Prepared in the Interests
of Book Collecting at the
University of M ichigan
[Ap! 1950
Report of the ClementsLibrary Assodates,I948-49
For a good many years, th e Library has marked April I , MrClements' birthday, in some specialmanner. It is natural, therefore , tocall April 1 Founder's Day and tocontinue, in more recen t years. thecustom of inviting Mr Clem ents' andthe Library's friends to mee t. Usually, a short talk by someone whoknew Mr Clements, or by someonewhose interests 'were closely all ied tohis, preceded the tea. In 1949, wewere fortunate in securing HerbertG. Watkins, Secretary of the University , as guest speaker.
Simultaneously, we exhibited thepurchases made during the lirsteighteen months of T he ClementsLibrary Associates. T h e Library hasbeen aware of its friends for a longtime. Vet th e exhib it inauguratedon April I, 1949, impressed on theLibrary, as nothing had before, theextent of T he Associates' generosity.They contributed, in a year and ahalf, more than $12,000 in gifts ofbooks and manuscripts, special purchases, and du es. It has bee n a heartwarming experience to know thefr iendsh ip of The Associates.
The membership of The ClementsLi brary Associates stood at 419,whe n the fiscal year ended- an increase of nearly 1()() members overthe preceding year. In J anuary andMay, the Executive Committee ofThe Associates purchased sixteenbooks , manuscripts, and an originaldrawing for th e Librar y. These acqui sitions are described in the present issue of T he Quarto .
Invi tation s were sent to all Associates in the fall of 1948 invitingthem to visit the Library's exhibitcalled "A Freedom Train for Michigan:' This series of great Americandocumen ts was viewed by a largenumber of Associates, particularlyon Saturdays hefore the foo tball
games. April 1 brough t a largegroup of Associates and fri ends ofth e Library for th e Found er 's Daycelebration. On a third occasion ,Jun e i o, Associates and alumni wereinvited to inspect a special exhibitof recen t gifts to the Library.
Two issues of The Quarto (Nos.17 and 18) were sent to Associatesduri ng the year. The first was devoted to th e gift by Associate GeorgeMa tthew Adams of New York, ofh is R. B. Cunninghame Grahamcollec tion. T he Quarto carried anessay on Graham by Hereward T.Pr ice, and an essay and checkli st ofth e collection by Hildegarde Braun .The second number of The Quortocon tained the annual report of TheAssociates an d descriptions of eigh trare books and manuscripts bo ughtby The Associates for the Libra ryin 1947-1948.
The speaker at the twe nty-fifthanniversary celebration in Ju ne.1948, was Lawr ence C. Wroth of theJ ohn Ca rt er Brown Library. DrWroth's address, enti tled A T ributeto the Clements Library, comprisedBu lletin 54 in the Li brary's series.Some American Bibles was the titl eused for Bulletin 55; it was preparedin honor of the visi t of a group ofMethodist ministers meeting in AnnArbor. Special l imited edi tions ofeach bulletin were printed for TheAssociates. Several reprints and offprints of articles by staff members,or results of investigations carriedout in the Library, were di stributedto T he Associates during the year.
The Finandal ReportThe balance of The Clements Li
brary Associates Trust Fund on JulyI, 1948, stood a t $1080. During thefiscal year July I , 1948, to J une 30,1949, contributions to The Associates amounted to $4020. Operatingexpenses during the year were $90.
Printing charged agains t T he Associates was $250. Purchases for theLibra ry were ~3 160'38. The balanceat th e end of June, 1949, was
1544.62.
Enter, Three PlaysWe have heard weeps and wails
occasionally about the death of th edrama and , since we read T he N ewYorker, we think sometimes that theobsequi es must be overdue. But weare naturally skep tical of immediatedangers. Also. we remember thatthere was a time when the stage wasa glory and acting an art. It was funwhile it lasted.
W ith the continued help of Associate Mrs H er bert C. Ely, we haveadded r ichly to our collection of rareAmerican drama in the Herbert C.Ell' Memorial Coll ection. Last year ,we secured a cop y of Shakespeare'sT welfth N igh t (Boston [ 1794]) , thefirst American edilion and the firstShakespearean play printed and produced in Ameri ca. Shor tly after T h eAssociates had given us T welfth;"'ight, the play was produced at theLydia Mendelssohn Theatre, herein An n Arbor. T he Director of theLibra ry took an afte rnoo n off toconsort with the players. Malvolio,Viola , and Sir Toby Belch, and to
show them our newly found treasure. [The production was restagedon Broadway las t fall, wi th the sameprincipals, and met wi th some success.]
In the mundane (uon-Shakespea rean) theatre. we received T om boChiqui: or T he American Savage,by Louis Francois Le Drevetiere,published in Lo ndon in 1758. I tcontains a fascinating and implausible idea buried in claptrap, theRousseauesque thesis that the Indian savage in a state of nature isno bler than the polished Europeangent leman. T his attempt to present
a contemporary idea in terms ofthe drama (translated, incidentally,by the author of the immortal FannyH ill, John Cleland) is not withoutmerit. What the merits are, we shan'tsay. However, it is one of a seriesof plays presenting contemporaryconflicts which includes UncleTom's Cabin, Win terset, and Crythe Beloved Country.
