  One  or  more  boxes  are  allotted  to  each 
company.  To  give  an  instance:  A  life  insurance  company  incor- 
porated in  Illinois  has  on  file  a  copy  of  the  charter  approved  by  the 
superintendent  of  insurance  and  the  attorney  general;  the  approval 
of  the  charter  allows  the  company  to  open  books  for  subscriptions 
to  stock.  When  $100,000  in  approved  securities  have  been  deposited 
with  the  superintendent  and  an  examiner  has  certified  to  the  condi- 
tion of  the  company,  it  is  allowed  to  begin  the  writing  of  insurance. 
Finally  all  amendments  to  the  charter  or  by-laws  must  be  filed  with 
the  superintendent  of  insurance.  In  addition  there  are  22  filing 
boxes  of  papers  of  companies  that  have  been  refused  a  license  or  have 
gone  out  of  business ;  two  files  of  papers  relating  to  violations  of  law ; 
five  files  of  returns  of  agents  under  the  "  surplus-line  "  law. 

In  the  main  office  are  a  large  number  of  filing  boxes  of  older  type 
used  as  dead  files  for  the  files  in  the  vault.  The  material  in  them 
dates  back  to  1855 ;  they  contain  statements  of  one  sort  and  another 


AKCHIVES   OF  ILLIN^OIS.  461 

and  more  important  correspondence.  There  are  2,108  file  boxes,  of 
which  many  are  empty,  and  there  is  a  book  index.  The  other  con- 
tents of  this  office  are  as  follows : 

Bound  statements  of  insurance  companies  from  1869  or  a  later  date  of  organi- 
zation to  1891  or  an  earlier  date  of  suspension;  sometimes  statements  of

All  papers  of  applicants,  examination,  application,  etc.,  are  kept 
in  filing  cases.  All  letters  subsequently  received,  carbon  copies  of 
all  letters  sent  are  filed  here.  Letters  of  the  commissioners  are  kept 
in  separate  filing  cases.  The  commission  is  allowed  to  destroy  the 
above-mentioned  application  papers  every  two  years.  For  a  time  it 
probably  will  do  so  every  five. 

STATE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 

The  secretary  of  the  board  of  health  declined  to  accord  the  nec- 
essary access  to  his  records  for  the  preparation  of  this  report.  The 
information  given  below  has  accordingly  been  gathered  from  the? 
Kevised  Statutes.  The  office  was  created  by  act  of  May  28,  1877. 
The  act  gave  the  board  supervision  over  the  collection  of  vital  sta- 
tistics in  the  State.  The  act  of  April  21,  1899,  provided  that  reports 
of  births  and  deaths  be  made  to  the  board  or  to  the  county  clerk. 
The  board  was  further  required  to  keep  a  record  of  certificates  of 
death  made  to  it. 

ILLINOIS  STATE  HISTORICAL  LIBRARY. 

This  department,  created  May  25,  1889,  has  never  been  made  the 
depository  of  the  State  archives,  so  that  its  collection  of  manuscripts 
is  composed  of  private  collections  that  may  have  been  given  or 
bought.  Since  the  department  is  constantly  making  its  own  reports, 
it  has  seemed  unnecessary  to  include  a  description  of  its  material 
here.

A  PRELIMINARY  REPORT  ON  THE  ARCHIVES  OF  NEW  MEXICO. 


It  would  be  hard  to  find  a  State  or  Territory  whose  records  are  in 
a  more  chaotic  and  incomplete  condition  than  those  of  New  Mexico. 
In  view,  however,  of  the  many  powers,  Spanish,  Indian,  Mexican, 
and  American,  by  which  it  has  been  ruled  or  misruled,  the  wonder 
is  not  that  its  records  are  disorganized  or  lost,  but  that  it  has  any 
records  at  all.  The  Spanish  people  who  controlled  its  early  des- 
tinies have  always  left  rather  full  accounts  of  their  deeds  wherever 
they  went.  This  is  particularly  true  of  the  reports  which  they  made 
to  the  higher  authorities.  These,  however,  are  to  be  found  chiefly  in 
the  great  central  repositories  in  Mexico  and  Spain.  This  fact  calls 
our  attention  to  the  great  importance  of  the  Spanish  and  Mexican 
archives  for  the  history  of  New  Mexico  and  the  Southwest.  But 
early  New  Mexico  presents  a  situation  which  was  not  conducive  to 
the  writing  of  history  or  the  keeping  of  elaborate  records.  It  was  a 
wild,  barren  region,  traversed  and  harassed  by  bands  of  savage  In- 
dians, and  was  far  away  from  any  center  of  civilization  offering  the 
means  and  incentives  for  such  work.  Its  inhabitants  were  engaged  in 
the  difficult  business  of  conquering  their  immediate  physical  environ- 
ment, not  in  writing  books. 

The  documentary  period  of  New  Mexican  history  extends  from 
1598,  when  Don  Juan  de  Onate  planted  the  first  permanent  Spanish 
settlement  at  San  Gabriel  (now  Chamita,  30  miles  north  of  Santa 
Fe) ,  down  to  the  present  time.  But  the  documents  are  far  from  cov- 
ering the  period.  The  chief  reasons  for  this  will  be  recited  in  the 
following  paragraphs: 

In  August,  1680,  there  was  a  general  uprising  of  the  Pueblo  In- 
dians, known  as  the  Pueblo  Eebellion.  All  Spaniards  were  either 
driven  from  the  country  or  butchered  in  true  Indian  fashion.  When 
the  natives  were  once  more  in  undisputed  possession  they  took  full 
advantage  of  their  victory.  Santa  Fe  was  the  capital  and  record 
town  of  the  Province.  Here  the  Pueblos  brought  forth  all  records 
of  the  church  and  Government  and  made  a  bonfire  of  them  in  the 
center  of  the  plaza.  Thus  perished  in  a  day  the  records  of  almost  a 
century  of  Spanish  occupation  of  New  Mexico.  There  is  a  tradition 
that  when  Gov.  Otermin  and  his  people  abandoned  Santa  Fe  and

started  south  they  carried  with  them  a  very  considerable  body  of 
records.  These  were  evidently  deposited  at  El  Paso  del  Norte,  where 
it  is  supposed  that  they  still  remain.  For  the  history  of  this  period 
we  must  go  to  the  archives  of  Mexico  and  Spain  and  to  the  books 
written  in  those  countries  at  that  time.  Much  of  what  happened  iii 
those  years  in  this  far-away  northern  Province  must  remain  forever 
a  sealed  secret.  There  are  in  the  Library  of  Congress,  as  I  shall  point 
out  later,  a  few  documents  from  the  period  prior  to  1680,  one  of  them 
dating  back  to  1621.  It  is  probable  that  these  documents  were  car- 
ried away  by  the  departing  Spaniards  at  the  time  of  the  Pueblo  Re- 
bellion and  brought  back  at  the  time  of  the  reconquest  by  Don  Diego 
de  Vargas,  1692-1694,  and  not  that  they  remained  in  the  Province 
during  that  period  of  Pueblo  government.  In  connection  with  the 
archives  of  the  Historical  Society  of  New  Mexico  I  shall  point  out 
one  brief  contemporary  account  of  the  Pueblo  Rebellion,  which  is 
now  in  the  possession  of  that  society. 

