Lewis J. Cist, oldest son of Charles Cist, early exhib- ited poetic abilities, and wrote much for his father's pa- per, the Advertiser, for the Hesperian, and other local publications. In 1845 many of his pieces were collected and published under the title, Trifles in Verse : A Collec- tion of Fugitive Poems. He was a bank-clerk in Cin- cinnati, in the office of the Ohio Life and Trust com- pany ; went to St. Louis in 1850, and took a position in a bank there; and afterwards returned to Cincinnati, where he now resides. He has one of the finest collec- tions of autographs in the world.

OTHER HISTORIANS.

Very excellent work has been done in this department of late years by Mr. Robert Clarke, of the well-known publishing firm of Robert Clarke & Company. He is doubtless the best local historian in the Miami country ; and it is to be regretted that as yet his labors have been confined to editing the productions of others-invaluable as this work has been-issuing privately-printed pam- phlets, advising writers of history, and corresponding oc- casionally for the newspapers. His pamphlets so far are :

HISTORY OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

The Pre-historic Remains which were found on the Site of the City of Cincinnati, Ohio, with a Vindication of the Cincinnati Tablets; and a valuable publication on the first sales and quotations of lots in Losantiville. The more important publications issued under his editorship are included in the Ohio Valley Historical Series, in which his careful revision and editorial notes are among the best features of the books. They include:

I. An Historical Account of the Expedition against

the Ohio Indians, in the year 1764, under the command of Henry Bouquet. By Dr. William Smith.

2. History of Athens county, Ohio, and incidentally of the Ohio Land company, and the first settlement of the State at Marietta. By Charles M. Walker.

3. Colonel George Rogers Clark's Sketches of his Campaign in the Illinois, in 1778-9.

4. Pioneer Biography: Sketches of the Lives of Some of the Early Settlers of Butler county, Ohio. By James McBride. Two volumes. This is a perfect treasure- house of interesting facts relating to the Miami valley in pioneer times, and we here acknowledge frequent indebt- edness to it.

5. An account of the remarkable occurrences in the life and travels of Colonel James Smith (now a citizen of Bourbon county, Kentucky), during his captivity among the Indians, in the years 1755, '56, '57, '58, and '59.

6. Pioneer Life in Kentucky : A series of reminiscen- tial letters addressed to his children. By Dr. Daniel Drake.

7. Miscellanies : Containing-1, Memorandums of a tour in Ohio and Kentucky, by Josiah Espy; 2, Two Western Campaigns in the War of 1812-13, by Samuel Williams; 3, The Leatherwood God.

Mr. Clarke had also the enterprise to reprint two vol- umes of Olden Time, a Pittsburgh publication replete with valuable matter relating to the early explorations and the settlement and improvement of the country around the head of the Ohio.

To go back again more than a generation in time, it may not be commonly known or remembered here that the first general History of Ohio given the public was prepared in Cincinnati by a young attorney, Salmon P. Chase, afterwards Secretary of the Treasury and chief justice of the United States. It was published first in 1833 as an introduction to Chase's edition of the Statutes of Ohio, in three volumes, which gave its previously un- known author at once a high standing among the Ohio bar; afterwards separately, in a thin octavo. It is still re- garded as a very satisfactory outline of the history of the State to the year 1833.

Hart's History of the Valley of the Mississippi is also a Cincinnati book, published by Moore, Anderson, Wil- stach & Keys, in 1853. So are Indian Wars of the West, by Timothy Flint, 1833, a work still held in high esteem; the same author's Biographical Memoir of Daniel Boone, Life and Exploits of Daniel Boone, the History and Ge- ography of the Mississippi Valley, in three volumes, 1828-33; and the Shoshone Valley, a romance in two volumes. Mr. Flint had also several historical and other

