# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Harrison, Sarah

Edition of 1892.
​HARRISON, Sarah, Quaker preacher, b. in Delaware county, Pa., about 1748; d. in Philadelphia, Pa., 29 Dec., 1812. She was the daughter of Rowland Richards, and after her marriage to Thomas Harrison settled in Philadelphia. She first preached in the Quaker meetings during the Revolution, and was acknowledged a minister in 1781. Accompanied by Mary England she attended the yearly meeting of Friends in Virginia in 1786, and was afterward liberated by her monthly meeting to attend the meetings of Friends in the southern states. In 1787 she attended the North Carolina yearly meeting, in which the question of slavery was discussed, and a committee appointed to visit slave-holders. She returned to Philadelphia in 1788, and in 1792 visited London and Dublin and travelled on the continent of Europe, where she was held prisoner for several days by the French on suspicion of being an English spy. — Her son, John, manufacturer, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., 17 Dec., 1773; d. there, 19 May, 1833. His early education was obtained in Philadelphia, after which he spent two years in Europe, devoting his attention to acquiring a knowledge of the processes used by chemists in manufacturing, and also in studying chemistry under Dr. Joseph Priestley. In 1793 he began in Philadelphia the manufacture of chemicals, and was the first successful maker of sulphuric acid in the United States. He had a lead chamber capable of producing 300 carboys, and in 1807 so increased his plant that an annual output of 3,500 carboys was possible. The use of glass retorts for the concentration of the acid was then prevalent, and Dr. Eric Bollman, who was familiar with the metallurgy of platinum, constructed for Mr. Harrison the first platinum stills that were used in the United States in connection with the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Subsequently the plant was again increased by the building of white-lead works, resulting in the production of various lead compounds and other chemicals. Mr. Harrison is credited with doing more to influence the establishment of chemical industries in Philadelphia than any man of his time. The business is now carried on by his grandsons. From 1821 till 1824 he held the office of recorder of deeds in Philadelphia.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hart, Charles Henry

Edition of 1892.
​HART, Charles Henry, author, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., 4 Feb., 1847. He received a classical and scientific education, studied law, and was admitted to the bar, 18 Nov., 1868. Since then, although in active practice, he has devoted much time to literature. He has paid special attention to historical investigation and art matters, until he has become recognized as an authority on the latter subject. He is a member of numerous historical and scientific associations, was elected corresponding secretary of the Numismatic and antiquarian society of Philadelphia, in 1865, and three years later became its historiographer. Much of his literary work has been done in connection with this society. Mr. Hart's separate publications include “Remarks on Tabasco, Mexico” (1865); “Historical Sketch of National Medals” (1866); “Memoir of William Hickling Prescott” (1868); “Bibliographia Lincolniana” with notes, and an introduction, which was subsequently reprinted as “Biographical Sketch of Abraham Lincoln” (Albany, 1870); “Turner, the Dream Painter” (1879); “Bibliographia Websteriana” (1883); and memoirs of William Willis (1870), George Ticknor (1871), Samuel S. Haldeman (1881), Lewis H. Morgan (1883), Lucius Q. C. Elmer (1884), and others. In May, 1870, he delivered a “Discourse on the Life and Services of Gulian C. Verplanck,” which was printed. He has in preparation a “Treatise on the Doctrine of Equitable Conversion,” based on the English work of Leigh and Dalzell (London, 1825).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Harvard, John

Edition of 1892.
​HARVARD, John, philanthropist, b. in Southwark, London, England, in November, 1607; d. in Charlestown, Mass., 24 Sept., 1638. His father, Robert Harvard, was a butcher. His mother, possessing some property, sent John to Emmanuel college, Cambridge, where he was graduated in 1635. Subsequently he was ordained as a dissenting minister, and in 1637 married Ann Sadler, the daughter of a Sussex clergyman, and sailed for New England, where he was made a freeman of Massachusetts on 2 Nov. of that year. It appears on the town-records that in 1638 a tract of land was deeded to him in Charlestown, where he exercised his ministerial functions. In April, 1638, he was appointed one of a committee “to consider of some things tending toward a body of laws.” At his death his property was worth about £1,500, one half of which he left for the erection of the college that bears his name. A part of this bequest is said to have been diverted from its original purpose. He also left to the college a library of 320 volumes, which indicated the taste of a scholar. The alumni erected a granite monument to his memory in the burial-ground of Charlestown, which was dedicated with an address by Edward Everett, 26 Sept., 1828. A memorial statue of Harvard, the gift of Samuel James Bridge to the university, was unveiled, 15 Oct., 1884, with an address by Rev. George Edward Ellis (Cambridge, 1884). The illustration represents the first Harvard hall, which was burned, and was replaced by the present structure in 1766.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hassaurek, Friedrich

