Y., it being a "Supplement or Appendix" to the first work, as a comprehensive illustrated sequel, bearing additional data found pertaining to the origin and continuance of many lines. and at the solicitation of many friends and relatives and which I think it my duty to perpetuate, so long as I have the records pressed upon me. And particularly of the full lines of the Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and other New England and other western and southern branches and lines. Also in­ cluding that c-f our near relatives the Meads, Paines and Vialls in full down from brief mention in first book, which it gives me pleasure to enumerate, as I have personally known and associated with them for the last 60 years or more. Also of the noted Bucks in "Who's Who" in America, and the wo·rks of the writers in American science and literature, and of the great world events that have taken place after the lapse of 7 years, of devoted research work in European and American descent7 from the first publication down to present reconstruction times. I am enabled to present you this work trusting it will be found as interesting and profitable as that which has preceded it, and now out of print, but may be found in many large. Libraries and Hist., Gen. and Biog. Societies, and Buck families and descendants throughout the land from Maine to Texas and California, to hand down t-0 posterity_ This not only ·being a new and later edition, but a concise epitome, and comprehen­ sive cc-ntinuance of the old work, as far as possible, for although a great part of the first book was sufficient in itself of the times and subjects named, yet some of it was necessarily fragmentary, as it had chanced to come into my hands from various families and sources, or being gathered from a wide field, with no order of presentation, however, the particular families, persons and subjects will be found well arranged and extended through the headlines and the index, and with the reference number to the pages of the first book, to which it pertains, if such be the case, and you should care for it. Also as being invaluable to all who have the first work, or easy access to it, in carrying out or explaining that work to -make it more definite and clear, in an interest­ ing, readable form, to all those who receive the book or claim the blood or revere the name. and now in submitting this work and yet claiming your indulgence, trusting that it may meet and deserve as kindly an acceptance as that which preceded it.

"O brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother; Where pity dwells, the place of God is there; To worship rightly is to love each other, Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer." (John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892.)

Introduction In defence of our heritage. We came mostly from the old New England stock and have inherited their patriotism and· justice. Our ancestors are a heritage from the past and we are proud to honor and have reverence for them and shall always_ revere their names, for blood will tell, no matter how far the drop is :removed from the source of suppl:y. · "Of all the affections of man those which connect him with ancestry are among the most natural and generous. They enlarge the sphere of his interests, multiply his motives to virtue and give intensity to his sense of duty to generations to come~ by the perception of obligation to those who are passed.'' (Josicih Quincy, 1772-186"4.)

Foreword

This volume is the direct outgrowth and development of the "Buck Hist. and Gen.t published in June, 1917, and copyrighted, covering and extending the same heads, lines and branches of the family tree, and striking events pertaining thereunto, after a lapse of seven years. It appeared at first as an exhaustive work of 250 pages, and at once met with an universal acceptance and appre•ciation, which has in no degree abated during the seven years• existence of its valuable data, circulation and dissemination, until the books were entirely exhausted. Since ·then the interest manifested which had already developed in the field of re­ search in the D. A. R. and the Sons of the Rev., and late World War has ·been augmented as evidenced by enquiring friends and relatives, and the attention that historical socie­ ties, libraries and other organizations are giving to the subject of biography~ genealogy, history and other kindred subjects. The various illustrations also which I have been enaibled to gather of late of noted persons and passing scenes and events, of several families and surroundings pertaining to the old, as well as the new lines of our ancestry have greatly added to- those of its present pages. The first book being out of print and not available to many (only those having it or easy access to it), the need of this later volume and more complete and h~lpful termina­ tion of many lines and kindred families and persons has been called for, with references to the .first book as a supplement. Even briefly to describe every event of romantic or historic interest in Europe and America of the first book in this sequel, has been my intention in an abridged, concise form and much o·f the older work which has been partly eliminated as of minor impor­ tance for the new version. The style of the original text, forming that of the separate subjects and paragraphs, with headlines for each event, after the manner of the :first book, has been carried out to show its proper relation to the descendants and relatives of the various families aRd persons herein introduced. While no general research has been made. many authorities have been consulted and material drawn from them and introduced, and if I have not noted it, and thanked or failed of acknowledgment · as intended of any notes or quotations, we hereby make amends for our vindication and pardon.

Origin of Surnames in the Good Old Days of Long Ago ( continued :from p. -1~ of First Book).

MANY SoURcEs OF Su-PPLY.

When Trades and Callings Were Exhausted Then Places and Events or Objects ana Per­ sonal Characteristics Were Pressed Into Service. It cannot but be admitted that considerable food for thoughtful reflection is offered in the study of the origination. of na-mes. It was all very well when the world was young; but, as a writer says. "As the population increased and communication became· possible and easier the supply of single names was not equal to the demand. and people began to get individuals bearing the same name mixed. It was at this time that the surname was thought of and adopted, so that families might be distinguished one from the other." Trades and callings are in this day represented in the names of Baker, Carver, Shoe­ maker, Tyler, Chandler, Mason, Cutler, Carter, Saddler, Slater, Butcher, Draper, Thatcher, Fletcher, Hooper, Cheeseman, Turner, Joiner, Cooper, Gilder, Mercer, Skinner, Coleman, Sawyer, Tanner, Spicer, Cook, Tutor, Miner, Driver, Weaver, Gardner, Archer, Merchant, Porter, Wainwright, Taylor, Shepherd, Glo·ver and ever so many others. Says Cli:ffard Howard, who has devoted himself to this pleasant study: "Such names as Hall, Stair, Garret, Kitchin and Chambers also record the occupa­ tions of our forefathers, who in these cases were engaged in the households of the nobility and had charge of such apartments as the names indicate. Others held higher offices, and from them we have the surnames Page, Butler, Procter, Forester, Steward, Baily, Fowler. and Woodward and Hayward, the keepers, respectively, of the forest and the cattle." In other localities it was usual to point out an individual by the place of his birth or residence, a custom which resulted in the adoption c-f such surnames as Frencll, Scott, Welsh, English, Dan, Burgoyne, Cornish and Cornwallis, Kent, York, Chichester, Lincoln, Wells, Washing.ton, Putnam, Hurst, Buchanan, Preston and Bancroft. A great many of this sort were originally the names of baronial estates, which names the b1rons adopted as surnames. 12 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

These who were not of such high estate were forced to content themselves with humbler titles. Thus John, who lived by the brook, became John Brook, and David, who lived by a giant oak, was called David Tree. Richard, who lived at the end of town, became Richard Townsend, while his brother, who lived under the brow of a hill, became· kno-wn as Peter Underwoc-d. Those who lived near the water took the name of Atwater. At the time family names began to be used the shops of the merehants were not numbered as they are now, but were known by their signs, which were suspended at the front doors and bore pictures of all sorts of animals, 'vegetables, birds, :flowers, fishes and insects. It was customary to speak of an innkeeper, then, as Jo·hn of the Bear, or Dick of the Swan, and, as may be readily understood, these names were soon converted into Bear, Hogg, Hart, Bull, Fox, Wolf, C-Olt, Hare, Beaver, Lyon, Swan, Peacock, Hero·n, Dove, Partridge, Cock, Fi:ich, Hawk, Crane and Drake, as well as Burt, Chubb, Haddo-ck, Herring, Pike, Perch and others. From vegetables. trees, fruits and flowers we have Bean, Broome, Clover, Birch, Ash, Hawthorne, Hazel, Peach, Flower, Nettle, Vine, Plant, Budd, Branch and Root, besides dozens more. The shop signs bore other devices, and from these we have such names as Bell, Hammer, Coates, Mantell, Jewel, Po-tts, Pipes and others. A great many nicknames remained fixed as family names, the most impor.tant being those which referred to the color of hair or complexion, and from these come such well known names as Brown, Black, Gray, White, Reed (red), Blount ( fai:r). Others were given for some personal attainment o·r characteristic, such as Armstrong, Mitchell (great), Singer, Whistler, Eatwell, Swindells, Strong, Weak, Small, Osgood ( well built) , Longfellow, Crookshanks, Longman, Whitehead, Broadhead, Swift, So-ber, Noble, Hardy, Doolittle, Goodman, Darling, Long, Short, Bachelor, Savage, Wise, Sweet, Moody and others. To these might be added King, Queen, Pope, Bishop, Knight, Prior, Abbott, Squire, Earl, Duke, Baron, Lord, Prince and others which were originally given to individuals because of their bearing the tiUes or because of services they .may have rendered them. There are. many more which do not come under any particular heading, but owe their origin to some event which the names appropriately indicate-Joy, Bliss, Morrow, Winter, March, May, Weeks and so on.-ExcJi.ange.