Another  case  of  wanton  destruction  of  records,  though  of  less  im- 
portance than  the  preceding,  belongs  to  the  same  period.  H.  O. 
Ladd,  in  The  Story  of  New  Mexico  (p.  125),  tells  us  that  in  1674 
Friar  Francisco  de  Ayeta  came  to  New  Mexico  as  procurer  and  be- 
came the  director  of  the  missions,  and  that  there  was  an  official 
reconciliation  between  the  secular  authorities  and  the  clergy  (about 
1676),  as  a  result  of  which  all  previous  documents  containing  accusa- 
tions of  any  kind  against  the  ecclesiastics  were  publicly  burned  at 
Santa  Fe. 

From  the  return  of  the  Spanish  settlers  in  1692-1694  until  the 
time  of  the  American  occupation  the  records  of  the  Territory  seem 
to  have  suffered  no  special  loss  and  to  have  been  in  the  main  well 
cared  for.  In  1870  the  archives  were  injured  by  an  act  of  vandalism 
unparalleled  in  our  history.  In  a  time  of  profound  peace,  under  an 
administration  supposedly  civilized,  the  American  governor  of  New 
Mexico  allowed  its  archives  to  be  sold  to  the  merchants  of  Santa  Fe 
as  wrapping  paper,  and  even  to  be  used  as  kindling  in  the  offices. 
These  records  had  been  badly  neglected  and  abused  during  and  since 
the  Civil  War.  They  were  very  numerous,  and,  perhaps,  in  the  way 
in  the  then  crowded  condition  of  the  old  governor's  palace.  There 
were,  in  fact,  wagonloads  of  them,  the  hoarded-up  historical  treas- 
ures of  more  than  a  hundred  and  eighty  years.  Nothing  can  be  said 
in  defense  of  such  a  crime  against  the  people  of  the  Territory  in  par- 
ticular and  historical  scholarship  in  general. 

SPANISH  AND  MEXICAN  ARCHIVES. 

When  this  Territory  was  acquired  from  the  Republic  of  Mexico, 
in  1848,  all  the  official  records  of  New  Mexico  passed  with  the 
Territory  from  the  control  of  the  Government  of  Mexico  into  that 


ARCHIVES   OF   NEW   MEXICO.  471 

of  the  Government  of  the  United  States.  This  included  all  the 
existing  records  prior  to  1847.  The  Federal  authorities  then  in  con- 
trol allowed  the  documents  to  remain  in  the  custody  of  the  Terri- 
torial authorities,  and  this  custody  continued  to  be  exercised  without 
question  until  1903.  They  were  not  always  given  the  consideration 
to  which  they  were  entitled  by  their  value.  This  was  due  partly  to 
lack  of  interest,  but  largely  to  lack  of  facilities  or  of  funds  for  pro- 
curing facilities  for  their  preservation. 

In  the  early  days  these  documents  were  stored  in  the  government 
building  known  as  the  "  Old  Palace "  in  receptacles  which  were 
entirely  inadequate.  They  were  left  scattered  about  the  rooms,  upon 
open  shelves,  or  on  the  floor.  We  have  already  seen  the  fate  of  many 
of  them  in  the  period  following  the  Civil  War.  There  is  no  ques- 
tion that  many  of  the  more  important  papers  relating  to,  or  bear- 
ing directly  on,  the  question  of  land  titles  in  the  Territory  were 
borrowed  from  the  general  stock  and  were  not  returned.  Many 
documents  of  the  latter  kind  may  undoubtedly  be  found  at  this  time 
among  the  papers  of  private  individuals  who  have  had,  at  one  time 
or  another,  actions  at  law  relative  to  land-grant  titles  in  the  Terri- 
tory. On  February  4,  1854,  the  Legislature  of  New  Mexico  adopted 
a  memorial  to  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  reciting  that  the 
archives  of  the  Territory  were  in  a  ruined  condition,  documents  of 
great  importance  being  much  exposed  and  in  danger  of  being  de- 
stroyed, and  the  Territory  being  without  the  means  to  pay  for  their 
arrangement  and  preservation  in  a  manner  that  would  secure  their 
permanency.  In  view  of  this  situation,  the  memorial  asked  Congress 
to  appropriate  $15,000  for  said  purpose  and  for  translating.  Con- 
gress paid  no  attention  to  the  request,  and  the  archives  remained  as 
they  were. 

The  only  attempt  ever  made  by  the  Territorial  legislature  to  pro- 
vide for  the  proper  care  and  custody  of  these  records  is  found  in  the 
provision  of  chapter  61  of  the  laws  of  1893,  under  which  an  appro- 
priation of  $600  was  made  available  for  the  purpose  of  cataloguing, 
numbering,  translating,  and  indexing  these  archives. 

A  contract  with  this  end  in  view  was  let  by  the  governor,  and  work 
under  it  was  begun.  But  no  one  at  all  familiar  with  the  character 
and  volume  of  these  records  will  need  to  be  told  that  this  meager 
appropriation  was  wholly  inadequate  for  the  work  to  be  done,  and 
that  as  a  matter  of  necessity  no  permanent  results  were  attained 
under  this  contract. 

After  the  completion  of  the  present  Territorial  capitol  in  1900  and 
the  removal  of  the  Territorial  offices  from  the  "  Old  Palace  "  to  the 
capitol  building  these  old  documents  were  transferred  to  the  office  of 
the  Territorial  secretary  and  stored  in  the  vault  adjoining  the  office. 
Here  they  were  arranged,  roughly,  in  the  order  of  their  dates,  were

tied  in  packages,  and  stored  as  carefully  as  was  possible  on  the 
shelving  in  a  vault  available  for  that  purpose.  In  1901,  however,  it 
was  clearly  seen  that  these  documents,  which  occupied  nearly  all  the 
shelf  space  on  one  side  of  the  vault,  would  have  to  be  removed  in 
order  to  make  room  for  the  current  records  of  the  office,  the  volume 
of  which  was  constantly  and  rapidly  increasing. 

