JOSIAH QUINCY (1772-1864), whose opinion of the _Port Folio_ has been already quoted, contributed to it a series of articles, beginning January 28, 1804, in the style of Swift, and signed "Climenole".[16] [16] The name of the flappers, employed by the inhabitants of Laputa to arouse them from their scientific reveries. JOHN LEEDS BOZMAN (1757-1823) studied at the University of Pennsylvania, and read law in the Middle Temple, London. He contributed both prose and verse to the _Port Folio_. GENERAL THOMAS CADWALADER (1779-1841) furnished the magazine with translations of Horace. RICHARD RUSH (1780-1859) was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1800, and successfully defended William Duane, of the _Aurora_, on a charge of libelling Gov. Thomas McKean. He occasionally contributed official and personal anecdotes to the _Port Folio_. RICHARD PETERS (1744-1828), the witty judge of Belmont, extended princely hospitality at his country seat. His association with the most distinguished men of Europe and America stored his memory with the choicest bits of political and personal history. These odd old ends, stolen out of the secret chronicles of the time, and decked with his rare wit, were given upon irregular occasions to the _Port Folio_. GOUVERNEUR MORRIS (1752-1816) contributed political satires in both prose and verse to Dennie and his confreres. JOSEPH HOPKINSON (1770-1842), whose authorship of "Hail Columbia" has been already referred to, wrote the articles upon Shakespeare that appeared in the _Port Folio_ between 1801 and 1806. His house at Fourth and Chestnut Streets was a favorite meeting-place for Dennie and the wits. HORACE BINNEY (1780-1875), one of the most distinguished lawyers at a time when a Philadelphia lawyer was a synonym for skill and cleverness, wrote in moments, snatched from a busy and almost breathless profession, some of the clearest and most careful sketches of classical literature, as well as the shrewdest of political satires to be found in the early volumes of the _Port Folio_. HARRIET FENNO, daughter of John Ward Fenno, founder and editor of the _United States Gazette_, signed her verses "Violetta." MRS. ELIZABETH FERGUSON was the woman who carried to Washington the letter written by Dr. Duche urging concessions to the British as the only means of saving the country from spoliation and ruin. She was a daughter of Dr. Thomas Graeme, a Scottish physician, and granddaughter of Sir William Keith. Father and daughter lived for a time in the Slate-Roof House, then in the Carpenter mansion at Sixth and Chestnut, and finally at Graeme Hall in Montgomery County. Her life was written in the _Port Folio_ of 1809 (Page 524). Letters from her appear in various numbers of that magazine, always signed "Laura." Nathaniel Evans wooed Miss Graeme as "Laura" in true Petrarchan fashion. The Philadelphia Library possesses the MS. of a translation of Fenelon by Mrs. Ferguson.
