 At this moment we heard a noise in the room near us.

"It must be he," said Rouletabille.

"I forgot to ask you," I said, "if we are to make any allusion to to-night's business when we are with this policeman. I take it we are not.  Is that so?"

"Evidently. We are going to operate alone, on our own personal account."

"So that all the glory will be ours?"

Rouletabille laughed.

We dined with Frédéric Larsan in his room. He told us he had just come in and invited us to be seated at table. We ate our dinner in the best of humours, and I had no difficulty in appreciating the feelings of certainty which both Rouletabille and Larsan felt. Rouletabille told the great Fred that I had come on a chance visit, and that he had asked me to stay and help him in the heavy batch of writing he had to get through for the "Epoque." I was going back to Paris, he said, by the eleven o'clock train, taking his "copy," which took a story form, recounting the principal episodes in the mysteries of the Glandier. Larsan smiled at the explanation like a man who was not fooled and politely refrains from making the slightest remark on matters which did not concern him.

With infinite precautions as to the words they used, and even as to the tones of their voices, Larsan and Rouletabille discussed, for a long time, Mr. Arthur Rance's appearance at the château, and his past in America, about which they expressed a desire to know more, at any rate, so far

 as his relations with the Stangersons. At one time, Larsan, who appeared to me to be unwell, said, with an effort:

"I think, Monsieur Rouletabille, that we've not much more to do at the Glandier, and that we sha'n't sleep here many more nights."

"I think so, too, Monsieur Fred."

"Then you think the conclusion of the matter has been reached?"

"I think, indeed, that we have nothing more to find out," replied Rouletabille.

"Have you found your criminal?" asked Larsan.

"Have you?"

"Yes."

"So have I," said Rouletabille.

"Can it be the same man?"

"I don't know if you have swerved from your original idea," said the young reporter. Then he added, with emphasis: "Monsieur Darzac is an honest man!"

"Are you sure of that?" asked Larsan. "Well, I am sure he is not. So it's a fight then?"

"Yes, it is a fight. But I shall beat you, Monsieur  Frédéric Larsan."

"Youth never doubts anything," said the great Fred laughingly, and held out his hand to me by way of conclusion.

Rouletabille's answer came like an echo:—

"Not anything!"

Suddenly Larsan, who had risen to wish us goodnight, pressed both his hands to his chest and staggered. He was obliged to lean on Rouletabille for support, and to save himself from falling.

 "Oh! Oh!" he cried. "What is the matter with me?—Have I been poisoned?"

He looked at us with haggard eyes. We questioned him vainly; he did not answer us. He had sunk into an armchair and we could get not a word from him. We were extremely distressed, both on his account and on our own, for we had partaken of all the dishes he had eaten. He seemed to be out of pain; but his heavy head had fallen on his shoulder and his eyelids were tightly closed. Rouletabille bent over him, listening for the beatings of the heart.

My friend's face, however, when he stood up, was as calm as it had been a moment before agitated.

"He is asleep," he said.

He led me to his chamber, after closing Larsan's room.

"The drug?" I asked. "Does Mademoiselle Stangerson wish to put everybody to sleep, to-night?"

"Perhaps," replied Rouletabille; but I could see he was thinking of something else.

"But what about us?" I exclaimed. "How do we know that we have not been drugged?"

"Do you feel indisposed?" Rouletabille asked me coolly.

"Not in the least."

"Do you feel any inclination to go to sleep?"

"None whatever."

"Well, then, my friend, smoke this excellent cigar."

And he handed me a choice Havana, one

 Darzac had given him, while he lit his briarwood—his eternal briarwood.

We remained in his room until about ten o'clock without a word passing between us. Buried in an armchair Rouletabille sat and smoked steadily, his brow in thought and a far-away look in his eyes. On the stroke of ten he took off his boots and signalled to me to do the same. As we stood in our socks he said, in so low a tone that I guessed, rather than heard, the word:

"Revolver."

I drew my revolver from my jacket pocket.

"Cock it!" he said.

I did as he directed.

Then moving towards the door of his room, he opened it with infinite precaution; it made no sound. We were in the "off-turning" gallery. Rouletabille made another sign to me which I understood to mean that I was to take up my post in the dark closet.

When I was some distance from him, he rejoined me and embraced me; and then I saw him, with the same precaution, return to his room. Astonished by his embrace, and somewhat disquieted by it, I arrived at the right gallery without difficulty, crossing the landing-place, and reaching the dark closet.

Before entering it I examined the curtain-cord of the window and found that I had only to release it from its fastening with my fingers for the curtain to fall by its own weight and hide the square of light from Rouletabille—the signal agreed upon. The sound of a footstep made me halt

 Arthur Rance's door. He was not yet in bed, then! How was it that, being in the château, he had not dined with Monsieur Stangerson and his daughter? I had not seen him at table with them, at the moment when we looked in.

I retired into the dark closet. I found myself perfectly situated. I could see along the whole length of the gallery. Nothing, absolutely nothing could pass there without my seeing it. But what was going to pass there? Rouletabille's embrace came back to my mind. I argued that people don't part from each, other in that way unless on an important or dangerous occasion. Was I then in danger?

My hand closed on the butt of my revolver and I waited. I am not a hero; but neither am I a coward.

I waited about an hour, and during all that time I saw nothing unusual. The rain, which had begun to come down strongly towards nine o'clock, had now ceased.

My friend had told me that, probably, nothing would occur before midnight or one o'clock in the morning. It was not more than half-past eleven, however, when I heard the door of Arthur Rance's room open very slowly. The door remained open for a minute, which seemed to me a long time. As it opened into the gallery, that is to say, outwards, I could not see what was passing in the room behind the door.

At that moment I noticed a strange sound, three times repeated, coming from the park. Ordinarily I should not have attached any more importance

 to it than I would to the noise of cats on the roof. But the third time, the mew was so sharp and penetrating that I remembered what I had heard about the cry of the Bête du bon Dieu. As the cry had accompanied all the events at the Glandier, I could not refrain from shuddering at the thought.

Directly afterwards I saw a man appear on the outside of the door, and close it after him. At first I could not recognise him, for his back was towards me and he was bending over a rather bulky package. When he had closed the door and picked up the package, he turned towards the dark closet, and then I saw who he was. He was the forest-keeper, the Green Man. He was wearing the same costume that he had worn when I first saw him on the road in front of the Donjon Inn. There was no doubt about his being the keeper. As the cry of the Bête du Bon Dieu came for the third time, he put down the package and went to the second window, counting from the dark closet. I dared not risk making any movement, fearing I might betray my presence.

Arriving at the window, he peered out on to the park. The night was now light, the moon showing at intervals. The Green Man raised his arms twice, making signs which I did not understand; then, leaving the window, he again took up his package and moved along the gallery towards the landing-place.

Rouletabille had instructed me to undo the curtain-cord when I saw anything. Was Rouletabille expecting this? It was not my business to question. All I had to do was obey instructions. I

 the window-cord; my heart beating the while as if it would burst. The man reached the landing-place, but, to my utter surprise—I had expected to see him continue to pass along the gallery—I saw him descend the stairs leading to the vestibule.

What was I to do? I looked stupidly at the heavy curtain which had shut the light from the window. The signal had been given, and I did not see Rouletabille appear at the corner of the off-turning gallery. Nobody appeared. I was exceedingly perplexed. Half an hour passed, an age to me. What was I to do now, even if I saw something? The signal once given I could not give it a second time. To venture into the gallery might upset all Rouletabille's plans. After all, I had nothing to reproach myself for, and if something had happened that my friend had not expected he could only blame himself. Unable to be of any further assistance to him by means of a signal, I left the dark closet and, still in my socks, made my way to the "off-turning" gallery.

There was no one there. I went to the door of Rouletabille's room and listened. I could hear nothing. I knocked gently. There was no answer. I turned the door-handle and the door opened. I entered. Rouletabille lay extended at full length on the floor.

