The area is five miles wide, and extends ten miles along the Delaware above and below the " Falls," or rapids in the river at the head of tide water, where the outcropping of the Edge Hill rock projects through the river surface. This is principally located between the three bridges spanning the river at Morrisville. The township bordering the Delaware on the Pennsylvania side for several miles was early designated as " The Falls " township and from these connections arise our monthly meeting titles.

THE DIARY OF JOHN SMITH. In 1904 I edited and issued the Diary of James Logan's son-inlaw, John Smith, of Burlington and Philadelphia, under the title, Hannah Logan's Courtship. At that time three of the volumes of the original manuscript eluded my search. Last November, however, I found these missing parts. Bound in limp paper, and in the hand of John Smith, they are as follows: "No. 1," 11 mo. ?, 1745-6-10 mo. 31, 1746. (Size 8 ? I2% inches, 41 pages.) " No. 7," 10 mo. 12, 1748-3 mo. 19, 1749. (Size 4% x 6j4 inches, 59 Pages.)' " No. 8," 3 mo. 20, 1749-10 mo. 19, 1749. (Size 3% ? 5% inches, 96 pp.) These unpublished portions of the Diary are of such value that they should be put into print as a supplement to what has already appeared. If the cost of transcription and publication could be borne, I should be glad to bring out these newly discovered parts of the Diary. Here is an entry of particular interest, which has to do with the earliest known theatrical performance in Philadelphia:
约翰·史密斯的日记。1904年,我编辑并出版了詹姆斯·洛根的女婿约翰·史密斯的日记,他住在伯灵顿和费城,书名是《汉娜·洛根的求爱》。当时,我找不到三卷原稿。然而,去年11月,我找到了这些缺失的部件。约翰·史密斯用软纸装订,上面写着:“第一号”,1745年11月11日- 1746年10月31日。(8码?12英寸,41页。”第7号,“1748年12月10日至1749年3月19日”。(尺寸4% x 6j4英寸,59页)“第8号”,1749年3月20日至1749年10月19日。(3% ?(5%英寸,96页)《日记》中这些未发表的部分很有价值,应该付印,作为已发表部分的补充。如果抄写和出版的费用能负担得起,我很乐意把日记中这些新发现的部分带出来。这里有一个特别有趣的条目,它与费城最早的戏剧表演有关:

About two hundred people, arriving by automobiles, and by train to Bycot station, assembled in the quaint old meeting house. The beautiful, well-preserved stone building in its setting of grand old trees, with the peaceful burying ground in the rear, sheltered by the surrounding hills, made an ideal gathering place. Lucy B. Roberts, President of the Society, in her opening remarks referred to the fact that the Society now has an office in the Friends' Library, 142 North Sixteenth Street, Philadelphia. A sign on the door locates it as the headquarters of the Society. In the absence of the Secretary, Caroline W. Smedley was invited to serve in that capacity for the day. Henry D. Paxson addressed the Society on "Buckingham in Revolutionary Times." (See p. 57, above.) The second paper on the program was read by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., on " Durham Iron Furnaces." The well-known Durham Iron Works are as old as the Buckingham Meeting. Durham is in the extreme northeastern section of Bucks County on the Delaware River. Its white settlers arrived perhaps as early as 1682. The greater part of the land was granted by William Penn to his Secretary, James Logan, who deeded it to the Durham Iron Works. The date stone of the original blast furnace is marked 1727. The discovery of iron ore in the hills led to its establishment. As James Logan owned one quarter of the business at that time, it is quite probable that the fire backs at his mansion, " Stenton," were made at Durham. Pig iron, cast iron, stove plates, and shock shells were also made there. The last blast of the old furnace was in 1789, after which it was used as a grist mill. In 1830 the furnaces were opened again, and modernized in 1876. The plant was dismantled in 1912. One modern furnace in one month produces more iron than did the Durham furnace of 1727 in sixty-two years. It is likely that
大约有二百人乘汽车和火车来到拜科特车站,聚集在古雅的老会议室里。这座美丽、保存完好的石砌建筑被高大的古树环绕,后面是一片宁静的墓地,四周群山环抱,是一个理想的聚会场所。协会主席露西·b·罗伯茨在开幕致辞中提到,协会现在在费城北16街142号的朋友图书馆设有办公室。门上的标志表明这里是协会的总部。秘书不在,请卡洛琳·斯梅德利担任这一天的秘书。亨利·d·帕克森在学会发表了题为“革命时期的白金汉”的演讲。(见上文第57页。)关于这个项目的第二篇论文是由小b·f·法肯塔尔(b.f. Fackenthal, Jr.)宣读的,题为《达勒姆炼铁炉》(Durham Iron furnace)。著名的达勒姆铁厂和白金汉会议一样古老。达勒姆位于巴克斯县最东北部的特拉华河畔。白人定居者可能早在1682年就到达了这里。大部分土地由威廉·佩恩授予他的秘书詹姆斯·洛根,后者将其转让给达勒姆铁厂。原高炉的日期石上标有1727。山上铁矿的发现促成了它的建立。由于詹姆斯·洛根当时拥有该公司四分之一的股份,所以很有可能他的“斯坦顿”豪宅的回火是在达勒姆制造的。生铁、铸铁、炉板和震弹也在那里生产。这座老熔炉的最后一次爆炸是在1789年,之后它被用作磨粉机。1830年,这些熔炉再次启用,并于1876年实现现代化。该工厂于1912年拆除。一座现代炼铁炉一个月的铁产量比1727年的达勒姆炼铁炉62年的产量还要多。很可能
