Important Communications on Teetotalism; addressed to Mr. Mathew--Drunkenness; its evils-- Temperance; its happy results-- Objections to Total Abstinence noticed--Appeal to the higher Orders, and to the Clergy --the Temperance Pledge, Sfc. fyc. In the course of this mission, Mr. Mathew received congratulatory communications from many respectable and influential quarters, and addresses from several Temperance Societies. Amongst the first of these was an address from an English Total Abstinence Association, of which the Earl of Stanhope is president, containing an invitation to Mr. Mathew to attend the anniversary of the Society, to be celebrated on the 14th of May; and another, a beautiful and classic one, from the Temperance Society of the ancient town of Wexford. On some future occasion I may have the pleasure of laying all these important documents before my readers; for the present, I shall confine myself to a few that will sufficiently indicate the tone and feeling prevading all. March 26th, 1840. The Members of the Westminister Friendly Temperance Society, to the Very Rev. T. Mathew. "Rev. Sir, "We, the undersigned members of the above Society, having heard with unspeakable pleasure of the glorious success attending your exertions in the cause of Temperance in Ireland, and of your intention of shortly visiting this country, humbly and most respectfully beg to inform you, that it is our intention, in furtherance of the good cause in which we are all embarked, to hold a public meeting, attended with a dinner, on Easter Monday next, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, at which meeting an honourable and distinguished nobleman has kindly promised to take the chair, and when several other influential gentlemen have...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Puleo has found a new way to tell the story with this well-researched and splendidly written chronicle of the Jamestown, its captain, and an Irish priest who ministered to the starving in Cork city...Puleo’s tale, despite the hardship to come, surely is a tribute to the better angels of America’s nature, and in that sense, it couldn’t be more timely.” —The Wall Street Journal The remarkable story of the mission that inspired a nation to donate massive relief to Ireland during the potato famine and began America's tradition of providing humanitarian aid around the world More than 5,000 ships left Ireland during the great potato famine in the late 1840s, transporting the starving and the destitute away from their stricken homeland. The first vessel to sail in the other direction, to help the millions unable to escape, was the USS Jamestown, a converted warship, which left Boston in March 1847 loaded with precious food for Ireland. In an unprecedented move by Congress, the warship had been placed in civilian hands, stripped of its guns, and committed to the peaceful delivery of food, clothing, and supplies in a mission that would launch America’s first full-blown humanitarian relief effort. Captain Robert Bennet Forbes and the crew of the USS Jamestown embarked on a voyage that began a massive eighteen-month demonstration of soaring goodwill against the backdrop of unfathomable despair—one nation’s struggle to survive, and another’s effort to provide a lifeline. The Jamestown mission captured hearts and minds on both sides of the Atlantic, of the wealthy and the hardscrabble poor, of poets and politicians. Forbes’ undertaking inspired a nationwide outpouring of relief that was unprecedented in size and scope, the first instance of an entire nation extending a hand to a foreign neighbor for purely humanitarian reasons. It showed the world that national generosity and brotherhood were not signs of weakness, but displays of quiet strength and moral certitude. In Voyage of Mercy, Stephen Puleo tells the incredible story of the famine, the Jamestown voyage, and the commitment of thousands of ordinary Americans to offer relief to Ireland, a groundswell that provided the collaborative blueprint for future relief efforts, and established the United States as the leader in international aid. The USS Jamestown’s heroic voyage showed how the ramifications of a single decision can be measured not in days, but in decades.
