Acknowledgments
When I wrote a graduate school paper in the spring of 1986 on antebellum young men's groups, I had an inkling of a potential dissertation topic. I never imagined this would be the result ten years later. In the intervening decade I have had the help, support, and cooperation of many friends, colleagues, and institutions.
For permission to quote from unpublished manuscripts in their collections, my thanks to the American Antiquarian Society and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
For permission to reprint paintings from their collections, thanks to: the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore; the New-York Historical Society; the Saint Louis Art Museum; Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York; the Manoogian Foundation.
I had the support of a Yale University Robert M. Leylan Fellowship during the year I wrote a majority of the dissertation. I thank the Frederick W. Hilles Publication Fund at Yale for a generous subvention to assist in the production of this book.
My thanks to these libraries and archives, and to their librarians: Sterling Memorial Library (particularly its reference and interlibrary loan staffs), Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University; the Boston Public Library; the American Antiquarian Society; the New York Public Library; the New-York Historical Society; Butler Library, Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University; the Historical Society of Pennsylvania; Lauinger Library, Georgetown University; the Library of Congress; South Caroliniana

Library, University of South Carolina. I want to recognize in particular James Green of the Library Company of Philadelphia, for his help and hospitality during a research trip to Philadelphia. My gratitude to individuals begins and ends at Yale University. David
Brion Davis has supported this work since I wrote that paper in his research seminar during my first year in graduate school. As dissertation director he offered incisive readings and urged me to give the project the scope it deserved. Jean-Christophe Agnew has been an adviser and friend since my undergraduate days; he and John Demos, the rest of the dissertation committee, patiently tested my ideas and challenged me to explore this topic fully. My appreciation to professors Bryan Jay Wolf, Harry S. Stout, Jon Butler, Nancy F. Cott, Ann Fabian, and Jonathan Rieder for their comments on earlier versions of this work and discussions I've had with them about it.