books printed elsewhere, but whether prepared during his residence in Cincinnati or not we have not been able to learn. In 1855 Messrs. Ephraim Morgan and Sons pub- lished here a history of the Shawnee Indians, from the year 1681 to 1854, inclusive, by Henry Harvey, who was not, we believe, a Cincinnatian. The Miami Printing & Publishing company, in 1872, issued a little work entitled A Chapter of the History of the War of 1812 in the Northwest, by Colonel William Stanley Hatch, volun- teer in the Cincinnati light infantry. Henry Howe's famous Historical Collections of Ohio was prepared and published here, in four editions from 1847 to 1869, the last by Robert Clarke & Company. Important contribu- tions have been made to ecclesiastical and general history in the Sketches of Western Methodism: Biographical, Historical, and Miscellaneous, Illustrative of Pioneer Life, by the Rev. James B. Finley; and a History of the Wyandott Mission at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal church, by the same author; also in a History of the Miami Baptist Association, from its organization in 1797 to a Division of that Body on Missions in the year 1836-a small but excellently prepared book by the Hon. A. H. Dunlevy, son of Judge Francis Dunlevy, a pioneer settler at Columbia. Profes- sor W. H. Venable, the poet teacher, has done much good work in preparing historical text books for the schools, besides his contributions in lighter departments of litera- ture. Dr. George Halstead Boyland, an ex-surgeon of the French army, is author of an interesting volume de- scriptive of Six Months under the Red Cross, with the French Army. Two of the Cincinnati regiments in the late war-the Sixth infantry and the Eighty-first-have had their stirring stories published; the former written by Lieutenant E. Hannaford, in an octavo volume of six hundred and twenty-two pages, the latter a smaller book, by Major W. H. Chamberlin.

An interesting account has been given of the black brigade, the Cincinnati negroes who worked upon the Covington fortifications during the great scare of 1862, in a little book by Mr. Peter H. Clark. By far the greatest work that has been done in this direction, however, in this city or State, or perhaps in any State, is Ohio in the War: Her Statesmen, Her Generals, and Her Soldiers, in two large octavos; which is truly a magnum opus in every respect. It is the production of several writers and compilers employed during the war and subsequently by the publishers, Messrs. Moore, Wilstach & Baldwin, of Cincinnati; but was carefully edited throughout by Mr. Whitelaw Reid, now editor-in-chief of the New York. Tribune, and published in 1868. Its great value to the history of the State is amply recognized in the citations from it in this and other works of the kind.

An entertaining book of Cincinnati's Beginnings, deal- ing principally and very usefully with the Miami Pur- chase, and containing many before unpublished letters of Judge Symmes and his partners of the East Jersey company, by Mr. F. W. Miller, was published in 1880 by Peter G. Thomson. Mr. Thomson is also the recent publisher of The Old Court House : Reminiscences and Anecdotes of the Courts and Bar of Cincinnati, by the

267

HISTORY OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

Hon. A. G. W. Carter, himself long a practitioner at the bar, prosecuting attorney many years ago, and for a time a judge in the court of common pleas. Mr. Thomson also, with rare and well-directed enterprise, published a work of his own in the late fall of 1880-The Bibliogra- phy of the State of Ohio, being a Catalogue of the Books and Pamphlets relating to the History of the State. It is a thick quarto, printed with exceeding beauty of typog- raphy; and, notwithstanding some errors, both of com- mission and omission-notably the failure even to cata- logue the already considerable number of county histo- ries published in Ohio, some of which make important contributions to State and general history-it is a very useful work, and a credit to Queen City publications. The preparation of this chapter of our history has been very greatly facilitated by its use.

It is announced that a History of Cincinnati is also in press -- one large enough to fill two duodecimo volumes, the work of Colonel A. E. Jones, who has con- tributed many valuable historical articles to the city jour- nals-and it will probably see the light in due course of time.

Other publications, more or less local and historical in their character, are Mr. W. T. Coggeshall's The Signs of the Times, comprising a History of the Spirit-rappers in Cincinnati and Other Places, with Notes on Clairvoyant Revealments; John P. Foote's useful and painstaking work on The Schools of Cincinnati and its Vicinity, 1855; an anonymous Brief Sketch of the History, Rise, and Progress of the Common Schools of Cincinnati, in the Historical Sketches of the Public Schools of Ohio, pub- lished at Columbus in 1876; and the The Horrors of the Queen City, a crime-record anonymously issued, but known to be from the pen of Colonel W. L. De Beck, of Cincin- nati; and William F. Poole's Essay on Anti-slavery be- fore 1800, read before the literary club November 16, 1872.