HERITAGE. Interest in ''Burke's" is by no means confined to Britons. There are few volumes which are in greater demand at the public libraries in the New World for purposes of genealogical investigation by Americans desirous of making researches bearing upon their ancestry and upon that of their friends. This is only natural. Page after page of "Burke's" dealing with the members of the British peerage and baronetage show in­ stances of members thereof who are mentioned as having "Emigrated to America," many of them in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, and as having -been lost to sight in this country by their relatives who stayed at home. The early immigrants from the British Isles were in many cases younger sons of the aristocracy, who crossed the ocean to seek their fortunes in the Western Hemisphere, and in -so·me cases because their room was -preferred in their native land to their com­ pany. A large proportion of the American people are descended from British, Scotch and Irish forbears. It is natural that they should like to· regard their ancestors as having been personages of distinction in the old country, a disposition for which, in many instances, there is excellent foundation.

AMERICANS STUDY GENEALOGY.

It is agreeable, especially for those who have acquired, along with wealth, some social eminence to feel that they are descended frc·m nobles rather than from hinds. Among their immediate progenitors either in America or in Europe it is always easy to find some one identified with the aristocracy of the United Kingdom. The attendants of the National Library of the British Museum in London record that American visitors surpass each year in numbers those of all other foreign countries put together, and that 13 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. at least 65 per cent. of those who hail from the United States ~sk for works ~n genealogy. It must be borne in mind that there are plenty of professional genealogists here and abroad who make handsome fees by establishing a blood relationship on the strength of the mere similarity of names, while it is no exaggeration to state that to nearly ev_ery one of the some 1,200 British, Irish and Scoteh ancestry has led to much confus1o•n, imposition and disappointment in this mixup and straightening out of lines an1 lineages. (See p. 219 of Buck Hist. and Gen.) ·

Earliest Grec·an History, Pertaining to .An~e~tral Line of the Bucks in Asia~

The Greeks, that were derived from Graeci, a small tribe in Epirus. were the first with whom the Romans became acquainted, hence the name. Greece or Relles, the coun­ try of the Greeks was the chief seat of learning and refinement at ~ peric·d wh~n nea~ly all the other European countries were involved in gross barbarism. To this period called the "herofo age,~~ belong the exploits of Hercules, Theseus, Minos and other heroes, exalted into demi-gods. for the zeal with which they redressed and punished oppression. (Seep. 9 of Book.) Until the Trojan war the Greeks had no command bond of union and hardly considered themselves as one people. That great event brought together the rulers, warriors, captains and sailc·rs of the different states and made them known to each other and laid the foundation of their national greatness. liomer, the greatest of poets, was an Ionian, born about 150 years after the destruc­ tion of Troy. Ios was the buria-1 place of Homer; his mc·ther was a native of the island. Ascra was the birthplace of Hesiod, born about 100 years after Homer. The books or poems of Homer as we now have them, were first committed only to bards, etc.~ who sang or reeited them at festivals and assemblies, at a period fixed at 880 B. C. They were not committed to writing until the period of Pisistratus, a Dictator or leader a,t Athens, 560 B. C. It was then they were giving themselves entirely to the study of ancient books, manuscripts and the histc·ry of centuries gone by. They knew because they had read old books, inscriptions and manuscripts before and now heard the stories of the bards and friars, which had_ come do"\\""n through centuries by word of mouth. passed from. father to son in their communicatic·n and intercourse in the cloisters and monasterieg of the old world. Notes relating to the Book. After the fall of Troy, at Caphareum promontory (Greek Islands) the Greek fleet was wrecked on its return from fall of Troy. At Oricuruna (Greek Isle), Epirus, Helen and Andromache reigned after the Trojan war. Diomedes, Kin5 of the Bistones, from Mycenae, whose residence was Abdera in Thrace, also returned home. Buthrotum (Ionian Isle) was visited by Aeneas on his way from Troy to Italy with his fleet. Muthc-ne was an ancient city, which received its name from Methone, daughter of Aeneas in Italy. In the vicinity of Epidaurus, on coast of Saronic Gulf. is Mount Arachnaeus. the last station of the telegra:phic fire by which the capture of Troy was announced at Mycenae, the same night it was taken, to Agamemnon's household (see p. 194 of Book). Cc-rinth, the capital of Corinthia, on the Peloponnesus, narrow · isthmus. has two ports: Lecbaenor on the Corinthian and Cenchraea, on the Saronic Gulf. Thev were always crowded with shipping. The city stood at the base of a hill 2,100 feet hlgh, on the suocmit was the Acro-Corinthus, the strongest fortress of Greece. The view from hence :i's one c-f the finest jn the world. The peaks of Helicon and Parnassus and the Acropolis of Athens are visibie in the distance. Corinth is now a mere village. Ithaca, one of the Ionian Isles, was the home of Ulysses, of Homer's Odyssey, who after the fall of Troy, from diverse winds. mishaps and marvelous adventures, first at Thrace and Aec-lus 2nd to Phylos and Delos and Ogygia by Colypso, 5 years detained and lastly ship­ wrecked and waylaid at Phaeacia, in all nearly 10 years.

Aneient History Personified and Reconstrnct~d in the Process and Con~truction of the Nations.

The Age of the Ancients, 1500 B C. to A. D. 500. From the dawn of history to the fall of the Roman Em.pire, all the principal forms of literary classic language and ex­ pression were developed, at least two of which, epic poetry and tragedy, have never been surpa.ssed. Yet the world was very small then, it was confined to Asia and the coasts and isles of the Aegean, Caspian, Adriatic. Black, Red and Ionian, a part of the Mediter­ ranean and then known as the "Seven Seas•! and did not extend further than the "Pillars of Hercules;· which long remained deeply fixed in the Greek mind as a terminus of all human adventure and aspiration and signifying completion and perfection. Its best ideals of civilizatic-n were necessarily narrow. being limited by pagan.ism, slavery, bar­ barism and idolatry. H·owever, they attained to a certain degree of perfection. The Dark Ages, 500-1000 A. D. Unheeded by the pride and selfishness of its rulers and heroes, the best Roman civilization was crumbled and swept away by wave after wave of barbarian invasions. Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Huns, Lombards and Van­ dals, in turn swarmed over the face o-f Europe, spreading terror and desolation. Learn­ ing,. art, industry and government perished.

