religious matters, and personal affairs. Many of the items are letters of

introduction. There is also information on John Vaughan’s immigration

to America, Joseph Priestley, vaccines and inoculation (with Jefferson's

comments on the same), Vaughan's business in Philadelphia, and the

by E. W. Madeira, gathered in the course of his research on Vaughan

in the 1930s. Series II consists of three volumes. Included are two of

Vaughan's commonplace books. One, entitled, "J. Vaughan's book," May

17, 1779 (47 pp., in Latin; 870/L34), includes mostly Latin notations. The

other commonplace book, dated 1783 (ca. 66 pp.; B V 462.c), includes

comments on several prominent Americans, such as Benjamin Rush

and David Rittenhouse, as well as American society generally. The

third volume is a copybook with thirty letters spanning the period 1784

to 1801 (B V462.1). Series III includes material relating to Vaughan's

administration of the estate of the Philadelphia merchant Samuel Merrick,

1796-1822 (Vaughan-Merrick Papers, B V462.m; 2 boxes). Series IV

consists of correspondence between Vaughan and the DuPont Co. for

which he served as agent (B V462.4; photocopies of 73 letters).

Background note

John Vaughan (1756–1841, APS 1784) was a wine merchant, philanthropist, and long-time treasurer andlibrarian of the American Philosophical Society. A native of England, Vaughan moved to Philadelphiain 1782. He soon was one of the most respected members of Philadelphia society, largely because of histireless support of numerous literary, scientific and benevolent causes. Over the course of his five decadesof service to the American Philosophical Society, Vaughan met and corresponded with many eminentAmericans and Europeans.

John Vaughan was born in London, England, in 1756. He was one of eleven children of Samuel Vaughan,a London merchant and West India planter, and Sarah Hallowell, daughter of Benjamin Hallowell, aBoston merchant and founder of Hallowell, Maine. Vaughan grew up in a liberal household. The familyattended religious services by the dissenting minister and political radical Richard Price (1723-1791,APS 1785). His older brothers, Benjamin Vaughan (1751-1835, APS 1786), who became a prominentdiplomat and political reformer, and William Vaughan, who eventually served as the promoter of theLondon docks, resided with the dissenter Joseph Priestley (1733-1804, APS 1785) during their studies atthe Warrington Academy. John apparently attended Palgrave School, a popular school for boys foundedby the poet and essayist Anna Letitia Barbauld (1743-1825) and her husband, the Reverend RochemontBarbault.

In 1776, in preparation for a mercantile career, John Vaughan was sent abroad, first to Jamaica, wherehe spent one year, and then to France, where he arrived in 1778. While working for a merchant housein Bordeaux, Vaughan became acquainted with Benjamin Franklin and his grandson William TempleFranklin (1760-1823, APS 1786). After the conclusion of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce betweenthe United States and France, Vaughan, who, as a British subject, was faced with possible arrest ordeportation, declared himself an American. However, when he was unable to receive from the Americanminister a certificate to that effect, he removed to Spain. In 1782 Vaughan came to the United States. Hesettled in Philadelphia, where he became a prosperous wine merchant.

Vaughan almost immediately dedicated much of his energy and resources to the American PhilosophicalSociety. He became a member in 1784, treasurer in 1791, and librarian in 1803, serving in these postsuntil his death in 1841. In his five decades of service under the presidencies of David Rittenhouse(1732-1796, APS 1768), Thomas Jefferson, Caspar Wistar (1761-1818, APS 1787), Robert M. Patterson(1787-1854, APS 1809), William Tilghman (1756-1827, APS 1805) and Peter Stephen Du Ponceau(1760-1844, APS 1791), Vaughan kept the society’s books and accounts, oversaw its publications,and carried on its extensive correspondence. He diligently worked to expand the society’s collectionsthrough requests for private donations, exchanges of material, and appeals to European and Americanlearned societies to donate their publications. (Vaughan eventually bequeathed his own library of 600volumes to the society.) In 1824 he compiled a catalog for the library which he hoped would one daybecome a National Library. He also acquired the catalogs of other libraries so that scholars working inthe Philosophical Society would know what was available elsewhere. Vaughan contributed generously tothe construction of Philosophical Hall, and in 1795 he made a subscription toward the proposed westernexpedition of the French botanist André Michaux (1749-1802).

