[Presbyterianism – Old School-New School Controversy – Foreign Missions] Rice, Reverend John Holt
July 9 1846 Letter from Rev. John Holt Rice to Rev. John Cameron Lowrie Discussing the Presbyterian Church’s Missionary Board Controversy
New Orleans Louisiana 1846. Single letter three 8 x 10 inch pages. Torn at folds some tears repaired with archival tape; hole at location of seal; otherwise very good to excellent. John Holt Rice 1818–1878 was the son of a Presbyterian minister and nephew of Archibald Alexander founding professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary from which Rice graduated in 1845. When he wrote this letter he was working as a city missionary to the poor in New Orleans. Rice would spend his career ministering around the southern United States before his death from yellow fever. His correspondent is John Cameron Lowrie 1808–1900 a Scottish immigrant fellow Princeton graduate and a missionary in Colonial India. When his health became too precarious to remain abroad Lowrie returned to serve with the Board of Foreign Missions.<br /> <br /> The subject of missions boards was part of the Old School-New School controversy and schism in the Presbyterian Church particularly over whether missionary work should be primary the Old School view or secondary the New School view to the Church’s work.1 Those holding the latter view were satisfied with the work of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM which was not a specifically Presbyterian body. Those of the former view believing that the Church’s missionary board ought to be itself Presbyterian formed the Western Foreign Missionary Society. When the Church’s second schism occurred in 1837 the Western society was <br /> renamed the Board of Foreign Missions BFM and headquartered in New York City.<br /> <br /> In this letter Rev. Rice finds himself in the delicate position of being an Old School supporter of the BFM ministering to Congregationalists and New School-raised supporters of the ABCFM. He writes to Rev. Lowrie requesting that copies of the BFM’s monthly Missionary Chronicle be sent to him in a timely manner as this was “a matter of some importance to us who love our own board of foreign missionsâ€:<br /> <br /> “You are probably aware that our churches in this city are composed of very heterogeneous materials many of the members are from New England and were brought up in the congregational church and many were connected with New School churches at the north. This causes no difficulty or division All unite very cordially in support of the Old School church but the sympathies of many are with the American Board of Missions. They know nothing about ours and have some little prejudice against us for our separation. It would be very impudent to argue that question with them now or attempt to convince them that our own board ought to be patronised by those connected with one of our churches rather than the American. But I feel certain that if they knew more of our operations they would take an interest in them.â€<br /> <br /> Rice also notes that he is an editor for the New Orleans Protestant newspaper and suggests that Lowrie send “something now and then†to excite “missionary zealâ€. Of interest to scholars of Presbyterian history especially the 19th-century Old School-New School schism.<br /> <br /> 1 Rev. Dr. Michael Parker “175 Years of Presbyterian World Mission†Presbyterian Historical Society archived November 1 2023 at https://web.archive.org/web/20231101183954/http://www.history.pcusa.org/history-online/topics-note/history-world-mission. unknown

