enlisted and was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 20th Ohio infantry. He was severely wounded in the face in the campaign of Atlanta, July 22, 1864, but was in active service again the following Octobor. He was mustered out in January, 1866, declined a colonelcy in the regular army and returned to Cincinnati, where, in November, he was elected Judge of Common Pleas for Hamilton County. This position he held till 1877, when he became Judge of the Superior Court, and so continued for ten years. In 1888, he was appointed Commandant of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Sandusky, and in this office he remained to the time of his death, May 8th, of the current year.
In other places his brave and honorable career in the field and his upright administration of justice have been commemorated. It be- comes us to recall his services in behalf of the Historical and Philo- sophical Society of Ohio. Mr. Force became one of its members soon after he came to Cincinnati. At its reorganization in 1868, he was chosen corresponding secretary, and the following year, president. He was annually re-elected to this office till 1888, when his removal to Sandusky made him think he must decline further service. It is hardly too much to say that without Judge Force's efforts to revive the Society it would long since have gone out of existence. He delivered an address in 1885, "on the opening of the new rooms of the Society," and in this address, speaking of the condition of things in this eventful year of 1868, he says :
.
"At the close of the war there were four active members remain- ing in the city, Robert Buchanan, George Graham, John D. Caldwell, and myself. Julius Dexter, Robert Clarke and E. F. Bliss became interested in reviving the Society. Some of the four survivors, or possibly one, flocking by himself, held a meeting and elected a number of new members."
I need hardly add that this gentleman, "flocking by himself," was Judge Force.
From this time forward he was alert for our interests. His ex- tensive acquaintance, his inherited knowledge of American history, if I may so term it, enabled him to aid us in many ways. His contribu- tions in money and in books were constant and considerable. Espec- ially to be noticed is his gift of a large collection of books relating to the American Indians and to Spanish dominion in America.
Though a most conscientious worker in his own profession, besides finding time to edit several law books, he published "Prehistoric Man," in 1873; "Some Early Notices of the Indians of Ohio," in 1879; "Sketch of the Life of Justice John McLean," in 1885. " Per-

sonal Recollections of the Vicksburg Campaign," "Marching Across Carolina," and finally his " Life of Genl. Sherman," show his living interest in the events of the Civil War.
He was a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, of the American Historical Society, of the Massachusetts Historical So- ciety, corresponding member of the Madrid Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
General Force was a kind-hearted, unselfish, sympathetic man. Modest, even retiring, in manner, he had exquisite politeness, prompted from the heart. A busy man, as I have shown above, he had always time for the student who needed advice, the scholar who asked co- operation. He was patient in adversity, upright in all his thoughts, a man, if ever I have known one, fearless, blameless.
MEMORIAL ON THE DEATH OF ROBERT CLARKE, BY W. H. VENABLE.
Read at the Annual Meeting, December 4, 1899.
It is not possible for one to remember the history of the Ohio Historical Society and forget the name of Robert Clarke. No living member of this organization fails to recall to mind the lineaments of Robert Clarke, that good and faithful servant of duty, that right manly man whom we loved and respected, whom we still love and respect with a more tender regard now that he has gone from us on the final solemn journey, around new worlds, may we trust. His invaluable labors with and for the Historical Society, were in arduous co-operation with two other devoted benefactors whose passing sorely bereft us, but yesterday, of what seemed indispensable supports-Manning Force and Julius Dexter. Since the reorganization of the Society, in 1868, Clarke was one of the indefatigable few that have kept the Society alive, caused it to grow and become fruitful. None did more than he to plant and water the tree, that a Providence who helps those who help, might give the promised increase. From 1869 to 1873, Robert Clarke was Treasurer of the Society, and this responsible trust he resigned only to take upon his busy hands the active cares of Corres- ponding Secretary. With him office meant work, not shirk; he sought no sinecure, aspired to no conspicuous leadership. He always wished to be doing something useful.

Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.
Robert Clarke was born in Scotland, in 1829; he came to Cincin- nati in 1840; he went into the book business, at first as a second-hand dealer, about 1850, and in 1858, succeeding H. W. Derby, founded the firm of which he was president at the time of his death, August 26, 1899. The glass of his days were just three score years and ten, not years of trouble and disappointment, but of calm happiness and the golden mean of success.
Of his career as bookseller and publisher, adequate record has been compiled in the "Publisher's Weekly," and in other trade journals. His contributions to the Antiquarian Society have been recognized in a loving tribute by the president of this Society. The people of Glendale, in large meeting held in the Lyceum building, which Clarke founded, expressed their gratitude and sorrow, in memorial proceedings soon to be issued in a fitting booklet. It remains for the Historical Society, in this, its annual meeting, to testify recog- nition of the well-beloved man's special services to this institution, and to add our common tribute of admiration for his character.
Robert Clarke was a general bibliophile, but his special field of literary investigation was the historical field. He was a reader of history, an editor of historical standard books, a writer of historical leaflets and pamphlets, an encourager of historical research. His "Bibliotheca Americana," set the standard for that class of accurate work on this continent. The "Ohio Historical Series," in the pre- paration and publication of which he took such enthusiastic pleasure, and on which he spent so much money, perpetuates his name and his generous example. As the veteran Judge Joseph Cox has said : " He did not make books merely to sell them." One of his maximis was: "Keep a little ahead of the public." He did something for posterity.
The Historical Society and the Glendale Lyceum were his imper- sonal loves. Between these his generosity vibrated. In almost every book in the Glendale library, a collection of 5000 volumes, you may read the inscription, "Presented by Robert Clarke." The librarian of this Society will tell you how many gifts came to these shelves from the hand of the Corresponding Secretary. But he gave what is better than money or books, he gave his time, his zeal, his sympathy. He gave us a man, he gave us a public benefactor and a private friend, he gave his kindly, unostentatious, sincere self unselfishly to us. We miss him, we mourn him, and would not leave our feeling unsaid.
One who knew him well, Mr. H. W. Brown, of this city, speaking for the people of Glendale, said with simple truth : "If I were to tell why we loved him, I should say because his character was built upon
24

