ANNUAL REPORTOF THE

Historical and Philosophical Societyof Ohio for 1914

LIBRARIAN'S REPORTCINCINNATI, DECEMBER 7, 1914.

Mr. President and Members of the Society:There has been no special event during this year marking

the history of the library of the Society. As in previous years,numerous volumes and pamphlets have been added and theprogress made in the cataloguing, classifying and general adjust-ment of the Collection compares favorably with the work ac-complished in the past. We have continued the issue of ourquarterly publication (now in its ninth year) and the laborattached thereto absorbs much of the librarian's time.

The accessions acquired during the year are as follows: 83volumes contributed; 33 volumes purchased from the MargaretRives King fund; 14 from the Elizabeth Haven Appleton fund;2 from the Society of the Colonial Dames' fund; 15 from theGeneral fund; 48 volumes added by binding pamphlets andperiodicals; and 10 volumes added by exchange for duplicateperiodicals in the collection. This addition of 205 volumes tothe 26007 volumes reported last year, increases the total numberof titles in our library to 26212. The pamphlets donated number1006, and those bought 67. The principal portion of the latterrelate to Cincinnati or other localities in Ohio.

Among the volumes secured in exchange for duplicate peri-odicals are: Ohio at Vicksburg; Pioneer Preacher, by Milburn;Notable Men of Cincinnati; History of the Presbyterian Churchat Trenton, N. J.; History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties,Pa.; History of Dayton and Montgomery County, Ohio; The

105

First Reformed Protestant Church at Albany, N. Y.; ChristianCommunion by Isaac Watts, 1st American ed.; and a number ofperiodicals.

We were fortunate this year in securing, by purchase, thefirst 15 volumes of the Cincinnati Daily Commercial, therebymaking our set much more complete. The titles to some otherpurchases are:—

Original Narrative Series—Indian Wars, and WitchcraftCases, 2 vols.;

Heitman's Revised Edition of Historical Register of Officersof the Continental Army;

Powell's Democratic Party of Ohio;Fortier's History of Louisiana;Trevelyan's George the Third and Charles Fox, v. 2;Smith's Wars between England and America;Patton's Political Parties in the United States;Phillips' Life of Robert Toombs;Johnson's Life of Stephen A. Douglas;Rothert's History of Muhlenberg County, Ky.;Doyle's General William Von Steuben;Writings of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 3;Williams' Welsh in Columbus, Ohio;Williams' Life of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, 2v.;Memorial Manual of Congregational Church at Mansfield,

Ohio, 1882;Autobiography of Oliver Otis Howard;Parton's Life of Andrew Jackson, 3v.;Peck's Jacksonian Epoch;Davidson's History of Battery A, 1st Regt. Ohio V. L. A.;Battle of Springhill, Tenn., by Shellenberger;Garfield's Place in History, by H. C. Pedder;Hansbrough's The Wreck, an historical and critical study of

the Administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and William HowardTaft;

Town Records of Norwich, Conn. (Vital statistics);Vols. 33 to 45 inclusive, of the Collections of the Essex In-

stitute, thus making complete our set, consisting of 49 volumes.Mr. Charles T. Greve presented the Society with three

volumes, 25 x 22 inch, in size, of Surveyors' Maps of Cincin-nati, issued in 1891; also a copy of "Who is Who in and fromOhio; A History of the State," 2 folio vols., published 1910.

106

We have received a copy of the "Life and Public Servicesof J. Glancy Jones," 2 vols., by Charles Henry Jones. This is avaluable contribution to American history. It contains, besidesmuch other historical matter, numerous letters written by himand his political associates, and in the Appendix we find hisdiplomatic correspondence while he was Minister to Austria.This is the gift of Mr. Richmond L. Jones of Reading, Pa.

A copy of "Notes on the Life of Noah Webster," 2 vols.,compiled by a granddaughter, Mrs. Emily Ellsworth Fowler Ford,and edited by her daughter, Mrs. Emily Ellsworth Ford Skeel,has been given by the latter to the Society. This publication,another work of historic value, contains Webster's diary keptduring the larger portion of his life, many of his letters andthose of his correspondents, as well as a very interesting accountof his life.

Information regarding the lives of our early pioneers isalways particularly acceptable, and the gift of a short sketch ofthe life of Colonel Oliver Spencer, by the author, Weston SpiesGales (a descendant), is a welcome addition to the library. It isstated that Col. Spencer was a native of East Haddam, Con-necticut, but moved early to New Jersey, where he married thedaughter of Robert Ogden. After serving with distinction as anofficer in the Revolution, he came with his family to Columbia,now a part of Cincinnati. He was Judge of Probate for Ham-ilton County in 1790, and during the same year, GovernorSt. Clair appointed him Colonel of the first Regiment of Militiaever organized at Miami. The account by his son, Rev. OliverM. Spencer, of his own capture by Indians in the vicinity ofCincinnati, is probably a familiar narrative to most of ourcitizens.

We have received No. 8 of the "Original Papers," issued bythe Wisconsin History Commission, bearing the title "An Ar-tilleryman's Diary by Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Private Sixth Wis-consin Battery." This embraces a period of three years of thewriter's life, to which is added in a preface by the Rev. JenkinsLloyd Jones (author), a short account of his life before andafter his army service to the present time. Numerous otherpublications have been given—too many for special mention.We are indebted to the Canadian Archivist; to the Royal Societyof Canada; to the University of Toronto; to American HistoricalAssociations and Universities and to other individual givers.