The city has a somewhat voluminous literature in pamphlets and reports embodying contributions to her history and that of Hamilton county. In 1833 was pub- lished an octavo pamphlet of the proceedings at the cel- ebration of the forty-fifth anniversary of the first settle- ment of Cincinnati and the Miami county; and two years thereafter one recording in print the celebration, by na- tive citizens, of the forty-seventh anniversary of the first settlement of Ohio. James F. Conover's oration on the History of the First Discovery and Settlement of the New World, with especial reference to the Mississippi valley, was published in 1835; and three years afterwards came Judge Timothy Walker's discourse on the History and General Character of the State of Ohio, before the His- torical and Philosophical society, preceded the previous year by a eulogy of the State, in the Annual discourse before the same society by the same gentleman. N. C. Read's anniversary oration of the Buckeye celebration April 7, 1841, was published here the same year. In 1836 public record was made by the executive committee of the Ohio Anti-Slavery society, in a pamphlet, of the Late Riotous Proceedings against the Liberty of the Press in Cincinnati; with Remarks and Historical No-

tices relating to Emancipation. Pioneer Life at North Bend was set forth in an address at Cleves in 1866 by the Hon. J. Scott Harrison, son of President Harrison, print- ed in a neat pamphlet by Messrs. Clarke & Company. Colonel A. E. Jones has a pamphlet address on Reminis- cences of the Early Days of the Little Miami Valley, and another on the Financial and Commercial Statistics of Cincinnati: The Past and Present. The church, in vari- ous denominations, receives just historical treatment in Dr. J. G. Montfort's Presbyterianism North of the Ohio; Rev. Richard McNemar's The Kentucky Revival, a Cincinnati publication of 1807, from the Liberty Hall office; Memorials of the Celebration of the Fiftieth An- niversary of the First Congregational (Unitarian) church ; Rev. William H. James' historical discourse on the Seventy-ninth Anniversary of the Presbyterian church at Springdale; Hutchison's historical discourse of the Reading and Lockland Presbyterian church; Rev. An- drew J. Reynolds' historical discourse of the Cummins- ville Presbyterian church; Rev. Samuel R. Wilson's dis- course at the dedication of the Church of the Pioneers (First Presbyterian church of Cincinnati), September 21, 1851; A Brief Account of the Origin, Progress, Faith, and Practice of the Central Christian Church of Cincin- nati; the History of Union Chapel, Methodist Episcopal church; and many brief histories of churches, Sunday- schools, and attached religious and benevolent organiza- tions, in the church manuals and ecclesiastical reports. Brief histories have also been published, alone or in divers connections, of the Cincinnati high schools, Lane seminary, the Wesleyan Female college, the Catholic in- stitute, Western Baptist Theological institute, and other schools; of the Young Men's Mercantile, the Public, and Law libraries, the Mechanics' institute, Spring Grove cemetery, the Academy of Medicine, the Cincinnati Horticultural society, the Literary club, the Cincinnati Society of ex-Army and Navy officers, the Exposition of Textile Fabrics in 1869, the Industrial Exposition of 1870, the Gas and Coke Company, the Cincinnati Orphan Asylum, the Suspension Bridge, the Tyler-Davidson Foun- tain, the Widows' Home, the Young Men's Gymnasium, and other institutions. A vast amount of valuable matter is included in the twelve volumes of Der Deutsch Pio- nier, published as a monthly magazine by the German Pioneer society of Cincinnati; and in the five numbers of the Cincinnati Pioneer, published some years ago by Mr. John D. Caldwell, as an organ of the Cincinnati Pioneer society.