About  this  time  correspondence  was  being  received  from  the  au- 
thorities at  Washington,  particularly  from  the  Librarian  of  Congress, 
asking  that  these  Spanish  and  Mexican  archives  be  transferred  to 
the  Library  of  Congress  at  Washington,  where  they  would  be  stored 
in  a  manner  absolutely  safe,  also  classified,  indexed,  and  trans- 
lated by  persons  trained  in  this  line  of  work,  and  without  expense 
to  the  Territory.  Recommendations  to  this  effect  were  made  by  the 
secretary  of  the  Territory  in  1899,  1901,  and  1903 ;  and  the  governor 
in  his  message  to  the  legislative  assembly  called  the  attention  of 
that  body  to  the  circumstances  on  at  least  one  occasion.  No  action 
of  any  kind  was  taken  or  even  considered  until  1903.  During  the 
session  of  that  year  the  Librarian  of  Congress,  was  a  visitor  in 
Santa  Fe,  in  the  month  of  February,  and  discussed  the  matter  with 
the  members  of  the  legislature  and  the  Territorial  officials.  The 
result  of  this  discussion  was  the  drafting  of  an  act  which  provided 
for  the  transfer  of  these  documents  to  the  Library  of  Congress, 
which,  through  the  Librarian,  entered  into  certain  stipulations,  as  to 
the  preservation,  classification,  and  indexing  of  the  documents  free 
of  charge  to  the  Territory.  Through  the  intervention  of  certain 
persons  this  act  was  amended  after  its  introduction  so  as  to  stipulate 
that  all  of  the  archives  found  to  relate  to  land  titles  or  to  local  and 
personal  matter,  and  not  of  great  historic  interest^  should  be  returned 
within  one  year,  and  that  all  the  remainder  of  said  archives,  upon 
being  properly  analyzed  and  classified,  should  within  five  years  of 
their  reception  at  Washington  be  returned  to  New  Mexico.  The  re- 
sult was  that  when  the  act  was  finally  passed,  as  amended,  the  au- 
thorities at  Washington  refused  to  enter  into  the  stipulations  as  pro- 
vided for  in  said  act  (chap.  102,  laws  of  1903). 

The  negotiations  of  the  Library  of  Congress  had  failed  to  secure 
the  records;  but  the  incident  was  not  closed.  The  authorities  at 
Washington  held  that  these  archives  were,  and  always  had  been,  sub- 
ject to  the  control  and  supervision  of  the  Federal  Government.  Act- 
ing on  this  assumption,  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior,  April  29,  1903, 
directed  the  governor  of  New  Mexico  to  forward  the  archives  to  the 
Interior  Department.  They  were  accordingly  expressed  from  Santa 
Fe  to  the  department  May  9,  1903.  Here  they  were  immediately 
turned  over  to  the  Library  of  Congress,  and  were  held  to  be  the  prop- 
erty of  the  United  States  Government,  the  control  of  them  in  the 
Secretary  of  the  Interior. 


ARCHIVES   OF   NEW  MEXICO.  473 

The  authority  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  to  turn  these  records 
over  to  the  Library  of  Congress  was  alleged  to  be  found  in  the  fol- 
lowing act  of  Congress,  approved  February  25,  1903 : 

The  head  of  any  executive  department  or  bureau  or  any  commission  of  the 
Government  is  hereby  authorized,  from  time  to  time,  to  turn  over  to  the 
Librarian  of  Congress,  for  the  use  of  the  Library  of  Congress,  any  books,  maps, 
or  other  material  in  the  library  of  the  department,  bureau,  or  commission  no 
longer  needed  for  its  use,  and  in  the  judgment  of  the  Librarian  of  Congress 
appropriate  to  the  uses  of  the  Library  of  Congress. 

Turning  from  the  history  of  this  great  collection  of  archives  to  its 
contents  and  present  condition,  the  following  tentative  account  must 
suffice : 

1.  They  are  stored  in  the  Manuscripts  Division  of  the  Library  of 
Congress. 

2.  Quantity  of  material,  approximately:  20,000  documents,  10,000 
in  manuscript,  containing  from  1  to  200  folios  each,  and  10,000 
printed,  mostly  of  1  to  4  folios. 

3.  Dates  covered:  From  1621  to  1847  chiefly;  some  miscellaneous 
undated  material  and  papers  relating  to  Indian  depredations, 
1860-1873. 

4.  Subjects:  Indian  affairs;  reconquest  of  New  Mexico,  1681  f. ; 
military  records ;  civil  and  criminal  cases ;  ecclesiastical  affairs ;  civil 
administration;  local  government;  economic  conditions;  govern- 
mental projects  for  advancing  material  progress;  introduction  of 
vaccination ;  schemes  to  prevent  Anglo-American  encroachments ;  and 
kindred  subjects. 

The  printed  material  consists,  for  the  most  part,  of  royal  cedulas, 
decrees,  viceregal  proclamations,  decrees  and  proclamations  from  the 
comandante  general  of  the  Provincias  Intemas  del  Norte. 

5.  Present  condition:  All  the  material  has  been  arranged  chrono- 
logically, the  sheets  being  cleaned,  pressed  free  of  creases,  and  stored 
flat ;  the  manuscripts  are  in  180  half -leather  portfolios ;  the  printed 
material  has  been,  in  part,  repaired,  mounted,  and  bound  in  half- 
morocco  folio  volumes;  the  unmounted  part  is  stored  flat  in  manila 
jackets. 

6.  Work:  A  calendar,  in  English,  is  in  process  of  preparation, 
with  an  index  of  the  more  important  names  and  topics  treated;  it 
has  been  brought  down  to  the  year  1805.  The  catalogue  prepared 
some  years  ago  by  Mr.  Adolphe  Bandelier  was  nearly  all  lost  before 
the  papers  passed  into  possession  of  the  Library,  but  the  small  part 
preserved  is  typewritten.  The  entries  are  briefer  than  those  in  the 
calendar  now  in  progress.    It  is  not  indexed,  and  is  partly  in  Spanish. 

This  brief  summary  shows  the  enormous  importance  of  the  New 
Mexico  archives  in  the  Library  of  Congress.  Here  are  stored  away 
the  sources  for  two  and  a  half  centuries  of  the  Territory's  history. 


474  AMEBIC  AN   HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

To  it  everyone  who  would  fully  understand  her  history  prior  to  the 
American  occupation  must  go.  There  is  no  body  of  documents  any- 
where in  the  Territory  that  can  be  compared  with  it  in  comprehen- 
siveness or  importance. 

