	Dining Table
		Originally a possession of Sir William Johnson (1715-1774), entrepreneur, politician and British superintendent of Indian Affairs for North America on New York's western frontier, this great oval-topped, gate-legged table is an acknowledged masterpiece of New York early-baroque or William and Mary-style table design.
		It was inherited by Sir William's son, Sir John Johnson (1742-1830), but was confiscated by the state of New York which labeled him a Tory after he fled to Canada in 1776.
		Traditional history holds that the table was purchased at one of several sales of his possessions by John Tayler (1742-1829), later Governor of New York, and then passed down for three generations in Tayler's family until it was donated to the Albany Historical and Art Society (antecedent of AIHA) in 1899.

	Handel's Gloria in Excelsis Deo
		The manuscript -- not in Handel's hand but bound in a collection of Handel arias owned by singer William Savage (1720-1789) and left to the Academy by his student RJS Stevens on his death in 1837 -- was identified by Professor Hans Joachim Marx of Hamburg, Germany.
		Hans Joachim Marx was trawling through manuscripts at the Royal Academy of Music in London when he stumbled on the original composition, which is expected to become as significant as the composer's Messiah.
		It may not be quite the same as standing silent upon that peak in Darien for a first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean, but sitting in the Royal Academy of Music with one's hands on a piece of music by Handel unseen and unheard for nearly 300 years runs it pretty close.
