MEMOIR AMONG prominent Bostonians of the first half of the nineteenth century Francis Calley Gray was preeminent for his oratory and erudition, two accomplishments more in repute in his day than in our own. He was born in Salem, September 19, 1790, SO that his young manhood covered the years of readjustment following our Revolution, and that period of intellectual awak- ening that stirred New England after the wars in France. His father, William Gray, later Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts, was the leading merchant of the time, with between thirty and forty ships sailing the oceans of the globe in pursuit of cargoes. In those days merchant ships were also the gatherers and dispensers of news, and the arrival of a ship was an event to stimulate a family of boys, with a father whose interests were world-wide. His mother, Elizabeth Chipman, x was already known as a woman whose intellectual ability kept 1809 x 6 pace with her growing household duties. Mr. Gray took his degree at Harvard in 1809, and went to 1822-8 Russia as an unpaid secretary to John Quincy Adams, then a young and promising statesman. Always a student, Gray began to fit himself for the law, finished his reading with Judge 1852-7 William Prescott, and was admitted to the bar in the Court of Common Pleas, November II, 1814. In the winter of 1814-15 he made a journey to Washington and Virginia in company with George Ticknor. The hardships endured in crossing Maryland in January, and the poverty with which the two young travellers came in contact, are vividly described in Ticknor's letters. They met many distinguished people in William Gray was the son of Abraham Gray, who married Lydia, daughter of Francis Calley, of an old Marblehead family; the name was pronounced Cawley," and was often so spelled in the early records. William had a brother, Francis Calley Gray, who died without issue in I790. x79 4 Washington and Richmond, including Madison and Jefferson. Two years later Gray was admitted to practice in the higher courts, but foreshadowed his tastes by delivering the same year an oration on history, before the $ B K Society. The Rev. John Pierce called it a "sensible" oration, and it no doubt had weight in procuring his election to the Massachusetts Histori- cal Society in January, 1818. He rose rapidly in the councils of the Society, serving on many committees and editing several volumes of the Collections. His personality, his wide and exact knowledge, as well as his readiness to serve every seeker for facts, soon made him the final authority in times of doubt and controversy. James Savage said that he had never known any one "SO distinguished in the universality of his studies," and added quaintly: "This distinction arose not solely from the number of degrees in the circumference of his knowledge, but equally from penetration toward the centre." Mr. Gray became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, May 25, 1819. He served as recording sec- retary, 1827-29; as corresponding secretary, 1831-37, and as a member of the Rumford Committee, 1833-37. Here he came to be on intimate terms with men of science, and in the later years of his life with Louis Agassiz. But these societies offered little opportunity for the exercise of his oratory as an expression of his deep interest in affairs, and he followed his father into public life. His voice already had the ring of a prophet, and in his address to the Massachu- setts Charitable Fire Society, October IO, 1817, he showed his grasp of world movements. His oration before the city au- thorities on the Fourth of July following his election to the Historical Society was in the opinion of good judges "one of the best in the whole range of Boston oratory." In the Legis- lature, to which he was elected in 1822, and in the State Senate, where he served, with the exception of a few terms, for the next two decades, he had scope for his knowledge of prison reform, the treatment of the insane, and the general legislation that affects property and personal rights. In 1826, soon after his election to the Senate, he became a Fellow of Harvard College, serving until 1836. This was a period when the Governor presided over the Board of Over- seers, and the affairs of the College were of quasi-public con- 5 cern. There were reports of decreasing attendance, increasing expenses of students, an unneeded surplus, too large a library, a system of education not adapted to practical ends, and the growing domination of Unitarianism - complaints "keeping each other in countenance," writes Mr. Gray to Governor Lincoln in 1831, "by their noise and their number." Mr. Gray's able and convincing refutation of the charges was printed and had a very wide reading. His keen mind and positive views brought him into relation with the orators of the time - Webster, Choate, and Sumner. A vigorous tilt with Sumner at the seven-day conference on prison reform, held at Tremont Temple in 1847, led to a pamphlet on "Prison Discipline in America," a notable attack on the solitary system of impris- onment, reprinted the next year in England. Norton and Webster spoke of it as exhaustive and convincing, and Ticknor wrote: "Gray's pamphlet has done its perfect work, and set- tled