[Sail to Steam] Samuel Read (1796-1863) of Chatham Dockyard and School of Naval Architecture [Admiral Henry John Chetwynd-Talbo
Samuel Read of Chatham Dockyard and the School of Naval Architecture. Autograph Letter Signed 'S: Read' to Viscount Ingestrie attacking in detail Sir Charles Adam's conduct regarding the construction of the wooden steam paddle frigate HMS Gorgon
Chatham. 12 March 1839. A substantial letter 3pp. foolscap 8vo. 100 lines of text. Bifolium. In very good condition on aged paper with one closed along crease line neatly repaired with archival tape. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with Chatham postmark frank and black wax seal to 'Viscount Ingestrie M:P. 2 Wilton Crescent Belgrave Square London'. An interesting document in which a distinguished Victorian naval architect makes detailed criticisms of an innovation in his field. HMS Gorgon was designed by Sir William Symonds and launched in 1837. Her direct-acting engines in which the engine's cylinders are placed under the crankshaft built by Seaward and Company were the first to be fitted in any vessel. She was scrapped in 1864. Read begins his letter: 'My Lord Nothing could exceed my astonishment at the reply or rather <> which Sir C. Adam gave in citing the Gorgon as a specimen of the success of the personal conductor of our Naval Construction. In a lithographic account privately circulated but which the Hampshire Telegraph published; it was stated for what purposes this bad & wretched failure was designed. - She was to be able to carry 10 long 32 Pr. between decks - 4 32 Prs. and 2 10 inch Bomb Cannon on the weather deck - She was to take or be able to take a regiment on board with all its equipage for a colonial voyage across the Atlantic.' He proceeds to describe the 'falling off' from these specifications commenting that 'her constructor had so little knowledge of what he was about that he was deficient in displacement at least 400 tons corresponding to a too great immersion of 3 feet about . When she left Plymouth for her first trip to St. Sebastian she drew 17 ft 3 in aft instead of her intended draft 15.6 and the Ports abaft the Paddle Boxes were only from 3 ft 3 in to 3 ft 6 in above the water!! Of course the Ports were still caulked in.' At the end of this criticism he describes the Gorgon as 'a failure'. He proceeds to 'shew how experiments are got up' concluding 'is this the way that an experiment involving a cost of 40000£ should be conducted - The engines alone of the Gorgon cost 20000£.' He continues 'Would Sir C. Adam produce the lithographic circulars of which the Gorgon was intended for and would he venture to place in contrast with it the actual performance of the ship' He gives more specifications before stating: 'The Constructor of the Gorgon ought to be called upon to explain if he can the early discrepancy between his intentions & performances. He ends by apologising for 'this rough document'. Chatham. 12 March 1839. unknown

[Samuel Read (1796-1863) of Chatham Dockyard and the School of Naval Architecture?; Commander Benjamin Sharpe (d1883), Royal Nav
Informed attack on the design of HMS Gorgon 1837. Long Manuscript Letter lacking signature addressed to Benjamin Sharpe of the Royal Navy containing detailed criticism and informed criticism following an inspection of the ship.
Devonport. 13 April 1839. HMS Gorgon was designed by Sir William Symonds and launched in 1837. Her direct-acting engines in which the engine's cylinders are placed under the crankshaft built by Seaward and Company were the first to be fitted in any vessel. She was scrapped in 1864. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and worn but with the signature torn away. Addressed with seal in black wax to 'Benjamin Sharpe Esq 19 Fleet Street London' Sharpe's father had been resident partner at that address in the banking firm of Gosling & Sharpe. The first paragraph reads: 'Dear Sharpe I have just returned from the Gorgon and my visit to her has verified the substance of our Conversation on Thursday last. Her present armament consists of 4 32-pounder bored guns & 2 84-pounders 10-inch on the weather deck. if properly armed she would also carry 12 32-pounders on the main-deck but she is deficient in these. Her draft of water is about 15th. & 15 . 6 which I believe is what she ought to draw if her armament were complete with the full compliment of men water provisions munitions &c.' The letter continues with detailed criticism with reference to a trail 'in the river in July last with Ld Minto & other lords of the Admiralty on bd' the fact that 'her displacement had been sadly miscalculated'an incident on the coast of Spain her engines and paddle-boards. 'To judge of Gorgon whether she be a failure or otherwise she should be tried as an armed vessel carrying 16 32-pounders & 2 swivel guns . We have no more money that we know what to do with - no more workmen than we <> to keep pace with our wants in the shipwright department - & yet we are sacrificing both to the vain endeavours of adventurers in naval architecture while there are plenty of persons in the service who might be advantageously employed in preventing the occurrence of these & other discreditable blunders if it were not the fashion to prefer speculative notions to the plain & unerring principles of the <> of naval Construction'.

