Letter from Hon. John D. Crimmins, President-General of the Society.

40 EAST 68TH STREET, NEW YORK,
APRIL 15, 1901.

MY DEAR MR. MURRAY:—It is with pleasure I acknowledge the receipt of your advice that the Annual Volume of our Historical Society is about ready for distribution to our members.

This will be the third volume so distributed, the series showing a constant increase in historical value and interest. We have undertaken a task and set a high standard, to which are attached great responsibilities, which must be maintained and continued. I trust the end of the twentieth century will find our society still vigorous.

During the last century many pretentious efforts were made to collect and publish matters of general interest in regard to the Irish and their descendants in America. They failed primarily for want of an organization to support their efforts. The organization we have; the means we require. Work of this character costs much, and cannot be continued on a scale to do it justice, without a substantial treasury.

We would have ample means modestly to continue our work without extending it beyond prudent requirements, if each member of the Society would pay his annual dues.

The honor of belonging to such a Society as ours should be a matter of pride with our members and everyone should keep in good standing. It is a requirement that dues should be paid. It would certainly be a reflection on a member to be dropped, and still there is no alternative.

Any of our annual members may become life members by the payment of $50. A number of gentlemen have already taken this step, and their generosity is to be commended as having been specially helpful to the Society. If this letter be circulated among our members, I would urge as many as possible to present their names for life membership. From the dues thus derived, I hope to see established a permanent fund, which when wisely and safely invested, will assure the Society an income with which to go forward and enlarge its work.

It should be borne in mind that the American-Irish Historical Society is not a political organization. Its object is the study and handing down of Irish and Irish-American history, and it should be brought to the highest possible standard.

Thus far, our career as an historical organization has been replete with earnest and successful work. The future is bright for a continuance of our great mission; the field is large, the cause noble, the end patriotic, far-reaching, magnificent.

In conclusion let me again urge our members to come forward in answer to this appeal, with their contributions, large and small. There are but a few hundred dollars in our treasury, when there should be thousands.

It will be highly encouraging to the officers of the Society to see that this appeal is met with a prompt and generous response.

With my heartiest and kindest greetings to all our members, believe me

Fraternally,
JOHN D. CRIMMINS,
_President-General_.

TO THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY,
_Secretary-General_.

Footnote 7:

This name appears in the writings of the subject of this paper both as
“MacSparran” and “McSparran.” In his work “America Dissected,” he
repeatedly spells it “MacSparran,” while on other occasions he
frequently uses the abbreviated form “McSparran.”

Footnote 8:

In Mac Sparran’s time great latitude was exercised, even by educated
people, in the matter of orthography, including proper names.

Footnote 9:

It will be noticed that Dr. Mac Sparran never uses the cant term
“Scotch-Irish.” His education, good sense and patriotic spirit raised
him above such a subterfuge.

Footnote 10:

Dean Berkeley, the famous “Kilkenny scholar,” located near Newport, R.
I., in 1729, and on various occasions visited MacSparran. Berkeley was
subsequently made Anglican bishop of Cloyne, in Ireland.

Footnote 11:

Recently deceased. Librarian of the Rhode Island Historical Society.

Footnote 12:

A small remnant of the Narragansett nation still exists, chiefly at or
near Westerly, R. I. Few, if any, of these survivors, are of pure
Indian blood.

Footnote 13:

The claim has been made that the slaves were kindly treated in Rhode
Island. No doubt they were in many cases, but so, in some instances,
were those in the South. Still, at the best it was slavery, and the
very nature of this traffic in human beings must have been equivalent
to injustice, oppression and cruelty.

Footnote 14:

This Dr. Giles Goddard was the father of William Goddard who, in 1762,
established the Providence (R. I.) _Gazette_, the first paper ever
printed at Providence.

Footnote 15:

Captain Wilkinson was an Irishman who resided at Newport, but was an
intimate friend of Dr. MacSparran, Col. Updike and other prominent
Narragansett people.

Footnote 16:

In Narragansett, R. I.

Footnote 17:

This was Gilbert Stuart, who afterwards became the famous painter. The
name in MacSparran’s time appears to have also been spelled Stewart.

that section of the state also bears his name.

Footnote 23:

Ramsay’s History was written by the son of an Irish Protestant. An
edition was published in 1805 by Mathew Carey, a native-born Irish
Catholic. A list of subscribers to the work was printed with it and
here also is another instance of the presence of the Gael. The name of
Thomas Addis Emmet appropriately heads the list, and the names
following are Irish enough to please the most blue-blooded Milesian:
James Buckley, Matthew Carroll, Philip Whelpley, Katherine Mulligan,
James Doyle, J. W. McFadden, Charles O’Neal, John D. Toy, Henry C.
Neal, Daniel Fagan, Andrew Fleming, William Hickey, John McLeod,
Bernard O’Neal, John H. Riley, William Carroll, Patrick Gill, John

Gatlin, Robert Malone, J. S. Bryan, and Daniel Murphy.

Footnote 24:

Recently deceased. Mr. Walsh was a founder of our society and was
vice-president for Georgia. He had been a United States senator from
that state, and was editor and publisher of the _Augusta_ (Ga.)
_Chronicle_, one of the leading dailies of the South. The article here
given is a condensation of an address delivered by him a few years ago
at Nashville, on “Irish-American Day” at the Tennessee Exposition.
