Shelved at Rockville Room A Ephemera. Page 1<br /> <br /> Rev. & Dear Sir<br /> <br /> After I had wrote my letter of Nov'r 1st in answer to yours of Aug't 12th which will probably accompany this I was told that it was not likely there wd. be an opportunity to Halifax till the Spring but as I am certified of an opportunity now presenting I will trouble you w'th another Letter to let you know how much I am at your service and that I have a feeling sympathizing heart for my distressed Brethren in America wishing most ardently that it was in my power to contribute anything to alleviate yours & others' sufferings and to reward that merit which most of our Clergy thank God are justly entitled to.<br /> But whatever Neglects we must here let us remember that our Reward is on high and let this animate us to Fidelity & Faithfulness and Perseverance therein under every Temptation & thro' every Trial.<br /> <br /> We have had Sir a long gloomy Day of Sufferings but for my part I cannot but think what I sincerely hope that the worst is past. I think I can discern some Vestiges or Symptoms of some fortunate Events for this Nation & some convincing tokens of Causes which will re-establish the British Monarchy & revive the Lustre of the British Government. In a word I think the Day is approaching & to my naked Eye it don't appear to be distant when Rebellion will fall like Lightning from Heaven.<br /> <br /> The Parliament Sir is lately convened. The-<br /> <br /> Page 2<br /> <br /> The first opening of it seems to be something ominous to the patriotic Faction; a Noble Lord & one of the chief speakers on the side of opposition in the House of Peers suddenly departed this Life at scarcely an Hour's warning two Days after the Parliament met. Mr. Ch. J. Fox whose oratorical abilities are well known was wounded in a duel & came near as I did learn to lose his Life about the same time. These Events together with the failure of all the Prophecies in the republican Papers - the Disasters of D'Estaing in his Fleets being wrecked & dispersed in a storm - The safety of the W. India Islands particularly Jamaica which was long ago announced to be taken - The inefficiency of the Spanish operations against Gibraltar - the great sickness & mortality which has carried off Thousands in the Camp of the Spaniards - the dissension between the Spaniards & French Admirals - the brave conduct of Sir Charles Hardy in maintaining the Sovereignty of the Channel & even riding triumphantly before Brest in spite of the Navy of France & Spain united - the Feuds & Animosities prevailing among the Rebels of America which betoken the Decline of their short lived Empire &c.<br /> <br /> These things Sir I say have greatly chagrined the Members of Opposition & have sunkly abated the matter whereupon they used to display their Eloquence in the Senate.<br /> <br /> You will excuse my enlarging here for having wrote you once before I did not intend a long Letter when I sat down but wd. only set you an Example if it may be allowed I who am professedly your Senior-<br /> <br /> Page 3<br /> <br /> -to do as I have done to miss no opportunity of writing to me which will afford much pleasure for I have few Correspondents these Days in America.<br /> <br /> Present my respectfull compliments to Mr. Weeks - he may depend upon it I shall not trouble him w'th writing to him; I wd. not have it too well known that I wrote to so many which I seldom have. I cannot think Mr. Th- & his Party will be so unwise as to create any trouble to him when they know that he is properly appointed Missionary of Annapolis & that the People must have him or none.<br /> <br /> Joseph Patten Esq. formerly an active man in that Mission and Representative for that County I think you must inasmuch as he once told me that he had often attended your Ministry. When you write let me know whether he be living & what part he takes in affairs publick & Parochial or write to him by Mr. Weeks.<br /> <br /> If you know Doctor Jeffries of Boston who lives at Halifax I think please to make my compliments to him & tell him that Capt. Hall Master of the Ship in which we went from London to Boston in 1769 is a Prisoner in France. He was taken in the Andromeda Man of War was next in Command to Capt. Boteler.<br /> <br /> No more but that I am yours with Sincerity and Esteem.<br /> <br /> W. Clark<br /> <br /> Rev'd Mr. Bailey -. 1402959. Special Collections - Upstairs. unknown

189542255New York: published by Jacob H. Studer & Co 1895. Imperial 4to. 14 5/8 x 11 1/2 inches. 119 lithographed plates printed in colour and finished by hand after drawings by Theodore Jasper. Publisher's full brown morocco boards with blind-embossed decorations front board lettered gilt patterned endpapers all edges gilt<br/> <br/> A vibrant and influential late 19th-century American ornithological work.<br/> <br/> Jacob H. Studer created the present work with the aim of making ornithology accessible to a broader audience. Unlike earlier more expensive natural history folios Studer's publication was conceived as a more affordable guide for families schools and amateur naturalists an approach that contributed to its wide popularity and multiple subsequent editions the final appearing in 1903. The 119 chromolithographic plates many based on first-hand observation rather than copied from earlier works combine scientific clarity with a distinctly charming visual style. While less austere than Audubon and more accessible than the works of Baird or Ridgway the illustrations echo the warmth and immediacy of Wilson and his contemporaries helping to bridge the divide between academic ornithology and popular natural history. Studer's work serves as both a beautiful example of American chromolithography and a meaningful cultural artifact in the democratization of scientific knowledge at the turn of the century.<br/> <br/> Cf.