Charles the Great, was not a mere commander, but a leader whom men of every class· gladly· followed with love as well as respeet. Yet their ideals were low, mainly of physical prowess and sheer :brute strength. Students flocked to the Universities of Paris, Oxford and Boulogne in thousands, begging their way, traveling on foot for hundreds of miles. Religion seized man even more firmly, finding them active or meditative occupations, eith~r in the monasteries and cloisters or in the Crusades of Antioch, Jerusalem and Constantinople, where the greatest treasures of Greek literature had been jealously hidden away and guarded there for centuries. Now that the monks, priests and scholars were compelled to take their departure and the inhabitants had to fly for their lives, they let loose a store of new thought on the nations of western Europe and the Great Renaissance period, of the revival o·f letters and arts in the 15th century in Italy and in the 16th century in France and England, of the use of the freer literature of Greece and Rome in the assembly of wise men and the courts of justice. Athens was the uni­ versity at which all well educated Romans had studied and Rome was its offspring. Taking refuge in Italy they brought with them their rich volumes and documents. The Italian and Roman enthusiasm, and the ardor wtth which their di-scoveries were pub­ lished to the world, spread like wild fire through France, Germany and England and the continent of Europe. To this great Renaissance period, 1400-1600 A. D., everywhere mankind awoke to a larger, newly awakened country and curiosity and environment.

Our Earliest Ancestral History in Flanders, of the Bucks, in their Genealogical Family Descent. In the older chronicles, ,.:Annals Blandiniensis/' compiled before 1064 from earlier documents and genealogical histories of Flanders, as set ·forth, "A traditio-nal connection is established with descent, in line of King.Priam, ruler of Troy, we find and the founder of the Foresters, as they are called, in a certain Liderick le Bue," only son of Saluart, Prince of Dijon, and of Madame Eringartte. da.u. of Gerard, Lord of Rousillon, later provinces in France, who says Lambert, noted canon of St. Omer in Flanders, "videns Flandriam vacuam et incultam ac memorosam, occupavit earn" (seeing Flanders empty and untilled and covered w-ith groves he seized it) and "What ere they seized upon or conquered that they held." ( Enc. Brit., 9th Ed., vol. 9, p. 290.) Anteno·r the Trojan, after the fall of Troy, migrated to the farthest gulfs of the -Illyrian coast~ to the northern shore of the Adriatic Sea, to Pannonia and Venetia, whence he founded the city of Patavium or Padua (near Venice) whence the origin of the Batavian Franks, says Fredegarius and St. Gregory of Tours in his history of the Franks, 539-595, A. D., historian of the Franks and father of French history covering a period of 175 years of invaluable record. In their ancestral lore the Franks came from the east and were undoubtedly of Troj~Hellenic origin and settling in Franconia or Batavia, also had their origin through Antenor, .Aeneas and others and -so down through to Marcomir, 263 A. D., frc-m the first appearance of the Franks in Gaul about 241 A. D. as recorded by Caesar. About 540 A. D. the Franks a warlike people, originally inhabited Franconia in Germany, and under their leader, Pharamond, first nominal king of France, 400 A. D., settied in that part of Gaul af.terwards known as Flanders. Two centuries later a con­ siderable portion of Flanders was governed by a tyrant named Phinart. This was in the reign over France of Clothare 2d of the Merovingian Dynasty, among which bloody strifes were going on. In 621, for having repelled the attacks of the_ Goths and con­ quered and killed the tyrant, Dagobert son c·f Clothaire 2, divided his· kingdom in.to several provinces and bestowed upon Liderick the government and fief, "Grand Forester and Count of Flanders," and gave him his sister Richilda, the Merovigingian princess, in marriage and the surname of .:'le Bue" ( in semblance to that animal) and a sword and shield on which was engraved in gold and blue (bronze) with 10 pieces of silver, in the middle of ~n escutcheon, significant of the name and occasion. It was one of the earliest ever granted and which he ·bore ever after over his coat of mail. . ( See pp. 21, 22 and 140 of Book.) The reign of Dagobert was the most brilliant of the Meroving.ian line, after his father~s death he ruled c·ver the whole of the Frankish dominions. His court was remarkable for magnificence rivaling that of Constantinople. Liderick le Bue governed Flanders wisely to his death in 640 A. D. His castle, l'Isle or Lille, was afterwards capital of Flanders. In this chateau or castle, Liderick's descendants and suc­ cessors as rangers, foresters and Counts of Flanders resided for several centuries, says Angilbert, secretary and son-in-law of Charlemagne. 'By Richilda, his wife, Liderick le Bue had 15 children, his descendants for six gene- rations after his death in 692, governed Flanders as follows, viz.: 1st.

Washington, March 24.-Today·s installment c.f the National Geographic Society's war geography deals with the Turkish Peninsula of Gallipoli. It says: "Gallipoli Peninsula, the Chersonesus Thracica of classical geography. where one of the most powerful battle fleets of all times is attacking, is the spur defense of Turkey in Europe, the best guarantee for centuries and the last guarantee in the present of the Ottoman empire~s place among the great powers. It is a fruitful land, whose condi­ tions at one time ?"ave promise of a world-important commercial future. The Turkish occupation of 1357, however, cut off this promise, and the land has remained as much an obscure land to the twentieth century as it was to the Greeks of Pericles· Athens. The wonderful water avenue which stretches behind it toward the heart of central Africa has remained stagnant of all development. '~Gallipoli Peninsula forms the European bank of the Dardanelles. To the north, it is enclosed by the deeply indented Gulf of Saros. The soils of this district are exceed­ ingly fertile and well adapted to agriculture. The peninsula is a hilly rib of land, 55 miles in extent and varying between three and 13 miles in breadth. It supports about 100,000 pepole. It was the first section of European land to come under the domination of the Crescent. "Wheat and maize are grown in considerable quantities here, and are exported to the Aegean islands and to Turkish ports. Barley, oats and linseed were raised largely for Great Britain, and canary seed was exported to Australia. Turkish rule, however, has been a continual dead weight upon its development. For example. a wine was formerly produced from Gallipoli's grapes which was held in admiration wherever con­ noisseurs of alcoholic beverages came together. It was exported in great quantities to France and there blended with other wines. The Turks put a tax of 55 per cent. upon it, which drove the vintners to uproot their vines and sacrifice their industry. "No important industrial establishments have been developed here. There are some steam flc·ur-mills, a sardine factory and there is, further, a limited manufacture of leather and silk in the chief town, Gallipoli, which lies upon the· Marmora Sea at its junction with the Dardanelles. Besides the grains, cheese, skins of goats and sheep, and meat products make up the bulk of the peninsula's export. It imports woolen and fabrics and hardware. The United States practically has no part in this trade.~~ 18 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

New York, November 4.-Direct from a paradise,. where since the year 841 there has been no politics, strikes, profiteering, drunkenness or disorder, and only one violent death-came two men to New York today. They journeyed from Andorra, the "oldest and smallest republic in the world.~~ The steamship_ Cataluna, from Barcelona,. Spain, brought them. It costs Andorra $400 a year to maintain its independence and peace from outside interferenee, they said. This money is paid in tribute equally divided between France and Spain, its neighbors. Sharlemagne gave the territory its freedom and it has been maintained uninterrupted to date. Fisk Warren and .Joseph Alemany, trustees of the single tax· colony of Sant Jordim, were the two arrivals from Andorra. They are on their way to Fair Hope, Ala., near Mobile, to attend the celebra,tion of its twenty-fifth anniversary as the oldest and largest single tax community in the world. Andorra, they said, pays its president $16 a year, and its twenty-four members of Parliament $5 each. The country is 175 miles in extent. Its population is 6,000. ~'There is no internal strife in Andorra,'~ Mr. Warren declared, "because the people know each other so well that irresponsible persons never can hope to fool any part of them any part of the time, and never hold office. There are no newspapers. A large percentage of the people are illiterate but intelligent." Mr. Warren and Mr. Alemany will go first to Harvard, Mass., where the former founded a single tax colony.

