A Record of the Births, Marriages, and Deaths, in Worcester, Vt., from Oct. 21, 1813, to June 18, 1858. Alphabetically Arranged. By Simon C. Abbott. Montpelier, 1858, pp. 31. The author of this unpretending little pamphlet has rendered an excellent service to the cause of genealogy, and set an example worthy of being extensively followed. He has authenticated and put on record more than eight hundred dates connected with the domestic history of his native town from its very first beginning. If similar "labors of love" could be done in every town throughout the country, those who performed them would earn the lasting gratitude not only of the families whose records would thus be perpetuated, but of all persons engaged in genealogical, antiquarian and historical pur
A Catalogue of Books on Freemasonry and Kindred Subjects. By William Gowans. New York, 1858, pp. 59.
The author [than whom no one is more competent] has evidently spent much time and care upon this work, and he deserves the hearty thanks of the "fraternity" and book-collectors. "The first edition," he says, "appeared in 1848, and contained only thirteen pages. It has now reached the fourth edition, and numbers fifty-nine pages."
To collectors of masonic works, this catalogue is invaluable, and we have no doubt that they will appreciate the service he has rendered.
Willard Memoir; or, Life and Times of Mayor Simon Willard; with notices of three generations of his descendants, and two collateral branches in the United States; also some account of the name and family in Europe from an early day. By Joseph Willard. With three engravings. Boston: Phillips, Sampson & Co., 1858.
The increasing study of family genealogy and history has led to this elegantly printed volume, on the head of a very numerous family in this country. It seldom happens that one so prominent in an early settlement leaves so many descendants as Simon Willard; and we can scarcely credit the apathy to which the author alludes in his preface.
The work itself evinces good taste, sound research, and accuracy in detail. The account of 47
the name and family is a model, and the remarks on the Maryland Willards explode the fancy which is spreading so rapidly of making every one with a name at all French, and sometimes not French at all, to be descended from a victim of St. Bartholomew's or of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Catholic, Protestant, Infidel and Negro persecution have all driven French families to the United States; and except in certain localities known to have been settled by French Protestant refugees or the expatriated Alsatians, who came to America to avoid becoming French, a Dubois, or Doucet, or Blanc, is as likely to be descended from a colonist of St. Domingo, a French legitimist, or an Acadian exile as from a French Protestant.
In his researches on France, however, the author does not allude to the possibility of some French Willards being descended from English Catholic refugees. Some of these would retain the name, others modify it to suit French taste. Thus Helyot, the author of the "Histoire des Ordres Religieux," was a descendant of an English Catholic refugee of the name of Elliot, and doubtless many similar cases occurred; for as young English Catholics of good family were, in consequence of the penal laws, educated on the continent, many married and remained there, and Willard may appear as Huillar or Ouillar.
The memoir of Simon Willard himself which forms the body of the work is of great interest, and the defence of the gallant old deliverer from the charge of Dr. Fiske is conclusive; but may not the preacher have had some second sight and revenged himself on the ancestor of the man who was to step into his shoes by marrying his widow?
Historical and Literary Intelligence.
Mr. Charles Lanman, of Washington, D.C., has Congress, from the earliest times. It contains undertaken a Dictionary of the United States brief biographical sketches of the members, and will be valuable as a work of reference for the legislator and the statesman. The following are the headings of the principal departments: The successive Sessions of Congress; the Speakers of the House of Representatives; the Presidents of the Senate; Successive Administrations; Presidential Electors; the Supreme Court; Ministers to Foreign Countries; the Declaration of Independence; Members of the Continental Congress; the Constitution of the United States; the Organization of the Executive Departments; the several States and Territories, with their Governors. The publication is already in pro
gress, and the work is expected to be issued by the middle of January. It will contain between four and five thousand names. Mr. L. possesses many facilities for the work. It will be of interest to the philosophical inquirer into the composition of the highest national representative legislative bodies of the country. We trust that Congress will purchase an edition of this valuable work, to distribute among public libraries.
We learn that Frank Moore, Esq., has his Diary of the American Revolution nearly ready for the press. It is composed of selections from the Whig and loyal newspapers of the period, together with extracts from hitherto unpublished private diaries kept during the war, and at once affords the reader a narrative, in the original language and expression of both sides of the great questions which agitated the conflicting countries. It will be published in two volumes, entirely by subscription, at $2 50 per volume.
materials for a history of New England, to which no doubt he will be able to make valuable additions. His thorough knowledge of the present state of historical information concerning our country will enable him to use his present opportunities to the greatest advantage."
Mr. Drake will be absent one or more years. The New England Historical Register of which he has been editor almost from its commencement, will now be under the editorial charge of the Publishing Committee of the Society, whose organ it is. The committee for the coming year consists of John Ward Dean, William H. Whitmore, and William B. Trask.
Philadelphia is to have her statue of Washington. A committee has been appointed, and have engaged in the work with much zeal. The following are the principles that have been adopted by the committee: 1. That there be an equestrian statue of General Washington erected in Charles Campbell, Esq., proposes, should the Washington square. 2. That it be open to the undertaking receive sufficient encouragement, to free competition of all the artists residing in the publish a History of the Colony and Ancient United States, and to all the American artists Dominion of Virginia," the former work being abroad. Six months' time to be given for artists re-written, the notes for most part embodied in to compete and send in their works. the text, and the volume doubled in size by the the best sketch, design or model, will obtain the addition of new matter. The work will be pub-commission. The second best shall have $500 lished in handsome style, in one volume, octavo, premium, the next $300, and the fourth in merit of five or six hundred pages. The price will be $2.50.
Edward Everett has delivered his Washington lecture in New York for the third time, for the benefit of the Mount Vernon Association. Niblo's Theatre was crowded on the occasion. He has done still more for the memory of Washington, in making a contract to write for a year for the New York Ledger, a series of articles, to be entitled "The Mount Vernon Papers," the consideration for which, ten thousand dollars, has already been paid by the proprietor of the journal, Mr. Bonner, into the Mount Vernon Fund. Mr. Everett could hardly have given a sincerer proof of his attachment to the undertaking he has in hand. He will have an opportunity too of communicating with a number of readers probably larger than is attached to any popular journal of the kind in the world.
"We learn," says the Boston Journal of Nov. 4, 1858, "that Samuel G. Drake, Esq., President of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, and author of the History of Boston,' 'Book of the Indians,' and other works, started for England yesterday in the steamer Europa, for the purpose of pursuing his historical researches in the public offices and libraries there. Mr. Drake for many years has been collecting
Much credit is due to John Skirving, Esq., for his efforts in bringing the subject before the public.
Franklin Townsend, Esq., of Albany, has presented to the New York State Library two links of the great chain stretched from West Point to Constitution Island, across the Hudson River, during the Revolution. Only thirty-four tons were recovered by the West Point Foundry, and Gouverneur Kemble supposes that a quantity still remains in the mud of the river.
The citizens of Western Pennsylvania are making arrangements to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the capture of Fort Duquesne, which will occur on the 25th inst., Fort Duquesne stood upon the site of the present Pennsylvania Railroad depot at Pittsburg.
George C. Mather, Esq., of New York, is engaged in preparing a genealogical history of the Mather family, from its first settlement in this country. He desires the assistance of all who feel interested in the undertaking.
We are informed that Trübner's Bibliographical Guide to American Literature, will be published in a few weeks.