Rh of every number between $$\scriptstyle{a}$$ and $$\scriptstyle{b}$$ in the order of their magnitudes. This may be illustrated geometrically as follows:

The origin being at $$\scriptstyle{O}$$, lay off on the straight line the points $$\scriptstyle{A}$$ and $$\scriptstyle{B}$$ corresponding to the numbers $$\scriptstyle{a}$$ and $$\scriptstyle{b}$$. Also let the point $$\scriptstyle{P}$$ correspond to a particular value of the variable $$\scriptstyle{x}$$. Evidently the interval $$\scriptstyle{[a,b]}$$ is represented by the segment $$\scriptstyle{AB}$$. Now as $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ varies continuously from $$\scriptstyle{a}$$ to $$\scriptstyle{b}$$ inclusive, i.e. through the interval $$\scriptstyle{[a,b]}$$, the point $$\scriptstyle{P}$$ generates the segment $$\scriptstyle{AB}$$.

When two variables are so related that the value of the first variable depends on the value of the second variable, then the first variable is said to be a function of the second variable.

Nearly all scientific problems deal with quantities and relations of this sort, and in the experiences of everyday life we are continually meeting conditions illustrating the dependence of one quantity on another. For instance, the weight a man is able to lift depends on his strength, other things being equal. Similarly, the distance a boy can run may be considered as depending on the time. Or, we may say that the area of a square is a function of the length of a side, and the volume of a sphere is a function of its diameter.

The second variable, to which values may be assigned at pleasure within limits depending on the particular problem, is called the independent variable, or argument; and the first variable, whose value is determined as soon as the value of the independent variable is fixed, is called the dependent variable, or function.

Frequently, when we are considering two related variables, it is in our power to fix upon whichever we please as the independent variable; but having once made the choice, no change of independent variable is allowed without certain precautions and transformations.

One quantity (the dependent variable) may be a function of two or more other quantities (the independent variables, or arguments). For example, the cost of cloth is a function of both the quality and quantity; the area of a triangle is a function of the base and altitude; the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is a function of its three dimensions.

BENT in great anxiety over the body of the reporter and had the joy to find that he was deeply sleeping, the same unhealthy sleep that I had seen fall upon Frédéric Larsan. He had succumbed to the influence of the same drug that had been mixed with our food. How was it then, that I, also, had not been overcome by it? I reflected that the drug must have been put into our wine; because that would explain my condition. I never drink when eating. Naturally inclined to obesity, I am restricted to a dry diet. I shook Rouletabille, but could not succeed in waking him. This, no doubt, was the work of Mademoiselle Stangerson.

She had certainly thought it necessary to guard herself against this young man as well as her father. I recalled that the steward, in serving us, had recommended an excellent Chablis which, no doubt, had come from the professor's table.

More than a quarter of an hour passed. I resolved, under the pressing circumstances, to resort to extreme measures. I threw a pitcher of cold water over Rouletabille's head. He opened his eyes. I beat his face, and raised him up. I felt him stiffen in my arms and heard him murmur: "Go on, go on; but don't make any noise." I

 pinched him and shook him until he was able to stand up. We were saved!

"They sent me to sleep," he said. "Ah! I passed an awful quarter of an hour before giving way.  But it is over now.  Don't leave me."

He had no sooner uttered those words than we were thrilled by a frightful cry that rang through the château,—a veritable death cry.

"Malheur!" roared Rouletabille; "we shall be too late!"

He tried to rush to the door, but he was too dazed, and fell against the wall. I was already in the gallery, revolver in hand, rushing like a madman towards Mademoiselle Stangerson's room. The moment I arrived at the intersection of the "off-turning" gallery and the "right" gallery, I saw a figure leaving her apartment, which, in a few strides had reached the landing-place.

I was not master of myself. I fired. The report from the revolver made a deafening noise; but the man continued his flight down the stairs. I ran behind him, shouting: "Stop!—stop! or I will kill you!" As I rushed after him down the stairs, I came face to face with Arthur Rance coming from the left wing of the château, yelling: "What is it? What is it?" We arrived almost at the same time at the foot of the staircase. The window of the vestibule was open. We distinctly saw the form of a man running away. Instinctively we fired our revolvers in his direction. He was not more than ten paces in front of us; he staggered and we thought he was going to fall. We had sprung out of the window, but the man


text:
Page:Mystery of the Yellow Room (Grosset Dunlap 1908).djvu/246

 dashed off with renewed vigour. I was in my socks, and the American was barefooted. There being no hope of overtaking him, we fired our last cartridges at him. But he still kept on running, going along the right side of the court towards the end of the right wing of the château, which had no other outlet than the door of the little chamber occupied by the forest-keeper.

The man, though he was evidently wounded by our bullets, was now twenty yards ahead of us. Suddenly, behind us, and above our heads, a window in the gallery opened and we heard the voice of Rouletabille crying out desperately:—

"Fire, Bernier!—Fire!"

At that moment the clear moonlight night was further lit by a broad flash. By its light we saw Daddy Bernier with his gun on the threshold of the donjon door.

He had taken good aim. The shadow fell. But as it had reached the end of the right wing of the château, it fell on the other side of the angle of the building; that is to say, we saw it about to fall, but not the actual sinking to the ground. Bernier, Arthur Rance and myself reached the other side twenty seconds later. The shadow was lying dead at our feet.

Aroused from his lethargy by the cries and reports, Larsan opened the window of his chamber and called out to us. Rouletabille, quite awake now, joined us at the same moment, and I cried out to him:

"He is dead!—is dead!"

"So much the better," he said. "Take him


text:
Page:Mystery of the Yellow Room (Grosset Dunlap 1908).djvu/247

 into the vestibule of the château." Then as if on second thought, he said: "No!—no! Let us put him in his own room."

Rouletabille knocked at the door. Nobody answered. Naturally, this did not surprise me.

"He is evidently not there, otherwise he would have come out," said the reporter. "Let us carry him to the vestibule then."

Since reaching the dead shadow, a thick cloud had covered the moon and darkened the night, so that we were unable to make out the features. Daddy Jacques, who had now joined us, helped us to carry the body into the vestibule, where we laid it down on the lower step of the stairs. On the way, I had felt my hands wet from the warm blood flowing from the wounds.

Daddy Jacques flew to the kitchen and returned with a lantern. He held it close to the face of the dead shadow, and we recognised the keeper, the man called by the landlord of the Donjon Inn the Green Man, whom, an hour earlier, I had seen come out of Arthur Rance's chamber carrying a parcel. But what I had seen I could only tell Rouletabille later, when we were alone.

Rouletabille and Frédéric Larsan experienced a cruel disappointment at the result of the night's adventure. They could only look in consternation and stupefaction at the body of the Green Man.

Daddy Jacques showed a stupidly sorrowful face and with silly lamentations kept repeating that we were mistaken—the keeper could not be the assailant. We were obliged to compel him to


text:
Page:Mystery of the Yellow Room (Grosset Dunlap 1908).djvu/248

 be quiet. He could not have shown greater grief had the body been that of his own son. I noticed, while all the rest of us were more or less undressed and barefooted, that he was fully clothed.

Rouletabille had not left the body. Kneeling on the flagstones by the light of Daddy Jacques's lantern he removed the clothes from the body and laid bare its breast. Then snatching the lantern from Daddy Jacques, he held it over the corpse and saw a gaping wound. Rising suddenly he exclaimed in a voice filled with savage irony:—

"The man you believe to have been shot was killed by the stab of a knife in his heart!"

I thought Rouletabille had gone mad; but, bending over the body, I quickly satisfied myself that Rouletabille was right. Not a sign of a bullet anywhere—the wound, evidently made by a sharp blade, had penetrated the heart.

8 The symbol $$\scriptstyle{f(x)}$$ is used to denote a function of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$, and is read $$\scriptstyle{f}$$ of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$. In order to distinguish between different functions, the prefixed letter is changed, as $$\scriptstyle{F(x),~\phi(x),~f'(x)}$$, etc.

During any investigation the same functional symbol always indicates the same law of dependence of the function upon the variable. In the simpler cases this law takes the form of a series of analytical operations upon that variable. Hence, in such a case, the same functional symbol will indicate the same operations or series of operations, even though applied to different quantities. Thus, if

Similarly, $$\scriptstyle{\phi(x,y)}$$ denotes a function of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ and $$\scriptstyle{y}$$ and is read $$\scriptstyle{\phi}$$ of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ and $$\scriptstyle{y}$$.

HAD hardly recovered from the surprise into which this new discovery had plunged me, when Rouletabille touched me on the shoulder and asked me to follow him into his room.

"What are we going to do there?"

"To think the matter over."