ARMY UNIFORMS INVENTED BY LACEDEMONIANS. The early Lacedemonians were the first who availed themselves of martial music for regulating the march, as well as making the will of the leaders intelligible without words to practiced ears of the warriors. The learning of the various melodies, which, that they might remain unintelligi-ble to the enemy,. hacl much variety, was one of the chief occupations of the army training school. They also first adopted military uniforms, choosing red that the enemy might not perceive if he had inflicted wounds. Lacede­ monian troops were wc-nt to wear their hair long as a sign of freedom, a privilege which - was not allowed to mechanics, as it was not permitted to slaves to bear arms. At the opening and during the continuance of war the ,military officers always accompanied the army and drilled it in the morning with marching, in manipulations and evolutions; they ate with the warriors, exercised them in their songs of praise to the gods and heroes, and slept like the private soldiers, on their arms. At the conclusion of a war the king gave an account of his administration of it. Men who died in battle were honored with that of other immortalized heroes. The whole country put on mourning when the king died, and business was suspended for 10 days.

sion-Paris (originally called Lutetia) was named from Paris Alexander, son of Priam, King of Troy, for we read in the "Acts of the Franks/' that the first King of the Franks, who exercised the royal power was Pharamond, son of Marcomir, whose father was Priam, King of Austrasia. This Priam, King of Austrasia, was not, however, the great Priam, King of Troy, but he was a descendant of Hector, Priam~s son, through Francius, as will be seen from the following table, viz. (with notes to sabstantiate).

PRIA:\:I, KING OF TROY. I I I HECTOR. TROLIUS. Astrynax, the only son o.f Hector ( says Trolius, a son of Priam, King of Troy HIOmer). (says Virgil). Francius, grandson of Hector (Francia or Trolius and Cressida, his favorite niece "Free Men~') . ( says the Poets) . Priam, King of Austrasia ( des. of Fran­ Truck, son of Trolius, origin of the Turks, cius). or Turanrians, royal Scythians, Par­ Marcomir, his son ( first appearance of thians, Turanic Teutons, Goths and Franks in Gaul, 241 A. D.). Vandals. Regnacher (Frankish King). (Franks from the lower Rhine, under .Aribogast~ in­ vade Gaul, 253-263 A. D.) Pharamond, son of Mareomir, first King o-f Gaul, reigned 11 years, 418 A. D. Clodius ( or on), his son, reigned 20 years, 428 A. D. Meroveus, of his race, reigned 17 years, 447 A. D. Childerick, his son, reigned 20 years to 458 A. D. Holdowig, or Clovis, reigned 25 years to 481 or 482 A. D.

Franconia was colonized by Therry 1st, eldest son of Clovis 1st, who succeeded to his father's German Austrasia at Metz; with Cladomer at Orleans, 511 A. D.; Childerick 1st and 2d at Paris, 511 to 752; Clotarie at Soisson, 558; and his other sons in Naustria and other possessions, 510-511 A. D. After these came Chas. Martel, 714-741; Pepin, the Short, 752-757; Charles the Great, or Charlemagne, 772 to 814; and Carlomen, 768 A. D. (over a part). Now since it is not rare to· find those who doubt this origin of the Franks and the authorities which would prove that the Kings of France may really be traced back to the Trojans. we have taken pains to collect all the information in the history of St. Gregory of Tours (Historian of the Franks, 539-595 A. D.) in the chronicles of E"usebius (Eccls. Bishop of Caesarea, 260-339) and of Idacus ( a Spanish prelate and an author of the 5th century) and Ignatius (Joseph Leycista Irene, a Monk of the Order of St. Benedict, of the 5th century) besides the writings of many others of reputed authority, in order to establish this genealogy correctly. After the destruction of Troy a great number of the inhabitants of that city fled and later separated into two peoples, one of these took for their King, Francius, grandson of Hector and consequently great-grandson of Priam, the fo·rmer King of the Trojans; the other followed Truck, the son of Troilus, the second son of Priam, to lower Scythia, fo·rming a Kingdom ( whom being intermixed) is ascribed the royal Scythians and the origin of the Oster and Hypo Goths, Vandals and the Turks and Normans. Having advanced inland, they soon found themselves in Thrace, on the banks of the Danube, where they afterward became separated, but near here Francius founded his state under the name of Sicumbria. There he and his descendants reigned for the space of 1507 years, until the time of the Emperor Valentinian, who came to the throne 20 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. in the year 37G A. D. They were then driven from their country because they refused to pay, like the other nations, a tribute to the Romans. The Alemanni or Suevic tribes of Salii, Bructeri, Cherusci and Catti, led by Arbogast, they finally established them­ selves upon the banks of the Rhine, in a country neighboring upon Germany and Ale­ mannia, called Austrasia. Valentinian having tried their courage in many conflicts with­ out ever ibeing able to vanquish them, called this people by their .proper name of "Franks,'~ that is to say, in the language north, "France·~ (that is, ferocious). The Franks soon increased their power to such an ex.tent that they finally conquered all Germany and Gaul, as far as the Pyrenees and beyond. Notes.-During the reign of Augustus, ending 14 A. D., Gaul :became an integral part of th~ Roman Empire and was organized into four provinces, this division persisted for four centuries. Later the history of the Gauls merged in that of other peoples :ind was overrun by the Celts, Visigoths, Salians, Belgians, Burgundians. and, lastly, the Franks, a ·mixture of Bructeri, Chatti, Batavi and Sigambi became united and drove out the others and were soon recognized as a distinct nation, before the end of the 3d century, and so in time out of the conflict of petty warfares, the modern French nation was born.