the question as between two systems of prison discipline. I never knew anything of the sort so well received or produce SO considerable effect." Mr. Gray gave liberally of his time to institutions that touched his sympathies, serving as vice- president of the Prison Discipline Society, chairman of the board of directors of the State Prison at Charlestown, trustee of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester from its estab- lishment, and as a trustee of the Massachusetts General Hos- pital. In the midst of his political and sociological work he welcomed invitations to prepare orations for such occasions as the State's recognition of Washington in 1832, the BK gather- ing at Brown University in 1842, and others where he could expound his views on civic problems. In 1841 Harvard made him a Doctor of Laws. Never was the honor more properly bestowed, for Mr. Gray had that rare combination - a memory for the accurate details of history and a mind alive to the laws of nations and the significance of great events. At Brown he contended that the eyes of Europe were upon America. The tyranny of the judiciary, equality of property and of condition, monopoly, and mob-law all are watchwords that call for sanity of judgment and a clear understanding of the meaning and limitations of liberty. He said: "The duty, which our situation calls on us to perform, is to exhibit to mankind a popular representative system of gov- HINOWINVI 6 ernment; and to prove to them by our example, not only that it is perfectly compatible with law, and order, and civilization, but that, rightly administered, it improves, in every respect, the social condition, humanizes the feelings, elevates the intel- lectual and moral character, secures the rights, and promotes the best interests and permanent happiness of the whole people. Such is the MISSION OF AMERICA." Mr. Gray was SO busily engaged in public affairs through the greater part of his life that it is difficult to picture him as an "antiquarian," although this is the designation which follows his name in biographical dictionaries. It is true, however, that his discovery of the Code of 1641, a manuscript copy of the early laws of Massachusetts, called "The Body of Liberties," and his elaborate and thorough elucidation of its origin, history, and value cleared away many misapprehensions that had in- jured the reputation of the early colonists, and placed him in the front rank of historical writers.1 When he became a propri- 1822 etor of the Boston Athenxum in 1822 he was recognized as a scholar and at once elected a Trustee, serving as an officer con- tinuously until his retirement as president of the Board of Trustees in 1837. He had a real appreciation of sculpture, painting, and engraving, and contributed to almost every fund formed for the purchase of works of art for the Athenxum Gallery. His rare engravings are now at Harvard College, with money bequeathed by him for their care; and reproduc- tions have long been the delight of many lovers of art who perhaps never heard of the "Gray Collection." The last year of his life he dwelt in conversation upon the fields of science, literature, and art in which young men of ability could best serve their country. "He never tired of repeating," says Agassiz, "that intellectual and moral culture was the object worthiest of the highest ambition." Increasing illness made it impossible for him to deliver the address he had begun to plan, but to Agassiz he spoke with emotion and great fervor of his ideals.2 A short time before Mr. Gray's death, Agassiz proposed to issue Contributions to the Natural History of the United States, but could not obtain funds. Mr. Gray entered into the business 1 3 Mass. Hist. Collections, VIII. 191. Also reprinted. 2 Proceedings Amer. Acad. of Arts and Sciences, Jan. I3, 1857. 7 details of the project with enthusiasm and by letters and ap- peals made the subscription list more successful than any one had dared to believe possible. Agassiz already dreamed of a museum of comparative zoölogy, and this also interested Mr. Gray. His bequest of $50,000 the next year made the museum a fact, although a provision of the will made it impossible to associate his name with it. Mr. Gray never married, but the social side of his nature led bachelor him into close relation with the chief men of the day. He dined frequently with Prescott the historian, President Sparks of Harvard, George Ticknor, and with other men whom he met at the literary evening clubs and in travel. There are delightful glimpses of outings spent at Daniel Webster's farm, or at Lebanon Springs. He loved to saunter from place to place abroad with congenial company. In the days when Washington Irving was secretary of our legation in London, Thomas Coffin Amory, an undergraduate searching for health, was persuaded to accompany Mr. Gray to the English lake counties. There, with letters of introduction, his wit, learning, and anecdote made them welcome visitors to Wordsworth, Southey, Mrs. Hemans, Scott, and a host of owners of ancient castles and forest estates. He was in Rome in 1837 with Joseph G. Cogswell, later famous as teacher, scholar, and librarian of the Astor Library in New York. They journeyed northward together