I confess I was in no condition for doing much thinking, nor could I understand how Rouletabille could so control himself as to be able calmly to sit down for reflection when he must have known that Mademoiselle Stangerson was at that moment almost on the point of death. But his self-control was more than I could explain. Closing the door of his room, he motioned me to a chair and, seating himself before me, took out his pipe. We sat there for some time in silence and then I fell asleep.

When I awoke it was daylight. It was eight o'clock by my watch. Rouletabille was no longer in the room. I rose to go out when the door opened and my friend re-entered. He had evidently lost no time.

"How about Mademoiselle Stangerson?" I asked him.

"Her condition, though very alarming, is not desperate."

 "When did you leave this room?"

"Towards dawn."

"I guess you have been hard at work?"

"Rather!"

"Have you found out anything?"

"Two sets of footprints!"

"Do they explain anything?"

"Yes."

"Have they anything to do with the mystery of the keeper's body?"

"Yes; the mystery is no longer a mystery. This morning, walking round the château, I found two distinct sets of footprints, made at the same time, last night.  They were made by two persons walking side by side.  I followed them from the court towards the oak grove. Larsan joined me.  They were the same kind of footprints as were made at the time of the assault in The Yellow Room—one set was from clumsy boots and the other was made by neat ones, except that the big toe of one of the sets was of a different size from the one measured in The Yellow Room incident.  I compared the marks with the paper patterns I had previously made.

"Still following the tracks of the prints, Larsan and I passed out of the oak grove and reached the border of the lake. There they turned off to a little path leading to the high road to Epinay where we lost the traces in the newly macadamised highway.

"We went back to the château and parted at the courtyard. We met again, however, in Daddy Jacques's room to which our separate trains of thinking had led us both.  We found the old

 in bed. His clothes on the chair were wet through and his boots very muddy. He certainly did not get into that state in helping us to carry the body of the keeper. It was not raining then. Then his face showed extreme fatigue and he looked at us out of terror-stricken eyes.

"On our first questioning him he told us that he had gone to bed immediately after the doctor had arrived. On pressing him, however, for it was evident to us he was not speaking the truth, he confessed that he had been away from the château.  He explained his absence by saying that he had a headache and went out into the fresh air, but had gone no further than the oak grove.  When we then described to him the whole route he had followed, he sat up in bed trembling.

"'And you were not alone!' cried Larsan.

"'Did you see it then?' gasped Daddy Jacques.

"'What?' I asked.

"'The phantom—the black phantom!'

"Then he told us that for several nights he had seen what he kept calling the black phantom. It came into the park at the stroke of midnight and glided stealthily through the trees; it appeared to him to pass through the trunks of the trees.  Twice he had seen it from his window, by the light of the moon and had risen and followed the strange apparition.  The night before last he had almost overtaken it; but it had vanished at the corner of the donjon.  Last night, however, he had not left the château, his mind being disturbed by a presentiment that some new crime would be attempted.  Suddenly he saw the black


text:
Page:Mystery of the Yellow Room (Grosset Dunlap 1908).djvu/252

 phantom rush out from somewhere in the middle of the court. He followed it to the lake and to the high road to Epinay, where the phantom suddenly disappeared.

"'Did you see his face?' demanded Larsan.

"'No!—I saw nothing but black veils.'

"'Did you go out after what passed on the gallery?'

"'I could not!—I was terrified.'

"'Daddy Jacques,' I said, in a threatening voice, 'you did not follow it; you and the phantom walked to Epinay together—arm in arm!'

"'No!' he cried, turning his eyes away, 'I did not. It came on to pour, and—I turned back.  I don't know what became of the black phantom."

"We left him, and when we were outside I turned to Larsan, looking him full in the face, and put my question suddenly to take him off his guard:

"'An accomplice?'

"'How can I tell?' he replied, shrugging his shoulders. 'You can't be sure of anything in a case like this.  Twenty-four hours ago I would have sworn that there was no accomplice!'  He left me saying he was off to Epinay."

"Well, what do you make of it?" I asked Rouletabille, after he had ended his recital. "Personally I am utterly in the dark. I can't make anything out of it.  What do you gather?"

"Everything! Everything!" he exclaimed. "But," he said abruptly, "let's find out more about Mademoiselle Stangerson."

Rh In each case $$\scriptstyle{y}$$ (the value of the function) is known, or, as we say, defined, for all values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$. This is not by any means true of all functions, as the following examples illustrating the more common exceptions will show.

(1) $$\scriptstyle{y=\frac{a}{x-b}}$$.

Here the value of $$\scriptstyle{y}$$ (i.e. the function) is defined for all values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ except $$\scriptstyle{x=b}$$. When $$\scriptstyle{x=b}$$ the divisor becomes zero and the value of $$\scriptstyle{y}$$ cannot be computed from (1). Any value might be assigned to the function for this value of the argument.

(2) $$\scriptstyle{y=\sqrt{x}}$$.

In this case the function is defined only for positive values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$. Negative values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ give imaginary values for $$\scriptstyle{y}$$, and these must be excluded here, where we are confining ourselves to real numbers only.

(3) $$\scriptstyle{y=\log_a x.\qquad\qquad\qquad a>0}$$

Here $$\scriptstyle{y}$$ is defined only for positive values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$. For negative values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ this function does not exist (see § 19).

(4) $$\scriptstyle{y=\operatorname{arc~sin}x, y=\operatorname{arc~cos}x}$$.

Since sines and cosines cannot become greater than $$\scriptstyle{+1}$$ nor less than $$\scriptstyle{-1}$$, it follows that the above functions are defined for all values of $$\scriptstyle{x}$$ ranging from $$\scriptstyle{-1}$$ to $$\scriptstyle{+1}$$ inclusive, but for no other values.

2. If $$\scriptstyle{f(x)=x^3-3x+2}$$, find $$\scriptstyle{f(0),\ f(1),\ f(-1),\ f(-\frac{1}{2}),\ f(1\frac{1}{3})}$$.

3. If $$\scriptstyle{f(x)=x^3-10x^2+31x-30}$$, and $$\scriptstyle{\phi(x)=x^4-55x^2-210x-216}$$, show that

4. If $$\scriptstyle{F(x)=2^x}$$, find $$\scriptstyle{F(0),\ F(-3),\ F(\frac{1}{2}),\ F(-1)}$$.

 La barba al cielo e la memoria sento In sullo scrignio e 'l pecto fo d'arpia, E 'l pennel sopra 'l viso tuctavia Mel fa gocciando un richo pavimento. E lombi entrati mi son nella peccia, E fo del cul per chontrapeso groppa, E passi senza gli ochi muovo invano. Dinanzi mi s'allunga la chorteccia E per piegarsi adietro si ragroppa, E tendormi com' archo Soriano. Pero fallace e strano Surgie il iuditio, che la mente porta, Che mal si tra' per cerboctana torta. La mia pictura morta Difendi orma', Giovanni, e 'l mio onore, Non sendo in loco bon ne io pictore. ("Poems," ix.)

Grate e felice, c' a tuo feroci mali Istare e vincer mi fu gia conciesso; Or lasso, il pecto vo bagniando spesso Chontra mie voglie e so, quante tu vali. E se i dannosi e preteriti strali Al segno del mie cor non fur ma' presso, Or puoi a cholpi vendichar te stesso Di que begli ochi, e fien tucti mortali. Da quanti lacci ancor, da quante rete Vagho uccellecto per malignia sorte Champa molti anni per morire po' peggio, Tal di mi, Donne, amor, chome vedete, Per darmi in questa eta piu crudel morte Champato m' a gran tempo, chome veggio.