Flanders. the old name of a portion of Europe, including at one time the provinces of East and West Flanders in Belgium, ip-c:trt of the Dutch province of Zealand, and the French department of Le Nord. Philip the Bold, King of France, appointed his son-in­ law, Baldwin, to rule over this territory, with the title of count, early in the 9th century. Count Baldwin imported into the country great numbers of skilled workers of woolen goods and started the commercial progress of both Flanders and surrounding terri­ tories. Though at one time the Counts of Flanders were more powerful than the French Kings, the French on the south and the Dutch on the north, gradually encroached on and lessened these dominions. On the death in 14 77 of Charles the Bald, who by mar­ riage had united Flanders with his own Duchy of Burgundy. .the Austrian house of Hapsburg became rulers of Flanders. It was in 1430 that Philip the Good. Duke o! Burgundy, instituted the order of the "Golden Fleece/' named from the profits he had made on wool. Thirty-seven villages were included in. the property owned by the order, 21 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. which property was called "Franc de Bruges,'' and afterward e~tended to England by the "Henesteatic League." In Napoleonic times Flanders was incorporateu with the French Empire and by the Congress of Vienna was united to Belgium and Holland, forming the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Between 1830 and 1832, Belgium gained its independence, retaining the present provinces of East and West Flanders. East Flanders has an area of 1,158 square miles and is one o·f the most thoroughly cultivated .and thickly settled provinces of Europe. The capita1l is Ghent, a noted manufacturing center. West Flanders, the capital of which is Bruges, has an area of 1,249 square miles and at one time the com­ mercial exchange of Europe was centered there, and its merchant princes and impressive buildings were the pride and glory of its inha1bitants, and its fame and trade extended to all countries, and although strongly fortified, during the war of the nations, both these prc·vinces were .run over and occupied by the ruthless German armies, and their great­ ness swept away by battle and pillage. Coutrai, Belgium, capital of the Province of West Flanders, 26 miles southwest of Ghent. It is a well :built, fortified, manufacturing town, situated on both sides of the Lays and connected by railways with most of the principal places in Belgium. Among Us most noted public buildings are the hotel de ville, a Gothic edifice built in 1526 and containing two dissimilarly unique carved chimney pieces, representing the "Virtues" and "Vices," and events in the early history of the town, and the Church of Notre Dame, a Gothic structure founded in 1238 by Baldwin, Co-unt of Flanders and Emperor of Constantinople. An exscript, a small portion on one side, modernized, adorned and lined with marble, co·ntains Vandyke's celebrated painting of the "Raising of the Cross," and was the burial place of the Counts of Flanders. In St. Martin's Church is a beau­ tiful tabernacle of carved stonework in the richest Gothic style, erected a1bout the end of the 13th century, which dates from 1390, was rebuilt in the 15th century and again­ after ·being burned in 1862. Coutrai has also an exchange, a college, an academy of. design, two orphan asylums and a 1public library. A great part of the inhabitants are employed in the spinning of flax and the weaving of plain and damask linens. From 5,000 to 6,000 women are employed in lace-making, besides cotton and woolen goods, paper, sugar, tobacco, leather, soap, etc., are manufactured. The vicinity is highly cultivated, producing large quantities of the finest flax for supplying the manufactories of the tc·wn and for exportation, of which the late World War has ravaged, depopulated despoiled and devastated large areas of it. Coutrai existed in the time of the Romans under the name of Cortoriacum ( one of the fortified camps or courts), whi~h was .after­ ward changed to the Flemish, Kortryx or Curtricum. In the 7th century it was a municipal city and in July, 1302, was fought under its walls the famous ''Battle of the Spurs," in which 20,000 Flemings, chiefly weavers from Ghent and Bruges, routed and put to flight a French army of 7,000 knights and noblemen and 40,000 infantry. About 700 gilt spurs were gathered on the field of battle the next day and hung u.p as a trophy in the church of the convent of Groenangen, now destroyed. However, the town was taken by the French in 1793 and made the capital of the depar.tment of Lys or Leye. Population in 1912, 34,564, before the late war, in which this fair and peaceful country was invaded and overrun by the hosts of the grasping, ruthless Germans under the leadership of the Kaiser Wm. 1st of Hohenzollern in 1917 and 1918, and only luckily by the interposition of the civilized nations, to be repulsed and be overthrown to seek refuge in Holland. Matilda, bn. 1031, died 1083, the wife of Wm. the Conqueror, was of royal Saxon blood. She was in fact the direct descendant of the best and noblest of their monarchs, Alfred, thrc·ugh the marriage of his dau. Elstrith with Baldwin 2d of Flanders, whose ~on Arnold the Great, was the immediate ancestor of Matilda. Few of the Queens of England can claim a more iUustrious descent than this princess. Her father, Baldwin 5th, surnamed the Gentle, Earl of Flanders, was the son of Baldwin 4th, by Elenora, dau. of Duke Richard 2d of Normandy, and her mother was Adelais, dau. of Robert, King of France and sister to Henry, the reigning sovereign of that country. She was nearly related to the EIIlll)eror of Germany and to most of the royal families in Europe. She was very carefully educated and was po-ssessed of fine natural talents and no less cele­ brated for her learning, than for her great beauty and perfection of prudence and virtue and excelled in needlework. The Earl of Flanders, her father, was a rich, powerful and po-lite prince, equally skilled in the arts of war and peace. It was to him that the that the town of Lille, which he rebuilt and greatly beautified, owed its subsequent

Duke Wm. of Normandy having learned that Baldwin, Earl of Flanders had a dau., Matilda, very beau­ tiful in person and of a generous disposition, sent deputies by the advice of his peers, to ask her, of her father in marriage, who gladly consented (although she had had other suitors) and gave her a large portion, with large stores of wealth and very rich "Appareil­ ment" and they were md. in 1053, and he took her to his own castle at Falaise in Normandy, and afterward to Winchester, Eng. Matilda was very fair and graceful and proficient in spinning, weaving and embroidery. The domestic happiness that Wm. enjoyed with his beautiful duchess and "regina'~ appears to be very great, and that they were a most attached pair, for Wm. was the most devoted of husbands. Nine months after their marriage Matilda gave bi,rth to a son named Robert, Duke of Nor­ mandy (1054-1134) aifter his father. The happiness of the royal pair was greatly increased by this event (he finally md. the Countess of Friesland) and was followed in quick succession by that of Richard ( who died young in the Forest) . Wm. Rufus 2d. (1087-1100) and Henry 1st (1100-1135), Cecilia, Agatha, Constance, Adela, Gundrel and Edith, and they employed themselves in superintending the education of this lovely and numerous family at Caen, Normandy. Cecilia became a nun in the convent for 52 years and an abbess, 37 years. Agatha died in love of Duke Edward, youngest son of Haro-Id, unmarried. Constance md.

. . 'Washington, March 26.--~Bruges is a plaintive memory, a city that well typifies wa.r-deluged Belgium.

In the fourteenth century, the exchange of Europe was regulated there. Then the name of Bruges was in the mouths of all who spoke of Europe; now it is merely one of a countless number of small towns, and most people outside of Belgium turned to their atlases when it was mentioned in the present war to find out where it was.'' Thus begins a statement given out today by the National Geographic Society. It then con­ tinues: ''There still remain a few impressive buildings to attest the greatness that has flown like a dream, swept away -by battle and by pillage. But the city no longer houses thousands of wealthy merchants, and it is many generations since the times when the commercial princes of this city entertained with a lavishness famed throughout the length and breadth of Christendom.

Ten thous2nd bells of Belgium have been melted up for guns; Not even altar vessels have been sacred to the Huns. Their Illjetal, mixed wtih base alloy, is shot at Belgian men. With the Hun"s cold sneer, "The Belgians shall have their bells again!''

Louvain Sacked and Burned by Germans in Late \Vorld War (Continued from I•· 1-16 oi First Book).

