Synopsis
The General Repository by Andrews Norton collects reviews and notices spanning war memory, science, travel, religion, and culture in a mid-19th-century American periodical issue. It interlaces war narratives and memorial material—such as Lady Harriet’s endurance under Burgoyne’s army, a four-hour artillery action near the Hudson, the perilous crossing to meet General Gates, and a funeral scene for General Fraser—with biblical and theological reflection on providence in the aftermath of conflict. A lengthy geological and mineralogical review surveys cabinet collections at Harvard, Yale, Bowdoin, and other colleges, debates over rock nomenclature, and regional geology around Boston and the Atlantic seaboard. The travel narrative reviews F. Cuming’s Tour in Ohio (1807–1808), detailing frontier growth, commerce, immigration, slavery, education, and resources. Additional sections cover sermons, Maryland history, poetry critique, Harvard and educational notices, library sales, foreign publications, and editor’s outlook. The issue exemplifies early American scientific and literary culture and the infrastructure of knowledge in the era.