Page:Dio's Roman History, tr. Cary - Volume 1.djvu/22

 For our knowledge of the lost portions of Dio's work we have two kinds of sources: (1) Excerpts contained in various Byzantine collections, together with brief quotations made by lexicographers and grammarians; and (2) Epitomes by Zonaras and Xiphilinus, supplemented by occasional citations in other historical writers. The quotations of the first class may be supposed to give, as a rule, the very words of Dio, subject of course to necessary changes in phraseology at the beginning, and sometimes at the end, and to occasional omission elsewhere of portions unessential to the excerptor's purpose. These constitute the Fragments of our author in the strict sense of the term. The Epitomes, on the other hand, while they often repeat entire sentences of Dio verbatim, or nearly so (as may readily be seen by comparing extant portions of the histories with Zonaras or Xiphilinus), must, nevertheless, be regarded as essentially paraphrases. A brief description of these various sources follows:

(1) The Excerpts De Virtutibus et Vitiis (V) are found in a Ms. of the tenth century, the Codex Peirescianus, now in the library of Tours. It was first published in 1634 by Henri de Valois, whence the fragments are sometimes called Excerpta Valesiana, as well as Peiresciana. The collection consists (at present) of quotations from fourteen historians, extending from Herodotus to Malalas. From Dio

S. H. C. D., June 10, 1908. “The Owl,” official magazine of the “Wing family of America, Incorporated,” says that from researches made in London and this country, the name of Hoxie is a very old one, variously spelled Hocksley, Hawksie, Hawkseye, etc. Authentic record of the name in London, 1329. Name also in “Domesday Book,” compiled about 1080, A. D.

* 8380. 4. Baldwin. “Mack,” March 16, 1908. The correspondent says that in a “Return of marriages performed at Monson in the County of Hampshire from the year 1782 to 1785 by Jesse Ives, Clerk,” he finds the marriage “December 11, 1783, Joshua Blodget of Randolph to Increase Childs of Monson.” That is a record long sought for in town records of Monson and neighboring towns, but without success. Upon seeing “Mack's” statement, I thought to have it verified from the Monson Church records, as I knew that Re~gational Church at Monson at the time specified. I accordingly wrote to the present pastor of the church for a transcript of the record, but in answer he says “he can find no record of it” and “we have in our church books no evidence” of it. Under these circumstances may I ask “Mack” where the return may be found and consulted? I do not want to question the correctness of his statement, for it is in harmony with the Randolph, Vt., record, and it is more complete. I want to be able, however, to refer to authorities quoted. It may be that other marriages by Mr. Ives are hidden in this list, which are not recorded elsewhere. It it has not been done already, the whole list should be published. Where can a searcher find the document?
 * J. D. F.

* 9152. 1. Hamilton. “Mack,” May 25, 1908. Daniel (1) Hamilton died in Chatham, Mass., Dec. 8, 1738, in his sixty-ninth year. Grace, daughter of Daniel (1) and Mary, was born Aug. 3 and died Aug. 20, 1694. Thomas, son of Daniel (1) and Mary Hamilton, was born in Orleans, Mass., Sept. 1, 1695, and died in Chatham, Mass., May 1, 1772, in his seventy-seventh year. Children of Thomas and Rebecca born in Chatham were: Rebecca, born Nov. 20, 1720; Nathaniel, born Aug. 23, 1722; Grace, born July 24, 1724, died April 29, 1753, Lydia, born April 24, 1726, Jane, born April 19, 1728; Zeruiah, born April 27, 1731; Deliah born June 28, 1734; Thomas, born Sept. 14, 1739. Hannah, daughter of Thomas and Rebecca, died in Chatham, Oct. 19, 1736, in her eighteenth year. The Hamilton data sent me by the town clerk of Chatham proves that Thomas, son of Daniel (1), died in Chatham in 1772.

In regard to James Hamilton of Blandford, I will quote from a letter received from Rev. S. L. Wood, who is collecting material for a history of Blandford, Mass. Mr. Wood writes: “Armour, Hugh, John, James and Robert Hamilton or Hambleton, as it is often spelled, were all here, and each obtained settlement lots on the settlement of this town. The deeds all bear date of 1737, though the town was settled two years earlier. The clear title was not given in any case to home lots until 1737. If you care for it, I can furnish you with an original photograph of the topographical map of the town and can indicate the exact location of each of them, with the possible exception of Robert.” Janet, daughter of Mrs. Mary Hamilton, later of Northampton, was married in Pelham in 1753. This led me to think that perhaps she was the daughter of James Hamilton of Blandford and that her father removed to Pelham and died there. Miss Salome Hamilton wrote me that she had a copy of the inscription on the tombstone of Rebecca, widow of James (1) Hamilton, who died in Pelham in 1759 and was laid beside her husband in Worcester.
 * J. M. P. Y.

* 9628. 9. La Groves, Black, Winter. “Mona,” May 20, 1908. The case is settled, and by ample proof. I am much indebted to “Mona” for valuable assistance, as undoubtedly many others are who are interested in this family.

Have seen the name (Sallows) spelled so many ways that I ask “Mona's” opinion as to the correct form then and what form is now used by descendants. Do you take “Solart” to be the same name?
 * A. H. D.

* 9838. 3. Gates, Hildreth. G. A. G. L., May 20, 1908. The correspondent says Asa Farnsworth, son of Jonathan, Jr., and Rachel (Cutting) Farnsworth. I have the mother's name Rachel Nutting (not Cutting) and have never been able to find her ancestry. Can G. A. G. L. give the parentage of Rachel (Cutting) Farnsworth?
 * A. H. D.

* 9885.]] 5. Eveleth, Starkweather. “Mack,” May 25, 1908. “Mack” says that William Whittredge married, second, 1663, Widow Susanna Colby. I think she was the widow of Anthony Colby, and would be glad if “Mack” or any other interested ~ of the Transcript would give me Susanna Colby's family name, and date of her death.
 * J. J. B.

* 9915. 7. Allison, Brown, Oliver. A. E. R. B., May 27, 1908. I wish to thank the correspondent for this answer.
 * G. B. S. T.

* 9960. 1. Haraden. L. H. B., May 25, 1908. I find the following in Babson's “History of Gloucester”: “Jonathan Haraden, without doubt a descendant of Edward (1), was born in Gloucester in 1744; removed early in life to Salem and went to sea. In the Revolutionary War he was lieutenant of the Tyrannicide, and afterwards commander of a privateer. He was engaged with the enemy in seven actions and evinced great bravery on all occasions. He died in November, 1803.” And in “Babson's Notes and Additions”: “Of the exploits of Captain Jonathan Haraden an account may be found in Hunt's ‘Merchant's Magazine’ for 1859.” My interest in the Haraden family ceases with the second generation, but if it would be of any use to you I can give the names of the children of Edward (1) with dates and some of his grandchildren.
 * W. F. P. G.

* 9966. 2. White, Colwell. D. B. E., May 25, 1908. Daniel Abbott, son of emigrant Daniel, married, Dec. 25, 1678, Margaret, widow of Thomas Walling. “Oct. 1, 1665, he received a deed of a five-acre house lot in Providence from Robert Williams of Newport, formerly of Providence, who declares that Daniel Abbott was formerly his servant and that the house lot was one which did ~ the original belong to Daniel Abbott, senior, father to above said Daniel, it being by him sold to Mr. Williams.” For further details about this Abbott family, see Arnold's “Rhode Island Families,” and especially Major Abbott's “Genealogy of George Abbott ~ Rowley, and data on other Abbott families.

* 9980. 7. Low. ~ S. D., June 1, 1908. John (5) Low had son John (6) born in Ipswich May 20, 1714 ~ “He removed to Lyman, Me., and died there.”

My notes, taken mainly from Beverly Records, differ from the above quotation, and in order to be corrected, if wrong, I offer the following:

John Low, born at Hamilton, Mass., in 1746. Removed to Bever~ before the Revolutionary War and engaged in the cabinet-making business. He married, first, Martha, daughter of Nathaniel and Martha (Bal~) Raymond, May 14, 1767. She was born Feb. 13, 1745.

He was a sergeant in Captain Larkin Thorndike's Company, which marched for Lexington, April 19, 1775, and reached Arlington ~ time to be engaged with the Brit~ my~ He commanded the Be~y company which left Beverly for Cambridge, May 25, 1775, and was present at the battle of Bunker Hill; the~ to New York. After his service in the ~ay expired, he returned to Beverly, and, ~ a time, kept a p~ h~ near the Ferry. Subsequently, he removed to Lyman, Me., where he died in 1827. His first wife, “Martha, married John Low, Esq. (of) Lyman, died Sept. 26, 1805, a ~ (S~d Church Records.) Her age agrees with the ~ of her birth, 1745 as above.

“John Low, Esq., of Lyman, and Sally Herr~ck were married Feb. 25, 1806 ~ These few items are open to correction, relating to the John Low, who died at Lyman, Me. Martha (Raymond) Low had a sister Hannah who married John Porter, and removed to Lyman, Me.

