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

( Henry D. Paxson , in his address, made a " pilgrimage " back into the colonial period of Buckingham and Bucks County . He pictured the early settlements, the roads, the Indians, and other phases of frontier life . On the history of Buckingham , and of the old Meeting House, he spoke as follows:) The name Buckingham comes, of course, from old England and was always dear to the founder. It was first given to what is now Bristol Township and Bristol Borough and was then known as " New Buckingham." Upon the formation of the borough, called Bristol, the second chartered borough in Pennsylvania, the name of the township was changed to conform to that of the borough. This left Buckingham unappropriated, but it was very soon taken over by the settlers in this section, some of whom came from Buckinghamshire, England. As originally constituted, Buckingham was an immense township, being associated with Solebury under one jurisdiction. It extended from the Delaware on the east to about the Neshaminy on the west.

The letter which follows has been presented to the Friends' Historical Society by Mrs. G. W. Cutter, of Philadelphia, in whose family it has long remained. The note paper on which the letter is written is headed with the seal of the British and Foreign AntiSlavery Society, with the figure of a kneeling slave in chains, and the motto beneath, " Am I not a man and a Brother ? " This seal was adopted upon the formation of the Society in 1787, owing to the efforts of Thomas Clarkson and his band of famous associates. His " History of the Abolition of the Slave Trade " should be familiar to Friends, and the later efforts of John G. Whittier and William Lloyd Garrison, with whom Lucretia Mott worked indefatigably. She and her husband had recently returned from England, where they had been among the American delegates to the great " General Conference " of the Society in London, and where Lucretia Mott was not permitted to attend in her official capacity, because of the resolution that no women were to be seated as delegates. The Conference met in June, 1840. After a most interesting visit, when they met many of those dedicated men and women of all denominations who were active in the anti-slavery movement, James and Lucretia sailed from Liverpool August 27, arriving at New York after a passage of twenty-nine days ! This letter was written about three months afterward. Amelia M. Gummere.
下面这封信是由费城的g.w.卡特夫人交给朋友历史学会的,这封信一直保存在她的家里。这封信是在信纸上写的,信纸上盖着英国和外国反奴隶制协会的印章,上面有一个带着镣铐跪着的奴隶的形象,下面的座右铭是:“难道我不是一个人和一个兄弟吗?”这个印章是在1787年协会成立时通过的,这是由于托马斯·克拉克森和他的一群著名的同事的努力。朋友们应该熟悉他的《废除奴隶贸易的历史》,以及后来约翰·g·惠蒂尔和威廉·劳埃德·加里森的努力,卢克丽夏·莫特与他们一起不知疲倦地工作。她和她的丈夫最近刚从英国回来,他们作为美国代表参加了在伦敦举行的协会“全体会议”,卢克丽霞·莫特不被允许以官方身份参加,因为决议不允许妇女作为代表参加会议。会议于1840年6月召开。在一次非常有趣的访问之后,詹姆斯和卢克丽霞遇到了许多积极参与反奴隶制运动的各种教派的献身男女,他们于8月27日从利物浦启航,经过29天的航程抵达纽约!这封信是大约三个月后写的。Amelia M.