ARCHIVES  OF  THE  HISTORICAL  SOCIETY  OF  NEW  MEXICO. 

The  Historical  Society  of  New  Mexico  is  the  only  institution  in  the 
Territory  that  is  making  any  comprehensive  effort  to  collect  and  pre- 
serve the  scattered  records  and  historical  archives  relating  to  the  his- 
tory of  this  portion  of  the  Southwest.  The  society's  usefulness  is 
curtailed  by  shortness  of  funds ;  yet  with  the  small  means  at  its  dis- 
posal, it  has  gone  on  modestly  rendering  a  great  service  to  the  cause 
of  historical  scholarship.  A  few  of  the  documents  and  collections  of 
documents  in  its  archives  should  be  mentioned  at  this  point : 

1.  A  copy  of  the  funeral  oration  preached  in  the  cathedral  of  the 
City  of  Mexico,  March  20,  1681,  on  the  death  of  the  21  Franciscan 
friars  killed  by  the  Pueblo  Indians  in  the  revolt  known  as  the  Pueblo 
Eebellion  of  1680.  The  copy  was  secured  in  Santiago  de  Chile,  and 
a  translation  into  English  was  published  by  the  society  in  1906,  under 
the  title,  "  The  Franciscan  Martyrs  of  1680,"  being  No.  7  of  the  pub- 
lications of  the  society.  The  transcendent  importance  of  this  sermon 
is  due  to  the  fact  that  it  is  a  contemporary  account  of  the  revolt,  by 
members  of  the  Franciscan  Order,  and  sets  at  rest  any  doubts  that 
may  have  existed  as  to  the  causes  of  that  famous  revolution,  showing 
that  they  were  chiefly  religious. 

2.  The  Mogollon  collection.  A  collection  of  historical  documents 
of  the  time  of  Gov.  Juan  Ignacio  Flores  Mogollon,  1712-1715.  This 
collection  is  thought  to  contain  a  portion  of  the  archives  sold  in  the 
time  of  Gov.  Pile  or  otherwise  taken  from  the  palace  years  ago. 

3.  Eecords  of  the  northern  jurisdiction  during  the  period  of  the 
Mexican  Republic,  being  most  of  the  documents  officially  filed  in 
that  jurisdiction,  and  hence  a  storehouse  of  material  for  the  history 
of  the  government  under  Mexican  administration. 

4.  The  Vigil  collection.  Donaciano  Vigil  was  the  first  secretary  of 
New  Mexico  under  American  rule,  being  appointed  by  Gen.  Kearny, 
September,  1846.  After  the  murder  of  Gov.  Charles  Bent  in  Jan- 
uary, 1847,  he  became  acting  governor  until  1848.  He  was  a  man 
who  carefully  preserved  all  papers  and  correspondence  that  came 
into  his  hands.     This  collection  contains : 

(1)  The  original  proclamation  issued  by  Gov.  Manuel  Armijo  as 
he  left  Santa  Fe  to  meet  the  American  invaders,  signed  by  the  gov- 
ernor's own  hand. 

(2)  Copy  of  letter  sent  by  Acting  Gov.  Vigil  y  Alarid,  August  18, 
1846,  to  Gen.  Kearny,  then  but  a  few  miles  from  the  city,  stating  the 


ARCHIVES   OF   NEW   MEXICO.  475 

fears  and  excitement  of  the  people,  and  asking  that  special  considera- 
tion be  shown  by  troops  in  order  to  allay  this  feeling. 

(3)  Original  proclamation  of  Gen.  Kearny  on  taking  possession 
of  Santa  Fe  on  the  morning  of  August  19,  1846. 

(4)  Original  draft  of  Acting  Gov.  Vigil  y  Alarid's  reply  to  Kearny's 
proclamation,  accepting  the  sovereignty  of  the  United  States,  and 
pledging  the  loyalty  of  the  people  to  the  American  Government. 

(5)  Many  documents  concerning  the  New  Mexican  revolt  of  1846^7, 
including  the  proclamation  issued  by  Gov.  Charles  Bent  when  he 
was  leaving  Santa  Fe  on  his  fatal  journey  to  Taos,  January,  1847. 

(6)  A  large  collection  of  Vigil's  correspondence  with  leading  men 
in  New  Mexico  during  the  first  years  of  the  American  occupation, 
giving  an  inside  view  of  the  sentiment  of  the  people  in  that  critical 
period. 

(7)  A  number  of  specimens  of  the  earliest  printing  and  first  news- 
papers of  New  Mexico. 

The  value  of  this  collection  for  the  history  of  the  period  of  the 
American  occupation  needs  no  comment. 

5.  Collection  of  old  maps.  A  large  and  priceless  collection  of  rare, 
ancient  maps  of  America,  particularly  those  relating  to  the  South- 
west. Their  number  forbids  enumeration  in  the  space  at  my  dis- 
posal. 

6.  Collection  of  photographs  and  historic  articles.  The  photo- 
graphs are  largely  of  men  who  have  been  prominent  in  political  and 
military  affairs  in  the  Territory  during  the  past  century.  The  col- 
lection of  historic  articles  is  really  a  great  museum  of  southwestern 
history  and  archaeology  from  prehistoric  times  to  the  beginning  of 
the  twentieth  century. 

TERRITORIAL  ARCHIVES   IN   SANTA  FE. 

The  archives  at  the  territorial  capital  are  all  of  comparatively  re- 
cent date,  practically  none  of  them  going  back  of  1850.  Many  of 
them  are  complete  and  well  cared  for;  others  have  been  badly 
neglected.  These  matters  will  be  pointed  out  more  specifically  in 
connection  with  records  of  each  department. 

THE   governor's    OFFICE. 

This  is  not  really  a  record  office,  the  executive  records  being  kept 
by  the  territorial  secretary.  There  is,  however,  to  be  expected  of  it 
the  one  item  of  official  correspondence.  In  the  vault  we  find  the 
following : 

Official  letters  received  (general),  1897-1908,  54  volumes. 
Official  letters  received  (statehood),  1  volume. 


476  AMERICAN   HISTORICAL,  ASSOCIATION. 

Official  letters  received  (from  departments  at  Washington),  1897-1908,  6 
volumes. 

Governor's  official  letter  book,  June,  1901-1908,  volumes  11-28,  inclusive. 
Prior  to  1901  each  governor  carried  away  his  letter  books  at  the  close  of  his 
term. 

The  letters  received  are  in  filing  cases,  each  case  numbered  as  a 
volume.  None  of  them  date  back  of  1897 — a  fact  which  is  to  be 
greatly  regretted,  as  is  also  the  destruction  of  the  letter  books  prior 
to  1901. 

