Extractions: Source: Russell W. Taft, Royall Tyler, 20 Green Bag, frontispiece, 1-5 (1908) Royall Tyler was born in 1757 in the Faneuil Hall area in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College in 1776 and received a degree from Yale the same year. He studied law with John Adams and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1780. He took up the practice of law in Portland, Maine, and later in Quincy, Massachusetts. Tyler served in the militia in 1778 and in 1787 became an aide to General Benjamin Lincoln during Shays Rebellion. It was during this military campaign that Tyler became acquainted with Vermont where he would eventually settle. Tyler established a law practice in Guilford, Vermont, in 1791 and served as states attorney for Windham County, Vermont, 1794-1801; justice on the Vermont Supreme Court, 1801-1807; and Chief Justice of the state's highest court from 1807 to 1813. He taught law at the University of Vermont from 1811 to 1814. Tyler's literary fame lies in his work as an early American playwright, and author of the first performed American comedy

Extractions: Introduction The Royall Tyler collection consists of the papers of Royall Tyler (1757-1826); his wife, Mary Palmer Tyler (1775-1866); and their descendants, as well as research on the family collected by Tylers great-granddaughter, Helen Tyler Brown. An early resident of Guilford, Vermont, and later a resident of Brattleboro, Vermont, Royall Tyler was a chief justice of the Vermont Supreme Court and an author. The collection is housed in nine document storage boxes (9 linear feet) and includes eight oversized volumes. It came to the Vermont Historical Society in 1936 as a bequest from Helen Tyler Brown. The collection was reprocessed in 1994 by Eileen OBrien under a grant from the National Historic Publications and Records Commission. Any books or articles resulting from the use of this collection should give credit to the "Royall Tyler Collection, Gift of Helen Tyler Brown." Permission to publish must be acquired from the Vermont Historical Society. Scope and Content The papers created or collected by Royall Tyler include correspondence on business and personal matters, 1787-1825; papers relating to Tylers involvement in Shays Rebellion, 1787; legal forms and accounts, 1792-1821; court dockets of Windham County, Vermont, 1815-1818; and manuscripts of Tylers literary works.

I tell them especially about the belief, held by the elite culture, that morality could be reified, that is, could find actual material manifestation in language and action. This conception that high culture, if demonstrated fully and well, would produce in the masses a liking for high culture and a desire to emulate high culture fascinates them because it seems to them unbelievably naive.

Search for Identity In 1787, Tyler was recalled into military service, this time to help quell Shays's Rebellion, an insurrection of back-country farmers in Massachusetts who were resisting the government's economic policies, prosecution of debtors, and high taxes. After suppressing the rebellion Tyler was sent to New York City on official business. There he attended the theater for the first time and developed what would become a consuming passion for plays. Inspired by the New York production of English playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The School for Scandal , Tyler decided to write his own play, and, just over a month later, The Contrast was staged at the John Street Theater. Tyler's effort met with a warm response; the play received generally favorable reviews and was soon performed in other American cities.

Extractions: Remembered primarily as the author of The Contrast , the first comedy written by an American to be produced by a professional company, Tyler's remaining plays make us lament that he had other more respectable means of making a living. Born in Boston July 18, 1757, Tyler's father was a prominent merchant He attended Harvard College graduating in 1776. Later that year he received a BA from Yale. Already part of a group of young men interested in the arts, Tyler studied law and in 1778 the new Major Tyler served as aide to General Sullivan so that he was in a position to observe the attack on Newport that turned into such a fiasco when D'Estaing sailed into a storm to engage General Howe. After two more years, Tyler was admitted to the bar and practiced law in Maine and Massachusetts. While in Braintree, Massachusetts (now Quincy), he became engaged to John Adams' daughter Abby. But his betrothed went to Europe with her mother and because of the "gaiety" of her affianced nature, she broke it off, sending Tyler into a depression that caused him to cease his practice of law until he found consolation with Mary Palmer who was to become his wife.
