Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 18 The Commodore and many other Gentlemen, who have made it their business to examine the River, say the channel is so narrow that not more than two ships can lye abreast in it. If this be a fact, as I have no reason to doubt, from the concurrent testimony of so many Gentlemen, it will be impossible for the enemy to bring a greater force up the river than there is to Oppose them. How they will be able under these circumstances to remove the Obstruction in the river, when they are constantly annoy'd and threaten'd with the fire rafts, is difficult for me to conceive. However it is proposed in aid to these, to add some fortifications upon the land, one at Billingsport, one at Red Bank, and one at Derby's Creek, the situation Of all which your Excellency had an opportunity to see. I will just examine how far they will add to the security Of the River, and what force it would take to give this aid, and then see wether the security on this side, will not diminish the land force to such a degree as to render the principal Object less secure than without them, not to say any thing about the expence and trouble attending their construction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1923, Vol. 47 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - To tell the story of the scientists of Philadelphia would require many hours. I propose therefore to restrict myself to a recital of the work of some of the men who were partial to my science, chemistry, because it is the oldest of the sciences. All other sciences are dependent upon it. In the language of another, it has done more for the comfort, the welfare and the happiness of man than all the others put together. There was a time when chemistry was looked upon as the black art. There was a period in its history when kings and emperors called it to their aid. Ivhen their money coffers were depleted they looked to the devotees of the science to replenish them. That was the period in which chemis try bore the name alchemy, when it was said to be the science or the art of making gold and silver; when through the instrumentality of what was termed the philosopher's stone, base, ignoble metals were trans muted into the precious metals, silver and gold. No one ever dreamed that alchemy was practiced outside of Europe. If five years ago any chemist in any part of the world had been asked whether alchemy was.
