We have in this pamphlet a complete bibliography of the society, and Mr. Paine deserves much credit for the laborious work which he has done.

Much curious and useful information will be found in these pages. This essay was originally written as a magazine article, and was published in the Home and Foreign Review for February, 1863. In 1870 it was reprinted with additions; but the work having been long out of print and much sought for, this new edition, rewritten and much enlarged, has been prepared and published. The low price at which it is sold ought to ensure a large sale.

Mr. Waters is the author of " Genealogical Memoirs of the Chesters of Chichley," and other family histories, and the thoroughness which characterizes them is the more praiseworthy as the author has long been a hopeless invalid.

We continue our quarterly notices of recent genealogical publications.

66

The elegant quarto whose title heads the list "has been edited and is now privately printed by his surviving brothers Donald Grant and Alfred Mitchell," in memory of the late Louis Mitchell, Esq., who spent the last three years of his life upon its records." The Woodbridge family is one of the most distinguished in this country, but its genealogy has never before been fully published. A sketch by Miss Talcott of Hartford, Ct., giving the early generations, was printed in the REGISTER for July, 1878, and reprinted as a pamphlet. The present work is a worthy memorial of the family. Much conscientious labor has been given to it, and the reputation as an author of the principal editor is assurance that the editorial work is well done, while the fine paper, wide margins and rubricated pages speak themselves in praise of the printer. A portrait of Louis Mitchell and several tabular pedigrees illustrate the work. One table gives the ancestors of the late Mr. Mitchell and his brothers, showing that they are descended from Elder William Brewster, Rev. Nathaniel Ward, author of the Simple Cobler of Aggawam, Sir Richard Saltonstall, Lion Gardiner, Gov. William Leete, Gov. Thomas Dudley, and other early settlers of New England.

The Humphreys genealogy, of which the first part is before us, promises to be a thorough and valuable work. This part is devoted to the Transatlantic Families." It contains many pedigrees and much genealogical matter concerning the Old World families of Humphreys. It is embellished with a portrait of Ozias Humphreys, an eminent English artist of the last century, and with numerous engraved coats-ofarms. The succeeding parts will contain American families.

The Braose family is, in the next work, traced back to the Conquest. Mr. Elwes has been for many years collecting materials relating to this family, and has succeeded in gleaning from records and documents a mass of material relating to it. Only the early portion is given in this work, but the author gives encouragement that at a future time he may continue the work.

The Hayes genealogy is by the author of the article in the REGISTER for last October. The first part of the larger work on which he was then and for several years had been engaged, is now issued, and does credit to his research and critical skill as an author. The later parts of this work will be looked for with interest. From this family ex-President Hayes is descended.

The account of the Winthrop family in Ireland is by Robert C. Winthrop, Jr., of Boston, author of an account of the Winthrop family, privately printed in 1874. Previous to Mr. Winthrop's researches, very little was known about the branch of this family that settled in Ireland; but his investigations have resulted in his obtaining a remarkably full account of them. There are one or two doubts yet to be solved, but we are confident that Mr. Winthrop's persistency will solve them. An Appendix is devoted to the origin and history of the name in England.

Mr. Talcott has for nearly half a century been a collector of genealogical facts concerning his own and other families. In 1876 he published a work of much research on the Talcotts (REG. xxxi. 237), and now he has brought out a thick volume filled with more or less full genealogies of over fifty Dutch and English families, comprising some of the most prominent families in the country. The work is fully indexed. One may judge of the labor in this book from the fact that there are over ten thousand names in the index. It contains no doubt many facts, derived from persons since dead, which a genealogist of the present day could not procure.

The Griffing genealogy is a posthumous work. When the book was nearly ready for the press, Miss Stone was stricken with disease, and died after an illness of four days, March 25, 1880. The book has been completed and printed at the expense of Mrs. H. D. Cone, of Stockbridge, Mass. Jasper Griffing, the ancestor of this family, was a native of Wales, born about 1648, who came to New England and finally settled in Southold, Long Island. The book shows conscientious research, is handsomely printed and well indexed.

The Wadsworth book, besides a genealogical register, contains an account of the family reunion at Duxbury, Mass., September 13, 1882. The Wadsworth family in this country has furnished many men of note, among them the grandfather of the poet Longfellow. The book contains much valuable information for persons of the name. It is well arranged, handsomely printed and illustrated by numerous portraits. Mr. Wadsworth is the author of a "Quarter Centennial History of Law

rence."

The Rev. Mr. Hayden, the author of the next work, has published various historical and biographical works of merit. The present work first appeared in 1881, in the Notes and Queries," edited by Dr. William H. Egle, and printed in the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph (REG. xxxiv. 201). Mr. Hayden has revised and enlarged his work, and printed it in the handsome pamphlet before us, which shows careful research. It is well indexed.

Dr. Harris, whose memoir is before us, and his son, the writer of the memoir, have both contributed valuable articles to the REGISTER. Dr. Harris was for twenty years librarian of Harvard University, besides which he gained high rank as a naturalist, his best known work being one on Insects Injurious to Vegetation," written for the state of Massachusetts. The memoir is reprinted from the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. It contains two tabular pedigrees, one giving the paternal and the other the maternal ancestry of Dr. Harris.

Mr. Waters's pamphlet on the Townsend Family is principally devoted to the descendants of William Townsend, an early settler of Boston. Appended is a sketch of the family of Thomas Townsend of Lynn, giving some lines not contained in the work of Mr. Townshend of New Haven (REGISTER, XXxvii. 111. Other matters concerning the name are here given. Mr. Waters needs no praise from our

pen.

Mr. Phillimore, the author of the next pamphlet, has contributed to the present number of the REGISTER an article on the English Garfields, which will interest our readers as indicating the possible ancestry of the lamented President Garfield. The present work relates to English families, from one of which another president of the United States, the Hon. Millard Fillmore, was probably descended.

Mr. Clapp's work is a contribution both to genealogy and local history. It is an enlargement of a series of articles published by the author in the Dorchester Newsgatherer in the years 1880 and 1881. Much of the material has been patiently gleaned from public records and from other unpublished sources.

The Denison Memorial, which contains the proceedings at Ipswich last September to commemorate the bi-centenary of the death of Maj. Gen. Denison, is also a contribution to local history and genealogy. The biography of Daniel Denison has never before been written. His services to the colony of Massachusetts and the town of Ipswich were important, and Prof. Slade has given a full account of them. The illustrated account of the Coggeshall coats-of-arms, whose title we next give, was issued at the expense of Charles P. Coggeshall, 274 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill., for distribution to members of the family. It is a description and history by the Rev. S. W. Coggeshall, of Pocasset, Mass., of three coats-of-arms of English families bearing this name.

Miss Titcomb's book was noticed in our last number, but as there was a mistake in the price given, we improve the opportunity to commend the work again to our readers. Considering that there was but a small edition printed, the price, four dollars, is low. We understand that there are but few copies left.
