Charles Whittlesey. — A. Winchell. 267 
merous other archaeological papers were published through 
periodical and other channels." 
We have not space for entering into further details. Colonel 
Whittlesey's position as an archaeologist is attested by such 
reputable and competent judges as Robert Clarke, John D. 
Short, John D. Baldwin, Sir Daniel Wilson, Sir John Lubbock 
and the Marquis de Nadaillac. 
His interest in historical subjects was followed by success- 
ful efforts toward accumulating and preserving the inaterials 
of history. He zealously promoted the purchase of the 
St. Clair papers by the State of Ohio, published in 1882. He 
was very prominent in the project which ended in the publi- 
cation of the Margry papers in Paris — papers so highly appre- 
ciated by Parkman, and by the late president Garfield. As 
member and president of the Western Reserve Historical 
Society, he was instrumental in securing much material, and 
contributed twenty-two historical tracts to its publications, 
besides the archaeological ones already mentioned. His his- 
torical papers relate chiefly to the Northwest. They are gen- 
erally brief; but his History of Cleveland (1867) is a volume 
of 487 pages; and several other contributions extend to 30 or 
40 pages. In 1852 a selection of seventeen of his productions, 
mostly historical, was republished in a 12mo volume of 397 
pages, under the title of "Fugitive Essays." '^ 
In his relations to religion, Judge C. C. Baldwin records of 
him the following estimate : "He was a profoundly religious 
man, never ostentatiously so; but to him religion and science 
were twin and inseparable companions. They were in his 
life and thought, and he wished to, and did, live to express in 
print his sense that the God of science was the God of religion; 
and that the Maker had not lost power over the thing made." 
"He rounded and finished his character as he finished his life, 
by joint and hearty affection and service to the two joint in- 
struments of God's revelation, forsohe regarded them." * * * 
"He had no patience with materialism," testified his pastor,