John Vaughan was not a scholar or scientist himself. However, he encouraged and supported the work ofscholars, especially those interested in Native American linguistics and ethnohistory, like his friend DuPonceau. He obviously enjoyed the company and friendship of “learned men,” and he worked activelyto introduce scholars to each other, either through his correspondence or personally. For example, hehosted Sunday breakfasts for visitors to Philadelphia, and he was a regular at the so-called Wistar Parties,that brought together companies of scholars for more formal gatherings. After 1822 Vaughan did notjust work in Philosophical Hall; he also resided there. He had already been renting for several years thecellar for the storage of his wines and liquors. He now established his home in rooms formerly occupiedby the studio and gallery of the painter Thomas Sully (1783-1872, APS 1835). In 1823, Sully painted thelibrarian’s portrait.

Vaughan was well-known to the citizens of Philadelphia. His reputation as a generous and “good” manwas due not only to his work with the Philosophical Society, but also to his untiring commitment to bepatron to all deserving young men. Indeed, Jared Sparks (1789-1866, APS 1837) described him as a“recommender-general of all schoolmasters, inventors, young men just entering on their professions, andevery sort of personage, whose characters are good, and who can be benefited by his aid.” In 1838 a groupof admirers founded the “Vaughan Club” to honor their friend. Members were required to bring a bottleof the finest and rarest wine to their annual meetings. The meeting could not be adjourned until everybottle had been consumed.

Vaughan was particularly admired for his philanthropic activities. “Who is there here who does not knowMr. John Vaughan?,” asked the Boston Daily Courier in the fall of 1841, when Vaughan was in his lateeighties. “His doctrine is good works, and his practice squares with it.” He was an active member of theFirst Congregational Unitarian Church, where he occasionally occupied the pulpit. He also belongedto many local learned and philanthropic societies, and he served as officer in most. He was presidentof the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, president of the Society of Sons of St.George, a director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, vice president of the Athenaeum ofPhiladelphia, a trustee of the Unitarian Society, and a councilor of the Historical Society of Pennsylvaniaand the Athenian Institute. Furthermore, he was secretary and treasurer of the Philadelphia Chamberof Commerce, a director of the Insurance Company of North America and of the Delaware InsuranceCompany; and an agent of the firm of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company.

In 1841 Vaughan, who never married, died in his rooms in Philosophical Hall. The beneficiaries of hisbequest included his friend Jacob Snider, Jr., who had been brought up by Vaughan, as well as variouslearned and philanthropic societies, including the APS. His funeral was attended by numerous respectedcitizens and representatives of the charitable and learned institutions he had supported during his life.A printed card that was circulated among those in attendance described John Vaughan simply as a man“Who went about doing good.”

Vaughan’s fifty years of service to the Philosophical Society were overshadowed by the discovery afterhis death that he had mingled the Society’s funds with his own. As a result, the Philosophical Societynever published a biographical memoir of its long-term librarian and treasurer.

Series I: Correspondence 1768-1922 c. 850 items.


This series includes c. 500 letters to or from John Vaughan formerly in Miscellaneous Manuscripts

(Misc. Ms.); c. 280 letters from the Madeira-Vaughan Collection; three letters purchased from Fleming;

Aug. 22, 1962 (formerly B V462.2); one letter presented by Earl E. Moore; Feb. 1965 (formerly B

V462.3); and one letter with accession number 1981 45 ms (formerly B V462.5). There are also 2 boxes

of Miscellaneous notes gathered by Edward W. Madeira during the course of his research on John

Vaughan in the 1930s.

Arrangement note

The letters are arranged chronologically. The "Miscellaneous notes by E. W. Madeira" are boxed

separately.

This series consists of c. 850 letters as well as miscellaneous notes and papers. It covers the period from

1782 to 1922, with the bulk dating to the 1780s to 1840s. The series also includes miscellaneous letters

of members of the Madeira family to or from many prominent individuals, dated between 1890 and

1922. Most of the few essays and notes in this collection were not authored by Vaughan but instead

seem to have been copied from other sources. This includes, for example, “Rules for a New Settlement

in Cuba” (October 1809). Also included in this series are two boxes (“Miscellaneous notes, etc. by E.

