The Reverend John Witherspoon, president of the College of New Jersey at Princeton (1768–94), was the only clergyman to sign the Declaration of Independence. Like other Presbyterian ministers, Witherspoon abhorred violence but reluctantly conceded that revolution was necessary as the last resort against tyranny. In June 1776, as one of New Jersey’s delegates to the Second Continental Congress, Witherspoon rose from his seat in response to another member’s claim that the country was not ready for independence. On the contrary, Witherspoon declared, the country was “not only ripe for the measure, but in danger of becoming rotten for the want of it.”
Twelve members of the Continental Congress were former students of Witherspoon. Through his college instruction and preaching, he would continue to have an outsize influence on the country’s future leaders, counting among his pupils a president, a vice-president, twenty-eight U.S. senators, and forty-nine members of the House of Representatives.
Nacido en Gifford, Escocia
El reverendo John Witherspoon, presidente del College of New Jersey en Princeton (1768–94), fue el único clérigo que firmó la Declaración de Independencia. Como otros ministros presbiterianos, Witherspoon aborrecía la violencia, pero admitió, aunque a disgusto, que la revolución era necesaria como último recurso contra la tiranía. En junio de 1776, siendo delegado de Nueva Jersey en el Segundo Congreso Continental, Witherspoon se levantó de su asiento para contradecir a otro miembro que afirmaba que el país no estaba listo para la independencia. El país, dijo Witherspoon, “no solo está maduro para esta medida, sino en peligro de podrirse a falta de ella”.
Doce miembros del Congreso Continental eran antiguos estudiantes de Witherspoon. A través de sus cursos en la universidad y sus prédicas, seguiría ejerciendo una enorme influencia en los futuros líderes del país, contando entre sus discípulos a un presidente y un vicepresidente, así como 28 senadores y 49 representantes.

Previously considered lost, this mezzotint of George Washington, by American painter Charles Willson Peale, was rediscovered by a National Portrait Gallery curator in the 1990s. The historic portrait was subsequently acquired from a Boston area collection, where it had long been misattributed.
Peale based this likeness on a portrait he had painted from life in 1776. In October 1778, he noted in his diary that he “began a Drawing in order to make a Medzo-tinto of Genl. Washington.” As one of the earliest, most accurate images of the commander in chief available to other printmakers, the portrait spawned many copies. Versions appeared as illustrations in almanacs and children’s books throughout Washington’s life.
Nacido en Westmoreland County, Virginia
Considerada perdida, esta mezzotinta de George Washington, obra del pintor estadounidense Charles Willson Peale, fue redescubierta en la década de 1990 por una curadora de la National Portrait Gallery. El histórico retrato se adquirió posteriormente, hallándose en una colección del área de Boston donde se le había atribuido un autor incorrecto.
Peale basó esta imagen en un retrato que había pintado del natural en 1776. En octubre de 1778 anotó en su diario que había “comenzado un dibujo a fin de hacer una mezzotinta del Gral. Washington”. Esta fue una de las imágenes más tempranas y fieles del comandante en jefe que estuvieron al alcance de otros grabadores, y se produjeron numerosas copias. En vida de Washington aparecieron versiones ilustrando almanaques y libros infantiles.
