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.

Also included are copied extracts from her diary, in the same hand, Aug. 28, 1838-Sept. 29, 1839. Grosvenor began her first diary while a student at Monson, Mass. After her return to Connecticut, the diary records her reading (Rollin's Ancient History and Campbell's Pleasures of Hope), social visits, travels in Connecticut and New York, and her extensive religious activity, such as temperance meetings and visits to the sick. The remaining diaries describe her life while married to Mason Grosvenor, with many details about her husband's pastoral work, church and town activity in Ashfield, Sharon, and Hudson, along with notes about her young children. Also present is a file of correspondence, 27 letters, totaling 74 pages, 1827-1900, with letters to and from Esther, Mason, and William Mason. In additional to family news, there is a letter from Mason's mother pertaining to his undecided choice of career (1827); letters from Mason to the brethren at Illinois College explaining his reluctance to move to Illinois (1832); a series of letters from Mason to Esther in which he deliberates whether to take the pastorate offered at Sharon, Conn. (1836); a letter from Illinois College to Mason upon the completion of a bust honoring his service to the college (1884); and a letter from Illinois College to William Mason on the funeral of professor Grosvenor (1886). The remainder of the collection contains Mason Grosvenor's manuscript preaching license, dated May 14, 1830; a manuscript commonplace book kept by Esther, 20 p., with excerpts from Byron, Campbell, and others; a holograph diary, 24 p., kept by Mason Grosvenor, Jan.-Feb., 1817 (with postscript, Feb. 1821); a printed handbill for "Miss L.

Ripon, England documents, 1636-1770.

Title: Ripon, England documents, 1636-1770.

The Ripon, England Documents (1636-1770) include a total of 23 documents that convey legal transactions such as indentures, deeds, marriage settlements, wills, and mortgages from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Ripon, England. Many of the documents include wax seals and tax postage stamps; however the earlier documents are without postage stamps. Many of the documents are handwritten on parchment while only one is written on paper. There is at least one document from the reign of each English monarch during this time period. Two of the documents are written in Latin; the one dated 1636 is in both English and Latin, while the rest are written in English. Only one document uses a printed form in which the persons, date, etc. are written in. The greater part of the documents are indentures, frequently of the "bargain and sale" type. There are several mortgages, one marriage settlement, a will, and an apppointment of a minor official. This latter document is rather interesting: the appointment of the under steward of the Courts of Leets and Barron, by William Grosvenor, Land Steward for the Duke of Devonshire in 1710. Another document of interest was signed and sealed by William Ward, "Commissary of the Exchequor Court" of the Lord Archbishop of York, and gives the widow of a man who died intestate the administrative rights to his goods, chattels, and "cattels", etc. This occured in 1740 and women's rights to property bore no similarity to those they hold today.
