Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Bells of Paul Revere As to the component parts of bell metal, the proper proportion of Copper to tin (about 13 to 4) necessary to ensure the maximum resonance consistent with safe brittleness was well known to founders of the seventeenth century, although the law of atomic weights or chemical equivalents had not then been discovered. A knowl - edge of these fundamental laws, however, was not alone adequate to secure the production of a superior instrument; and if many of Revere s early bells must be allowed to be of inferior quality, this would be the natural result of his want of practical experience and early training; for without such qualifications he could hardly have evolved the various empirical rules and delicate processes by which the English founders had learned to mould that homogeneous, tenacious and elastic amalgam essential to the production of perfect vibration. For instance, it would appear that in fusing his metals he did not at first appreciate the importance of maintaining a comparatively low temperature in order to throw off, in the form of scoria or dross, certain impurities which are reduced by greater heat and thus retained within the amalgam, to the detriment of its soundproducing qualities. Nor could he have appreciated what has since been demonstrated, viz. The marked difference which exists in the brittleness and sonorous properties of both Copper and tin from individual mines. Moreover, none of his bells show traces of any attempt to correct errors of tone by grinding, now accomplished by machinery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paul Revere's Signal: The True Story of the Signal Lanterns in Christ Church, Boston Mr. Deane said that some of the members of the Society would remember an interesting communication which appeared some months ago (July 20) in the "Boston Daily Advertiser," entitled "Paul Revere's Signal: The true story of the signal lanterns in Christ Church, Boston." It was written by the Reverend John Lee Watson, D. D., formerly of Trinity Church in this city, and now residing in Orange, New Jersey; and took the ground that the person who hung out or displayed the lanterns on Christ Church Steeple, on the night of the 18th of April, 1775, was not Robert Newman, the sexton of the church, but John Pulling, a friend of Paul Revere. Dr. Watson's statement seemed to be conclusive, and to be fully concurred in by our historical friends. Mr. Deane said that Dr. Watson had sent to him a slip from the "Advertiser" containing his article, with some corrections and additions; and he now communicated it to the Society, believing that it would find an appropriate place in our Proceedings. Paul Revere's Signal: The True Story Of The Signal Lanterns In Christ Church, Boston. To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser: - It will be remembered by many persons in Boston, that, last year, in the Centennial celebration of the events of the night of April 18, 1775, it was stated by my friend, the esteemed Rector of Christ Church, Boston, that the signal lanterns which directed the movements of Paul Revere on that night were "hung out on the steeple of the Old North Church" by one Robert Newman, who, it was said, was then the sexton of that church.

Its occupants were those whom we associate with the Lowest Depth - ignorantly, because no one, not even a Hospital Nurse, has ever found the Lowest Depth. The people who frequent such a room seem at first as if they must be an interesting folk, from whose strange and varied experiences we might be led to expect whole mines of accumulated Wisdom and treasures of sagacity.

Download or read book Founding Myths written by Ray Raphael and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely praised following its initial publication, Founding Myths is a page-turner created out of the stuff of American history primers. Reexamining thirteen well-known tales from the American struggle for independence, the book documents the errors and inventions that permeate these cherished national myths - myths that are often still taught in American history classes - in what Baltimores City Paper calls a ''debunking that does not disappoint. ''Engaging and eye-opening (The Sacramento Bee), Ray Raphaels bold and provocative book reexamines the story of Paul Reveres midnight ride, which turns out to have involved far more than one rider; Patrick Henrys famous (and fictitious) ''Give Me Liberty speech; and the made-up character of Molly Pitcher, among many others. Raphael cleverly demonstrates how these stories evolved over time. And in each case, he offers an alternative version, one that is both more historically accurate and more in tune with our nations democratic ideals. For anyone who is curious about the true story of the nations founding, and for those searching for a genuine chronicle of democratic struggle, Founding Myths is American history at its truest and most vital.
