Wright, Chauncey, 1830-1875. Papers, 1850-1875

Title: Chauncey Wright Papers, 1850-1875

A philosopher, metaphysician, and mathematician, Chauncey Wright graduated from Harvard in 1852 and taught occasionally at the College while employed as a "computer" with the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac. A positivist and empiricist in the British tradition, he exerted an influence on the development of American Pragmatism through his younger friends William James, Charles S. Peirce, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, but is perhaps best remembered as one of the earliest and most able defenders of Darwinism and Darwinian natural selection. The bulk of the 137 items in the Wright Papers is comprised of personal letters addressed to Wright during the adult years of his brief life. From the typical letters of a college student, the correspondence branches out to touch upon philosophy, mathematics, and Wright's meeting with Darwin in 1872. Among the more prominent correspondents are C. S. Peirce, Charles Eliot Norton, Francis Bowen, Susan and J. Peter Lesley, and James Bradley Thayer and William Sydney Thayer.

Charles Eliot Norton papers

Title: Charles Eliot Norton papers

This archive contains letters addressed to Charles Eliot Norton from about 1845 to1908. Norton was a Harvard graduate (A.B. 1846) and professor of the History of Fine Arts at Harvard from 1874 to 1898, with a special interest in the study and translation of Dante. Many of the letters in this collection deal with art and with Dante. In addition he knew a great many prominent figures in both England and the United States, especially those in the political field and the literary and artistics fields. His correspondence with these people often touches upon their public and their private lives. From 1863 to 1868 Norton was joint editor with his friend James Russell Lowell of the North American review. The letters addressed to him as editor are marked in this index by a star (*) and the folders containing them are stamped with a red N.A.R.(=North American Review). In 1898 Norton's opposition to the Spanish-American war led Senator George F. Hoar to criticize him. A list of some of the letters Norton received commenting on this controversy is at the end of this index. Referenced throughout the finding aid is the Excavations at Delphi (scrapbook folder) with a folder designation, such as f.1, f.2, and so on. All folders can be found at item number 5308.

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.

Wolcott, Samuel, 1813-1886. Letters to Samuel Wolcott, 1829-1874.

Title: Letters to Samuel Wolcott, 1829-1874.

Letters from relatives, friends and professional contacts to the Rev. Samuel Wolcott. The earliest letters are two from his friend William Strong offering advice on Wolcott's studies and conduct while at Yale and describing his own experiences teaching in Burlington, New Jersey. Edwin David Sanborn discusses teaching at Dartmouth and opinions on Abolition and football there, while Samuel Wolcott Skinner details his studies at Gorham Academy and the Gorham Lyceum. Missionary work, particularly in Palestine, is the focus of letters from Elias Root Beadle and William Tipping, while Francis Bowen writes to solicit a missions-related article for the North American Review. Approximately half the letters are from family members, including three from Wolcott to his wife Harriet, and contain much family news, descriptions of travels and visits in the Midwest, plans for Elizur Wolcott to journey to California (later abandoned), and commentary on sermons, church matters, and local events. A letter from Wolcott's brother Elizur, dated 17 October 1842, describes the Mormon settlement and temple at Nauvoo and discusses Mormonism and Millerism as "falsehoods incarnate." An 1861 letter, also by Elizur, condemns Lincoln as an "imbecile President" for his failure to pursue full abolition of slavery in the early stages of the Civil War. Later letters from "Henry" and "Sam" (probably Wolcott's sons) contain descriptions of Henry's work for the Des Moines Railroad in Summit and of Sam's life in Texas as a sheepherder.
