Lesley, J. Peter, 1819-1903. Papers, 1826-1898

Title: J.P. Lesley Papers 1826-1898

After a brief career in the Congregational church, J. Peter Lesley (1819-1903) left the ministry in 1852 to work full-time as a geologist. Having gained experience in structural geology and stratigraphy with the First Pennsylvania Geological Survey (1836-1842), Lesley became an expert in the geology of coal, working for the Pennsylvania Railroad and other corporations and conducting some of the first systematic studies of the state's hydrocarbon resources. A long-time professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was elected to the APS in 1856, serving variously as its librarian, secretary, and vice president, and he was selected as Director of the Second Pennsylvania Geological Survey (1875-1889). The Lesley Papers include letters to and from Peter Lesley and his wife, Susan on geology, coal and iron mining, abolition, educational reform, organized charity, and Unitarianism. The collection offers important insight into academic and applied geology in late 19th century Pennsylvania, the development of the coal and iron industries, as well as into the Lesleys' progressive social and intellectual milieu. It is divided into three series: Lesley's general correspondence, his correspondence with his brother Joseph, and microfilms of Lesley's research notes.

Patton, Mary Shaw Bird, d. 1863. Journal, 1860 June 3-1861 July 17.

Title: Journal, 1860 June 3-1861 July 17.

Describes a tour from New York to Western Europe, with daily accounts from England to Italy, and the return trip. Although the Pattons were on their wedding trip, William attended meetings, renewed old acquaintances among European clergy, and even conducted some church services. For instance, on July 6, 1860, William went to a committee meeting of an organization, the Evangelical Alliance, that he was instrumental in establishing in 1846; three days later the Pattons spent an evening at the home of Rev. Dr. Davies, the secretary of the London Tract Society; and one month later William filled the pulpit of Rev. B. Noel in London. Many of the sites the Pattons visited were religious in nature. In London, they went to St. Paul's Cathedral, West Minster Abbey, and St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. In Edinburgh, they stopped at John Knox's house. In Italy, the couple spent considerable time in churches everywhere, including attending the 234th anniversary of the dedication of St. Peters in Rome on November 11, 1860. On December 7, the Pattons were at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Rome where they saw the Pope. In addition to church activities, the Pattons took time to see the sights of the countries they visited: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. Highlights included the Crystal Palace in London, Covent Garden market, Hampton Court, Kew Gardens, Sir John Soame's museum, and Madame Tussaud's. In Switzerland, they rode horses to an elevation of 8,150 feet to see a glacier and in Italy, they went to several art galleries. The Pattons spent a few hours with the American sculptor, Hiram Powers, who had moved from the United States to Florence in 1837. They also saw the leaning tower in Pisa and the ruins of Pompeii among other places. While in France, the Pattons saw Emperor Napolean II at the Bois de Bologne, and visited the Lourve, the Gobelian Tapestry works, Versailles, and Napoleon I's tomb. The Pattons met or saw many well known 19th century figures. Mary offered insightful remarks on the people as well as the places visited. She also provided commentary on political events. Mary noted the election of Abraham Lincoln and wrote about the progress of Garibaldi, the Italian patriot and guerilla leader.