Japan. Later Edo. Colour manuscript illustrations presented in a handmade slim volume with paper ties. 14 double folded leaves 27 x 17.5cm. A prior owner's seal upper cover. A good copy of an attractive manuscript. This richly illustrated manuscript on shooting hand-copied in colour was most likely produced in the late Edo period probably in the 1850s. The original material was transmitted between 1703 and 1797 through several named individuals whose names appear on the final two pages. <br><br><br>The manuscript is chiefly concerned with where to aim a gun when hunting. A range of birds is shown both on the ground and in flight with the recommended points of aim marked by red circles. These markings shift according to whether the birds or animals are stationary or in motion. Three double-page illustrations depict fighting samurai and shooting targets. Particularly interesting is the final section which deals with shooting at stationary targets including a fan a branch and even a cloud. . unknown

With the ownership stamp of J. Wesley Miller with “J.W. Miller - duplicate†written in ink. Federal District Judge W. Arthur Garrity ruled in 1974 that Boston must integrate its school system.

Early efforts to block the desegregation efforts centered around South Boston High School where some parents of white students harassed and threw stones and bottles at arriving African-American students scenes repeated in some other white middle class neighborhoods. <br /> <br /> On December 14 over fifteen to twenty thousand people marched on Boston Common in support of the desegregation efforts. Offered here is a poster from the event published by the Ad Hoc Committee for Dec. 14. The poster shows an image from the Central High School desegregation efforts in 1957 above an image from Boston in 1974. No copies located though one is likely held at Miller’s unprocessed as of 2021 archive at UMass-Amherst.

He was appointed drawing master to Marie Antoinette yet despite his connections to the Royal family he survived the Terror and went on to become the court and flower painter to Empress Joséphine. It was because of her patronage that Redouté undertook Les Liliacées which together with Les Roses constitute the artist's greatest works. Although Joséphine had died three years before the publication of Les Roses it was the unequalled collection of roses on her estate at Malmaison that provided the artist with his inspiration.<br /> c.1830. hardcover

Telfer. </em></p><p>In 1845 Richard Burchett became the ringleader of students protesting to the Board of Trade about the teaching methods at the Government School of Design: this was the first attempt to improve the instruction in the principles and practice of ornamental design. The complaint became so serious that eventually a Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry was instituted in 1846 at which he and others gave evidence. Oddly by that time Burchett had already become a master at the school and so was giving evidence against his own employees to the committee.</p><p>This copy was addressed to the radical Joseph Hume M.P who was a close friend of William Williams another radical M.P. who led the charge of incompetence by the School of Design in the House of Commons. After eight committee meetings it was agreed that the School was not in good shape 'the principles of Ornaments and the practice of original design as applicable to manufactures are not efficiently taught' and 'That a knowledge of manufacturing processes so as to enable the students to unite fitness and practicability in Ornament is not communicated.' Reforms were instituted but not in time for some woefully bad designs to appear at the Great Exhibition of 1851 for all the world to see.</p> [London], 17 Bond Street, Commercial Road. 10th July

