Chauncy, Charles

A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of the Reverned Jonathan Mayhew, D.D. Late Pastor of the West-Church in Boston: Who Departed This Life on Wednesday Morning, July 9, 1766. Aetatis 46. Delivered the Lord's Day After His Decease

Boston, R. and S. Draper, Edes and Gill, and T. and J. Fleet, 1766. First edition. Removed from a larger volume. 40 pp. Sm. 8vo. Jonathan Mayhew (1720 -1766) was an early American reformist minister at Old West Church, Boston, Massachusetts, known for his sermon "A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers" (1750). "Mayhew's ardent liberalism in religion and politics was consistent with the intellectual freedom and governmental philosophy produced in the Age of Reason. He advanced those principles in sermons and tracts, but his death in Boston from complications of a cerebral hemorrhage came before such ideals reached their zenith in this country. His fellow citizens mourned his early demise and honored Mayhew as a genial colleague, spirited controversialist, pastoral leader, and firm patriot," (Henry Warner Bowden. "Mayhew, Jonathan"; anb.org/articles/01/01-00590. Charles Chauncy (1705-1787) was a close friend and ends his sermon: "I have only to say, as Dr. Mayhew was a friend to these churches, and their able advocate; especially in regard of that "liberty wherewith our Lord Jesus Christ has made them free": As he was a friend to the college, and has exerted his powers to my knowledge in defence of its reputation and interest: And as he was a friend to the country in general, entertaining an high opinion of the more special errand upon which our progenitors came over into this then desolate wilderness, and has vigorously laid himself out in opposing any designs that might have been formed to subvert it:—His death, in the vigor of his days, and height of his usefulness, may justly be esteemed a great and public loss, calling for universal lamentation." Evans 10254. Title page browned at the edges, faint dampstain at the top fore corner, marginal only, on the last three leaves, scattered browning, still about very good.

[Pennsylvania Cavalry] Chormann, Ernest G.

Manuscript Document Signed by Five CIVIL War Officers Concerning Chorman's Mounted Rifle Rangers