Many valuable books and pamphlets, not strictly his- torical in their character, but illustrating the city at differ- ent periods of its history, have been published. The most valuable of these are the earliest, the books of Dr. Drake, of Drake & Mansfield, and of Mr. Cist, already mentioned. In this class of works are also: The City of Cincinnati, a Summary of its Attractions, etc., by George E. Stevens, 1869; Illustrated Cincinnati, by D. J. Kenny, 1875, and Cincinnati Illustrated, a handsome thick quarto pamphlet, by the same, 1879; the Guide Books or Hand Books of Boyd, Caron, Holbrook and, latest and best of all, Moses King; the Cincinnati Almanacs

(or local almanacs under different names) of 1806, 1810-20, 1823-34 and 1839-40; the Directories for 1819, 1825, 1829, 1831, 1834, 1836-37, 1842-44, 1846 and 1849-81; the Cincinnati Society Blue Book and Family Directory, published by Peter G. Thomson, 1879; the Suburbs of Cincinnati, by Colonel Sidney D. Maxwell; Suburban Homes, by Richard Nelson; the Manufactures of Cincinnati and their Relation to the Fu- ture Progress of the City, a lecture by Colonel Maxwell; the Bible in the Public Schools, a report of the case of John D. Minor et al. vs. The Board of Education of the City of Cincinnati, et al. The Cincinnati Excursion to California in 1869, reported in letters to the Daily Com- mercial, were published in book form; the reports of sev- eral notable trials in pamphlet form; and sundry pub- lished addresses by Jacob Burnet, Alphonso Taft, George Graham, Charles P. James, ex-Governor William Bebb, and many others; besides the invaluable annual reports of the Chamber of Commerce, by Colonel Maxwell; of the Board of Trade, by Mr. Julius F. Blackburn, and of other city institutions and the several departments of the city government.

LOCAL BIOGRAPHY,

by local authors, has been by no means neglected. Lives of Dr. Daniel Drake, by his brother-in-law, Mr. E. D. Mansfield; of Dr. John Locke, by Dr. M. B. Wright; of the Hon. Larz Anderson, by the Rev. I. N. Stanger; James H. Perkins, the well known editor and annalist, by Rev. B. F. Barrett; Judge Thomas Morris, an eminent resident in Columbia and in Clermont county for many years, by his son; Samuel Lewis, the first State superin- tendent of public schools in Ohio, also by a son; Rev. Truman Bishop, by John Haughton; Rev. Philip Gatch, another of the early Methodist ministers in the Miami county, by the Hon. John McLean, justice of the su- preme court of the United States; Mrs. Charlotte Cham- bers Ludlow, one of the pioneer ladies here, in a privately printed memoir by her grandson, Mr. Lewis H. Garrard; the Rev. Adam Hurdus, first minister of the Sweden- borgian faith west of the Alleghanies, by Judge A. G. W. Carter; Judge Jacob Burnet, by Mr. D. K. Este, and again by the Rev. Samuel W. Fisher; the Reminiscences of Levi Coffin, the reputed President of the Under- ground Railway; the Life, Public Services, and Select Speeches of Rutherford B. Hayes, by J. Q. Howard; the Memorial of William Spooner, 1837, and of his De- scendants to the Third Generation, and of his Great- grandson, Elnathan Spooner, and of his Descendants to 1871, by Thomas Spooner; and of Samuel E. Foote, by his brother John P. Foote, have been prepared in the shape of book, address, or sermon, and published in Cincinnati. The Personal Memories of the Hon. E. D. Mansfield, 1879; the Autobiography of Rev. J. B. Fin- ley, 1857; and the Narrative of Indian Captivity, by Oliver M. Spencer, which has been published in three editions, belong mainly to this category. The lives of leading Cincinnatians were written up briefly and pub- lished, with photographic portraits accompanying, in Cin- cinnati Past and Present, or its Industrial History, as exhibited in the Life Labors of its Leading Men, 1872,