OFFICE  OF  THE  SECRETARY  OF  THE  TERRITORY. 

This  office  is  properly  the  executive  record  office  of  the  Territory. 
Its  records  are  all  stored  in  a  large  fire-proof  vault  adjoining,  and 
are  well  arranged  and  cared  for.     It  contains  the  following : 

Executive  records  of  New  Mexico: 

Volume  I,  March  13,  1853,  to  January  14,  1867. 
Volume  II,  July  25,  1867,  to  November  8,  1882. 
Volume  III,  November  8,  1882,  to  December  30,  1890. 
Volume  IV,  January  5,  1891,  to  June  29,  1898. 
Volume  V,  July  1,  1898,  to  June  29,  1903. 
Volume  VI,  July  1,  1903,  to  August  7,  1907. 
Volume  VII,  August  8,  1907,  to  date. 

The  contents  of  the  executive  records  may  be  indicated  by  the  fol- 
lowing list  of  documents  and  subjects  covered:  Proclamations  of 
governors,  commissions  to  officers,  oaths  of  office,  Indians,  courts, 
officers  of  legislative  assemblies,  pardons,  reprieves,  commutations, 
official  communications  of  secretary  of  the  Territory,  elections,  proc- 
lamations of  Presidents  announcing  the  appointment  of  governors 
and  other  officers,  oaths  of  office  administered  by  Chief  Justices  of 
the  United  States  Supreme  Court  to  governors  of  the  Territory,  mes- 
sages of  governors  to  the  legislative  assemblies,  military  orders  of  the 
adjutant  general,  governor's  approval  of  legislative  acts,  articles  of 
incorporation  for  the  various  corporations  doing  business  in  the  Ter- 
ritory, etc.  Volume  I  calls  for  special  mention  because  of  the  fact 
that  during  the  first  few  years  of  the  period  which  it  covers  the  record 
is  made  sometimes  in  Spanish  and  sometimes  in  English.  This  vol- 
ume contains  Gov.  Calhoun's  proclamation  of  August  8,  1851,  calling 
an  election  for  the  first  Monday  in  September  to  elect  a  Delegate  to 
Congress.  It  also  contains  the  governor's  certificate  of  election,  Sep- 
tember 10, 1851,  to  Richard  H.  Weightman,  first  Delegate  in  Congress 
from  the  Territory  of  New  Mexico.  This  set  of  executive  records  is 
by  all  odds  the  most  important  single  set  in  existence  for  the  history 
of  the  Territory  since  the  beginning  of  American  Government. 

Record  of  official  bonds : 

Volume  A,  February  25,  1893,  to  July  1,  1907. 
Volume  B,  July  1,  1907,  to  date.

the  journals  of  more  than  one  session,  notably  volumes  1-7  and  9.    Volumes 
2  and  3  are  badly  confused,  volume  2  having  records  in  it  for  1857-1862,  and 
volume  3  for  1856-1859. 
House  journals,  1851-1909,  except  for  the  session  of  1873  and  for  the  period

This  brief  catalogue  of  the  records  of  the  secretary  of  the  Terri- 
tory's office  makes  it  clear  (1)  that  it  is  an  extremely  important  office 
for  historical  research;  (2)  that  during  the  first  40  years  of  govern- 
ment as  an  American  Territory  N"ew  Mexico's  official  records,  docu- 
ments, and  letters  were  attended  to  with  too  little  care  for  their  sys- 
tematic preservation;  and  (3)  that  during  recent  years  the  office  is 
under  business  administration,  and  the  archives  are  being  cared  for 
accordingly.

This  office  was  created  in  1898.  Its  records  are  therefore  all  of

OFFICE   OF   THE   TERRITORIAL  SUPERINTENDENT   OF  PUBLIC   INSTRUCTION. 

This  office  was  created,  along  with  the  public  school  system,  in 
1891,  and  its  records  are  indispensable  for  the  history  of  public  edu- 
cation in  the  Territory. 

Annual  report  of  the  superintendent  of  public  instruction,  1892-1908,  17  vol- 
umes.    (The  reports  for  1893,  1894,  1895,  1897,  and  1902  are  missing.)

The  rapid  increase  in  the  A^olume  of  the  letter  book  of  the  super-

TERRITORIAL  LAW  LIBRARY. 

Much  material  of  historical  significance  is  preserved  in  this  library. 
That  which  seems  of  most  importance  is  listed  below. 

Session  laws  of  New  Mexico,  1851-1909,  49  volumes. 

The  laws  of  New  Mexico  for  1851,  the  first  session  of  the  Territorial  legislature, 

and  the  famous  "  Kearney  code  "  are  published  in  one  volume,  in  both  Spanish 

and  English.     Most  of  the  session  laws  are  printed  in  both  languages,  Spanish 

facing  English  on  successive  pages. 
Revised  statutes  of  New  Mexico,  1855,  1  volume. 
Revised  statutes  and  laws  of  New  Mexico,  1865    (English  and   Spanish),  1 

volume. 
Compiled  laws  of  New  Mexico,  1884  (English  and  Spanish),  1  volume. 
Local  and  special  laws  of  New  Mexico,  1884  (English  and  Spanish),  1  volume.

Compiled  laws  of  New  Mexico,  1909,  in  preparation. 

COUNTY  ARCHIVES. 

I  have  examined  the  records  in  five  of  the  oldest  counties  of  the 
Territory,  being  guided  in  my  selection  chiefly  by  the  location  of 
the  county  seat.  The  counties  are  as  follows,  county  seats  in  paren- 
theses :  Santa  Fe  (Santa  Fe) ,  Bernalillo  (Albuquerque) ,  Taos  (Taos) , 
San  Miguel  (Las  Yegas),  Mora  (Mora).  The  records  in  these  coun- 
ties did  not  prove  to  be  of  as  great  importance  as  had  been  expected, 
owing  to  the  fact  they  contain  very  little  material  dating  back  of  the 
American  occupation,  and  what  there  is  is  so  scattered  through  vol- 
umes of  other  documents  as  to  be  found  only  after  long  and  detailed 
search.  In  almost  every  case  the  first  volumes  of  records  are  store- 
houses of  documents  of  every  kind,  all  put  in  together.  The  time 
at  my  command  did  not  permit  an  extended  investigation  of  these 
volumes. 

The  probate  clerk  is  ordinarily  ex  officio  recorder  of  the  county, 
and  his  office  is  therefore  the  chief,  sometimes  the  only,  record  office. 

SANTA  FE  COUNTY. 