* 9987. 5. Houghton, Divoll. “Syracuse,” June 1, 1908. Eleazer Houghton of Lancaster was a son of Robert (John 1) and Esther ~ His wife, Elizabeth, was a daughter of William and Ruth (Whitcomb) Divoll, and a granddaughter of Ensign John and Hannah (White) Divoll. (See White's “Genealogy of the Descendants of John White~
 * J. C. L. ~.

* 9988. 7. Crowell, Lewis, Paine. W. L. G., June 1, 1908. Isaac (4) Crowell (Isaac 3, Thomas 2, Yelverton 1), born Yarmouth, Dec. 15, 1715, married, Jan. 19, 1743-4, Hannah Paln~ of Truro, who died March 10, 1790. Children: David, Aug. 22, 1745; married, Oct. 18, 1778, Margaret Whelden; Isaac, March 4, 1746-7 married, Nov. 27, 1784, Susannah Blish of Barnstable, Hannah, Nov. 28, 1748, died young; Phebe, January, 1751-2, married, July 6, 1775, David Lewes of Barnstable, and died March 5, 1827; Hannah, Nov. 5, 1753; Dorcas, Nov. 12, 1755; married, March 27, 1777, Mathias Gorham; Susannah, Dec. 29, 1757.

The above record was given some years since by a descendant of Yelverton Crowell, since deceased, but I think the marriage of Phebe is an error, and that the wife of David Lewes was the daughter of Edward (5) Crowell, by his wife Betsey Baker, as stated in Crowell Genealogy. Benjamin Lewes, his elder brother, married, Dec. 3, 1767, Sarah Crowell; and Elnathan Lewes a younger brother, married, April 26, 1773, Thankful Crowell—three brothers married three sisters. Barnstable Probate Records will perhaps settle the parentage of Phebe Crowell.

According to Otis's “Barnstable Families” David Lewes had by wife, Phebe ~ Susa, July 24, 1776; Phebe, July 5, 1778; David, May 22, 1781; Elizabeth, April 19, 1783; Temperance, June 2, 1789; Sally, Oct. 13, 1795; Richard, Aug. 15, 1798. He married, second, Temperance Lewes, daughter of Lemuel Lewes, had five other children, and removed to Kennebec.

Jesse Lewes (same authority), born March 11, 1705, married, first, March 8, 1731-32, Naomi Lewes, and, second, Feb. 25, 1735-36, Mercy Crosby of Harwich, and had: Mary, Dec. 23, 1736; Anner, March 13, 1738; Naomi, Jan. 12, 1740; Thomas, baptized July 31, 1743; David, baptized July 20, 1746, and Sarah, baptized June 18, 1749.

Whether Phebe was the daughter of Isaac or Edward Crowell, she was not the youngest daughter, as stated by tradition, as in either case she would have had three younger sisters.
 * S. P. M.

* 9990. 1. Daboll. G. D. S., June 3, 1908. Samuel Dibble went from Easthampton, Long Island, to Groton, Conn., in 1718, and had sons Nathan and John. The name gradually changed to Daboll. Nathan was the father of Nathan, born 1750, and John was the father of John born 1751.
 * E. R. D.

* 9991. 1. Ingersoll, Foster. L. D. A. P., June 3, 1908. John, of John and Sarah, baptized Aug. 9, 1730; Sarah, of John and Sarah, baptized Aug. 12, 1732; Thomas of John and Sarah, baptized Dec. 22, 1734. No further record of them in Beverly.

Richard Ingersoll of Salem and Ruth Dodge married at Salem. April 28, 1698. They had: Ruth, born Dec. 24, 1698; Sarah, baptized Aug. 30, 1702, probably married Daniel Cressy of Boston, Oct. 26, 1720; about 1740 removed to Connecticut. He was baptized July 17, 1698, son of John and Sarah (Gaines of Ipswich) Cressy. Richard, son of widow Ruth, baptized Oct. 5, 1712. Also a son John, same date.

Children of William and Serena (Sargent) Ingersoll: Mary E., born Feb. 21, 1836; Serena, born Oct. 19, 1840, probably died young; Daniel S. and Serena A., baptized June 19, 1842; also a son John. Hon. Nathaniel Hooper of Marblehead married Sally Ingersoll, Nov. 20, 1821.

Deaths—Catharine S., daughter of Captain William and Serena, April 14, 1844, aged one year; Mary E., Oct. 18, 1838, aged one year nine months; also a child, Oct. 20, 1838, aged three years; Nancy, daughter of Captain Samuel and Eleanor, Aug. 29, 1826, aged forty-three years; Samuel B. (Rev.) of Captain Samuel and Eleanor, born Oct. 13, 1785, ordained at Shrewsbury, June 14, 1820, died Nov. 15, 1820. Captain Samuel died of inflammation of the bladder. Oct. 9, 1807, aged sixty-one years; Eleanor, widow of Captain Samuel, died of fever, Nov. 10, 1819, aged sixty-five years.

The foregoing may not be helpful to L. D. A. P., but it may be that some other persons will find something of interest in it: hence the offer.

* 9993. 6. Stearns. T. E. P., June 3, 1908. The “Stearns Genealogy” says: “Isaac Stearns or Sternes, born in England, married, 1622, Mary Barker, daughter of John and Margaret Barker of Stoke, Nayland, Suffolk, England. This is proved correct by an entry in Thomas Lechford's notebook.”
 * G. B. S. T.

Isaac Stearns married, 1622, in England, Mary Barker, daughter of John and Margaret Barker of Stoke, Nayland County, Suffolk, England. Wife Mary died April 2, 1677. I regret that I failed to record my authority for this statement, but as evidence of its correctness I refer to vol. xi., New England Historical and Genealogical Register, which states “Isaac Stearns of Watertown, late of Stoke, Nayland County, Suffolk, and wife Mary daughter of John Barker of the same, appoint Thomas Gilson of Sudbury, County Suffolk, to collect five pounds of one Munnings, of Gaynes Colne County Essex, due on a bond given by Munnings before his marriage to Margaret Barker, mother of said Mary.”

Published every Monday and Wednesday

Correspondents will notice that a new series of genealogical questions begins with this issue. On June 10 we published question No. *10,000, and now begin to renumber so as to make it easier for our correspondents to follow the numbers.

Queries
(*1.) 1. Cobb. Deliverance Hodges, born 1746, at Norton, Mass., died 1801; married, 1764, in Norton, General Silas Cobb, son of Benjamin and Mary (Mason) Cobb. Silas Cobb was born 1743, died 1833. Children: Mirriam, born 1761; ~s~n; Silas, born 1768, married, 1801, Eunice Smith, Lyman, born 1771; Sarah, born 1773; Edmund, born 1779; Deliverance, born 1782; Mary, born 1785. Did General Silas Cobb have a niece Lucinda Cobb, who was born in 1768, and married Benjamin Pierce? She named three daughters Sarah, Mary and Eunice, and two of her sons were named Benjamin and Benjamin Mason, respectively, all these similar to the names in General Cobb's family.

2. Parker, Underwood. Did Susannah Parker, fifth child of Nathaniel and Bethia Parker, born 1687, marry Joseph Underwood, who was born in 1681, died Jan. 19, 1761? Would like the genealogy of Joseph Underwood.

 * J. L. D. N.

(*2.) Fiske. Can anyone give me the descendants of Horace Fiske, formerly a resident of Bowdoin street, Boston? Is there a genealogy of the Fiske family?

 * A. B. B. B.

(*3.) Bryant. Can anyone give me the descendants of Stephen Bryant, who came from England to Plymouth, Mass., in 1632, his wife's name, and if Daniel Bryant of Halifax, Mass., who married Jennet Mitchell in 1789, is in direct line?

 * J. B. K.

(*4.) Putnam. Can anyone give me any information in regard to David Putnam, son of General Israel Putnam? I wish to trace his line of descent, as it seems to be the one from which my father, Henry Putnam, is descended. This David, whose number in the Putnam records is V. 249, was born Oct. 14, 1761, probably in Connecticut. I know nothing further about him. The line next appears with David Putnam, born in 1792, died 1860. Both lived in Connecticut in early years, then moved to western New York.

Page:Dio's Roman History, tr. Cary - Volume 1.djvu/23

 alone there are 415 excerpts, and the Ms. originally contained still more.

