1856-1915 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Story of the Negro  | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | RAN away, on the 6th of July last, from the subscriber, living in Bond's
forest, within eight miles of Joppa, in Baltimore County, an Irish
Servant Man, named Owen M'Carty, about 45 years old, 5 feet 8 inches
high, of a swarthy complexion, has long black hair, which is growing a
little grey, and a remarkable scar under the right eye. He had on and
took with him when he went away, a short brown coat, made of country
manufactured cloth, lined with red flannel, with metal buttons, oznabrigs
trowsers patched on both knees, a white shirt, an old pair of shoes, and an
old felt hat. He was a soldier in some part of America about the time of
Braddock's defeat, and can give a good description of the country. Whoever
takes up the said Servant and brings him to Alexander Cowan, or
John Clayton, Merchants, in Joppa, or to the subscriber, if he is taken in
the County, shall receive FIVE POUNDS, and if out of the County, the above-mentioned
TEN POUNDS, as a reward and consideration for his trouble
and expense. Barnard Reilly. Miss Varina: I have watched with deep interest and solicitude
the illness of Mr. Davis at Brierfield, his trip down on the steamer
Leathers, and your meeting and returning with him to the residence
of Mr. Payne, in New Orleans; and I had hoped with good
nursing and superior medical skill, together with his great willpower
to sustain him, he will recover. But, alas! for human endeavour,
an over-ruling Providence has willed it otherwise. I
appreciate your great loss, and my heart goes out to you in this
hour of your deepest affliction. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Booker T.
1856-1915 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Future of the American Negro | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | In this volume I shall not attempt to
give the origin and history of the Negro
race either in Africa or in America.
My attempt is to deal only with conditions
that now exist and bear a relation
to the Negro in America and that are
likely to exist in the future. In discussing
the Negro, it is always to be borne
in mind that, unlike all the other inhabitants
of America, he came here without
his own consent; in fact, was compelled
to leave his own country and
become a part of another through physical
force. It should also be borne in
mind, in our efforts to change and improve
the present condition of the Negro,
that we are dealing with a race which
had little necessity to labour in its native
country. After being brought to
America, the Negroes were forced to
labour for about 250 years under circumstances
which were calculated not to
inspire them with love and respect for
labour. This constitutes a part of the
reason why I insist that it is necessary
to emphasise the matter of industrial
education as a means of giving the
black man the foundation of a civilisation
upon which he will grow and
prosper. When I speak of industrial
education, however, I wish it always
understood that I mean, as did General
Armstrong, the founder of the Hampton
Institute, for thorough academic
and religious training to go side by
side with industrial training. Mere
training of the hand without the culture
of brain and heart would mean
little. "The closing exercises of the city
coloured public school were held at St.
Luke's A. M. E. Church last night, and
were witnessed by a large gathering, including
many white. The recitations
by the pupils were excellent, and the
music was also an interesting feature.
Rev. R. T. Pollard delivered the address,
which was quite an able one; and
the certificates were presented by Professor
T. L. McCoy, white, of the Sanford
Street School. The success of the
exercises reflects great credit on Professor
S. M. Murphy, the principal, who
enjoys a deservedly good reputation as
a capable and efficient educator." | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1838-1918 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Education of Henry Adams | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | UNDER the shadow of Boston State House, turning its
back on the house of John Hancock, the little passage
called Hancock Avenue runs, or ran, from Beacon
Street, skirting the State House grounds, to Mount Vernon Street,
on the summit of Beacon Hill; and there, in the third house below
Mount Vernon Place, February 16, 1838, a child was born, and
christened later by his uncle, the minister of the First Church after
the tenets of Boston Unitarianism, as Henry Brooks Adams. Whether the Federal army is destroyed or not, it is clear that it
is driven back to Washington and has made no progress in subduing
the insurgent States. Such being the case, I agree with you that the
time is come for offering mediation to the United States Government
with a view to the recognition of the independence of the Confederates.
I agree further that in case of failure, we ought ourselves
to recognize the Southern States as an independent State. For the
purpose of taking so important a step, I think we must have a meeting
of the Cabinet. The 23d or 3Oth would suit me for the meeting. ...It is evident that a great conflict is taking place to the northwest
of Washington, and its issue must have a great effect on the state
of affairs. If the Federals sustain a great defeat, they may be at once
ready for mediation, and the iron should be struck while it is hot.
If, on the other hand, they should have the best of it, we may wait
a while and see what may follow... It is of the utmost importance and urgency that the ironclads building
at Birkenhead should not go to America to break the blockade.
They belong to Monsieur Bravay of Paris. If you will offer to buy
them on the part of the Admiralty you will get money's worth if he
accepts your offer; and if he does not, it will be presumptive proof
that they are already bought by the Confederates. I should state
that we have suggested to the Turkish Government to buy them;
but you can easily settle that matter with the Turks. . . . | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1861-1932 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Frontier in American History | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | In a recent bulletin of the Superintendent of the Census for
1890 appear these significant words: "Up to and including
1880 the country had a frontier of settlement, but at present
the unsettled area has been so broken into by isolated bodies
of settlement that there can hardly be said to be a frontier
line. In the discussion of its extent, its westward movement,
etc., it can not, therefore, any longer have a place in the census
reports." This brief official statement marks the closing
of a great historic movement. Up to our own day American
history has been in a large degree the history of the colonization
of the Great West. The existence of an area of free land,
its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement
westward, explain American development. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1744-1818 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Letters of Mrs. Adams | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | "When President Monroe was in Boston, upon.
his late tour, encompassed by citizens, surrounded
by the military, harassed by invitations
to parties, and applications innumerable
for office, some gentleman asked him if he was
not completely worn out? To which he replied,
'O no. A little flattery will support a man
through great fatigue.' I may apply the observation
to myself and say, that the flattery in
your letter leads me to break through the aversion,
which is daily increasing upon me, to
writing. The public papers, my dear friend, announce
the fatal event of which your letter of October
the 20th had given me ominous foreboding.
Tried myself in the school of affliction, by the
loss of every form of connexion which can rive
the human heart, I know well, and feel what
you have lost, what you have suffered, are
suffering, and have yet to endure. The same
trials have taught me, that for ills so immeasurable,
time and silence are the only medicine.
I will not therefore, by useless condolences, open
afresh the sluices of your grief, nor, although
mingling sincerely my tears with yours, will I
say a word more where words are vain; but
that it is of some comfort to us both, that the
term is not very distant, at which we are to
deposit in the same cerement our sorrows and
suffering bodies, and to ascend in essence to an
ecstatic meeting with the friends we have loved
and lost, and whom we shall still love and
never lose again. DOES not my friend think me a stupid girl, when
she has kindly offered to correspond with me, that
I should be so senseless as not to accept the offer?
Senseless and stupid I would confess myself, and
that to the greatest degree, if I did not foresee the
many advantages I shall receive from corresponding
with a lady of your known prudence and understanding. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