(Couny  seat,  Santa  Fe.) 

The  records  are  kept  in  a  fireproof  vault  adjoining  the  probate 
clerk's  office. 

The  first  and  most  interesting  of  all  the  records  here  is  a  volume 
marked  "Libranzas  1847  a  1851"  (drafts  from  1847  to  1851),  which 
contains  on  its  first  13  pages  the  court  record  of  the  famous  Trujillo 
treason  trial,  which  grew  out  of  the  native  revolt  in  the  winter  of 
1846^7.  The  grand  jury  returned  true  bills  against  Antonio  Maria 
Trujillo,  Trinidad  Barcilo,  Antolion  Archuleta,  and  Pedro  Vigil  for 
treason  against  the  United  States.  During  the  sessions  of  the  court, 
March  8  to  May  3,  1847,  all  were  brought  up  and  dismissed,  noli

prosequi,  except  Trujillo,  who  was  later  tried,  convicted,  and  sen- 
tenced, March  15,  to  hang  on  Friday,  April  16,  at  2  o'clock  p.  m.  He 
was  pardoned  later. 

There  is  also  another  book,  marked  "  Kecords  of  the  United  States 
district  court  at  Santa  Fe,  1847-1853,"  which  contains  an  account  of 
this  same  trial. 

Other  records  are  as  follows : 

Record  of  licenses  for  merchants,  dram  shops,  balls,  etc.,  1848-1881,  7  volumes. 
The  record  includes  fees  for  same. 

Record  of  mortgage  deeds,  1866-1908,  14  volumes.  The  early  volumes  contain 
chattel  mortgages  also. 

Record  of  chattel  mortgages,  1876-1908,  5  volumes. 

Records  of  wills  and  testaments,  letters  of  administration  and  guardianship, 
bonds  of  administrators  and  guardians,  and  testimony  and  depositions  con- 
cerning the  same,  1851  to  date,  16  volumes  (badly  confused).

in  existence  are  greatly  confused.    During  the  native  uprising  against

Register  of  vouchers  approved  by  county  commissioners,  1903-1909,  1  volume. 

Tax  rolls,  1874-1909,  72  volumes. 

This  catalogue  of  records  in  five  counties  is  sufficient  to  show  their 
importance  for  the  period  following  1850.  Many  of  the  records  are 
more  important  than  can  be  indicated  in  a  brief  report  like  the  pres- 
ent one.  This  is  especially  true  of  the  large  mass  of  deed  records. 
Scattered  through  them  here  and  there,  with  probability  favoring 
the  early  volumes,  are  to  be  found  many  old  Spanish  and  Mexican 
grants  dating  far  back  of  the  American  period.  They  have  been 
brought  in  and  recorded  from  time  to  time.  The  student  who  would 
examine  them  must  search  them  out  in  volume  after  volume  of  later 
records.  They  are,  of  course,  all  in  Spanish.  This  is  likewise  true 
of  most  of  the  early  records  under  the  territorial  government,  and 
Spanish  documents  of  various  kinds  are  scattered  through  the  records 
down  to  recent  times.  The  student,  without  a  command  of  both 
languages,  finds  himself  surrounded  with  hidden  secrets. 

ARCHIVES  or  THE  CHURCH. 

Servants  of  the  Catholic  Church  have  been  in  New  Mexico  as  long 
as  Spanish  people  have  lived  here.  They  came  with  the  discoverers 
and  explorers,  and  they  have  been  with  every  other  band.    The

churchman,  however,  is  so  much  interested  in  the  past  and  future 
that  he  fails  to  leave  very  full  chronicles  of  what  is  going  on  around 
him.  The  records  of  the  church,  with  all  their  great  age,  are  not 
therefore  very  satisfactory  documents  for  the  student  of  history,  but 
still  they  are  indispensable.  Their  greatest  service  in  New  Mexico  is 
in  settling  questions  of  dates  and  genealogy.  Registers  of  births, 
deaths,  marriages,  and  especially  baptisms,  have  been  kept  in  some 
places  from  the  date  of  settlement  to  the  present  time.  As  the  oldest 
and  most  important  collections  are  in  the  churches  of  the  Rio  Grande 
Valley,  I  have,  with  one  exception,  confined  my  researches  to  that 
region.  The  Mora  country  was  brought  into  great  prominence  by 
events  just  following  the  American  occupation  of  the  Territory.  Its 
church  records  have  therefore  been  included  with  those  of  the  more 
important  Rio  Grande  settlements  of  Albuquerque,  Santa  Fe,  Taos, 
San  Juan,  and  Santa  Cruz. 

ARCHIVES   OF    SAN   FELIPE   CHURCH,   ALBUQUERQUE. 

Baptismal  record,  June  21,  1706-1908,  18  volumes.  No  entry  for  1772-1776.

Before  1850  the  volumes  are  numbered  in  order,  B,  Z,  Y,  R,  P,  Q,  S,  T,  A. 
Births  and  baptisms  in  same  book.

These  include  all  of  such  documents  as  pertained  to  the  church  or  could  be 
secured  by  the  priests  in  charge. 

First  book  of  Cordilleras,  1818-1851.  A  collection  of  decrees  of  bishops,  gov- 
ernors, etc.,  much  like  those  in  the  preceding  entry. 

Collection  of  papers  concerning  various  fees  of  the  church  (about  1812).  The 
following  are  of  interest: 

Burial  of  mulattoes  and  free  negroes  (high  mass),  $8. 
Burial  of  child  of  Spanish  parents  (high  mass),  $8. 
Burial  of  child  of  negro  parents  (high  mass),  $5. 

Small  collection  of  papers  relating  to  the  chapel  at  Alameda,  San  Antonio,  and 
Manzano    (1820). 

Small  collection  of  papers  relating  to  patronal  feasts  (about  1820).

troubles  from  returning  in  time  of  peace  and  reoccupying  them,  1837.

Estadlsticas  de  los  pueblos  de  Indios  de  Nueva  Mexico  por  el  ano  de  1794. 
(Statistics  of  the  Indian  pueblos  of  New  Mexico  for  the  year  1794).  A  very 
old  and  well-preserved  manuscript. 

Private  letters  of  bishops  and  priests  for  granting  faculties  (various  dates). 

Libro  de  f^brica  y  inventarias,  1818-1861.  This  includes  detailed  statements  of 
the  general  accounts  and  property  of  the  church  during  the  period  covered. 

