An Address Pronounced at the Opening of the New-York Athenaeum, December 14, 1824 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from An Address Pronounced at the Opening of the New-York Athenaeum, December 14, 1824 In speaking to you on behalf of an association of literary and scientific men, who have been brought together by the disinterested and honourable motive of diffusing the lights of knowledge, and of contributing something to the cultivation of science in our common country, and who ask for public patronage to their undertaking, I feel that we cannot more usefully employ the time we are to pass together, than by taking a general and rapid retrospect of what the American mind has hitherto accomplished; and by endeavouring in some degree to anticipate what we may hope shall hereafter be achieved by the...
New York State and the Rise of Modern Conservatism
From the early 1960s until 1980 New York's Conservative and Republican Parties battled on the editorial page, at the ballot box, and in the courts over the ideology of the GOP. New York State and the Rise of Modern Conservatism recounts the story of how New York, reputedly the most liberal of all states, played a critical role in conservatism's political ascendancy and in the redrawing, according to ideology, of the country's party lines. Examining the colorful personalities central to the transformation, including Governor Nelson Rockefeller, William F. Buckley Jr., John Lindsay, Roy Cohn, Jackie Robinson, Clare Booth Luce, G. Gordon Liddy, and William Casey, author Timothy J. Sullivan recounts the details of the party's battle, a battle that ultimately forced the state's liberal Republicans to choose between their party and their ideology, resulting in a reliably conservative national GOP prepared to nominate Ronald Reagan.

Here is a population of about three thousand excessively indolent, living miserably on a fertile soil, and dwel ling mostly in huts. The slaves are numerous, and are worked hard and treated with uncommon severity by the lazy masters, ma ny of whom, as it should seem from this narrative, are no whiter than themselves. The governor, a native of Portugal, dressed in a general's uniform, whom Capt. Weddell found on board a schooner of war in the bay, on hearing that he wanted a supply of poultry, sent him to make a bargain with his lad...