Edition of 1892.
​HASSAUREK, Friedrich, journalist, b. in Vienna, Austria, 9 Oct., 1832; d. in Paris, France, 3 Oct., 1885. He served in the student legion in the German revolution of 1848, and was twice wounded. He came to the United States in 1848, settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, and engaged in journalism, politics, and the practice of law. He was U. S. minister to Ecuador in 1861-'5, and during the latter year became editor of the Cincinnati “Volksblatt.” He published “Four Years among the Spanish-Americans” (New York, 1868).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hart, Abraham

Edition of 1892.
​HART, Abraham, publisher, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., 15 Dec., 1810; d. in Long Branch, N. J., 22 July, 1885. He was of Dutch parentage. When a mere boy he was taken into the employ of the publishing firm of Carey, Lea and Carey. In 1829 the firm divided its business; a partnership was formed between Mr. Hart and Edward L. Carey, the junior member of the old firm, and the house of Carey and Hart became the best-known publishing house in the country. It was the first to collect the fugitive essays of Macaulay, Jeffrey, Mackintosh, Carlyle, and others and publish them in separate volumes. Mr. Carey died in 1845, and Mr. Hart continued the publishing business until 1854, when he retired with a handsome fortune. Mr. Hart was a member of the Jewish community, and took a chief part in its worthiest projects.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hartwick, John Christopher

Edition of 1892.
​HARTWICK, or HARTWIG, John Christopher, clergyman, b. in Saxa-Gotha, Germany, 6 June, 1714; d. in Livingston Manor, N. Y., 17 July, 1796. He is said to have studied at the University of Halle, and engaged in missionary work among the Jews, at the age of twenty-five years. In 1745 he was called to this country in order to take charge of several Lutheran congregations in Dutchess and Columbia counties, N. Y., and was ordained, 24 Nov., in the German Lutheran church in London. In the spring of 1746 he arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., and, after visiting several of the Lutheran pastors in Pennsylvania, went to New York state and entered on his duties as pastor of congregations at Germantown, Livingston, Wirtemberg, and Rhinebeck. In 1748 he was present in Philadelphia at the organization of the first Lutheran synod. He was somewhat eccentric, and consequently unfortunate in his ministry; and being exceedingly restless, he moved from place to place. In 1751-'2 he was in Pennsylvania, in 1755 in New York, in 1757 at Reading, Pa., in 1761-'2 at Trappe, in 1764 in Philadelphia, then successively in Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine, and in 1783 in New York, where he urged the Dutch Lutherans to remain in the city, and not follow their pastor, Hansihl, who, being a royalist during the Revolution, fled with many of his parishioners to Nova Scotia, after the evacuation of New York by the British forces. Mr. Hartwick left a large estate, which he had purchased from the Mohawk Indians — “a certain tract of land on the south side of Mohawk river, between Schoharie and Cherry valley, along a certain small creek, containing nine miles in length and four miles in breadth,” located in Otsego county, and included in the present town of Hartwick. His sole purpose in this purchase was to use his property for the glory of God and the spreading of his kingdom; and he made his bequest accordingly. In his will he directed that his estate should be used for the establishment of a college and theological seminary. For a time after his death the income of the estate was used to instruct young men privately in the classics and theology; and in 1815 the contemplated institution was opened, under the name of Hartwick seminary. The present buildings are valued at $30,000, and the endowments at $35,000.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hartt, Charles Frederick

Edition of 1892.
​HARTT, Charles Frederick, naturalist, b. in Fredericton, N. B., 23 Aug., 1840; d. in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, 18 March, 1878. He was graduated at Acadia college, Wolfville, N. S., in 1860, but before completing his course had made extensive geological explorations in Nova Scotia. In 1860 he accompanied his father, Jarvis William Hartt, to St. John, N. B., where they established a college high-school. He at once began to study the geology of New Brunswick, and devoted special attention to the Devonian shales, in which he discovered an abundance of land plants and insects. The latter still remain the oldest known to science. His work met the notice of Louis Agassiz, by whose invitation he entered the Museum of comparative anatomy in Cambridge as a student. He received an appointment on the geological survey of New Brunswick in 1864, and discovered the first proof of primordial strata in that province. He was one of the geologists of the Thayer expedition to Brazil in 1865, and since then has been the chief modern investigator of South American natural history. He explored the neighborhood of the coast from Rio Janeiro to Bahia while on this expedition, making large zoological collections, and with the material collected prepared his “Geology and Physical Geography of Brazil” (Boston, 1870). In 1868 he was elected professor of natural history in Vassar, but later in the same year he was called to the chair of geology and physical geography in Cornell. Two years afterward, and again in 1871, he made trips of exploration to the valley of the Amazon. At the request of the Brazilian minister of agriculture he visited Rio Janeiro in August, 1874, and submitted plans for the organization of a Brazilian geological commission. He was appointed in May, 1875, chief of the geological surveys of the empire, and continued in that office till his death. His collections are displayed in the National museum, of which in 1876 he was made director, and form the most complete repository of South American geology in the world. Prof. Hartt was a member of various scientific societies, and in 1869 was elected general secretary of the American association for the advancement of science. He contributed occasional articles to scientific journals, and, besides the book mentioned above, published “Contributions to the Geology and Physical Geography of the Lower Amazons” (Buffalo, 1874).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Haskell, Abraham