Dilig^ncias  matrimoniales,  about  5(X)  in  number.  These  "  Matrimonial  ar- 
rangements "  begin  in  1736,  but  there  is  only  one  here  and  there  for  several 
years.    They  begin  regularly  in  1768  and  continue  until  after  the  American

occupation.  A  few  are  missing.  Tliese  singularly  interesting  documents 
contain,  for  each  marriage,  statements  by  both  of  the  contracting  parties, 
and  by  the  parents  of  each,  concerning  the  age,  character,  social  position, 
property,  etc.,  of  the  prospective  bride  and  groom.  All  this  was  a  cere- 
mony under  the  auspices  of  the  church,  and  records  of  the  proceedings  were 
left  with  the  priest. 

Enough  evidence  has  been  presented  here  to  show  that  the  church 
archives  at  Albuquerque  are  not  only  of  great  importance,  but  that 
they  are  probably  the  most  important  in  New  Mexico.

CONCLUSION. 

Before  closing  this  report  I  wish  to  direct  attention  to  some  gen- 
eral conditions  which  have  come  to  my  notice  during  these  investiga- 
tions, some  of  which  have  already  come  out  in  the  body  of  the  report. 

1.  In  almost  every  group  of  archives  the  records  for  certain  data 
or  period  have  been  reported  as  "  missing,"  or,  sometimes  that  there  is 
"no  record,"  which  in  most  cases  means  the  same  thing.  There  is, 
however,  evidence  in  some  of  these  cases  tending  to  show  that  there 
never  was  any  record.  But  what  became  of  those  that  have  disap- 
peared? They  have  gone  in  many  ways.  It  seems  highly  probable 
that  the  larger  part  of  them  have  been  carried  away  by  curio  hunters 
both  from  within  and  without  the  Territory.  I  am  reliably  informed 
that  scholars  have  in  some  cases  secured  access  to  groups  of  these  old 
records,  and  that  after  their  departure  old  manuscripts  were  miss- 
ing which  had  been  there  for  generations  before.  Such  abuse  of  con- 
lidence  as  this  has  made  the  church  records  almost  inaccessible,  and 
except  under  the  eye  of  a  keeper,  absolutely  so.  My  letters  of  intro- 
duction from  the  chairman  of  the  public  archives  commission  and  a 


ARCHIVES  OF   NEW  MEXICO.  489 

few  influential  citizens  of  the  Territory  gained  me  access  to  the  ordi- 
nary archives  everywhere  that  I  desired  it,  with  one  exception.  One 
priest,  who  would  not  allow  me  to  enter  his  archives  room,  was 
gracious  enough  to  go  through  the  records  for  me  and  furnish  a 
complete  written  statement  of  their  contents.  This  is  strong  evidence 
of  the  fear  of  having  some  document  carried  away  by  anyone  who 
gets  a  chance. 

2.  In  all  the  archives.  Territorial,  county,  and  church,  more  or  less 
confusion  is  apparent  in  the  early  records.  It  is  not  uncommon  to 
find  two  or  even  three  volumes  of  the  same  record  for  the  same  years. 
For  example,  one  for  1847-1860,  a  second  for  1850-1858,  and  perhaps 
even  a  third  for  1854^1859.  This  simply  indicates  the  carelessness 
and  complete  lack  of  system  which  prevailed  in  early  days,  and  which 
has  found  its  way  down  to  very  recent  times. 

3.  I  should  regret,  however,  if  anything  that  I  have  said  should  be 
construed  as  reflecting  on  the  present  Territorial  officials  or  recorders 
in  the  various  counties  visited.  For  there  is  every  evidence  that 
during  the  last  decade  or  two  they  have  been  performing  their  duties 
faithfully.  The  archives  are  in  fireproof  vaults,  and,  except  in  a  few 
counties,  are  in  steel  cases.  It  is  very  much  to  be  regretted  that  none 
of  the  church  archives  are  in  any  place  of  safe-keeping.  Even  a 
small  safe  would  be  some  protection  from  fire.  But  there  are  none. 
And  these  priceless  records  lie  unprotected  except  by  the  jealous  care 
of  their  keepers. 

4.  The  prevalence  of  the  Spanish  language  in  every  kind  of  archives 
is  especially  noticeable.  In  the  church  archives  it  is  used  down  to 
the  present  time  to  the  practical  exclusion  of  English.  This,  how- 
ever, would  be  expected  in  view  of  the  fact  that  probably  95  per  cent 
of  the  Catholics  in  the  Territory  are  Spanish-speaking  people.  The 
county  archives  furnish  a  greater  variety.  In  general,  it  may  be  said 
that  during  the  last  15  or  20  years  they  are  in  English,  and  that  prior 
to  that  time  they  are  in  Spanish.  Almost  every  set  of  records,  how- 
ever, furnishes  exceptions  to  the  rule.  It  is  not  uncommon  to  take  up 
a  volume  of  records  dating  back  to  1850,  or  even  earlier,  and  find 
numerous  entries  in  English.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  easy  to  find 
twentieth  century  records  with  little  or  no  English  in  them.  The 
statements  made  here  concerning  the  county  archives  are  almost 
equally  true  of  the  Territorial  archives  in  the  various  departments  at 
Santa  Fe.  This  difference  is  the  most  conspicuous:  Records  in  the 
departmental  offices  for  recent  years  are  exclusively  in  English. 
This  condition  is  of  special  importance  to  the  student  of  even  the 
most  recent  periods,  since  he  must  have  a  good  command  of  Spanish 
in  order  to  use  records  which  are  chiefly  English.  Otherwise  he  may 
find  himself  checked  at  any  time  by  coming  upon  a  group  of  Spanish 
entries.

5.  In  view  of  the  mixture  of  languages,  I  have  in  this  report  listed 
almost  everything  with  the  proper  English  title,  unless  it  is  to  be 
found  under  some  specific  Spanish  caption.  In  the  latter  case  I  have 
ordinarily  given  the  Spanish  title,  with  English  translation  when 
there  was  an  exact  English  equivalent. 

6.  There  is  in  New  Mexico  a  rich  mass  of  documentary  material  in 
the  hands  of  private  individuals  who  are  descended  from  early 
Spanish  and  English  settlers.  This  should  be  exploited  at  an  early 
date.  It  could  not  be  touched  upon  in  this  report  for  want  of  time 
and  money,  and  because  the  report  concerns  itself  only  with  official 
or  semiofficial  archives.

