Thomas Foxcroft, Dr. Charles Chauncy's colleague; and by Rev. Samuel Niles's Vindication of Divers Important Gospel Doctrines. Other ministers were affected by these unorthodox views, notably Ebenezer Gay, Daniel Shute, and John Rogers.
J. Q. Adams's Memoirs are ever ready with the spice of personality to make its pages readable. The Register of Debates, the official publication of Congress which succeeded the former Annals of Congress and Niles's Weekly Register, published in Baltimore from 1811 to 1849, give the various phases of public opinion as it was expressed in Congress and in the newspapers of the time.

But I'd like to know a leetle more before I settle down. I wish I could make enough at something to be able to go to school next winter."
"It is certainly not your voice that I take down to the State House with me," broke in their representative. "Freight charges on it would more than eat up my mileage allowance.

The second period of American occupation lasted a little over two years, when the control of the government was again restored to the people of the island and the American troops were withdrawn. V, p. 443. "Madison's Works," Vol. II, p. 488. Niles's "Register," under date November 8, 1817.
Niles's school at Port William." "I shouldn't think you'd need to go any more," said Joanna Merwin. "I thought you knew everything." "Oh, bless me!" cried Susan. In former days the people of the interior the Mississippi Valley which used then to be called "the West," were very desirous of education for their children. But good teachers were scarce.