Edition of 1892.
​HASKELL, Abraham, physician, b. in Lancaster, Mass., 16 Nov., 1746; d. in Ashby, Middlesex co., Mass., 13 Dec., 1834. He followed the trade of a shoemaker till he was of age, but was fitted for Harvard, studied medicine under Israel Atherton, of Lancaster, and began his practice in Lunenburg. He removed thence to Leominster in 1810, and in 1833 joined his son, who was a physician in Ashby. He became a member of the Massachusetts medical society soon after its establishment, was a successful practitioner, and labored faithfully during the spotted-fever panic in Worcester county. He wrote chiefly for his amusement, but read dissertations on “Croup,” “Spotted Fever,” and other subjects before the Massachusetts medical society, which were published in its “Transactions.” He also printed a paper on “Ichthyosis,” in the “New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery.” He delivered a fourth of July oration at Fitchburg, which was published.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hassler, Ferdinand Rudolph

Edition of 1892.
HASSLER, Ferdinand Rudolph, surveyor, b. in Aarau, Switzerland, 6 Oct., 1770: d. in Philadelphia, Pa., 20 Nov., 1843. He received a scientific education in Europe, and was for some time connected with the trigonometrical survey of Switzerland. Subsequently he emigrated to the United States, and through the influence of Albert Gallatin secured an appointment at the U. S. military academy as acting professor of mathematics, which he held in 1807-'10, and in 1810-'11 he served in a similar capacity in Union college. He was then selected to direct the U. S. coast survey, and sent on a mission to France and England to procure instruments and standards of measurement. He was detained in England as an alien enemy till 1815, and ​on his return was formally appointed superintendent of the coast survey, but did not begin his field-work until 1817. During the following year the work was discontinued, and was not resumed until 1832. After this he was the active head of the survey until his death. During his administration a base-line had been measured in the vicinity of New York. The triangulation had been extended as far east as Rhode Island and south to the head of Chesapeake bay. The topography had kept pace with the triangulation, and the hydrography of New York bay, of Long Island, of Delaware bay and river, and the off-shore soundings from Montauk point to the capes of the Delaware, were substantially completed. The triangulation covered an area of 9,000 square miles, furnishing determinations of nearly 1,200 stations for the delineation of 1,600 miles of shore-line. Prof. Hassler was also for many years chief of the bureau of weights and measures. He was a fellow of the American philosophical society, and contributed papers to its “Transactions” pertaining to his work on the survey. Besides his annual reports of the coast survey, and as superintendent of the fabrication of standard weights and measures (Washington, 1837-'42), he published “Analytical Trigonometry ” (New York, 1826); “Elements of Geometry” (Richmond, 1828); “System of the Universe,” with plates and tables (2 vols., New York, 1828); “Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables” (1838); and “Elements of Arithmetic” (1843).

# Armenians Active in European War

Fort Wayne Journal Gazette - 1914-11-13
PETROGRAD (Via London) Nov. 13 2:50 p.m.—Reports reaching the Russian capital from the Turkish border attach increasing importance to the part the Armenians are playing in the Russian–Turkish war.
In several towns occupied by the Russians, the Armenian students have shown themselves ready to join the invading army, and explained that they had prepared themselves for the Russian approach by constant drilling and by gathering arms secretly. All along the line of march, according to these dispatches, the Armenian peasants are receiving Russian troops with enthusiasm and giving them provisions freely.
An Armenian newspaper, referring to this crisis in the history of Armenia, published the following:
“The long anticipated day of deliverance for the Turkish-Armenians is at hand, and the Armenians are prepared for any sacrilege made necessary by the performance of their manifest duty”.
From this border country there has come to Petrograd further reports of armed conflicts from the refusal of Armenians to become Turkish conscripts and surrender their arms. It is now rumored that the important city of Van is to-day besieged by Armenian guerilla bands in great force. In Feituen these bands is said to exceed 20,000 in number and they are reported to have defeated all Turkish troops sent against them.