[Second Great Awakening – Old School-New School Controversy – Upstate New York] Rawson, Rev Thomas Reed
1832 Letter from Thomas Reed Rawson Then a Student at Auburn Theological Seminary Discussing the “very peculiar†and “very sinister†Spiritual Condition of Upstate New York
Auburn New York 1832. Single four-page letter measuring 7 ¾ x 9 ¾ inches. Folded with very small tears at folds. Excellent to Near Fine. A letter written from the Auburn Theological Seminary in 1832 from the soon-to-be Reverend Thomas Reed Rawson 1803-1877 to his soon-to-be wife Louisa W. Dawes 1810–1849. Dawes who lived in Cummington Massachusetts was the older sister of Senator Henry Laurens Dawes best known for the 1887 Dawes Act.<br /> <br /> Rawson opens by commenting on the death of one of his students and his time spent in Oswego “visiting in the most fashionable familiesâ€; he felt this taught him a great deal about “human nature†which in Oswego is “peculiarâ€. He seems to have been particularly perplexed by the spiritual character he encountered in upstate New York a locus of the Christian revival movement now called the Second Great Awakening:<br /> <br /> “You know I expected that the spirit of the west was a more active . spirit than what was seen in the N.E. states & hoped by breathing this pure atmosphere to enjoy great spiritual health. How erroneous was the impression! How greatly have I been deceived! . I acted as though it was so – as though man was man only in certain latitudes. I acted as though face answered to face only when seen in the waters of N.E. & consequently that the heart of a N.E. man had no analogy to what beats in the bosom of one born in a more western longitude.â€<br /> <br /> Not only is Rawson nonplussed by New Yorkers’ religious qualities he is vehemently opposed to some of the new practices that arose from the religious revival there:<br /> <br /> “The state of things here I mean in all this country at the west is very peculiar. You have heard of ‘Old & New Measures’ I suppose. For myself I cannot approve of the latter. I find not a spirit in me to Fellowship them. Have been exceedingly tried by them as I have been in the midst of ‘new measures’ all winter. You can form but a faint idea of the excitement which is in this country in the religious community. In Oswego Co. the lay-men are going through the Co. holding meetings once a month in praying exhorting dispensing the duties of Clergymen &c. &c.; & it seems that the present state of things must result in a wide division in the churches. ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ . As near as I can find out very sinister is the spirit that knows the new measures to that wild-pine which ran so extensively in the time of Edwards. The effects of it are seen in your town to this day.â€<br /> <br /> The “New Measures†were novel practices for American Christianity that came about during the Second Great Awakening mainly due to Presbyterian minister Charles Finney. These include very lengthy meetings public naming of sinners and public confessions of sin and were controversial with those who preferred a more orthodox and restrained service. Rawson accurately predicts that the new practices would lead to a schism; starting in 1837 the Old School-New School Controversy split the Presbyterian church along these lines. He later worries that such a division in the church would allow “Catholicism to take the advantage†and that “Satan is bringing this about as rapidly as possibleâ€. The appeal of a strong hierarchical Catholic church as opposed to a weak and divided Protestant one was a common worry among Protestants at the time.<br /> <br /> Rawson traces the “sinister spirit†of the new measures back to “the time of Edwardsâ€: Jonathan Edwards a key figure in the First Great Awakening of the 1730s and 40s. Given his reference to “your townâ€â€”Cummington Massachusetts—Rawson is probably referring to the so-called “New England theology†that arose from the First Great Awakening. Among other things New England theology proposed new views on man’s free will and responsibility; similar views would create controversy in Rawson’s time as he explains:<br /> <br /> “I see my own heart to be depraved & wicked beyond all observation but the fruits of the spirit I think I do love & hope they are sweeter & more sweet to my taste. I say taste the New measure-men are not taste-men but believe in the ‘motive scheme’ — By taste is meant the implantation of a new principle – love to God & is affected by the Holy Spirit. The ‘motive scheme’ implies that the sinner turns himself about in by motive merely.â€<br /> <br /> He is objecting to the idea that a sinner could redeem himself through an act of his own will—by his own ‘motives.’ Old School Presbyterianism holds a more orthodox Calvinist view wherein the redemption of the sinner is not up to the sinner’s will at all. Rawson makes an interesting comparison between New School views on the matter and states’ rights in the context of the then-ongoing nullification crisis:<br /> <br /> “The signs of the times declare most plainly to him who has wiped up his eyes that ‘the end has come upon the four corners of this earth’ i.e. the end of peaceful days for the present. Never was our Republic brought to a crisis like this. Nullification in the Political world is the same with Denunciation in the Religious world. This is my opinion; don’t know as have heard others say so.â€<br /> <br /> The nullification crisis arose when South Carolina declared that several import tariffs were unconstitutional and thus nullified them under the states’ rights doctrine of state nullification. Rawson seems to be drawing a parallel between the revivalists’ idea of the role of one’s motives in salvation and states’ rights advocates’ idea of the relationship between the states’ wills and the federal government’s. Of course the states’ rights issue would soon reach an apotheosis.<br /> Rawson closes with some affectionate lines for Dawes and advice about her own teaching job; the crossed text updates her on the Christian conversions within his family. Overall the letter provides detailed insights into the views of a more conservative theology student on the Presbyterian controversy that was soon to come to a head. unknown
