Dorn James Augustes (1812-1869) (Samuel Dorr) 24. JAMES A. DORR A token of gratitude and esteem from his friend 0. C. Everett July 17, 1832. James Norr died of cancer at my father's house in Boston in the summer of 1869, where I remember Mr. Everett coming to visit him in his illness and speak- ing of this incident with much feeling. In Europe his travels took him, after a stay in Paris for study, to Constantinople, Palestine and Syria, a where he made copious notes and sketches, planning to write a book, suggested no doubt by Lemartine's Voyage en Orient, which had recently been published and was widely read. But, the materials at hand, the book remained unwritten. While he was still studying in Paris, word came to my grandfather that he had become 'an infidel', an unbeliever in the accepted New England faith, and he wrote him the following letter: R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 27 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 [18 Commonwealth Ave] (Samuel Dorr) 25. Boston, April 7, 1835. My dear Son, I wrote you a few days ago; I now write you upon a particular and very important subject, and hope soon after the receipt of this you will write me a catagor- ical answer in reply -- that I may be relieved from any and all uncertainty. It has lately been said to me that you had changed your religious views; and, in fact, that you had become infidel in principle. You may readily suppose this was extremely unpleasant in- formation to one who had expected so much from your moral and religious life. I am, in fact, not disposed to believe the story; but hope you will write me a true and unvarnished account of your feeling and views in regard to this most important of all subjects. But in order to satisfy me, I hope and trust that you will not write anything but your real views. I should be glad to have that letter written so disconnected with other matter as that I might, if needful, show it to anyone whom I wished to inform. I am aware that it is a dangerous thing for a young man who is not well rooted R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic COPY Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 (Samuel Dorr) 26. in moral and religious principles to travel and be amongst immoral and bad characters. But as all your elder brothers have gone through the same ordeal "un- fettered" so far as I am informed, I have had great hopes that you would also pass the fiery trial in the same, if not improved, state of moral feeling. You are aware that I did not, and I may say now that I do not, approve of too sanguine or ardent professions nor of uncharitable and denounciatory condemnations of others for mere belief. But I think it highly proper that everyone should let it be known what are his views and what his hopes. We have in this land of freedom an immense amount of infidelity and crime for they go together and we have also a spirit of insubordination to the laws and a disposition to licentiousness. Witness the frequent riots and mobs which have visited Philadelphia, New York and the neighborhood of Boston this year. And witness the great pains taken to introduce infidel principles into our society. There has been really as much pains taken in this city to inculcate wicked and erroneous views into the ignorant part of our population as would R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. COPY New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 (Samuel Dorr) 27. have wrought a great and good work had they been well directed. But what can be done? "The poor ye shall always have", and the wicked we shall also have to the time of the milenium -- and perhaps even in that great and good time prophesied, there may be evil extant, al- though in very small degree and proportion. Our faith is very important to our lives; "As a man thinketh so is he." In a man's opinions are the issues of life. Without good principles and fixed resolutions we are subject to be driven about as a ship without a rudder. But I did not sit down to write my opinions, but to elicit yours. You know my ideas too well to need any new evidence of them. We are perhaps too apt to form opinions from the people we are amongst. Insensibly we imbibe good and also evil habits and modes of thinking and acting; there- fore it is dangerous (as I have already said) to go abroad without fixed and determinate views. There is one thing more to which I would call your attention -- and that is that it is dangerous to be too strongly set for or against any proposition, R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street COPY Boston, MA 02116 (Samuel Dorr) 28. too sanguine and too assured in our opinions for or against any proposition. There are few things com- paratively that we know there are many that we fully believe; that which we know, we may assert with confidence. I once heard a Universalist preacher say he had been of six or seven different persuasions, and he thought he was right in the whole at the time he had them; but now, said he, I know I am right. There is a great deal of what is called knowledge in the world of this kind. They who are wise will avoid great know- ledge, but will study well into probabilities -- and when they gain a little real knowledge, they will hold it dear, and make much of it. But knowledge is all vain without wisdom and virtue. Let us hold fast the faith once delivered to the Saints; the few important and soul-delivering points which make us wise to salvation. I am, very affectionately, Your parent, Samuel Dorr. Addressed to Mr. James Augustus Dorr Rue Bergere No 7 (2 bis) Paris Care of Messrs. Welles & Green Havre, France. 1 COPY (Samuel Dorr) 29. On his return to America he became associated with Charles Goodyear, inventor of the process by which rubber was vulcanized and made useful, a great industrial discovery which should have led on to large rewards but Goodyear became involved in law- suits over patents and others reaped where he had sown. James Dorr, like his brothers George and Francis, 1870 - spent a good deal of time in Paris during the Third Empire period, when they all, including their sister Mrs. Edwards, became, like many Americans who visited Paris in those days, ardent admirers of the Napoleonic dynasty, the First and Third Emperors the Third then seeming a great figure, too, with the prestige of the First Napoleon behind him, a well-equipped army at his call, and the most brilliant city in the world his capital; and James Dorr translated and published, at his own expense, a little book printed originally in 1839 at Brussels by Prince Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte -- the Third Napoleon, but in exile then -- entitled "Idees Napoleoniennes", Napoleonic Ideas. I have a handsomely R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept.

DORR with the affectionate regards of James A. Dorr July 4, 1868. In his early days as boy and college student, James Dorr seems to have had an extraordinary power of concentration and will-control, in illustration of which I remember from my own boyhood a tale told of him, how when he first came to Exeter he went out with other boys on their way to swim. This he had not learned to do, but watching the others plunging off the wharf, and seeing how they swam, he made up his mind that what they did he too could do, and taking off his clothes, plunged in after them and swam. The tale seems scarce credible, but it came to me on good authority. R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept.

Between these older and younger sons of Samuel Dorr by his first marriage there came a single daughter, Martha Ann Dorr, who was married when not yet nineteen years of age to Henry Edwards of Northampton, Massachu- setts, but then resident in Boston, a direct descendant of Jonathan Edwards, America's most famous theologian. He was older than she and seemed to her father, no doubt, a suitable and safe match, but he had not the qualities to make the marriage happy. Children were born to them, of whom two among several, a daughter and a son, Emily and Henry, grew up to entrance on womanhood and manhood only to die as they approached maturity. They were both, by all accounts -- for they died before my time -- full of promise and of devotion to their mother, and their death, one following the other in quick succession, cast a shadow over her whole later life. This was the period when faith as the evidence of things unseen, on which rested the whole Puritan tradi- tion, had ceased to satisfy in the presence of the times' R.

She and my father's sister, Susan Dorr her half-sister -- who made for many years their home together, financed the trip that John Fiske, then a rising young exponent of the Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill philosophy, made to England for the purpose of meeting them and others of that group; and he wrote them back long, interesting letters des- cribing what he found, which I remember having read to me by them as a boy and concerning which John Fiske's executors, long afterward, wrote me in anxious search, to find and print. But my aunts had destroyed them, on account, no doubt, of certain caustic criticisms they contained on the people he went out to meet -- Spencer especially.