Of a somewhat different natureis another acquisition, an anony~
mous farce The Better Sort : or, Th eGirl of Sp irit, An Operatical, Comical FaTCe, printed at Boston byIsaiah Thomas & Co., in 1789.(Isaiah Thomas, the great American printer-publisher-author-phiIanthropist, was the subject of TlteQuarto, No. 20) The author of TheBetter Sort remarks in the first lineof his Preface, "The thirst for Novelty is unextinguishable." He thenproceeds to use a melange of oldjapes in which there was no novelty,even in 1789, interspersed with songswhich the "Sweet Singer of Michigan" could have bettered. Witnessthe following:
"In the state of marriageThere is dissimulation,
A proud and saucy carriageWill cause a disputation.
"Yet 'tis 'honey, love, and dear/Whenever we do come near
But, lack-a-dayl I fear'Tis 'no such thing' at home."
Fakes, Forgeries, andReal Ones
The National Society of Autograph Collectors will exhibit a collection of fakes and forgeries in theLibrary of Congress on May I and 2 .
The Director of the Clements Library, who is by way of being anexpert on the subject, is scheduledto lead a panel discussion on fakesand forgeries. This Library plans toexhibit a number of curiosities ithas gathered (deliberately, we arehappy to say) through the years, forthe -purpose of removing such materials from the market and to useas warning signals to our friendsthat the inexpert are often easilycaught. But the presence of a hand-
...
ful of fakes and forgeries in theClements Library does not meanthat we suspect all of our collections.
Indeed, The Associates have justgiven us four "genuwine, aw-thentick" autograph letters signed andone fine original drawing. The letters, arranged chronologically, werewritten by Alexander McDougall:Jonathan Trumbull: William Alexander, Lord Stirling; and JamesMonroe. The McDougalf letter, toNathanael Greene on March 24,J780, comprises his reHections on theimportance to the American causeof trouble in Ireland. The letterfrom Trumbull to Richard Varick,June 29, 1781, is tanralizing, for itis cautiously worded (Varick hadbeen cleared of complicity withArnold in the attempt to surrenderWest Point to the Bri tish) yet holdshints of important moves afoot.Of course, what was in the windwas the American-French offensivewhich led to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown later in the year.
Central New York slate is moreconscious than the rest of .the COUIl
try that the Revolutionary War wasnot confined to the Atlantic coast.Part of the story of fighting west ofAlbany is told in a two-page letterfrom "Villiam Alexander, Lord Stirling, to H enry Glin, dated October26, 1781. It contains the earliestreference we have come across to
the indecisive battle on October 25between the British under MajorJohn Rosa and the Americans underColonel Marinus Willett. Lord Stirling thought Wilfett had lost theengagemen t, whereas he had chasedthe British from the field .
The letter by James Monroe (August 30, 1812) refers to a real disaster,one which affected Michigan directly. Monroe was secretary of War,when this letter was written, andthe "Var of ,812 was being foughtvigorously. In the letter, Monroe'wrote, "T he disaste r at Detroit hasfix'd an impression on the nationalcharacter which must be removed."Apparently, in the early nineteenthcentury, what happened in Detroitwas important to the nation. evenas it is today.
The original drawing presentedby The Associates is a monochromewash ske tch entitled " View of theCarrison at Toronto or York UpperCanada, with part of the Houseson the road to the Town of Toronto-March r r th 1805." The artist isunidentified, but that docs not detract from the desirability of thedrawing, A number of years ago, theLibrary acquired, as a gift from agroup of Detroiters, a portfolio oforiginal watercolor drawings byEdward Walsh, a surgeon with theBritish Anny. Among Walsh'ssketches, there is another view ofToronto which is now supplemented by our new acqrrisftfon,Both of the views arc especially desirable to us because of the Library 'scollection of John Graves SimcoePapers. It was Simcoe, as lieutenantgovernor .of Upper Canada, who established Toronto as his capitol city.
Various and SundryBooks selected by The Associates
are often widely separated by timeand subject matter, yet they are allAmericana. More importantly, eachof them was secured because it fillsa gap in an existing collection. Forinstance, during the last war, theimportance of logistics was impressed on the American mind veryforcefully. We stiU think of materiel as something vitally necessary.Therefore, anything that we canfind on the study of logistics duringearlier American wars has increasedinterest for us. The earliest of ournew book acquisitions from TIleAssociates is concerned with thisvery subject-nearly two hundredyears ago. It is an anonymous pamphlet entitled A Scheme to Drivethe French Out of All the Continentof A merica, published at Gloucesterwithout date [but 1754] . The pamphlet is slight, physically, but it contains a detailed plan for large scalemilitary operations involving simultaneous attacks on New Orleans andQuebec-with simple mopping upoperations to foUow. Especially interesting is the author's careful attention to methods of supplying