a foundation of honesty, manhood, sincerity, humility and charity." An active, an honored member of this Society, and also a neighbor of Mr. Clarke, spoke the conviction of all, when he said in offhand directness : " He was a very able man, a good man, a man of system, a man who did his duty in every respect without any attempt at show." Such is the testimony of those who knew Robert Clarke intimately. They further tell us that he loved nature and was fond of little children. He was by no means sentimental, yet he gathered wild flowers and sometimes read the poets, not the grand old masters, but the simpler singers who celebrate the joys of a quiet, home-staying heart. Among his familiar books was an old, worn volume of Charles Swain, and in this, underscored by Clarke's pencil, a favorite stanza of his, embodies his creed and his practice :
" Oh happy they who happy make, Who, blessing, still themselves are blest! Who something spare for others' sake, And strive in all things for the best."

OF THE

FOR 1900.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
CINCINNATI, December 3, 1900.
The Librarian respectfully submits the following report for the year ending with this date. The accessions to the Library have been as follows :
Bound volumes,
358
Pamphlets, .
1317
Bound volumes of newspapers,
II
Atlases,
4
Maps,
4
The library now contains 16,473 bound volumes and 62, 909 pam- phlets. Of the books received, 354 were given and the purchases made from the income of the Elizabeth Haven Appleton Fund were 19 bound volumes and 28 pamphlets. The contributions came from 136 sources ; 77 societies and institutions have contributed and 59 in- dividuals, of whom 21 were members of the Society.
When the announcement was made by our President at the last annual meeting of the agreement between the University of Cincin- nati and the Historical Society, whereby we should occupy rooms in the new Van Wormer Library building, then just begun, our expecta- tion was that before another December the library would be domiciled in its new abode, but repeated delays in the time of removal have oc- curred, and once more the Society holds an annual meeting in its old home, with the laborious task of transferring to the hill the collections now in the Society's keeping, still in the future.
Among the contributions the library has received during the past

year, as worthy of special notice, may be mentioned two interesting maps which came with Mrs. John A. Gano's gift of books and pam- phlets; the first map is of our neighboring City of Covington, dated 1815, and bearing the names of John S. Gano and R. M. Gano, Pro- prietors ; the other is a map of the southern part of New York State, including Long Island, the Sound and the State of Connecticut, pub- lished in New York in 1815. This is a folded map mounted on cloth and in fine condition. From Mrs. Gano has also been received a collection of papers, for the greater part bearing upon the early his- tory of Ohio. These came to us too late in the year for classification and arrangement. They will be placed in large volumes, entitled "The Gano Papers." An extended notice of them will be given in our next annual report.
Mrs. Murphy has given a valuable collection of books selected from the library of her late husband, Dr. John A. Murphy, who was for many years a member of this Society. This gift contains a num- ber of important additions to the works we now have on the War of the Rebellion.
Walter St. John Jones, Esq., has given to the Society a few docu- ments found among the papers of our late associate Robert Clarke. Most of them refer to the controversy as to which town in the North- west Territory founded the first Public Library. These documents have found place in the volumes of the "Clarke Papers " noticed in the last annual report. The Hon. Bellamy Storer, Minister of the United States to Spain, has presented us with the fac simile chart of Juan de la Cosa. In the descriptive pamphlet which accompanies the chart it is said : "The importance of La Cosa's map, and the non-ex- istence of a Reprodution thereof, that could satisfy the legitimate wishes of men of science, induced Señor Antonio Cánovas Vallejo and Professor Traynor, of Madrid, to publish an exact, careful, and faith- ful copy of it, without omitting a single detail, as to size, colours, or even injuries of time; so that, in reality, the possessor of one of these Reproductions can study the Map as if it were the original."
Mrs. Roberts Bartholow, of Philadelphia, has given to the So- ciety an account of the Republican National Convention of June last -- as reported for the Public Ledger of her city, with many "cuts " from that and other journals, over a hundred in number. These have been arranged in a scrap-book and make a curious picture of political pro- cedure and incident, at the end of the nineteenth century.
Early in the summer a long needed work was accomplished by Mr. William Holden, who at that time made a card catalogue of the
5
Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.
Society's duplicate bound volumes, somewhat over two thousand in number. For this special purpose the Society received a gift from a member of our first modern library catalogue case and cards, and I may add this acquisition of library furniture has opened a way in its remaining space for other special catalogues which we hope as oppor- tunity offers to devote to the collection of maps and pictures now in this library.