n.p. 1861. [1] sheet. 7.75 x 4.5 inches. Signed by Ernest G. Chormann, Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter, Col. William Woods Averell, Chief of ordnance Charles P. Kingsbury, and Assistant Adjutant-General Andrew J. Alexander (for Gen. George Stoneman), with the note "approved" by three signatures. Though undated, it was likely signed between September 1861 and January 17, 1862, based on the service records of those who signed it. 1. Ernest G. Chormann in 1861 recruited a volunteer regiment called "Chorman's Independent Mounted Rifle Rangers" in Philadelphia. (See Library Company of Philadelphia for the broadside). The first company of this regiment was mustered into service July 23, 1861, and the last was mustered Sept. 15th, 1861. The regiment was then under the command of Col. E. G. Chormann. It was numbered the 89th of the line and the 8th Cavalry and left Pennsylvania for Washington on Oct. 4, where it was brigaded with the 3rd Pa. cavalry, thus putting Chormann under the command of William Woods Averell, who in turn was under the command of Brigadier General Fitz John Porter. On Nov. 9, 1861 the New York Times reported "The Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, Col. Chormann, has been brigaded with the Third, from the same State. The brigade is commanded by Col. W.W. Averell, of the latter regiment. Both are rapidly improving in efficiency and drill." But on Nov. 27, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that "The statement that charges have been filed against Col. Chormann, is said to be erroneous. The Colonel is laboring energetically to ensure the perfection of drill desireable in all well disciplined regiments." By January 17, 1862 Chormann had resigned his commission, to be replaced by Capt. David Gregg, of the 6th U. S. cavalry, an experienced officer and a graduate of West Point. Chormann had endorsed Merrill's Patent Breech-Loading Carbine on September 19th, 1861, his letter to General J. W. Ripley, Chief of Ordnance, Washington, D. C. soon appearing in an advertisement for the weapons, but so had many other officers. Thus both the reason for his resignation and the purpose of this document remain unknown. Little is known about Ernest G. Chormann, other than in his autobiography below, and for his filing of numerous patents. He was an inventor, and also active as an artist between 1853-1880 (See Frick Museum Art Reference Library). In 1852 he exhibited saddle patterns at the Twenty-second Exhibition of American Manufactures at the Franklin Institute; in 1861, listed as an engraver and die sinker, he bid on a $2500 contract with the U.S. Government for coin designs as part of ongoing experiments into how to prevent "abrasion, counterfeiting, and deterioration of the coins of the United States; " he was hired as the engraver; he filed for optical and mechanical patents; in 1880 he painted "Letitia Street House, 1880" now at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania's Rangers' War song: "Up ! up ! with our flag , let its bright stars gleam out" was dedicated to him. The Pennsylvania Historical Review (1886) lists his firm, Chormann & Mitchell, as "inventors and patentees of the specialties manufactured. They manufacture all kinds of art furniture, including parlor easels, novel and chaste in design, labor- saving studio easels, sketching easels, artists' kits, etc. together with interior decorations.. the studio easel being awarded the first premium and diploma at the Centennial Exposition of 1876." Chormann adds his somewhat rather fanciful biography: "Mr. Chormann, the founder of this business, was born in France. Early in life he was noted for his energy, talent and determination, and visited as an explorer and traveller nearly every country in the civilized world. In 1836 he was a colonel in the San Jacinto war, where he manifested great courage and prudence, and on its termination made an effort to explore almost alone the sources of the Nile. Eventually, after exploring various portions of Australia, New Mexico, Arizona and Lower California, and undergoing great hardships and dangers from climate and Indians, he was appointed on his arrival in Texas in 1845 captain and superintendent of the Texan Rangers. He was actively engaged in 1847 and 1848 in the Mexican war, where his distinguished military ability was of great service to the United States. During his explorations and travels in the West he was associated with those famous old Indian fighters, namely, De Soto and California Joe. Mr. Chormann was the first white man who explored the Western portion of the Colorado River, the whole of the country at that period, 1843 watered by this stream being inhabited by tribes of Indians of the most cruel and treacherous nature. Colonel Chormann organized the first regiment that served during the war, and which was known as Chormann's Mounted Rangers. On the 14th April, 1861, immediately after the bombardment of Fort Sumpter, he began recruiting, and put 5000 men in the field. In 1865 he brought East the first specimen of the moss agate. In a few months Mr. Chormann intends to publish a work on Colorado and the West, illustrated with splendid engravings, which will prove of the greatest interest to all lovers of nature. He was the inventor of stylograph printing, and is noted in scientific and artistic circles for his inflexible integrity and sterling ability." 2. Fitz John Porter (1822-1901) Civil War Union Major General, West Point 1845, served in the Mexican-American War, promoted to brigadier general of volunteers in 1861 and divisional commander in the newly formed Army of the Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan who was soon is patron. On November 25, 1862, Porter was arrested and court-martialed for his actions at Second Bull Run after McClellan was dismissed by Lincoln. He spent the next 16 years trying clear his name and record, which he finally did in 1878. 3. William Woods Averell (1832-1900) Civil War Union Brigadier General, West Point, 1855, 2nd Lieutenant assigned to the United States Army Mounted Rifles, and served in the Indian Wars on the Western frontier, severely wounded in a fight with Navajos in 1859 became a 1st Lieutenant with the Mounted Riflemen and was placed on staff duty in Washington, D.C. In August, 1861, he was appointed as Colonel of the 3rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry and soon became a Brigadier General. 4. Andrew Jonathan Alexander (1833-1887), Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General, served first as a Captain in the 3rd United States Regular Cavalry, then as Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of Union General George Stoneman. 5. Charles Peeble Kingsbury (1816-1879), graduated from West Point in 1840 (2nd in a class of 42), served in the Mexican War as General Wolf's ordnance officer and on General Taylor's staff, wrote, 'Elementary Treatise on Artillery and Infantry' (1849), and was a contributor to the American Whig Review, Western Quarterly Review, Putnam's Monthly, and the Southern Literary Messenger from 1840-67, was superintendent of the Armory at Harper's ferry, and Chief of Ordnance for the Army of the Potomac August 12, 1861 to July 1862, promoted to Colonel and aide-decamp September 28, 1861. Very good, folded, edge worn, light soiling and ink staining.