The Excerpts De Senteniiis (M) are contained in a Vatican palimpsest (Vaticanus Graecus 73) of the tenth or eleventh century. The Ms. is in very bad condition; numerous leaves were discarded and the others disarranged when the Ms. was used for the second writing. Angelo Mai, who first published the collection in 1826, employed chemical reagents to bring out the letters and even then had to despair of many passages. Since his use of the Ms. the letters have naturally faded still more, and parts of some leaves have been covered in the work of repair. The excerpts attributed to Dio are drawn from nearly all periods of Roman history, and fall into two groups, the first extending down to 216 B.C., the other from 40 B.C. to the reign of Constantine; between the two portions several leaves, and probably entire quaternions, have been lost from the Ms. That the former set of fragments is taken from Dio none will deny. The later collection, however, extends much beyond the reign of Alexander Severus, where Dio ended his history; furthermore, the style and diction are considerably different from Dio's own. It is now generally agreed that all the excerpts of this second set were the work of one man, whom Boissevain, following Niebuhr, would identify with Petrus Patricius, a historian of the sixth century. Nevertheless, though not direct

Queries
(*11.) 1. Sanborn. Can anyone give me any information regarding the Sanborn family who lived in Andover, N. H., about 1721? I think the line runs like the following, but am not sure, and I do not know anything about the wives. John Sanborn, born 1620; Nathaniel, born June, 1666; Richard, born February, 1693; David, born June, 1721; Ephraim, born April 15, 1756, and married Sarah Corliss, born Dec. 27, 1756, eldest daughter of Jeremiah Corliss, the first town clerk of the town of Weare, N. H. Any information regarding the family before 1756 I will be glad to receive. I have all information since that date.

2. Paine. Can anyone give me any information regarding the ancestry of Richard Paine, who lived at Center Harbor, N. H.? I cannot give the date of his birth or death, but his son Richard was born March 2, 1757, and died April 21, 1847. He served in the Revolutionary War at Pierce's Island and in the Continental service against Canada.

 * N. S. R.

(*12.) 1. Kingsley, Warner, Wright. Wanted, the ancestry of Rachel Kingsley, wife of Downing (6), Warner (Mark 5, Mark 4, Mark 3, John 2, William 1). Also, the ancestry of Experience Wright, wife of Mark (5) Warner.

2. Warner, King. Thankful Warner died at Winfield, N. Y., in 1817. She married William King of Wilbraham, Mass., son of William King and Jemima Bliss. Who were her parents?

3. Leach, Adams. Mary Leach was born Jan. 1, 1744, and died May 1, 1819. She married Gideon Adams of Canterbury, Conn., Jan. 5, 1764. What was her ancestry?

4. Norton, Moore. James (4) Moore (James 3, William 2, Andrew 1) of Simsbury, Conn., married Mary Norton, born Feb. 22, 1736. She died at Rupert, Vt., Sept. 13, 1826. What was her ancestry?

5. Who was the wife of Abel (5) Buel of Killingworth, Conn.? (Abel 4, Ensign William 3, Samuel 2, William 1). If anyone can help me in this it will be greatly appreciated.

 * F. W. B. P.

(*13.) Richmond. The “Richmond Book” gives one line that I am interested in, as follows: Hannah (6) Richmond, (Samuel 5, 4, 3, John 2, 1). I cannot vouch for the correctness except as to Hannah (6) (Samuel (5). It also says Samuel (4) married Sarah Richmond. Where did he find Sarah? I cannot find any Sarah Richmond, whose marriage to him would not have been a bigamous proceeding. I think the mother of Samuel (5) must have been Sarah Thrasher, for Samuel (5) had some of the land that Israel Thrasher gave to his daughter, “Sarah Richmond,” and now belongs to the grandson of Hannah (6), never having been bought or sold since the original division of that part of Taunton.

If Sarah Thrasher married John (4) Richmond (Joseph 3, John 2, 1), as the genealogy says she did, how did it become possible for the land given her by her father to descend to the children of Samuel (4) and “Sarah Richmond”? Will someone who has access to the records of Middleboro or Taunton unravel this mystery?

 * E. H. H. C.

(*14.) 1. Brooks. What was the family name of Elizabeth, who married Samuel Brooks of Lincoln, originally Concord? He was born March 16, 1729–30.

2. Brooks. What was the family name of Lydia, wife of John Brooks, of Lincoln, (originally Concord)? He was born Jan. 12, 1701–2.

 * S. A. B.

(*15.) Soule. George Soule, signer of Mayflower Compact. In the genealogical department of the Transcript, Sept. 11, 1901, under the caption, “Drinkwater,” was this statement:

“John Soule of St. Botolph and wife Ruth Fox of this parish, married in St. Dionis Bucks Church, London, December, 1581, were the parents of George Soule.”

Is there any authority for this statement? Has George Soule's birth record been found, or is it simply inferred from the above marriage record that this John might be the father of George?

In Palfrey's “History of New England,” I., 160, note, it is said that “The name of Soule was common about Bawtry.” Search among parish registers, directories and maps has failed to discover any families of the name now in that neighborhood.

 * C. C. S.

(*16.) Ward. Information is desired concerning a Samuel Ward, born probably in Boston or vicinity, who was killed in the “French War,” leaving five children: four sons and one daughter: Thomas, Benjamin, Samuel, John (perhaps not in order named). John was born September, 1758 (probably in Boston), and was about six years of age at time of father's death. John married Abigail Phelps, daughter of Noah Phelps and Hannah Abbey of Enfield, Conn. Samuel and John were in the Revolutionary War and captured by the British. Samuel, brother of John, was drowned while confined on British prison ship. John succeeded in escaping and rejoined his regiment. Thomas or Benjamin or both were sea captains. Please reply through Transcript.

 * C. E. M. B.

(*17.) 1. Severy. Can anyone give me date of death of Reuben Severy or Seavery of Uxbridge? Also maiden name of Reuben's wife Lucy?

2. Harwood, Stearns. Can anyone give me dates of birth and death of David Harwood, who married, in Sutton, in 1739, Elizabeth Stearns, daughter of Ebenezer and Martha Burnap Stearns of Sutton? Also death of said Elizabeth?

 * W. C. P.

(*18.) Burbank, Dimock. Ancestry wanted of Theoda Burbank of Suffield, Hartford County, Conn., born 1745, died 1805, who married Captain Abel Dimock. An old family record in the writer's possession says that the father of Theoda Burbank was married to a Miss Austin of English descent, and gives the children as: Ebenezer, Daniel Elias Samuel, a daughter married to Mr. Dunlap, and Theoda, married to Captain Abel Dimock. This would seem to indicate she was the daughter of John (4) Burbank (John 3, John 2, John 1), who married, Jan. 3, 1732-3, Rachel Austin of Suffield, Conn., but I find no record of this Theoda or of her brothers Elias or Samuel Hinman in “Early Puritan Settlers in Connecticut,” gives a daughter Theoda, born 1733, died 1741, and the latest birth of any children of this marriage as 1744.

 * M. D. W. G.

(*19.) 1. Robinson, Wells. An error crept into query *9739, Feb. 3, 1908. It was Nathaniel (6) Horton (Nathaniel 5, Caleb 4, Barnabas 3, Caleb 2, Barnabas 1), who married Rebecca Robinson, whose ancestry is desired. Nathaniel (5) married, in Southold L. I., about 1740, Mehitabel Wells. They moved to Chester, Morris County, N. Y., 1748. She died Dec. 10, 1891. Have been unable to connect her.

2. Rose. J. P. ~ D. ~ Notes on the Riggs Family, Dec. 6, 1907, mentions Harriet Rose, daughter of David and Mary (Rogers) Rose of Southampton, L. I. Can he help me with the ancestry of Mary Rose born Feb. 29, 1778; died Mar. ~8, 1855, married Hiram (7) Horton (Nathaniel 6) 1808, and resided at Chester, N. J.; have been told her father's name was Nathan. She had no brothers; two sisters, one of whom, Phoebe, married Rev. Stephen Overton, and ~d at Fireplace, L. I.

3. Wooding, Wooden, Worden. Stephen (4) Goodspeed (Nathaniel 3, Nathaniel 2, Roger 1), born Sept. 17, 1706; married at Rochester, March 1, 1730-31, Bethiah Wooding. They sold land “which descended to us from our Honoured Father, Mr. Peter Wooden,” etc. Would like ancestry of Peter Wooden, and the name and ancestry of his wife. May not the name have been originally Worden?

