Annual Report Of The American Historical Association For The Year 1913 In Two Volumes Vol I

Excerpt from Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the Year 1913, Vol. 2 of 2 The largest group of letters other than Bayard's is a group of fourteen letters by Robert Goodloe Harper, which possess consider able historical interest. Harper, it will be remembered, was a mem ber of the House of Representatives from South Carolina from 1795 till 1801 and a Senator from Maryland in 1816. These letters were written while he was a Member of the House, their aim being to acquaint his constituents with the doings of Congress.1 They are apparently privately printed circulars, one of which was included in his volume of Select Works (volume I) published in 1814. It seems not improbable that the corrections and additions found in this collection of prints were made for the purpose of including these letters in a second volume, which was never published. Those letters and papers in Mr. Bayard's collection which have not been printed in this volume deal with private and family matters which add nothing to our knowledge of the man or his times or else are purely formal and ceremonial papers. Wherever no reference to the source of the manuscript is given the paper comes from these family archives of Mr. Richard H. Bayard.
