My Dear Maria: I received today from the post-master your very welcome letterand having this evening no other means at hand for killing the time have concluded to prepare a few lines in reply. The words included in the commas are such as according to the general language of mankind in relation to the state of feeling subsisting between man and wife I ought to address to you. After writing them down however I cannot let them stand without connecting with them an assurance that however it may be with others there is at least one husband who some eight years after marriage is fool enough to love his wife tenderly and well. I sympathize with Mr. Phillips and trust that you will pass the vacation without encountering those evils which Millee Strowd was threatened with. In Raleigh I met with little or nothing to interest me. The Geological Survey dies a natural death at the end of this year. There is no one who takes any interest in the business, nor, in the present state of the Treasury, did I find there was any the least prospect of succeeding in any application to the legislature and I therefore gave it up at once. I sent you 25 dollars by Dr. Caldwellat least it was to be paid into his hands by Mr. Devereaux for you. This you will pay into the hands of Mr. Cheek or at least sixteen dollars of it, if he gives up the paper I gave to Mr. Somebody Mi. Lloyd for corn, but not else. We left Raleigh on Friday about noon and rode to Smith- field having Mr. Devereaux' in company some of the way. We put up together at Rice's and passed a pleasant evening.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary of a Geological Tour by Dr. Elisha Mitchell in 1827 and 1828 Dear Sir: - At the request of my aunt, Miss Margaret Mitchell, I write a note to accompany a package of old letters, sent by this mail. In looking over some hundreds of old family letters, these records of Grandfather Mitchell's earlier tours in Western N. C. seemed, perhaps, to have some value for the Historical Society. They are written with care and method, and are ts he says, of the nature of a diary, in the vacations of 1827 and 1828, and, some, later, giving daily account of travel's over various counties, what mines he looked into, what minerals and geological features he saw, the kind of lands he passed over, and the people he met. If they prove to be of any use, please accept; if not, destroy them. If they reach you, please acknowledge to Miss Mitchell, at this place. She heard of the death of her old playmate, and long time friend, S. F. Phillips. Another break in the band of Mitchell's and Phillipse's. Four left, Mrs. Ashe, Miss Margaret, Mrs. Spencer, and Mrs. Laura Phillips. Mrs. Ashe is in the feeblest health, 81 years old. Miss M. enjoys good health but is slowly losing her sight, from cataract. The foregoing letter by a granddaughter of Dr. Mitchell explains the character of the letters now published as No.6 in the James Sprunt Monograph Series. It is deemed proper to prefix a short memoir of their author. Elisha Mitchell was born in Washington, Connecticut, August 19, 1793.His father, Abner by name, was a farmer.

Download or read book The Seven Hills of Rome written by Grant Heiken and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings, Rome became perhaps the greatest intercontinental power in the world. Why did this historic city become so much more influential than its neighbor, nearby Latium, which was peopled by more or less the same stock? Over the years, historians, political analysts, and sociologists have discussed this question ad infinitum, without considering one underlying factor that led to the rise of Rome--the geology now hidden by the modern city. This book demonstrates the important link between the history of Rome and its geologic setting in a lively, fact-filled narrative sure to interest geology and history buffs and travelers alike. The authors point out that Rome possessed many geographic advantages over surrounding areas: proximity to a major river with access to the sea, plateaus for protection, nearby sources of building materials, and most significantly, clean drinking water from springs in the Apennines. Even the resiliency of Rome's architecture and the stability of life on its hills are underscored by the city's geologic framework. If carried along with a good city map, this book will expand the understanding of travelers who explore the eternal city's streets. Chapters are arranged geographically, based on each of the seven hills, the Tiber floodplain, ancient creeks that dissected the plateau, and ridges that rise above the right bank. As an added bonus, the last chapter consists of three field trips around the center of Rome, which can be enjoyed on foot or by using public transportation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, thousands of tourists visit Mount Mitchell, the most prominent feature of North Carolina's Black Mountain range and the highest peak in the eastern United States. From Native Americans and early explorers to land speculators and conservationists, people have long been drawn to this rugged region. Timothy Silver explores the long and complicated history of the Black Mountains, drawing on both the historical record and his experience as a backpacker and fly fisherman. He chronicles the geological and environmental forces that created this intriguing landscape, then traces its history of environmental change and human intervention from the days of Indian-European contact to today. Among the many tales Silver recounts is that of Elisha Mitchell, the renowned geologist and University of North Carolina professor for whom Mount Mitchell is named, who fell to his death there in 1857. But nature's stories--of forest fires, chestnut blight, competition among plants and animals, insect invasions, and, most recently, airborne toxins and acid rain--are also part of Silver's narrative, making it the first history of the Appalachians in which the natural world gets equal time with human history. It is only by understanding the dynamic between these two forces, Silver says, that we can begin to protect the Black Mountains for future generations.
