193787643n.p. 1937. Quarto. 28.5cm. Mimeographed typewritten MS. Institutional black cloth half binding over brown paper covered boards titled by hand to spine. 167pp. A clean strong institutional binding with some minor wear and scuffing to extremities solid and durable; internally clean old library stamp from the Theological Seminary of Lancaster PA to front pastedown; something of a hybrid beast with some handwritten and typed additions and corrections and a number of pages inserted into the text at points on varying sizes of paper which combined with the number of original photographs laid onto the pages at appropriate places makes for a pleasing impression; the mimeo'd pages vary in clarity and quality with some displaying a characteristic blur but remaining legible and others being crisp and clean.<br /> <br /> A very good example of a "work in progress" ms with 29 photographs of notable church figures and locations; some are clearly sourced from other publications but a number are original photographs supplied by either the Reverend Sheely pastor at the time of publication or by local photographers and members of the congregation with credit often given on small slips bound into the work at the appropriate points. <br /> <br /> Garrett states in the preface "While serving as pastor of the New Oxford Charge 1914-1917 it became known that the Charge had no records of its splendid past. Upon inquiry as to the cause of this loss it was said that a fire had destroyed the Parsonage at Abbotstown and with it the records had been destroyed." Garrett's efforts to remedy this historical void which became known during the research for his published and rather better known work "History of The Kreuz Creek Charge" 1924 resulted in the current manuscript "the Minutes of Zion's Classis were gone through systematically. At that time a great many notes on the New Oxford Charge were gathered with the hope of using them some time in the future."<br /> <br /> <br /> Garrett's history follows the Pastors and notable congregational members of the church from the Rev. Carl Ludwig Boehme in 1775 through to Rev. Sheely in the early 1920's and the contemporary ministers of the church at the time of writing in 1937 covering many of the major events expansions victories and tragedies of the necessarily small originally German immigrant driven and maintained church in rural Adams County. <br /> The area is necessarily considerably altered from even Rev. Garrett's day but family names of the original congregation can doubtless be found among the followers of St. Paul's UCC of New Oxford PA. and a number of other places of worship that serve the descendents of the original German and Scots-Irish inhabitants of the region. It is a safe assumption from a historical point of view that the Reverend Garrett's history might be the only collected survival of a number of Pennsylvania families and personalities.<br /> If this work was published beyond this working manuscript then we can find no trace either in trade or in US institutional holdings. unknown
185037267New York April 30th 1850. 1850. Good. - Over 80 words penned on 6-1/4 inch high by 7-3/4 inch wide buff paper. Under the heading of "A card - To the Public" Rev. William K. Hoyt addresses his letter to the editor of the Police Gazette. Complaining of an article which appeared in the Police Gazette the previous week entitled "A gross case of Swindling" which implicates Hoyt. The Reverend claims that it is "calculated to do me great injury while the facts of the case have not yet transpired by an investigation." He goes on to request that "the community may suspend their opinion." until he's had opportunity to defend himself in court from "the base charges thus made against me". Signed "Wllm K. Hoyt". Folded for mailing the letter is creased and soiled with some tiny specks of ink touching the word "Gazette" at the top. <p>An anti-Catholic Protestant minister in New York the Reverend William K. Hoyt published sensationalistic claims made by Maria Monk in a nativist periodical the "American Protestant Vindicator". Several of the stories were probably fabricated by Hoyt. They were subsequently published in a book entitled "Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk" a work supposedly written by her. A young prostitute Maria Monk had been confined in the Charitable Institution for Female Penitents by her mother. Her behavior having led to her expulsion Maria ran off to the United States with the Reverend Hoyt. The book supposedly narrated by Maria Monk to the Reverend John Jay Slocum claimed she'd been a nun at the Hotel-Dieu convent in Montreal. According to the book and stories Maria supposedly claimed that nuns were forced to have intercourse with priests and she had witnessed a nun being killed for resisting a priest's advances and that babies born to the nuns were strangled and buried in the convent's basement. Pregnant when she arrived in New York which was not a surprising condition for a prostitute in the 19th Century the book claimed that the father was the Abbe Patrick Phelan. The stories played into the anti-Catholic nativist's convictions of the period. The appearance of another supposed nun who was said to have also fled from the convent drew even more attention. The tales of secret passages scandalous behavior and crimes at the Hotel-Dieu convent came under investigation by journalists including the American journalist William Leete Stone who very quickly recognized the lie after gaining access to the convent. Stone wrote that "After 10 minutes the imposture had become as plain as day. I now declare more openly than ever that neither Maria Monk nor Francis Partridge have ever set foot in the convent of Hotel Dieu". Meanwhile the Reverend Hoyt and his cohorts had pocketed most of the profits from the best seller and additional sensational books which supposedly related Maria's experiences as a nun were published. Interest in the Monk affair finally declined after a Protestant organization was given permission to visit the Hotel-Dieu and Iles des Soeurs. In 1849 Maria Monk was arrested in a "house of ill repute" for stealing from her "client" and incarcerated in a New York prison. She died there that Summer.<p>A rare letter from one of the 19th century's most notorious charlatans. New York, April 30th, 1850. unknown

1837009320Ship Burgundy to Middletown Connecticut 1837. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page folded letter measures 16" x 10" unfolded. It bears a circular red New York "Ship" postmark dated August 16 and is in nice shape. The ship Burgundy regularly brought immigrants from Europe to the United States. On this voyage which began at Le Havre in April it transported 41 U.S. citizens and 79 immigrant farmers from Prussia and Bavaria to New York see the Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild On-Line where Ms. Gibbs reports in her letter to Dr. Jarvis that it was quarantined for three days: "Tho' there has been no sickness on board except measles - they are obliged to cleance the ship at Staten Island and then land strange passengers and our baggage cannot be taken out until the ship comes up unless we consent to it being examined by an inferior officer." Ms. Gibbs also informs the Reverend Jarvis that "I saw Mrs J and daughter a few days before I left Paris they were all well very much occupied in preparation for their return to America It was their intention to sail the 8th of this month.". No doubt Ms. Gibbs would have no idea that this information would be something that Jarvis simply did not want to hear as Sarah was returning to the United States to begin divorce proceedings. In 1810 Samuel Jarvis then a young minister recently graduated from Yale married Sarah McCurdy Hart one of the "seven graces" the most beautiful women in New England at the time. Although Jarvis became quite wealthy as one of the most prominent pastors in New England and the couple had five children together their marriage was miserable from the start. It eventually ended in one of the most notorious divorces of 18th century America and was chronicled in newspapers and pamphlets of the day. Samuel was a serious humorless and stubborn man while Sarah was high strung tempestuous and easily angered. Soon after the wedding they began to annoy anger and infuriate each other. Samuel was also physically abusive not only to Sarah but to at least one of his daughters. During the divorce proceedings which were initiated soon after Sarah returned from her mutually agreed upon exile in Europe it came to light that Jarvis had repeatedly punched her in the head seized and wrung her nose dragged her across floors held her captive in a small apartment forced her to remain silent at all times limited her food and attempted to commit her to an insane asylum. A remarkable and scarce first-hand account of the arrival of an immigrant ship in New York made even more compelling by its connection to the infamous Jarvis-Hart divorce. At the time of listing no similar accounts of an immigrant ship's arrival in New York are for sale in the trade. There are no records at the Rare Book Hub or OCLC of similar accounts being held by institutions or sold at auction. Collections of Jarvis papers are held by the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut and the New York Public Library. unknown books
