ANNUAL REPORT

Historical and Philosophical Societyof Ohio for 1915

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIANDuring the corporate year, closing this day, there has been a

fair improvement in the general condition of the library accom-plished by the usual methods of classifying, cataloguing andsuch other work as required in libraries, and through additionsto the collection by gifts, purchases, exchanges and the bindingof pamphlets and periodicals.

The volumes contributed number 153; those acquired bypurchase, 57; by exchange and binding, 81. Together theyamount to 289, which added to the total number of volumesreported last year—26212—makes the present total 26503.Pamphlets donated this year number 1271.

The accessions secured by purchase are: 30 volumes and 2pamphlets credited to the Margaret Rives King fund; 25 vol-umes to the Elizabeth Haven Appleton fund; 2 to the Societyof Colonial Dames fund. Those obtained by exchange number6; by binding, 67; and 8 small volumes, that had sufficientbindings, were withdrawn from the pamphlets and placedamong the volumes. With the exception of 2, the pamphletsacquired this year were gifts to the library—a portion given inexchange for our Quarterlies. Besides the periodicals sub-scribed for annually, numerous odd numbers of similar pub-lications, needed in our library to complete imperfect sets, arebeing added, thereby gradually perfecting the sets.

"Letters of Zachary Taylor from the Battle-Fields of theMexican War";

"Inventory of the Contents of Mount Vernon, 1810".Two manuscripts from his Jefferson collection—one of these

is inserted here in full as it was drawn up by citizens ofthis city and is their testimonial to the integrity and goodcharacter of the Hon. John Smith, U. S. Senator fromOhio, 1803-1808, when his name was being associatedwith the Aaron Burr conspiracy. It reads:"Cincinnati January 14th 1807. A number of the Cit-izens of Cincinnati having met for the purpose of express-ing the general sentiments that prevail here at this time,David Zeigler was called to the chair, and Isaac G. Burnetappointed Secretary. Doctor John Sellman, Mr. AndrewBurt, & Doctor Edward H. Stall were chosen as a com-mittee to prepare resolutions to be laid before a generalmeeting of the inhabitants at Griffin Yeatmens tomorrowevening at seven o'clock.—•

Pursuant to a very general notice, a large number of themost respectable citizens of Cincinnati assembled at Mr.Yeatmans Hotel on the evening of the 15th instant, andthe whole committee reported the following address andresolutions which were adopted without a dissenting voice.

To Thomas Jefferson President of the United States.Sir, The citizens of Cincinnati impressed with esteem andveneration for you are encouraged by it to take the libertyof addressing you on a subject they have at heart. Theyare aware that not a little of your valuable time is wastedby trivial and officious representations; but being con-vinced that the true interests of your Country and thehealth of its members are the primary sources of yourpublic actions, they trust that the present address and theresolutions accompanying it will not be deemed officiousor unacceptable.Resolved. That this meeting feels the highest confidencein the principles and efficiency of a republican form ofgovernment as guaranteed to us by the Constitution ofthe United States.

118

Resolved. That we view the rising prosperity and hap-piness of the western country with pleasure and satisfac-tion and our connection with the Union as the surestpalladium of our liberties and rights and we execrate astraitorous every attempt to sever or weaken it.Resolved. That we have the most entire confidence inthe patriotism and political integrity of the HonorableJohn Smith and it is the opinion of this meeting that hischaracter has been maliciously traduced by misrepre-sentations to the President of the United States, whichhave implicated him in the designs of Colonel Aaron Burr.Resolved. That in the opinion of this meeting the reso-lution of the Legislature of this State requesting theHonorable John Smith to resign his seat in the Senate ofthe United States has been procured by erroneous im-pressions, made on the minds of the individuals who com-pose that respectable body, by false and malicious senti-ments.Resolved. That the proceedings of this meeting be pub-lished in the Western Spy and a copy transmitted to thePresident of the United States, signed by the Chairmanand Secretary.

David Zeigler Chairman.""Isaac G. Burnet Secy.

The endorsement "Zeigler, David, Resol'ns, Cincinti,Jan. 14, '07, reed Feb. 4" is in the handwriting of Jefferson.

The other manuscript—gift of Mr. Bixby—is addressed to Ex-President Thomas Jefferson, dated Warren County near Leb-anon, Ohio, July 30th, 1824, signed by William Ludlow, Sec. forthe Society. This document begins: "From the common stocksociety of the Ration Brethren and the Church of God in union."Six closely written pages are devoted to an account of the viewsof the society and aims for benefitting mankind by formingcommunities holding property in common. He states that theyhave purchased land on Coal Creek near the Wabash in Indiana,and are about to move there. The Articles of this Associationare upon the County Records of Butler Co., Bk. F. pp. 41-45,and are followed by certified statements of property belongingto Wm. Ludlow, Israel Ludlow and James M. Dorsey, trans-ferred to the Rational Brethren of Oxford, with certain restric-

119

tions. Copy of these entries of record are in the McBride Papersof the Manuscript Collection belonging to the Society. WilliamLudlow was elected to the Ohio Legislature from three differentCounties, Hamilton, Butler and Franklin; he was one of theCommissioners appointed by the State to select and locate thecollege township and was president of the Board of Trustees ofthe Miami University. He may have removed from this State,but his brother, Israel Ludlow remained in this locality. Thelatter was an original proprietor of Cincinnati and one of themost important men of this section. James M. Dorsey was forawhile associated with the Miami University.

We are indebted to the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker for sixvolumes, in attractive morocco bindings, of his political speeches,covering a period of about forty-five years, 1869-1913.