LOUV AIN SACKED AND BURNED. Beautiful City, Famous for its Universit.Y and Library, De.'5troyed and Inhabitants Murdered by German Troops. ( By Telegraph to The Freeman.) London, Aug. 29.-That the beautiful Belgian city of Louvain is in ashes, and that the Germans massacred a portion of the :population and sacked the city before applying the torch, is the assertion made in a dispatch received today by the P<>st from its correspondent at Ternheusen, Holland. The dispatch, which the correspondent states is based on the story told to him by fugitives who escaped from the city, follows: "The Germans sacked and burned Louvain, Wednesday night. They massacred the greater part of the population, including women, children and clergymen. Even the nationality of the clergymen did not save them and among those put to death were Americans and English. "All the noble buildings, including the town hall, Hotel De Ville, library and univer- sity were destroyed. . "The Germans' explanation for the outrage is that they were fired upon by civilian inhabitants.'' Many of the refugees arriving at Ternheusen.. however~ state that the civilians did not fire on the soldiery. They offer as an explanation of the alleged attack made upon the Germ:ans the fact that German troops, falling back from Malines to Louvain, were mistaken by their own troops there as enemies. An exchange of shots continued until it was discovered that the opposing forces were friends. Others seem to think that the Germans enraged by their lack of success at Malines, sought revenge upon the city of Louvain and its innocent inhabitants. Louvain was regarded as the most beautiful city in Belgium and one of the most beautiful in Europe. It had a population of 42,200. Many of its buildings erected 400 and 500 years ago have served for centuries as models of ancient architecture. The city was almost entirely surrounded by walls, erected in the 14th century. Louvain was the seat of learning in Belgium. It was in 891 that the Emperor of Arnulf defeated the Normans in ·fue vieinity of Louvain. For many years afterward it was the residence of a long line of counts, who in 1190 assumed the title of Dukes of Brabant. The growth of Louvain was rapid during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and early in the fourteenth century it had a population around 150,000. Then it was the center of the cloth trade, containing about 2,400 factories and was one of the most pros­ perc-us and :flourishing cities in Europe. ' But its decay began in 1378, following an insurrection. Weavers, inflamed toward the aristocrats that lived there entered the town hall and threw 13 magistrates, of noble family, through the windows. The populace below caught them on sperurs. In 1382 the Duke of Wenceslaus overcame the rebels and severely punished them. He sent thousands of weavers to Holland and England, where they transplanted their hands, craft and frc·m that Ume on Louvain ceased to be the weaving center of the world. The Hotel de Ville, known in later years as the town hall, was erected in 1448-59. 1t ranked as one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture in the world. It was three stories high, had ten windows in each of the principal facades, each facade being richly sculptured. Gables and spires added to the wonderful beauty of the building. The late-Gothic Church of St. Pierre, another wonderful edifice, was begun in 1425 but not finished until the 16th century. The library, containing some of the rarest books in the world, was of later construction, work on it having been started in 1726. The -interior of the building was filled with classical works of the world famous sculptors and it vied with the church in its collection of wonderful paintings. The University building was erected in 1426. The seat of learning was established by Pope Martin V and Duke John IV, of Burgundy. .In the sixteenth century it numbered 4,000 students, and ranked as one of the greatest universities in the world. The enroll­ ment of students a year ago was 1.600. 25 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

WORKS OF ART DESTROYED. Louvain·s Splendid Gothic Hotel De Ville and Church of St. Pierre. The mediaeval Louvain was the most irr,iportant city in the territory now included in Belgium until the ,fourteenth century, when its commercial :;tctivity gradually declined after a bloody civil war. A little later it regained its importance in another way, becoming a great seat of learning after Duke John IV of Brabant founded there in 1423 the Louvain University, which, until its destruction, was still the leading university of Belgium. . Early in the fourteenth century Louvain had a population of more than 50,000, and was-a prosperous center of the woolen trade, its guild of weavers numbering more than 2',400. Its population in 1910 was 42,200, and Baedeker described it as "a dull place." Its complete destruction, however, means the loss to the world of some of the finest examples of Gothic architecture. The most remarkable building in Louvain was the Hotel de Ville, a -rich and ornate example of pointed Gothic. It was built by Mathieu de Layens, master mason, who worked on it from 1448 to 1463. It had three -stories, each with ten pointed windows in the principal facade. At the four corners and from the center of the gables sprung six slender octagonal turrets, terminating in open spires. There were three facades, each lavishly enriched with sculpture. In the niches were statues of men who figured in the town~s history. The corbels supportlng the statues bore reliefs representing scenes from Old and New Testament history. Opposite the Hotel de Ville was the fine Church of St. Pierre, in the form of a cross, with a lower tower to which the spire called for by the design had never been added. It w-as built between 1425 and 1497 on the site of an older church. In it were seven chapels, two of them decorated by fine .pictures by Dierick Bouts, formerly attributed to Memling. Much of the iron and brass work was that of the master artificer, Jean Matsys. An ancient tomb in the church was a monument of Henry I, Duke of Brabant, who died in 1235. Four other interesting churches in Louvain were St. Gertrude~s, St. Quentin's, St. Michaers and St. Jacques~s. In the last was a fine De Crayer representing St. Hubert. The Louva,in University had been established since 1679 in the old Cle-th Workers' Hall, a building dating from 1317, with long arcades and graceful pillars supporting the upper stories. The university lrbrary contained 70,000 volumes and 500 manuscripts. Attached to the university were ,four residential colleges at which the number of stu­ dents in rec~nt-years had averaged 2,000. In the sixteenth century, when the univer­ sity was in its meridian glory, it had 6,000 students.

Hissarlic, the· Seat of Ancient Tror, in Dr. Schl:emann's Excavations and those of Dr. Dorpfield in 1893. On the hill of Hissarlic in the Trojan plain, Dr. Schliemann has found and unearthed the ancient palaces and temples of Troy; has laid bare its collossal fortifications and brought to light its treasures of gold and silver, thus unfolding to the m.-0st credulous the great Homeric pre-historic tradition of the royal city and capital of a broad domain which culminated in the great Trojan war, similar to what took place in the 5th century, when the invading German tribes overwhelmed the civilization of Rome and destroyed its supremacy. Later excavations on the spot carried on in conjunction with Dr. Dorpfeld have found below the debris of the successive cities, in the blackened ruins of the conflagration, the buried remains of the Skaean gate, the Palace walls, the aqeducts and water courses, fountains and washing troughs, 'besides their buried treasures left behind at that time and thus revealing and confirming in the site of the great find the city whose sie_ge and destruction is commemorated in the Iliad {p. 19 of Book).

The Site of Ancient Troy Made Famous by Homer and Helen. Recent arch~ological rP:searches indicate that the modern town of Pergamum stands on the spot where the most romantic siege of history occurred... Excavation work on a big scale is contemplated.

SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. continuous history of these early times from the many cylinders and tablets of gold and silver and other relics that have been and are still being uncovered in this interest­ ing region of Ilios and Mycenae, the cradle of Aryan civilization. The Trojan children of the Phrygians played a more brilliant part in the history of that portion of the world than did the parent tribes. They founded their capital city upon the ruins of the Neolithic settlement, and there it stood for we know not how long. As restored by Dr. Schliemann and others, it has a wonderful tale to tell. It tells us of a former sacking many ages before its final ruin, .for the Ilios that the Greeks burned was built on a partially ruined Ilios of an earlier date and with other succeeding cities fo-llowing it. Thus are we given an insight to the foundation of the ancient Greek legend, that the angry Hercules, on account of the deceit of Laomedon, had once cap­ tured and partially destroyed the city. It is acknowledged to ·be the Homeric Ilios, for all the landsmarks are there: The Acropolis with its six palaces, surrounded by the Poseidonian walls of defense and filled with the treasures of gold, could have been n~ other than the home of the aged Priam. Thus does it prove true that the recent dis­ coveries in the Troad show that Ilium was as real a place as Thebes." (E. A. Allen, Vol. 3, p. 198, in "History of Civilization/' 1889.) After Dr. Schliemann·s death in 1890 (see page 213 of Buck Gen.), the latest news from the explorations at Hissarlic (from Levant Journal~ July 7th) comes to us from the owner of the site, Mr. Calvert, U. S. consul at Dardanelles. It was readily seen that the second or burned city which Dr. Schliemann enthusiastically assumed to be the city of Priam, instead of entirely solving the question of the "Iliad/~ offered new .problems to the archaeologist. The precious objects and the works of art there found were evidently ruder and more ancient by some centuries than those of Mycenae and, therefore, de­ cidedly earlier- than Homeric Troy. In the sixth city, however, pottery of· a Mycenaean type was discovered and this led Dr. Dorp:field, in May, 1893, to. resume the excavations, assisted at the expense 9f Dr. Schliemann~-s widow, and later by the Ger. Govt. Archae­ ological Society, to extend excavations on this level, with results that are now proving fruitful, and that are likely to be conclusive. Curiously enough, Dr. Sehliemann's exca­ vations obscured rather than aided this particular investigation. The area of the sixth city was twice as great as the space covered by the successive acropolises of the other five and, in consequence, their debris was dumped on the very spQt w.hich Dr. Dorpfield has just been cleaning. The massive wails he has uncovered, from five to six meters broad, the lofty towers and the streets which has been traced, may certainly be assumed to belong to the Homeric Troy. The sixth layer has now in a large part been exposed by Dr. Dorpfield and reveals the most imposing wall of pre-Roman ti-mes. The remains of seven vast buildings have ·been brought to light, which have in part the ground plan of the ancient Greek temples and the !halls of Tiryns and Mykenae, though surpassing those in proportions and in the carefulness of their architecture. The remains of one admirable building contained a hall 37 by 30 feet. Further, Dr. Dorpfield uncovered the fortifications of this city in many places and found them some 16 feet hi. thickness, with a still greater hei-giht; on the outside the wall has a uniform slope. A strong tower 58 feet in diameter, contains an inner staircase. In strength, proportions and careful architecture this tower will compare favorably with any tower of Greek antiquity. These excavations of 1890 and later have brought to light two magnificent buildings in the sixth layer, besides "Lydian jars/! much pottery, and one entire -vase of the Mykenean or Homeric period. The correspondence in the sto·ne work of the wall and the houses and potteries place the tower and the buildings evidently in the same layer and foundation of the sixth city, the veritable Ilium or Troy of Homer.