4. Clapp. Ancestry desired of Elizabeth Clapp, who married Deacon Thomas King, Jr. of Sc~ate.

5. Bursley. Ancestry of Colonel J~ Bursley of Barnstable, who married, Nov. 28, 1639, Joanna, daughter of Rev. Joseph Hull.

William Baker died in 1895. Will be grateful for information relative to William and Penelope (Roberts) Baker, or their ancestors.

7. Dow, Cob. Joseph Dow married Olive Cob; they had a daughter, Melita, who married Elam Tredril Case. Joseph Dow was a direct descendant, probably grandson, of Lorenzo Dow, who was the first Methodist evangelist in America; and who wrote a book entitled “The Dealings of God, Man and the Devil.” Any facts in regard to Joseph Dow or Olive Cob, or of any of their ancestors.

 * M. R. L.

3. Bray. Has Sarah Bray, wife of James Sawyer above, ever been identified as a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Wilson) Bray? If so, what is the date and place of her birth?

4. Carew. Mary Carew, who married Nehemiah Fales of Dedham Jan. 31, 1720-1, is said to have been a daughter of Thomas and Elinor (Thompson) Carew of Boston. I would be glad to have this verified and to be supplied with all available data of birth, marriage and death of these people and their ancestors.

5. Hopkins. Sarah Hopkins, daughter of Charles and Margaret (Henchman) Hopkins, married John Goldthwaite in Boston, March 13, 1701, and died Oct. 31, 1715, in Boston. I would like data of her parents and date of her birth. Her mother was a sister of Major Thomas Henchman, an officer in the Indian Wars.

6. Lewis. I have thus far been unable to find, among the many Lewises of Colonial Massachusetts, any record which determines the ancestors of Philip Lewis, who was married to Martha (Burrill) Hender, April 15, 1703, in Boston, by Rev. Cotton Mather. Would like birth and death dates and places of himself and wife, names of children and ancestors and birth, marriage and death data of the latter so far as available.

7. Miller. Jane Miller, born Jan. 15, 1766, possibly at Biddeford, Me. Married Joseph (6) Goldthwaite (Philip 5, Joseph 4, John 3, Samuel 2, Thomas 1) about 1794 and died Feb. 27, 1855, at Biddeford, Me., I believe. Can anyone give me data concerning her ancestors?

(*33.) Was Sahier de Quincey one of the twenty-five celebrated Magna Charta barons? Can anyone give the list?

Answers
* 9118. 4. Tracy, Mason. A. R. H., Nov. 11, 1907. The ancestry of Lucy Deming, the wife of James Gidding, and an account of her brother, Captain John Deming, will be found in the Transcript under Answer to * 5900. 1. Deming, J. H. J. and H. B. D., Jan. 19, 1903.

* 9247. 1. Barker, Sherman. J. F. S. S., May 15, 1907. The correspondent gives the ancestry of Deborah Sherman, born Aug. 14, 1762, who married William Barker, Jr. She was Deborah (8) (Abraham 7, Philip 6, John 5, Philip 4, Samuel 3, Henry 2, Henry 1). I have added the last three names from vol. xxiv. of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. This takes them into the Dedham line. Cannot someone give the parents of William Barker, Jr., or of Mary Howland, the mother of Deborah (Sherman) Barker?
 * L. W. M.

* 9310. 10. Adams, Blackmore. C. H. A., July 1, 1907. Referring to the question whether Thomas (3) Adams of Charlestown (Captain Samuel 2, Henry 1) married a daughter or the widow of Henry Blackmore, there seems to be a discrepancy of statement in Wyman. Under “Adams,” he says Thomas Adams married Mary Blackmore April 28, 1680, and, in his will, devised all to wife, who was daughter of J. Trumbull, and wife of, first, H. Blackmore; second, Adams; third, Dr. J. Smith; 4, Thomas Walker.” This would make her the widow of Blackmore. But under “Blackmore” Mr. Wyman says that Henry married Mary Trumbull, daughter of John Trumbull, Sr., who died May 26, 1671, aged twenty-four, and that her daughter, Mary Blackmore, born Feb. 23, 1666-67, married Thomas Adams, and, later, John Smith and Thomas Walker. Middlesex Court files have something relative to this. When Thomas Adams died he owed one Henry Mountford, or Mountfort, of Boston, and on his petition a writ was issued March 13, 1689-99, against the estate of Captain Samuel Adams, who had been administrator of his son Thomas, to recover. In the suit, “Mrs. Mary Smith” deposed as to what she knew about the debt, mentioning her “father-in-law, Captain Samuel Adams of Chelmsford,” and giving her own age as “twenty-three.” This age fits the daughter of Henry Blackmore. (Note that the papers of this suit, dated 1690, are erroneously filed in the court records, being in a box marked “From Oct., 1687, to March, 1689.”)

In the files for 1691, and properly placed, is a set of papers marked “Thomas Adams's Widow.” The suit relates to certain money, and, among other depositions, is that of Aphra Bennett, aged forty-five or thereabouts. She deposed that, about seventeen years before she asked “Mr. John Trumbull, Sr.,” to lend her one hundred pounds. He answered her: “It is not my money, but is my grandchild Mary Blackmore, her money, so I must have eight per cent,” etc. According to the witness the sum was loaned and duly paid. Mention of John Trumbull, Jr. Also, deposition of Ruth Baker, aged about fifty, refers to the money and says that Mr. John Trumbull, Sr., said the money was Mary Blackmore's, and that he wanted to wait and “see how her husband proved.”

Next, deed 7-446, agreement between John Trumbull, Sr., and Thomas Adams, both of Charlestown, upon the marriage of the latter and Mary Blackmore. Trumbull agrees to make her portion three hundred pounds, clear of all demands for bringing her up from the time of her father's death till the marriage of said Mary and Thomas Adams. Henry Blackmore's house and land are included in this gift. The deed is not dated, but, subjoined, is the receipt of Thomas Adams, July 23, 1680, of “what is due me Thomas Adams and Mary Adams my wife.”

N. Y., May 25, 1908, Seth and Chloe (Marsh) Darling did not have a daughter Mary, and their children were all born in Woodstock and Harland, Vt. I find no Phineas Ramsdell in my Mendon records. Might she not have been a daughter of Job and Margery (Cook) Darling, born Mendon, Mass., Dec. 23, 1769?

* 9532. 9. Morgan, Dymond. N. H. S., Dec. 30, 1907. Miss Caulkins's History of New London, page 311, gives the following data: “John Morgan married, Nov. 16, 1665, Rachel Dymond, by whom he had seven children.” The “Morgan Genealogy” says she was daughter of John Dymond, name of mother not given. Page 283, Miss Caulkins's “History of New London”: John Dymond married, June 17, 1674, Rebecca (Bemas) Winter, widow of Tobias Winter. Had: John, born 1675; Sarah, born 1676; and Jonathan, born 1678. Page 350: “Benjamin Shapley born March 20, 1675, married Ruth, daughter of Thomas Dymond.” Page 278: “Elizabeth Bradley married, Sept. 22, 1670, Thomas Dymond” he died 1687. Page 279 states him “a mariner from Fairfield and probably brother to John Dymond. Children: Elizabeth, born 1672; Thomas, 1675; Moses, 1677; Ruth, 1680. The names and family passed away from New London after 1710. From the foregoing it is seen that John Dymond, Thomas Dymond, Ruth (Dymond) Shapley and Rachel (Dymond) Morgan might be of the same family, all children of John Dymond. Will C. F. Y. kindly give the names of the children of John Deming and Honor Treat, and let us know if the descendants of the Dymonds of New London appear in the “Deming Genealogy”?

* 9628. 9. La Grove, Black, Winter. A. H. D., June 10, 1908. The name the correspondent inquires about is commonly spelled Sallows, but there are many variants. I consider Solar to be a different name. If I am in error, perhaps “Beverly” will kindly correct me.