[Nullification] Clark, S.B. [Samuel]

[Manuscript Document Signed] Ought New England to Give Up Its Tariff

n.p. 1832. [6] pp. 8 x 10 inches. A forceful anti-tariff argument written shortly after passage of South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification, embracing that law and accusing the protective tariff system of being unjust, unconstitutional, unequal in its operation, and immoral to boot. Signed though undated, by S.B. Clark. In his opening, Clark asserts that, "We are decidedly anti-tariff. We are ready to raise our voice, feeble as it is, in harmony with those of our ablest politicians, in condemnation of this protective system. We would it was in our power to give its death blow." From this point, Clark builds his case against the tariff, claiming that it, "..tends directly to benefit the northern or manufacturing states at the expense of southern or agricultural", by suggesting that in the exchange of foreign good, the agriculturalist loses 45% of his imported claims in customs. He gives the following example to better illustrate his point: ".. a manufacturer has 100 yards of cloth worth $100. A planter a bale of cotton worth the same amount ($100). The planter for a market, exports his cotton to Liverpool and procures in exchange $100 yards of cloth. Thus far, he is on an equality with his northern friend. But mark the difference in the end. 45 yards are taken from the planter at his arrival in this country for duty, thus leaving only 55 yards in the hands of the importer. How now doe the value of the merchandise of the manufacturer compare with that of the agriculturalist. The former still retains his 100 yards, the latter only 55 yards." Clark proceeds to commend the actions taken by South Carolina in an effort to counter the unjust imposition of the Tariff, before he argues its unconstitutionality, and, moreover, its immorality. He writes, "It is destructive of the morals of our people. Look at the tenets of our cotton factories. A heterogeneous multitude of men, women, boys, and girls, assembled promiscuously together, with their activity and health enervated, without education, without any moral susceptibilities. Each imbibing all the evil propensities of each other and acquiring habits that are never to be shaken off and tell me if they present a picture favorable to our Republican institutions. If there is a probability that useful citizens will ever come out from among them - while there is land to be cultivated let us not be desirous of diverting our industry to manufacturing concerns." Before his closing statements, Clark offers a counterpoint to the argument that the tariff system protects our nation from being overly dependent upon foreign exports. While he acknowledges that this claim is in part valid, he retorts that, "It is with nations as with individuals the transaction of business with fellow man, free exchange of commodities, purchase and trade, infer no dependence. Who feels his independence lessened by calling up the shoe maker and requesting him to replace a dropped stitch in his boot? Each is but doing the other a favor - so with nations." Samuel B. Clark (1812-1865) was a plantation owner of Brothersville, Richmond County, Georgia. The correspondence of the Clark family and related families in Virginia and Georgia are in "The Samuel B Clark Papers (1764-1890)," located at Duke. The purpose of the essay, as part of a letter, as a submission to a newspaper, or some other less public reason, is unknown. Very good, folded, few tears at edges and folds, not affecting text, minor soiling.

[Boston Lloyds. S. C. Thwing & Co.]

[Power of Attorney for Boston Lloyds between S.C. Thwing & Co. And Richard S. Haven]

Boston, 1869. 1 sheet. Folio. Signed and dated 1 January 1869. Sealed with 50 cent Internal Revenue conveyance stamp. Title arches over an etching of a three masted ship steaming at sea. Boston Lloyds was an insurance organization formed as "an Association for the purpose of taking Marine Risks by means of Individual Underwriting", and "by power of attorney, have [ing] each [member] authorized Richard S. Haven to make insurance for them, in their individual capacity, as the said Richard S. Haven may deem proper; and for that purpose to perform all acts necessary to the proper fulfillment of the object." There were sixty members, each allowing Haven to commit them up to $500 each. One of the firms was S. C. Thwing & Co. of Boston, whose commitment document this is. Its primary owner was Supply Clap Thwing (1798-1871), a wealthy businessman with roots tracing back to the Pilgrims. He was active in the mercantile trade between the East Indies and New Orleans, was a ship owner, and active in the coal trade. Richard S. Haven came to Boston from California, became an insurance agent for a number of companies, before forming Boston Lloyds, which, unfortunately did not last half a decade, perhaps failing about 1874.