PREFACE, 


The  need  of  an  annual  bibliography  in  which  shall  be  registered  all 
books  and  articles,  of  any  value  and  importance,  relating  to  Ameri- 
can history  and  published  in  a  given  year,  is  one  that  has  been 
acutely  felt  by  many  investigators.  Early  in  the  history  of  the 
American  Historical  Association  some  attempts  were  made  to  satisfy 
this  desire.  A  bibUography  of  the  writings  of  the  members  of  the 
association  for  the  year  1890,  prepared  by  Mr.  Paul  Leicester  Ford, 
appeared  in  the  annual  report  for  that  year.  Bibhographies  of 
similar  scope  for  the  years  1891  and  1892,  prepared  by  Mr.  A.  Howard 
Clark,  appeared  in  the  annual  reports  for  the  next  two  years,  while 
that  for  1893  contained  a  Hst  of  contributions  toward  a  bibliography  of 
American  history  for  the  years  1888  to  1892,  by  Prof.  John  Martin 
Vincent. 

Ten  years  later  a  more  comprehensive  list  in  the  form  of  a  volume 
of  294  pages  entitled  '^Writings  on  American  History,  1902  (Prince- 
ton, 1904),"  was  made  by  Prof.  Ernest  C.  Richardson,  Hbrarian  of 
Princeton  University,  and  Mr.  Anson  Ely  Morse.  A  volume  of  a 
somewhat  different  plan,  Writings  on  American  History,  1903,  pre- 
pared by  Prof.  Andrew  C.  McLaughlin,  Mr.  William  A.  Slade,  and 
Mr.  Ernest  D.  Lewis,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Carnegie  Institution 
of  Washington,  was  pubUshed  by  that  institution  (Washington,  1905, 
pp.  172).  After  an  interval  followed  the  series.  Writings  on  Ameri- 
can History,  1906,  1907,  and  1908,  prepared  by  Miss  Grace  Gardner 
Griffin  and  pubhshed  by  the  Macmillan  Co.  (New  York,  1908,  1909, 
1910,  pp.  186,  162,  174).  From  the  beginning  of  this  new  series 
the  enterprise  was  sustained  by  a  group  of  subscribers  consisting 
of  the  American  Historical  Association,  the  Buffalo  Historical  So- 
ciety, the  Chicago  Historical  Society,  the  Colonial  Society  of  Massachu- 
setts, the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  the  Missouri  Historical 
Society,  the  New  York  Historical  Society,  the  Oregon  Historical  So- 
ciety, the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  the  Western  Reserve 
Historical  Society,  Mr.  Charles  Francis  Adams,  Hon.  Simeon  E.  Bald- 
win, Mr.  William  K.  Bixby,  Mr.  Clarence  M.  Burton,  Mr.  Adrian  H. 
Joline,  and  Hon.  George  L.  Rives.  The  preparation  of  the  material 
for  1909,  herewith  presented,  is  due  to  the  continued  aid  afforded  by 

493 


494  AMERICAIT   HISTORICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

the  same  generous  subscribers.  At  this  point,  however,  though  the 
preparation  of  the  material  continues  to  be  provided  for  by  such  a 
subscription,  the  printing  and  pubhcation  of  the  annual  bibhography 
is  assumed  by  the  American  Historical  Association,  and  it  may  be 
expected  that  such  a  list  will  appear  each  year  in  the  annual  report 
of  the  association. 

To  those  who  desire  to  have  complete  sets  of  the  volumes  hitherto 
pubUshed,  it  may  be  useful  to  know  that  the  volume  for  1902  can 
still  be  obtained  from  the  Library  of  Princeton  University,  that  for 
1903  from  the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington,  while  those  for 
1906,  1907,  and  1908  can  be  obtained  from  the  Macmillan  Co.  up  to 
the  end  of  December,  1911.  After  that  date  the  last  three  can  be  ob- 
tained only  from  the  secretary  of  the  American  Historical  Association, 
to  whose  custody  the  stock  will  be  then  transferred. 

The  ensuing  pages  have  been  prepared  upon  the  same  system  as  the 
volumes  for  1906,  1907,  and  1908.  The  intention  of  the  compiler 
has  been  to  include  all  books  and  articles,  however  brief,  which  con- 
tayi  anything  of  value  to  the  history  of  the  United  States  and  of 
British  North  America.  With  respect  to  the  regions  lying  south  of 
the  continental  United  States,  however,  and  to  the  Pacific  islands, 
the  intention  has  been  to  include  all  writings  on  the  history  of  these 
regions  published  in  the  United  States  or  Europe;  but  the  product 
(not  relating  to  the  United  States)  of  South  America  and  other  south- 
ward regions  has  been  left  to  their  own  bibliographers.  New  editions 
of  books,  if  they  contain  no  new  material,  have  not  been  noticed. 
When  no  other  date  of  publication  is  given,  the  date  is  1909.  The 
annotations  have  been  confined  to  explanations  of  titles  which  seem 
to  need  explanation;  to  analyses  of  contents  (in  many  cases  taken 
from  the  catalogue  cards  of  the  Library  of  Congress),  when  analyses 
seemed  requisite;  and  to  mention  of  critical  appraisals  in  a  few 
journals  whose  criticisms  have  value. 

A  topical  arrangement  has  been  followed.  As  a  rule  the  books  and 
articles  in  any  division  are  arranged  alphabetically  by  the  authors' 
names.  In  a  few  cases  another  arrangement  appeared  to  be  more 
helpful;  in  the  case  of  biography  and  genealogy  the  subject  of  the 
book  or  article  determines  the  alphabetical  arrangement.  Attention 
is  called  to  the  special  index,  which  serves  as  an  alphabetical  guide 
to  the  material  here  presented  in  a  methodical  classification,  and 
which  precedes  the  general  index  of  this  volume. 

In  the  compilation  of  the  material,  performed  at  the  Library  of 
Congress,  Miss  Griffm  has  had  most  obliging  assistance  from  Dr. 
Herbert  Putnam,  Librarian  of  Congress,  and  from  Mr.  Appleton  P.  C. 
Grifhn,  Chief  Assistant  Librarian.

The  Diary  begins  soon  after  the  writer's  relinquishment  of  his  publishing  and  printing  business.  Dur- 
ing the  period  it  covers  he  prepared  his  "History  of  printing"  and  took  part  in  numerous  public  meas- 
ures, the  Boston  and  Worcester  turnpike,  the  founding  of  the  Worcester  bank,  the  American  anti- 
quarian society,  among  others.  "It  was  the  time  of  internal  improvements,  and  of  the  awakening 
of  the  manufacturing  and  industrial  interests  of  New  Pingland.  In  many  of  these  Mr.  Tliomas  took 
an  active  part,  and  their  inception  and  development  are  given  in  some  detail."  The  Diary  records  the 
daily  events  of  his  life  in  Worcester  and  of  travels  in  many  directions  from  there.  It  affords  a  picture 
of  the  social  and  political  life  of  New  England.