* 9853. 2. Oliver, Carr. E. A. T., June 8, 1908. The correspondent has correctly quoted Mr. Hoyt in his “Salisbury,” so I need not repeat in detail. Briefly, Hoyt says that James Oliver called George Carr his brother-in-law. As to the manner in which he writes of James Oliver, need we doubt that he believed there was but one James? I assume that he pointed out what he thought was the right connection, but as a measure of precaution, refraining from asserting it. Referring to the will of Thomas Oliver, father of James, he adds, according to my notes, that what is apparently the name of one daughter in that will is illegible.

Thomas Oliver's will was written by a scribe whose clear, scholarly penmanship is as easily read as modern writing, except that, at the critical point, he attempted either a correction of the name or the improvement of two letters therein. The result was ink blots and chaos. The official recorder of that day could not read the name of the daughter, and copied the will with her name blank. It has remained blank ever since. The clause in question is this, “I do give my daughter woollfall and my daughter—40 pounds to be equally divided between them.” The unknown daughter was not Elizabeth Carr. Mr. Pope, in his “Pioneers,” reads it “Havens.” Perhaps he is right. Absolute certainty rests with the last three letters—the name is “—ens.” Of the other three letters, the first is obscure and the second and third are ink-smears. The first may be “b” or “h” or neither. The second is a round blot. To get an idea of the third, set a finger-ring on edge and place a marble above it. This will give an open circle under a closed one, the latter being solid ink. I find it hard to believe that this letter is “v” as is necessary if we call the name Havens. All through the will the scribe, following the fashion of the day, made “v” like “u” and with great precision. How, then, do we get the very plain circle which is like “o”? (To be absolutely precise it may be said to be a trifle oval, but nearly round.) The scribe, again following the fashion of his day, made for “s” a circle, and carried upward from it a straight line ending in a curl. The ink-smear over the circle shuts off speculation, and I do not favor any suggestion, nor do I privately hold any theory. I can only say that this daughter was not Elizabeth Carr. This, however, does not prove that Thomas Oliver had no such daughter; he may have had several not mentioned in his will.

Mr. Hoyt says, additionally, that Captain James Oliver died in 1682, without wife or children. This is not to be taken that he never married. Mr. Bodge, in his “Soldiers of King Philip's War,” says at page 171, that James married, between 1641 and 1655, Mary, widow of John Frend and daughter of Thomas Dexter, who died before him, etc. This is certainly correct in part. Administration was granted at Boston on Thomas Dexter's estate Feb. 9, 1676, to “Captain James Oliver, his son-in-law, and Thomas Dexter, his grandson.” Papers relating to the estate are miserably few and brief. Dexter lived in several different towns, and I have never seen a good account of him. Superficial search in Suffolk County tells nothing of value.

There are three ways in which James Oliver could be brother-in-law of George Carr. They may have married sisters, or Carr may have married Oliver's sister, or Oliver may have married Carr's sister. We see, however, that unless Captain James was more than once wedded he did not marry a Carr, and the possibility that he did has no great weight at present. Thomas Dexter may have had a daughter who married Carr, but if anybody has knowledge as to Dexter's family I have failed to see it in print. I have not hunted seriously, however. My search for his children in original sources has been limited to his estate and to Suffolk deeds. To sum up, my opinion is that George Carr married a daughter of Elder Thomas Oliver, but I would like to know more about Thomas Dexter's family than is given in Savage and like works. Who can supply Dexter items?

* 9982. 3. Merrick. F. M. C. H., June 1, 1908. William Merrick reached Charlestown in the James in 1636. Married in Eastham, Mass., in 1642, Rebecca, whose surname is not known. She died in 1668. They had ten children.

Mary Merrick, daughter of above, born Nov. 4, 1650, married Stephen Hopkins, son of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower.

Ensign William Merrick, son of William and Rebecca, above, born Sept. 14, 1643, at Eastham, Mass., married first, May 23, 1667, Abigail Hopkins, daughter of Giles and Catherine (Wheldon) Hopkins. She was born October, 1644. (Giles was son of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower.) William Merrick married, second, Elizabeth —. He had nine children, all by his first wife. He lived in Eastham and, later, in Harwich, where the records carry the name as “Myrick.”

Joshua Merrick, son of William and Abigail (Hopkins) Merrick, born about 1680; married in 1716, Lydia Mayo, daughter of Thomas and Barbara (Knowles) Mayo (Patience Brewster, daughter of Elder Brewster of the Mayflower married Governor Prence; their daughter Hannah, married Nathaniel Mayo, son of Rev. John Mayo; Thomas, their son married Barbara Knowles, and their daughter, Lydia Mayo, married Joshua Merrick as above.) Joshua Merrick died in 1740.

Abigail Merrick, daughter of Joshua and Lydia (Mayo) Merrick, above, was born July 10, 1724. (No further information given.)

The information given above is from “Genealogy of the Merrick-Mirick-Myrick Family of Massachusetts.” While there is nothing in this record to identify the Abigail Merrick given above with the Abigail inquired for by F. M. C. H., she is at least a likely candidate, and I, therefore, submit her credentials in the hope that they may be of use to your correspondent. My authority gives no other Abigail Merrick who would meet the requirements.

It has been said that in controversy everything depends upon whether truth be put in the first or in the second place. And so in constitutional law much depends upon whether "liberty" be given precedence.

Since the twelfth century it had been the custom of our ancestors to remedy public evils, as they appear, by the panacea of liberty and ever more liberty, and thus we have become the greatest and happiest nations of the world. Believing that material as well as spiritual welfare must be wrought out by individual effort and worth, we have naturally striven to restrict State action and power to the assurance to all of an equality of liberty to so work them out.

But of late other theories have grown in popularity,—all manner of restrictions, prompted by visionary theories and growing class feeling, have been attempted. That these experiments have, so far, so largely failed of injurious results has been chiefly due to yourself and your associates in the Supreme Court. When I was but a beginner in the law you were defending liberty in the tribunal of which you are a member; you are conspicuously still so doing. You have appeared in this respect the incarnation of the spirit and policy that have made our race great and happy; and I feel that if God loves our country He will still longer preserve you to it in this present hour of greatest need; and, so, I ask your permission to dedicate this hurried attempt to you, not because of any value in the tribute, but that I may, in the only way I can, express my admiration for all you are as well as all that you stand for; for, during the whole period of my citizenship, I have watched you ever "making way for liberty."

For nearly twenty years the national tribunals have been engaged in interpreting the Anti-Trust Act of July 2, 1890. That it has been considered deeply and earnestly by the Supreme Court is shown by the constancy and strength of dissenting opinion.

And yet, when recently asking a number of able and experienced counsel for definite opinions concerning it, they either did not feel able to reply, or did so with the greatest hesitation and difference of view.

Hastily, myself, looking at the cases, I was involved in the same conclusion. The Knight case seemed in direct conflict with the Securities case—four of the Justices thought it was; and the Anderson case with the Montague case. Yet, in later cases, all are equally cited as authority, and often for the same principle. Again: many of the cases speak of the Act as an application of the common law to "national trade" (I mean both interstate and international trade when I use this term), with additional sanctions. Others treat it as going further, but do not say why, or how much.

Then it is decided that "direct" restraints are illegal, "indirect" lawful; but that "indirect" restraints might be "inevitable," while "direct" restraints were often most circuitous. It is confusing to be told that all arrangements tending to stifle competition in national trade are direct and illegal restraints, but that, of course, a partnership that

Page:Earle, Liberty to Trade as Buttressed by National Law, 1909 06.jpg

 might make such competition even a fraud is, nevertheless, perfectly legal; that "unifications of interest" by complete ownership are indirect and legal, while they are also the most dangerous and illegal forms of direct restraint; that absolutely every restraint of trade is illegal, though there are many exceptions to this rule, without exception; that trade could be "reasonably" restrained, but that nothing could be more "unreasonable" than any restraint of that which is so vital to the nation; that monopolies could only emanate from sovereign authority; but that monopoly merely meant "sole sale," or that which tended to it, no matter how created, etc. Neither was there in text-book nor decision an easy and readily found answer to these apparent enigmas.

It may be that all this presents no difficulty to my brethren of the Bar, but that it did to me cannot be doubted. I am, therefore, tempted by my own difficulties and labors to write this essay, hoping that it may lighten similar ones for others should a solution prove burdensome to them also.

Pressed as I am by other duties, it is not my purpose to write a general treatise upon the subject, but merely to suggest possible solutions and explanations of some of the main difficulties of the subject including, of course, those already referred to.
