Buckminster, J. S. (Joseph Stevens), 1784-1812. Papers, 1797-1812.

Title: Papers, 1797-1812.

The Buckminster papers are divided into three series: personal papers, student papers and sermons. Personal papers include journals begun as a student at Harvard, 1797, discussing lectures, books read, and outlining his course of study generally. The journals continue with a description of his trip to Europe, 1806-7, which was necessitated by poor health. These descriptive passages are amplified with essays on the character of the English, French and German people. During his tour Buckminster amassed a personal library of some three thousand volumes; his bibliographical notes form an important part of this series. Most of these books eventually went to form the nucleus of the Boston Athenaeum collection. Correspondence includes copies of outgoing letters as well as letters received, on such subjects as dueling, capital punishment and the system of education at Eton College. Correspondents include James Sullivan, Arthur Maynard Walter, Thomas Belsham and John Pickering. Papers from Buckminster's years at Harvard include essays on classical literature and the Bible, and chronologies. Sermons form the bulk of the collection, and date from 1803-12. For part of this time Buckminster served as minister of the Brattle Street Church in Boston. As an original member of the Anthology Society and a founder of the Boston Athenaeum, Buckminster made important contributions to intellectual life in Boston during the first decade of the 19th century. His papers reflect his broad religious knowledge and the sort of restless intelligence which enabled him to accomplish much during his short life.

Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Title: Palfrey family papers, 1713-1915

Papers of the Palfrey family of New England. The material of this collection encompasses over 150 years of American history and many items of interest besides those documenting the life and works of John Gorham Palfrey, who is its central figure. A few of these may be briefly mentioned here. The papers of William Palfrey include letters between John Wilkes and the Sons of Liberty and William Palfrey's personal correspondence with Wilkes at the time of the latter's imprisonment in 1769-1770, including Palfrey's description of the Boston Massacre. William Palfrey's business account and financial papers are extensive and range in subject from accounts of trade with Virginia in 1763 to the disposition of funds of the Continental Army during the time Palfrey was Pay Master General. His close association and correspondence with John Hancock should be noted. Several interesting items pertain to the dispute between Hancock and the Boston printer, John Mein, which resulted in Thomas Longman's suit against Mein and the latter's imprisonment. The papers of John Palfrey deal mainly with his business affairs and the management of his plantation at Attakapas. However, several letters by his sons, Edward, William Taylor, and Henry William give first-hand accounts of battles in the war of 1812. Letters to John Gorham Palfrey from over 1000 corespondents form the largest single section in the collection. Of special importance are 377 letters from Jared Sparks and 148 letters from Charles Sumner.