of which a German edition was also published. Many other local biographical sketches appear in the Biograph- ical Encyclopædia of Ohio, of the nineteenth century, published in Cincinnati and Philadelphia in 1876, and the Biographical Cyclopædia and Portrait Gallery of Dis- tinguished Men, a great work issued in Cincinnati by Messrs. John C. Yorston & Company. Lives of Gen- eral Harrison were prepared here in 1840, by Charles S. Todd and Benjamin Drake; in 1836, by Judge James Hall; and in 1824, by Moses Dawson, the well-known editor of the Cincinnati Advertiser. It is a little re- markable, however, that out of eighty-three printed funeral orations, sermons, and other eulogies pronounced upon the death of General Harrison, only one belongs to Cincinnati-a sermon preached by the Rev. Joshua L. Wilson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Only one of the nine Harrison campaign song-books men- tioned in Thomson's Bibliography was of Cincinnati compilation-the Tippecanoe Song-book, a little affair of sixty-four pages. Judge Joseph Cox's address before the Cincinnati Literary Club, February 4, 1871, on General W. H. Harrison at North Bend, should be honorably mentioned in this connection. A Eulogy on the Death of General Thomas L. Harmar was pronounced by Da- vid L. Disney, esq., of this city, and published in 1847. A Life of Black Hawk, 1838, is included among the writings of Benjamin Drake; also a Life of Tecumseh, and of his brother the Prophet. It is said that the late Peyton Short Symmes, for some time before his death, was engaged upon a life of his distinguished uncle, Judge Symmes; but if so, the manuscript has never been discovered, and an invaluable work is lost to the world. Mr. Symmes was a highly useful man in his day ; but his performance was never quite equal to his promise. Mr. William T. Coggeshall, in his book on "Poets and Poetry of the West," published in 1860, says of this gentleman:

His recollections of men and places, of writers, of periodicals, and of books, extend over the entire history of literary enterprises of Ohio. He deserves to be remembered, not only for what he has written, but for what he has done to encourage others to write. For fifty years at least he has been the ready referee on questions of art and literature for nearly all the journalists and authors of Cincinnati, and a kindly critic for the inexperienced who, before rushing into print, were wise enough to seek good advice.

THE ANTIQUITIES OF CINCINNATI

have been described and discussed in the pamphlet by Mr. Robert Clarke, already mentioned; in papers by General M. F. Force on Pre-historic Man and The Mound Builders, bound up in the same volume with an essay on Darwinism and Deity; another by the same writer, To what Race did the Mound Builders Belong? in the same book with a paper by Judge Force on Some Early Notices of the Indians of Ohio; and in A Dis- course on the Aborigines of the Valley of the Ohio, by General W. H. Harrison, 1839, a production which is warm- ly esteemed. A valuable pamphlet on The Pre-historic Monuments of the Little Miami Valley, with chart of lo- calities, has been issued by Dr. Charles L. Metz, of Mad- isonville; and three or four parts of Archaeological Ex- plorations by the Literary and Scientific Society of Madi-

sonville, by Mr. Charles F. Low, secretary of the society. In 1839 a remarkably handsome quarto, for the time, was published here by N. G. Burgess & Company, entitled An Inquiry into the Origin of the Antiquities of America, by John Delafield, which attracted the marked attention of the North American Review and other learned author- ities. In 1879 Messrs. Clarke & Company published a neat duodecimo by a Butler county author, Mr. J. P. Mac- Lean, on The Mound Builders.

OTHER SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS,

mostly in pamphlet form, and illustrative of natural his- tory here, have been made in Cincinnati, or have had their inspiration in the Miami country. So long ago as 1849, a thin octavo was published in Philadelphia, giving a Catalogue of Plants, Native and Naturalized, collected in the vicinity of Cincinnati. The same year a Catalogue of the Unios, Alosmodontas, and Anadontas of the Ohio River and Northern Tributaries, adopted by the Western Academy of Natural Sciences at Cincinnati, was issued here in a small 16mo .; A Catalogue of the Land and Fresh Water Mollusca found in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati, by George W. Harper and A. G. Weather- by, 1876; a List of the Land and Fresh Water Shells found in the vicinity of Cincinnati, also the Unionida of the Ohio River and its Northern Tributaries within the State of Ohio, by R. M. Byrnes; A Catalogue of the Birds in the vicinity of Cincinnati, with Notes, 1877; A Catalogue of the Lower Silurian Fossils of the Cincinnati Group, by U. P. James, 1871 and 1875; A Description of New Genera and Species of Fossils from the Lower Silurian about Cincinnati, by E. O. Ulrich, 1879; Catalogue of Flowering Plants and Ferns observed in the vicinity of Cincinnati, by. Joseph Clark, 1852; and A Catalogue of the Flowering Plants, Ferns, and Fungi growing in the vicinity of Cincinnati, by Joseph James, 1879, make up a tolerably full exhibit of the natural his- tory of this region. Asiatic Cholera, as it appeared in Cincinnati in 1849-50, and in 1866, was scientifically treated by Dr. Orin E. Newton in a printed pamphlet. Drs. J. J. Moorman and W. W. Dawson issued a little work in 1859 on the Ohio White Sulphur Spring; and in 1853, under employment of the city water-works depart- ment, Dr. John Locke prepared and published an elab- orate report, of permanent value, of Analyses of the Waters in the Vicinity of Cincinnati.

