183823980No place but Burlington Iowa 1838. Pen ink and watercolour map of Cumberland County with the properties of D. Parvin and D. Harris and numerous towns located the demarcation line between marsh and solid ground marked and the routes and names of all the main rivers and creeks shown some roads marked in pencil and the route between Salem Salem Co. and the tip of Cape May marked with a purple dotted line. An attractive map of Cumberland County in southern New Jersey.<br/> <br/>The Parvin property is identified as being on the southern bank of the Cohansey River in Fairfield Township. The Harris property is in adjoining Downe Township. These are the only two individual properties identified on the map suggesting that the map was either compiled for or by a member of the Parvin or Harris family. This map was loosely inserted in an 1838 edition of Bradford's Illustrated Atlas inscribed on the title "Theodore Sutton Parvin Burlington Iowa August 15/ 1838" and an examination of the map of New Jersey in the atlas shows that the Cumberland County area was squared up for enlargement. All of which gives a source and probable author of the map. Parvin has added some names and geographical features in addition to those shown on the Bradford engraved map. Theodore Sutton Parvin was born in Cedarville Cumberland County N. J. on January 15 1817; and died June 28 1901. He graduated at Woodward College Cincinnati in 1836; he studied law; was private secretary of Robert Lucas the first governor of the Iowa Territory and was the first librarian of that territory. Later he was librarian and professor in the Iowa State University; was a founder of the Iowa State Historical Society in 1857 and for the years 1863-65 was its corresponding secretary and editor. He was the founder in 1844 of the Iowa Masonic Library and through his exertions this library has its present building at Cedar Rapids. From its foundation until his death fifty-seven years he was its librarian. Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 1905. vol.X part II p.871. unknown books

Contemporary plain wrappers stitched light wear and fox. 14 2 pp. Good to Very Good. <br/><br/> New Jersey's Constitution "the constitution of the revolution.was adopted on the second day of July 1776 and is therefore two days older than the Declaration of Independence." The Committee discusses the function of a Constitution which is "the source of all political power the fountain of all government" setting "fundamental" rules of conduct "bounds" to governmental action and guarantees to "publick liberty" by separation of governmental powers. Though power resides in the people the Committee rejects universal suffrage-- which would include "women children negroes mulattoes paupers slaves convicts"-- as "visionary impossible absurd." The Committee considers several other issues involving the appropriate branch of government to make judicial appointments and to exercise the duties of a judicial Chancellor. <br/>OCLC 8685087 2.

An entertaining and predictably pious letter mentioning the "rappers" a reference to the spiritualism movement started by the Fox sisters that had gripped upstate New York and eventually the entire country in the mid 19th century with a thinly veiled ant-semitic reference to Satan having a "synagogue" in Liberty. Further on in the our letter Petrie turns his attention to his congregation in New Jersey and relates the tale of a soldier of fortune that has become a "soldier of the cross."<br/><br/>Reading in part: "I received a letter from Mr. Boyd this week. He tells me the rappers are still in full blast & I am afraid they have prevented much good from being done this winter & spring. It is melancholy to think how busy Satan is to delude & destroy unstable souls & that even professors of religion can be found among his most successful agents but it is & the devil is never more likely to deceive than when he transforms himself into an angel of light. It grieves me much that he has a synagogue in Liberty. Our church continues to grow gradually at our communion last . week 8 were added . one of them was a man 70 years of age. He had been a soldier in Napoleon's army in Spain Portugal Prussia & etc. & was taken a prisoner by the English & was in prison a whole year. On condition of fighting against this country he was liberated & came here as a soldier he soon deserted & joined the American Army in which he served till peace was proclaimed. He then settled a few miles from this place in Washington Valley & I hope at the eleventh hour has become a soldier of the cross."<br/><br/>Rev. James Petrie was born in Perthshire Scotland in 1814. He came to the US in 1831 and in 1833 entered Princeton College graduating from the college in 1836 and from the Theological Seminary in 1839. He was installed as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Liberty Sullivan County New York in 1840 and remained there for 12 years before being installed as the first pastor of the newly established Presbyterian Church in Pluckamin Somerset County New Jersey in 1852. Petrie resigned due to ill health in 1856 and moved to Jersey City. He continued to preach throughout New Jersey until his death in 1886 in Plainfield. unknown books