W. Madeira”) with material related to Madeira’s research on John Vaughan. They include copies of

Vaughan letters, research notes, inventories of Vaughan letters in Madeira’s possession, biographical

essays, as well as correspondence with various individuals, including librarians and editors, contacted by

Madeira in the course of his research. Madeira assembled this material in the 1930s.

Vaughan was a well-connected individual who corresponded widely and actively with many individuals

in the United States and abroad. Among the writers and recipients of letters in this series are George

Washington, John Jay, Aaron Burr, Joseph Priestley, Edward Everett Hale, Thomas Jefferson, John

Adams, John Quincy Adams, Washington Irving, Harriet Martineau, Richard Peters, Jr., Agnes

Repplier, Roger B. Taney, Edmond Genet, Jared Sparks, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Daniel

Webster. There are also numerous letters from family members, especially his brother William. That

John Vaughan enjoyed a reputation as a charitable man is reflected in the many letters of introduction,



- Page 12 -

requests for assistance, and notes of appreciation for gifts that he received throughout his more than four

decades as secretary, librarian, and treasurer of the APS.

The topics covered in the letters are as varied as the correspondents; they range from politics to science,

from mutual acquaintances to religious matters, from philanthropic concerns to business affairs. One

topic is, for example, vaccination. There is a subscription list for a publication on vaccination (27

April 1803), a letter by Vaughan to Jefferson that accompanied several copies of the publication (28

April 1803), and a letter by Benjamin Waterhouse in which he discusses the difficulty of promoting

vaccination among the residents of Boston. Waterhouse reports that his effort to inoculate have been met

“with the blackest ingratitude from those very persons for whose benefit I labor the most” (9 May 1803).

A few of the letters from John Vaughan to Thomas Jefferson (some of which are photocopies) deal with

matters pertaining to the American Philosophical Society. There is, for example, a letter that requests

the President of the United States to affix his signature to membership certificates of the APS (8 May

1804). In another letter Vaughan informs Jefferson that Mr. Peale, Dr. Collin, Dr. Fothergill, and “the

famous Dr. Humboldt” and his two companions will be taking copies of the Transactions with them on

their planned trip to Washington (29 May 1804).

Several of Jefferson's letters deal with matters pertaining to the University of Virginia, including one

in which he discusses the progress in its construction (8 March 1820). Another letter refers to the seal

that Dr. Cooper had made for the university by the engraver Robert Lovett (9 April 1820). Jefferson

subsequently explained the meaning of the elements incorporated in the seal, including a Minerva (24

April 1820). That the university was initially not in a position to hire “special professors” is evident

from a letter in which Jefferson explains the limited annuity and large debt with which the institution

was burdened in its early days (8 April 1821).

Many of the letters in the collection from Jefferson to Vaughan deal with publications and other objects

Jefferson hoped to procure with Vaughan’s assistance. Most interesting in this regard is a letter in which

Jefferson lays out his plans to restock his personal library which he had donated to Congress after the

“destruction of the Capitol and library at Washington” (1 March 1815). Jefferson also secured the

assistance of Stephen Girard and several individuals in France to help with the purchase of books (11, 15

and 30 July 1815). Jefferson regularly asked Vaughan to acquire books for him. In 1817, for example,

Jefferson wrote to Vaughan that “the season for my annual call for books and wines from France” was

now recurring (7 June 1817, also 8 April 1818). Many of the letters include financial information about

Jefferson’s orders, including the funds he planned to spend on books and wine. Jefferson’s last letter

in the collection alludes to his financial difficulties that were due to his “unskillful stewardship,” as he

explained. It introduces his grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, who was charged with selling part

of his grandfather’s property (24 March 1826). Vaughan occasionally turned to Jefferson for assistance,



- Page 13 -

as he did when he asked for help in securing employment in the Navy for Caspar Wistar’s son (10

November 1822).