As to their dealings with the ancient Tyricanians, Sidonians and Phoenicians, Homer says, "The silver vase proposed by Achilles as a prize in the funeral games in honor c,f Patroclus, was a work of the skiiiful Sidoniansi'; the garment Hecuba offers as a propitiatory gift to Minerva, was the work of "the Sidonian women." The gold­ edged silver bowl given to Telemachus by Menelaus, Hiephaistos had received from the .:'king of the Sido·nians." Ulysses is left on the Island of Ithaca by the Phaeacians, detained by the fair Calipso in the Isle of Bgyaia, "w;ho sail away to well peopled 'Sidonia,' and the rival cities of the Tyrians," where he falls in with the Princess Nausica of the Phaeacians, who entertained him with her handmaidens and Circe, dau. of Sol and n-ymp•h or enchantress of Pease in Lesbian. The Sirens Scylla and Charybdis and other adventures, brought the tale up to Colypo· once more.

With the interview with Penelope he hastens to greet his old father Laertes and his o-ld servant Eumaeus (the swine-herd), who discloses the death of his true old dog, Argos. on sight of his master and the recognition of Telemachus by his old nurse. ( Impossible romance you may say! Yet one of the most human stories ever told.) Dr. Schliemann, in his researches, has found nearly all these spots and places men­ tioned in his published narratives. Ulysses, the King of Ithaca and the most famous of the Greeks in the Trojan War, was one of the suitors of Helen, and proposed the compact which bound the Greeks to support the husband of Helen, whoever he might be, in case she should be abducted, as she bad been twice before by desperate lovers enthralled by her beauty. When he found that he could not be successful in his suit for her, he married Penelope, the faith­ ful daughter of Icarus, with whom he was very happy. Then he returned to Ithaca, received the crown from his father, and began to enjoy life in ease and quiet. But when Helen was so rashly abducted by Paris, he knew that he would be called upon to fulfill bis part o·f the compact and desiring to remain at home with his wife, he pretended to be insane, and spent his time plowin~ the seashore with a horse and •bull yoked together, and in sowing the shore with salt. However, Palamedes, who came to summon him, suspected the fraud. and he put little Telemachus, Ulysses' son, in the furrow and when Ulysses turned the plow aside to save his child, Palamedes was con­ firmed in his c,pinion of the deception. He urged upon Ulysses the binding force of his vow and Ulysses went to the war. Throughout the Trojan War he distinguished him­ self, not only by his great valor, but by the wisdom of his counsel and the keenness of his insight into Trojan methods, to defeat them. He fought with Ajax and wo-n the glorious armor of Achilles.

"The ancient mistress of the world.!' Thou­ sands of years ago, when the ancestors of the French, English and American nations were living ,as barbarians in the trackless forests of Northern and Western Europe, it was a great city, and the center of a great empire; it was the mistress. "That sate on her seven hills and from her throne of beauty ruled the world.~~ The Mediterranean Sea was the center of the ancient world. Slowly civilization spread about its shores from east to west, from Egypt and Western Asia to Greece and finally Rome, and each nation as it rose, developed and eventually disappeared, contributed something to the growing civilization. Rome stood as an example o-f law and government, for the ability to organize an empire and to rule it; and it also handed down the treasures of science and of art and discovery, which it had received from the older nations. ~'The Roman Empire is the lake or reservo-ir in which all the streams of ancient -history lose them­ selves, and which all streams of modern history flow out of, everything pointed to Rome." ( J. H. Stoddard.) . Only from a study of its history can come a comprehension of the wonderful place which Rome has filled in the life of the world. The Romans were very proud of their origin, for were they not descended from that great hero of Troy, Aeneas? Wandering about after the fall of the city, legend says, he was led by the stars of the gods to Italy, and there his son Latinus founded Alba Longa (the Long White City) which became the chief of the Latin cities on the Tiber. Centuries later, 753 B. C., Romulus founded o-n the Palatine, one of the seven hills, a new city which was called Rome. · In the history of Constantinople, and in the legends of ancient Greece, we read that the Argonauts, under the leadership of Jason, saiied up ,the Bosphorus, long before a city called Byzantium was founded on its shores by Greek adventurers. This was in the 6th century before Christ. In 513 B. C. the Persian monarch Darius 2d crossed the Bc-sphorus, at the point where Robert College now stands, and for a brief period he con­ trolled the place. After its Roman occupancy, A. D. 325, by Constantine the Great, its name was chang-ed to Constantinople, in his honor, and the city became the center of Greek civilization in the East, and in 330 it was made the capital of the Byzantine or Eastern Empire. For over a thousand years it was subjected to the attacks of hostile nations; three times it fell, in 1203 and 1204 to the armies of the Crusaders, in 1453 to the conquering Turks, led by Mohammed 2d. That year, 1453, is one of the chief dates in European history. The capture of the city sent as fugitives to Western Europe hun­ dreds of Greek scholars, who carried wtih them priceless manuscripts of the Greek classics, which were let loose and in this way gave new impetus to the revival of learn­ ing. The Franks, a group of peoples dwelling in the 4th century in Gaul, what was later France, and north of the Main what is now Germany, ranging as far as the shores of the North Sea.

He :was the son of Childerick 1st, son of Meroveus, ·and in 482 at the age of 15, succeeded his father on the throne. Clovis was very ambitic-us, which fact led him into war. When a mere youth he attacked with his army the Roman general Syagrius and completely vanquished him at Soissons, which he afterward made his home. He is said, also, to have conquered the whole of Belgica ( modern Belgium) , of which Rheims was the capital. His wife was a Christian Princess of Burgundy. She greatly desired the conversion of the King, but he remained a pagan until the close of his successful war with the Alemanne, when in fulfilment of a vow, he was baptized at Rheims. This was an important event to the Orthodox Christians of Western Europe, whc afterwards looked to him to support them against the Arians. After the conquest of the Visigoths, the kingdom of Clovis extended to the Pyrenees. He later became King of all the Frankish tribes and was the founder of the Frankish monarchy. Roland, a celebrated hero of French romances of chiv-alry, was the nephew of Char­ lemagne, in whose army he fought against the Saracens in S1>ain. When the army crossed the Pyrenees. into France, Roland remained behind with the rear guard and at Roncesvalles Pass, was set upon by the Saracens, defeated and wounded and ·died. His friend,· Oliver, besought him in the early stages of the battle to blow a blast upon his horn .and ,bring the forces of Charlemagne to his aid, but he refused and only with his last breath, did he sound the call. Charlemagne heard it, turned back and over­ threw the Saracens. The ''Song of Roland/! in which this story is told. dates from the 11th century, and ranks as a masterpiece, and it was translated into English, German, Italian, Norse and other languages, and formed the basis of many tales.

