Archive of Writer and Theologian Edward Payson Powell, 1914, [circa 1896-1915] A small archive consisting of a number of typed manuscripts for articles on various subjects, as well as a 4 pp. publishing contract between Powell and Sherman, French and Company for the book "He Who Won the World" and a TLS from Powell to the publishers regarding changes to the contract, January 1914. Edward Payson Powell (1833-1915) graduated from the Union Theological Seminary in 1858 and was ordained to the Congressional Ministry in 1871. He became an editorial writer for the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat" in 1896 and served on the staff of "The Independent" of New York from 1900 until his death. He was also an associate editor of Chicago's "Unity" and "The Arena" of Boston. A member of the American Arbitration Congress and the American Historical Association, Powell served as Vice President of the Congress of Religion. His most widely held title is "Nullification and Secession in the United States: A History of the Six Attempts During the First Century of the Republic." The manuscripts are: 2 pp. on "Swiss Schools," noting the "attractive feature" of the "cordial personal relation that exists between teacher and pupil.The whole relation is one of charming naturalness and kindliness on both sides." 1 p. with handwritten amendments: "San Diego is naturally proud of the position which it has taken, as a city that will pay its bills without taxing the people." 2 pp. on the "university system, which has grown up of late in America, under which the President of a college or university has become an autocrat.". Notes Yale's administering the "Sheffield Scientific School on what we may call the reform basis." 1 p. "Our esteemed correspondent, N.O. Nelson, not only leads in cooperative enterprises, but is busy advancing the educational interests of the Southern States." 1 p. with handwritten amendments discussing "insurgency" and "what it has done with religion and the churches." 1 p. with handwritten amendments covering concrete railroad ties, "for everybody knows that lumber is getting scarce, and will grow scarcer." 2 pp. on "Our Next Engineering Achievement" at Panama, "compelling the Labrador current to pass over the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, and otherwise obstruct the icebergs and fogs that come down upon trans-Atlantic steamships." 1 p. with handwritten amendments on agricultural education in the United States. 4 pp. with handwritten amendments, providing a viewpoint on the topic of "Pensioning Old Age." Discusses Socialism, party lines, the Civil War. Most pp. 8.5" x 11", a few smaller. Generally all about very good: small hole to contract affecting two characters of text, small hole to letter not interfering with any content, a few items creased at old folds, one with a small split, some age toning. OCLC shows holdings of four of Powell's published books and one published article, but none of any manuscripts. "He Who Won the World" (subtitled "A Poem of the Twentieth Century Christ") appears solely in Brown University's holdings, and only in microfilm format.