such a h uge enterprise with food ,clothing. and weapons of all sor ts.
Because of the large quantity ofbooks and manuscri pts re la ting tothe Cl inton-Cornwallis co n troversy(over who was responsible for theBr it ish defeat at Yorktown ). we havealwa ys fancied the Li brary to he akin d of Clin to n-Cornwallis CO Il
sen 'a w ry. In fact , we thoug ht wehad covered th e field pretty thoruugh ly. However, to our delig h t, wetu rn ed up another vo lu me in theseries wh ich has no t been prev io uslyrepresented here. T he Pangs of aPatr iot; ex pressed in a L etter to a
Xoblrnum , upon th e U n for tu nateCap tu re of Lord Co vmooll is (London, 1i82 ), was not in our holding-suntil The Associa tes ca me to th erescue and placed th e alliterat ivetitle o n our shelves.
The third pamphlet in the serieso f gifts is so scarce that it is a lmostunknown . It is one of th e ea rliestaCCOUllts of the first of fou rteen pro~
j eered pain tings by J ohn T ru mbullon America n su bjects. A pparen tly a.separate pa mp hle t for each of thepa inungs was intended. but we havebeen able to locate o nly th e presen to ne which . although bearing the imprint " Lon dres, I , 86: ' was wri tt enin French: Precis H istorique su r laBat ai lte de B u nk ers-H ill . . . jJOw'serniv d'explication au premier desX II' T u blenux prints /)0)" leColon el Tru mbull T he year thispamphlet was issued , two pain tings(" Ba tt le o f Bunker 's Hi ll " and" Dea th of General Montgomery inth e Attack o f Quebec") were on exh ib itio n in London and on the Co ntinent.
No t lo ng ago, the newspa pers carried a no tice that the last pensione rfrom the ' Var of 181 2 had been paidfor the last time. T he phenomenonof pensions for wars is no longer aphenomeno n ; it is merel y normal.In earlier times, there was no gen~
era l coverage for all who joined theArmy; eac h case was consideredseparately on the needs (a nd influence) of the ind ivid ual concerned .An evidence of thi s p ro cedure isfound in A Peti tion Presented byCopt, A lexa nder Patterson to th e

Combi n ing the U niversity's Gen.cral Li br ary an d Clem ents Libraryho ld ing-s, the \Var of 181 2 is ratherwell covered o n (~ampus. However ,we occasiona lly spot rarities th at a reno t represented in the U n iversi ty 'sco llec t ions-and once in a wh ile wead d them to the L ibrary.

practi ca lly hai r-raising. T he otherthree bat tles (Ch ippeway, Bal t imore,and New Orleans) are eq ually welltold. There is no descri p tion , however , of the fiasco at Detroi t.
The fina l vo lume selected by TheAssociat es is a puzzler . It is L esPet its Voyageurs e l l Col iiovni c,Tours, 1853, by H . de Chavannesde la Gira nd ierc.

O n Au gust 2j , in th e year 1818, the first stea mboatseen by Detroiters slipped next to Austin ' Vin g's wharfa nd bega n to u nload her passengers and cargo. TheFre nc h h abi tants ,vho had watched her approach th evillage though t she ,vas an inven ti on o f th e Devil , andthe Indi ans gull ib ly beli eved that she was h aul ed upthe r iver by fish in harness.

Some years ago th e Library received a goua che andpen sketch of the "Walk-in-th e-Wat er" in th e Detro itR iver.