ART PUBLICATIONS.

A very respectable line of books in the department of fine art, of Cincinnati authorship or publication, has begun to appear. Colonel George Ward Nichols, of the College of Music, is author of two well-known works-Art Education, Applied to Industry ; and Pottery: How It is Made and Decorated; which have been published in elegant shape elsewhere. Robert Clarke's firm publish China Painting: A Practical Manual for the Use of Ama- teurs in the Decoration of Hard Porcelain, by Miss M. Louise McLaughlin, president of the Pottery club, which has passed through several editions; also, a beautiful little volume, a more recent work by the same author, entitled Pottery Decoration: A Practical Manual of

Under-glaze Painting, which records the results of Miss McLaughlin's prolonged studies and experiments, in the effort to rival the painting of the celebrated Haviland or Limoges faience. Mr. Benn Pitman, of the School of Design, has added a valuable appendix on modeling in foliage, etc., for pottery and architectural decoration, to Vago's Instructions in the Art of Modeling in Clay, which is also published by Clarke. Professor M. J. Keller, ot the same school, has in print a book on Ele- mentary Perspective Explained and Applied to Familiar Objects, for the use of schools and beginners in the art of drawing. Miss E. H. Appleton, librarian of the Historical and Philosophical society, has translated from the German, and Mr. Clarke has published, Karl Robert's Charcoal Drawing Without a Master: A Complete Trea- tise in Landscape Drawing in Charcoal, with Lessons and Studies after Allongé. The splendid illustrations sup- plied to the art of landscape gardening by Superintendent Strauch's folio edition of his Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati: Its History and Improvements, with Observa- tions on Ancient and Modern Places of Sepulture, pub- lished at fifteen dollars, entitle it also to mention under the head of art-works. Other books traversing portions of the realm of art have doubtless been written and printed here, the knowledge of which has not yet been reached by the present writer.

MEDICAL WORKS.

One of the most notable of these is the book of Dr. Drake on the Diseases of the Mississippi Valley, men- tioned early in this chapter, and a much later is that on Asiatic Cholera, already named. Another, not so largely of historical character, by Dr. William B. Fletcher, is on Cholera, Its Characteristics, History, Treatment, Geo- graphical Distribution of Different Epidemics, Suitable Sanitary Preventions, etc. An important work on Etiology is from the pen of Dr. Thomas C. Minor, for- merly health officer of the city ; also a treatise on Erysipe- las and Child-bed Fever, and a pamphlet giving the Scarlatina Statistics of the United States. Dr. Minor has also dropped into fiction, in the authorship of Her Ladyship: A Novel-a story of the late war, which evoked much attention and compliment at the time of its publi- cation a year or two ago. Dr. Forchheimer, of the Ohio Medical college, has translated from the German Hoff- man & Ultzmann's Guide to the Examination of Urine, with special reference to the Diseases of the Urinary Apparatus. Dr. James T. Whittaker, another professor in the college, is author of a duodecimo volume of twelve preliminary course lectures on Physiology. Dr. Edward Rives has in print a chart exhibiting the Physiological Arrangement of the Cranial Nerves. Surgeon Tripler, of the United States army, and Dr. George C. Black- man are joint authors of a Hand-book for the Military Surgeon; and Dr. George E. Walton is sponsor for the appearance in English of a French work on the Hygiene and Education of Infants, by the Societe Francaise d' Hygiene, at Paris.