That Jefferson was not the only one who relied on Vaughan’s help is illustrated by many items in this

series. Noteworthy in this regard are the letters from Louisa Catherine and John Quincy Adams. The

couple asked Vaughan to procure two indentured servants for them, including “a Woman not to be

under twenty and the Boy about fourteen.” Mrs. Adams subsequently thanked Vaughan for the “German

Woman and Boy” he was “so obliging to purchase” for her (October and November 1817).

A particularly interesting letter by John Adams describes Joseph Priestley as “Certainly one of the

greatest Men in the World, and certainly one of the weakest” (23 November 1813). John Vaughan and

his brother Benjamin were instrumental in bringing their friend and mentor Priestley to the United

States. Several letters in this series, including some by Joseph Priestley, Jr., testify to their friendship.

A number of letters reflect Vaughan’s commitment to philanthropic interests and activities, including a

school for the blind. Lydia H. Sigourney offered several stanzas in recognition of “that noble institution

for the Blind, which owes so much to [Vaughan’s] benevolent interest” (4 October 1838), and the letter

by Richard Henry Lee applauds Vaughan for the accomplishments of the school of which Vaughan was

considered a founder (undated). There are also letters that refer to the efforts of Jabob Snider, Jr., on

behalf of the blind, including his plan to print a bible for their use (Preston to Snider, [20?] May 1834;

Friedlander to Willig, 8 October 1834).

A particularly interesting item Among the letters related to Vaughan’s involvement with the Unitarian

Church is one by James Taylor, in which Taylor informs Vaughan of his failed attempt to get the pastor,

Dr. Furness, to give advance notice whenever he planned to preach on slavery or abolition (20 May

1841).

The collection includes a number of letters to or from Jacob Snider, Jr., who was brought up by

Vaughan and worked in his counting house (Will, 6 May 1837). Some of this material dates to the

period after Vaughan's death. This includes references to Snider’s successful rescue of “that poor

deluded girl [Elizabeth Legg ] from the clutches of … a villain,” a matter that is discussed in several

letters, including the ones by I. Shields, W. Sharp, and her sister Jane Legg (September 1844). A number

of additional items from and to Jacob Snider, Jr., also shed light on the legacy of the Vaughan brothers.

For example, Snider made a number of documents in the Vaughan bequest available to various people.

The letters by Jared Sparks refer to Sparks’s use of documents from the Benjamin Vaughan estate

(February and March 1851), and Washington Irving used an “orderly book of the American Army at

Valley Forge” (30 January 1850).

A document that sheds some light on the nature of the Vaughan Club, a social club that was founded

by several of John Vaughan’s friends in Philadelphia, is the “Club Song” that was prepared by the



- Page 14 -

“Committee of one” in 1839. A related item consists of verses written in honor of Vaughan’s 85th

birthday at the request of Snider. Vaughan was unable to take part in the celebration; “his place was

supplied with his portrait which was adorned with an appropriate wreath” (15 January 1841). There is

also an inventory and other documents relating to John Vaughan’s estate (1841; 2 February 1842; 7

January 1843), and will (6 May 1837). Vaughan’s friend Jared Sparks subsequently expressed the hope

that a “worthy person” would write a memoir of the well-liked Philadelphia merchant and philanthropist

(17 February 1851).

This volume was located among old papers of the society.

This volume, which was written shortly after Vaughan's arrival in Philadelphia, offers a variety

of information on a wide range of topics. There are, for example, remarks on many prominent

Americans, such as Rush, Rittenhouse, Priestley, Franklin, Washington and Jefferson, among others.

The entry on Rush, for example, list Rush's observation "whilst in the American army," a section

titled "Orrery" discusses Rittenhouse's telescope, a a few remarks on General Greene's "Military

genius." There are short notes and extended essays on topics such as the American Philosophical

Society, population numbers, the "Hygrometer," Congress, the state constitutions, and Sweden.


Series II: Volumes

- Page 143 -

The volume also contains much information pertaining to the U.S. for use by a merchant, such as

"commission of selling goods in Philadelphia," sailboats from New York to Florida, and "Wheat-

Expence of a cargo at London." There are also numerous entries concerning American culture,

society and economy. States that are discussed in particular detail include Virginia, Maryland,

Georgia, New York, and especially Pennsylvania.

