Good condition. From History dot Delaware dot Gov: Dickinsonâ€™s most famous contribution as the â€œPenmanâ€ and for the colonial cause was the publication of a series of letters signed â€œA FARMER.â€ The letters were published over a period of ten weeks in late 1767 and early 1768 with the first letter appearing in the Pennsylvania Chronicle on December 2 1767. In the letters Dickinson argued amongst other things that the Townshend Acts were illegal because they were intended to raise revenue a power held only by the colonial assemblies. His arguments were a collection of ideas that were written in a clear and concise manner which the general population could understand. Collectively the letters were called â€œLetters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies.â€ The letters were shortly thereafter published in pamphlet form and reprinted in almost all of the colonial newspapers. They were read widely across the colonies and in Britain and France. This quickly made John Dickinson famous. After reading the â€œLettersâ€ Voltaire the French philosopher compared Dickinson to Cicero an honored Roman statesman orator and philosopher. At the Boston town meeting in March of 1768 Samuel Adams and others spoke of the author by saying â€œthat the thanks of the town be given to the ingenious author of a course of lettersâ€¦ signed â€˜A FARMERâ€™ wherein the rights of the American subjects are clearly stated and fully vindicated: â€¦members of a committee are to prepare and publish a letter of thanks.â€ As a direct result of the popularity of Dickinsonâ€™s letters there were calls and petitions for the boycotting of imported goods throughout the colonies. The eventual result of the unity amongst the colonies against a common enemy was the First Continental Congress. When the Congress was called however Dickinson quickly realized that much progress needed to be made towards the solutions that he wrote about in his letters. From History dot com: The Sons of Liberty were a grassroots group of instigators and provocateurs in colonial America who used an extreme form of civil disobedienceâ€”threats and in some cases actual violenceâ€”to intimidate loyalists and outrage the British government. The goal of the radicals was to push moderate colonial leaders into a confrontation with the British Crown. The Sons marked one of their early victories in December 1765. The Stamp Actâ€”the first tax imposed directly on American colonists by the British governmentâ€”had only been in effect for a month when a group of Boston merchants and craftsmen sent a letter to Andrew Oliver the newly-appointed official collector of stamps. The group informed Oliver that he was to show up the next day at noon at the Liberty Tree in the cityâ€™s South End to publicly resign. Printed by William Goddard unknown

MASSACHUSETTS TRAVEL DIARY & PHOTO ALBUMABAA

A Photograph Album Kept In 1891 Containing Early Photographs Of Captain Harry Elisha Converse And Other Upper Crust New Englanders; It Was Made Just A Few Months Before Converse Married Mary Parker The First Woman Commissioned By The Merchant Marines

4689MASSACHUSETTS JOURNEY DIARY AND PHOTOGRAPHY ALBUM. Book. 115pg. 1891. Massachusetts. A travel journal and photography album entitled â€œCoaching Trip June 5th to 20th 1891â€. There are typewritten notes about a trip from Malden Massachusetts west to the Berkshires and across the Hudson River to West Point and then back to Boston. There are almost a hundred accompanying photographs of the people scenery and activities. The journal concerns the travels of â€œMr. and Mrs. H.E. Sawyer Miss Converse Miss Estabrook Captain H.E. Harry Elisha Converse and Messrs G.S. Stockwell J.E. Cochrane and P.W. Spragueâ€ page 91. The scrapbook begins with â€œCoaching Trip June 5th to 20th 1891. M.B.S. M.C.P. and the scribe meet at the B. & M. Boston and Maine Railroad Station in Malden waiting to be joined by F.E.C. and E.A.E. for the 4:10 train to Boston. We wish we had a photograph of the baggage for we are sure it would be interesting as a souvenir. Bags boxes shawl straps kodaks banjo umbrellas etc. are transported across Boston to the B. & A. Station while the ladies start for Youngâ€™s Hotel stopping by the way to purchase finery for Dennis and James. F.E.C. orders dinner and as time is limited thoughtfully orders Broiled Chickenâ€¦Dinner is served in Private Parlors â€“ It consists of Milk and crackers. This being insufficient for the insatiable J.E.C. and F.E. another dinner is ordered for them but the report comes back that fire has gone outâ€¦â€. The ride continues west seemingly along the path of the modern State Route 2 aka the Mohawk Trail: â€œâ€¦notwithstanding the length of the afternoon drive time passes so pleasantly in talking reading singing etc. that we arrive in Northampton long before any of the party wish to leave the drag. The odometer shows that we traveled 17 miles after dinnerâ€¦Short walks in some cases after dinner and then we gather on the upper veranda for an hours singâ€¦Bloody Brook House is reached at 12.45 where we dine after which the young ladies devote themselves to letter writingâ€¦The gentlemen attend a prize fight in the rear of the house in which one party â€˜Jim Carriganâ€™ a notorious local tough is badly cut up and a visiting tough is completely knocked out or rather kicked outâ€¦â€. The party continues through Shelburne Falls Charlemonte up and down the Hoosac Mountain North Adams and into Williamstown. In Williamstown one person makes a long distance telephone call to his father and they attend a baseball game. On June 12th they turn south to Lenox and Great Barrington. On June 15th the narrator mentions that â€œThe young ladies are demoralized this morning because they cannot get alcohol; I never saw girls so dependent upon strong drink early in the morning; this calls to mind the fact that this was to be a dry tripâ€¦the heat and dust are almost unbearableâ€¦â€. They traveled to Fishkill and then take a boat to West Point where they see cadets and hear a concert. The journal concludes with a listing of the songs they heard on their travels. There are 92 photographs of various sizes. The book was apparently was specially made for the occasion since there is a logo atop every page mentioning â€œJune 5th â€“ 20th 1891â€. The red cloth covers are disbound and the spine is missing; the front cover is gilt stamped with the date of the trip. A fine late Nineteenth Century travel memento. hardcover books