through Italy and Switzerland. Mr. Gray passed his early life in Salem, and came with the family to Summer Street, Boston, in 1809. In 1834 he moved to Beacon Street, and in 1845 he came to live near the Wards, Ticknors, and Lawrences on Park Street, his windows over- looking the Common. Here he entertained his friends of the Wednesday Evening Club, "enlivening its meetings by his wit and wisdom, his rich and varied learning, and cherishing always a lively interest in its prosperity." "For twenty-six years he was," says the Rev. Dr. Lothrop, "one of the orna- ments of the Club." In a delightful photograph of the members of the Friday Evening Club, taken toward the end of his life, he stands at the left hand of Lemuel Shaw, the great jurist. The Club was organized earlier than the Friday Dinner Club, and the other members who appear in the photograph are: Nathan Hale, Page HINOWINVI 8 Thomas Motley, James K. Mills, George Hayward, Nathan Appleton, Charles Henry Warren, William Sturgis, Thomas TWW Wren Ward, and the Curtises, Benjamin Robbins, Thomas Buckminster, and Charles Pelham - a distinguished group of elderly men, old-fashioned to our eyes, but possessed of the fine bearing of scholarly gentlemen. Mr. Gray died in Boston, December 29, 1856. Robert C. Winthrop, speaking after Mr. Gray's death, said: "As a man of elegant accomplishments, of vast and varied acquisitions, of thorough, exact, and well-digested information, ready at all times to be communicated in private conversation or in public discourse, he has left no superior and few equals, in this or any other community." Prescott called him the most remarkable man he had ever known, for "the variety and fulness of his information, and a perfect command of it." There is a portrait of Francis C. Gray at Memorial Hall in Cambridge, painted by Francis Alexander. He is represented as a young man seated at a table, his right hand resting upon a book. He wears the collar and dark stock of the period, which would seem to be about 1828, a year after Alexander settled in Boston. There is also a marble bust of Mr. Gray by Hiram Powers, the sculptor, now owned by Morris Gray, Esq., of Chestnut Hill. In 1857 L. Schulze made a lithograph portrait. About the year 1847 Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling engraved a portrait from a photograph. (The bust of Shakespeare and several books, which together form a background, were added by the artist. Mr. Gray holds an engraving of Raphael's Madonna of the Chair in his hand, and is represented as younger than he appears in the photographic original. And it is pleasant to believe that he, like others, having the fresh- ness of literature and the beauty of art ever present, did not grow old, but simply in good time passed away.

BY FRANCIS C. GRAY PROVIDENCE: B. CRANSTON AND COMPANY. 1842 Among our numerous anniversaries, there are none more interesting, than those, in which we come up from the cares, and the turmoil, and the contentions of the world, like the Jews of old yearly to their temple, to the sacred seats of learning; to witness the proficiency and. do honour to the merit of the Youth, who, having completed their collegiate course, are about entering on the duties of society, and to welcome them as fellow labourers in. the field of life. The occasion carries us back to the period, when we stood, as they do, on the threshold of existence, gazing eagerly into a future, not with clouds and darkness resting on it, but glowing with the sunshine of hope, and peopled with the brightest visions of youthful expectation. It carries us forward to the day, when they will look back, like us, on realities--how different from their dreams! It is good for us to be here, and being here, to contemplate the past and the future. For us, who have come up hither from our daily pursuits, as it tend to revive in all their original ardour, the generous purposes and high resolves of our youth, SO that we may descend again into the arena of the world, refreshed and reinvigorated for its conflicts. It is good for them, to pause before they step down among us, and to recall the principles here inculcated, with the firm resolution, that in every hour of temptation or of peril, they will cling to them and hold them fast. It is good for us both, to look round on our actual position, and forward on the task before us, and to consider in what manner it may be best accomplished, what are the dangers and the obstacles in our way, and how we may avoid or surmount them. Such a survey will show that there are many circumstances in our present condition, leading to the belief, that the generation now rising into active life, in America, is destined to exert an uncommon influence on the fortunes, not only of our country, but of the whole human race; and it is my purpose at this time to point out some of those circumstances, and some of the dangers and the duties, that attend its career. http://www.law.ua.edu/directory/bio/abrophy/Brophy Gray1842.html 4/28/2005 Bachelors of Arts Harvard University 1809 Graduates Page 1 of 3 Surname Discover your family's story se Site First Name: Last Name: Search for Ancestors Net Zero ISP Surname Registry Bachelors of Arts Check our Surname Registry for your surnames.