Of interest is also an essay titled "Observations repecting the Indians," which focuses on diet and

diseases among Native Americans. A shorter entry deals with "Indian hostilities" and their causes.

At the end of the volume are notes about the government of Denmark and the "Dominions of

Britain." There is also an extract of a letter from Benjamin Rush, dated 1782, accompanied by a

newspaper clipping from 1783, and an extract from a letter by Alexander Hamilton regarding the

death of Major Andre, dated 1780.

volume.

The letters, which are not entered into the copybook in chronological order, were written by John

Vaughan between 1782 and 1801. The recipients include a number of prominent Americans, such

as John Jay, Joseph Priestley, Robert Fulton, and Henry Laurens. There are also several letters to

family members, including Samuel, William, and Benjamin Vaughan. The correspondece deals with

political, scientific, commercial, and personal matters.

Many of the letters shed light on Vaughan’s efforts to resolve a disagreement between John Jay

and Brockholst Livingston. The two men evidently differed in their accounts of what happened

to a number of dispatches from Jay to the Continental Congress when Vaughan and Livingston

were captured by an English frigate in 1782. Jay had entrusted to Vaughan several “Public

Dispatches” (March 18, 1786). A letter to Livingston confirms that Vaughan was instructed to throw

the packet of dispatches “overboard in case of danger” (June 27, 1786). The copybook includes

copies of two letters from Vaughan to Jay that were destroyed when Vaughan was captured (Feb. 26,

1782; March 5, 1782).

Several letters, including the one to Samuel Vaughan (May 22, 1790), deal with commercial matters,

such as trade regulations. The letters to Benjamin Vaughan deal with a range of topics, including

politics, scientific matters, and personal affairs. Several letters, for example, discuss challenges to


Series II: Volumes

- Page 144 -

the priority of invention of Mr. Ramsay’s “application of Steams to Navigations” (May 15, 24, June

4, 1788). The letter of June 4, 1788, also includes comments on the new government in Carolina,

notes on Joseph Priestley, and observations on Charles Willson Peale’s preparations to exhibit the

mammoth. Vaughan, who supported Priestley’s immigration to the United States, claimed not to

“be surprised if immigrations are consequent upon the Countenance given in England to illiberal

+ intolerant Sentiments religious + political” (Oct. 3, 1791). His letters to Priestley are filled with

sympathy for the “illiberal + unmanly Sentiments” expressed toward Priestley in England (October 3,

1791).

Of interest is also a letter to Robert Fulton, possibly erroneously dated July 23, 1801, six years

before Fulton's first successful run of a steamboat, in which Vaughan comments on an engraving of

a steamboat. Finally, two items reflect Vaughan’s efforts to improve his writing habits. In a letter to

Samuel Vaughan, he thanks him “for the hint about my letters which I shall improve upon” (Nov.

20, 1784), and on a different occasion, he offers his gratitude to Henry Laurens for “the kindness in

correcting an impropriety which had degenerated into habit” (May 10, 1786).

B V462.m Series III: Estate Papers

(Merrick)

1796-1822 2 boxes


B V462.m

This series includes papers relating to Vaughan's administration of the estate of Samuel Merrick, a

Philadelphia importer of cloth. The items, which are dated between 1796 and 1822, deal with Vaughan’s

efforts to settle Merrick’s accounts after his death in 1813. Many of the papers are receipts of shipments

and similar records. There are also letters from and to various British merchants with whom Merrick

was engaged in business. The items suggests that the settlement of Merrick’s estate was not an easy feat,

not only because of Merrick’s poor bookkeeping habits, but also since the efforts to settle the accounts

with British merchants coincided with the War of 1812. Of particular interest are the letters exchanged

between Vaughan, Joseph Dixon, and Joseph Asquith, written during the war. Some of their letters deal

with the interception of one of Dixon’s letters by an American privateer, and the subsequent publication

of it in a New England newspaper, under the heading “Smuggling and Treason.” Also of interest are

the letters by John Pershouse, who had volunteered as a security for Vaughan in the administration

of Merrick's estate. Pershouse blamed Vaughan for a lawsuit brought by one of Merrick’s creditors,

William Roberts.
