O que revelar? o que esconder? imprensa & maçonaria no findar do dezenove (Pará, 1872-1892)

A atuação maçônica na imprensa paraense do século XIX (1872-1892) é entendida nesta dissertação a partir do contraponto entre o revelar e o esconder. Destacam-se, sobretudo, dois momentos distintos dessa mesma operação. No primeiro, a maçonaria abandona em parte sua postura reservada e decide criar um jornal oficial (O Pelicano) para fazer frente aos ditames ultramontanos (A Boa Nova). E, no segundo, ela retorna a sua condição inicial suspendendo a circulação da publicação, mas sem necessariamente retirar-se do meio jornalístico. De maneira que segredo e publicidade se intercalavam nas “vozes” dos representantes da instituição. A pesquisa permitiu a identificação nominal de um conjunto amplo de maçons e deu conta de demonstrar algumas das tensões e conflitos que ora os aproximava como “irmãos” e ora os colocava definitivamente em lados opostos na imprensa, nas lojas, na vida. Levando em consideração as mudanças de ordem social (Abolição) e política (República) que aconteceram ao longo da temporalidade abordada, este trabalho discute ainda o modo pelo qual os discursos, práticas e representações dos maçons paraenses se articulavam com as transformações que a um só tempo atingiram a província do Pará e a sociedade imperial.

Geochemistry of some manganese nodules

The manganese nodules occur in greater or less quantity all over the ocean-bed, and most abundantly in the Pacific. They occur in all sizes, from minute grains to masses of a pound weight, and even greater, and form nodular concretions of concentric shells, round a nucleus, which is very frequently a piece of pumice or a shark's tooth. Their outside has a peculiar and very characteristic mammillated surface, which enables them to be identified at a glance. When freshly brought up they are very soft, being easily scraped to powder with a knife. They gradually get harder on exposure to the air. The powder, heated in a closed tube, gives out water which re-acts alkaline, and has an empyreumatic odour. Heated with strong hydrochloric acid, it liberates abundance of chlorine, and the residue which remains is white, consisting of silica, clay, and sand, the sand being the same as is found in the bottom mud from the same locality. Their composition varies greatly, different nodules containing different quantities of mechanically admixed mud, and the number of different elements found in them is very large. Copper, iron, cobalt, nickel, manganese, alumina, lime, magnesia, silica, and phosphoric acid have been detected in a large number; but I have not as yet been able to make a complete analysis of any of them. I have, however, made a few determinations of the most important component substances. For this purpose the outside and densest layers of the nodules were selected, and portions of them were pulverised and dried for ten or twelve hours at 140° C. The amount of chlorine liberated on treatment with hydrochloric acid was determined by Bunsen's method, and the iron was determined by titration with stannous chloride. The samples analysed were from four different localities.

Guarantee of financial support for student James Savage, signed by William Tudor and John Cooper, 1799 July 25

This legal agreement, a guarantee of financial support for entering student James Savage (A.B. 1803), was signed on July 25, 1799 by his two guarantors, William Tudor and John Cooper. The document was also signed by two witnesses, William Tudor's sons John Henry Tudor and Frederic Tudor. The agreement specifies that, in the event of Savage's failure to settle all financial obligations to the President and Fellows of Harvard College during the course of his studies, the two guarantors would be responsible for a payment of two hundred ounces of silver. It seems that the Tudors and Cooper were relatives of Savage, thus explaining their desire to assure his entry to Harvard by entering into this financial obligation.

Student mathematical notebook of William Tudor, 1795

Notebook containing the handwritten mathematical exercises of William Tudor, kept in 1795 while he was an undergraduate at Harvard College. The volume contains rules, definitions, problems, drawings, and tables on geometry, trigonometry, surveying, calculating distances, sailing, and dialing. Some of the exercises are illustrated with hand-drawn diagrams. The Menusration of Heights and Distances section contains color drawings of buildings and trees, and some have been altered with notes in different hands and with humorous additions. For instance, a drawing of a tower was drawn into a figure titled “Egyptian Mummy.” Some of the images are identified: “A rude sketch of the Middlesex canal,” Genl Warren’s monument on Bunker Hill,” “Noddles Island,” “the fields of Elysium,” and the “Roxbury Canal.” The annotations and additional drawings are unattributed.