Cambray, a fortifie<[ town of France. in the department of Nord. situated at the head of navigation on the right bank of the Scheidt, 32 miles south of Lille. It is well built, contains a large number of ancient gabled houses and it is surrounded by strong walls, flanked with round towers. It is first mentioned in the Antionine Itinerary in the 5th century, it was the capital of the Frankish King Regnachar. Fortified by Charlemagne, it was captured and pillaged ,by the Normans in 870. and unsuccessfully besieged by the Hungarians in 953, and so passed to the last Duke of Burgundy. The principal building is the Cathedral of St. Sepulchre, occupying the site of an earlier structure which was greatly damaged during the French Revolution and suffered still more severely from a conflagration in 1859. Portions of the archiepiscopal palace and the convent of the Benedictines of the Renaissance period now remain. and it is associated with the name of the great French ecclesiastic and moralist, Francois Fenelon ( or Lamotte), Archbishop of Cambray, French prelate and author (1651-1715), a monumental statue of whom (by David) stood in the -portal of the cathedral before the destructive Germans captured the town in 1918, but the tomb in which he was buried was broken open in the Napoleonic Wars of 1793 and his coffin melted into bullets and so not desecrated. Fenelon is chiefly remembered by the beauty of his character. his tender and mystic devotion and the charm o.f his style as a writer. He wrote one of the most famous novels of the 18th century, "The Telemaque'~ or Adventures of Telemachus, "an account of the oldest son of Ulysses, in his wanderings in search of his father and his final settlement in Chalcis," and his (Fenelon~s) appointment to the See of Poitiers, which had been contemplated by the King, and the responsible position of preceptor of the Dauphins, "nature-passion'' son, the young Duke of Burgundy. This was the work especially of his friend, the Due de Beaurilliers, who in 1689, was appointed governor of the royal grandson and thus finely· accomplished.

Lyons is strongly fortified and a leading industrial and commercial center and an important railway and waterway junction. Population in 1912, 250,800. (Enc. Brit., Vol. 15, pp. 110-112.) Marseilles, capital of Bouches-du-Rhone, is the leading port in the Mediterranean, a coaling station and. the second city of the country. The fishing industry, oil and sugar refining. chemicals and soap making are its chief industries; its exports are wine, fruits, grain. cotton, wool, silk, sugar, ·metals and petroleum products. Despite its antiq­ uity, it has no ancient monuments. Of the oldest structures the most interesting is th~ Church of St. Victor, with its 11th century crypt of the abbot, and the celebrated Notre Dame de la Garde of 1214, the steeple of which, surmounted by a gilded statue of the Virgin, 30 feet high, rises 150 feet above the summit hill on which it stands, command­ ing a view of the port and town as well as the surrounding mountains and the neighbor­ ing sea. Originally, perhaps settled by the Phoenicians, the city owes its historical foundation to a Greek colony of Phocaeans ( 600 B. C.). Having espoused the cause of Pompey, it was besieged and captured by Caesar, B. C. 49, and under Roman domination was famous alike for its commerce and its culture. Under Francis 1st it was vainly besie~ed by the Bourbons with the imperial forces in 1524 and long refused to acknowl­ edge Henry 4th. Semi-independent through the Middle Ages, it was deprived of many of its privileges as a free port by Louis 14th in 1660. But since then, in 1815, a canal connecting it with the Rhone River, 1making it the chief port of the Rhone Valley coming down to its own, its property was assessed and has made it the center of numerous lines of steamers and immense traffic by sea and land. Population in 1912, 491,161. (Enc. Brit., Vol. 15, pp_ 571-573; p. 16 in Book.) Le Mans, capital of Department of Sarthe, 118 miles southwest of Paris, on elevation near confluence of Sarthe and Huisne Rivers, connected by 4 bridges. The Romans surrounded it with walls in the 3d century. The principal building is the cathedral, founded by St. Julian in the 4th century and to whom it is dedicated, and it contains the tomb of Berengaria, Queen of Richard, Coeur-de-Lion. The courtship of ·Maine was made hereditary by Hugh Capet in the 10th century. It was seized by Wm. the Con­ queror. but his son Robert was unable to hold it. Having chosen the side of Richard, Coeur-de-Lion, it was taken by Philip Augustus. recaptured by John and afterward added to the widow of Richard. It was next held by Margaret, wife of St.. Louis, who gave it to his brother Charles of Anjou. It was five times besieged during the 100 Year War and devastated by the Huguenots in 1562. It is the birthplace of Henry 2d of England and J-ohn the Good, King of France. Population in 1912, 63,272. (Enc. Brit., Vol. 15, p. 497.) Bordeaux, Department Gerone, on its river bank, 60 miles from its mouth in the midst of the plain comprising the district of Medoc, noted for its red wines. is one of the finest and wealthiest commercial cities of France. Along with Guienne it belonged to the English Kings for nearly 300 years (1154-1452) and was for a time the seat of the brilliant court of the Black Prince, whose son Richard was born there. During the Reign of Terror the city suffered severely, but an extensive commerce was gradually developed between its merchants and their subjects in England; London, Hull, Exeter, Dartmouth, Bristol and Chester being the principal ports of trade. Ship building is the leading industry, as vessels of 800 tons can come up to the city, which has a spacious harbor and it is connected by rail of only 30 miles with La Teste du Buch, on nearer southeast coast, and its native manufacturers and exports of wines~ brandy, liquors, fruits, etc., are immense. 31 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

"WHERE POPPIES BLOOM."

JULIAN T. BABER.-ln the Book Review recently "'L. L. G.'~ asked for the author and the complete poem "Where Poppies Bloom.~, In reply would say that the poem was written by me while I was in the service. The complete poem is as follows: In Northern France where crimson poppies bloom, And suffering marks the pathway of the Hun, The evening shadow lengthen and the gloom Begins to settle with the fading sun. Another day has closed; the night birds croon; The stars soon find their places overhead, And o~er the hilltop looms the rising moon To cast its silvery mantle on the dead. The shell-torn plains are dotted here and there With slabs which stand like sentinels apace,. Atop each m-artyr~s grave a wooden Croix de Guerre Bestowed by death to mark his resting place. Save for the boom of guns-their thunder deep­ No sound disturbs the stillness of the night; The shifting clouds across the heavens sweep Transparent in their hues of pearly white. . And soon the dawn; the sun begins to peep Above the eastern hills. The guns still boom While 'neath the sod unchanted heroes sleep In Flanders where the crimson poppies bloom.

Huguenots of France Suffered for their Faith and DriTen into Exile, by Re,·ocation of E diet of Nantes, 1685. 'Tihe Huguenots were the Puritans of France in the 16th and 17th centuries. The name ( applied as an odium) was first used about 1555, and probably was derived from the French diminutive of Hugon or Hugo (Herman, Jesuit, Latin poet (1588-1629-]). as an heretic, sectarian, or Jesuit, opposed to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Or a Freneh Protestant of the period of the religious wars in France in the 16th century, first organized at La Rochelle and Montauban,. and Beamunder, the Duke of Rohan and his brother Soubise, and the Calvanistic French reformers-"as the repub­ lic of the Reformed Churches of France and Beam/~ -and first established as their strong­ hold at Meaux, Poitiers and Augers in 1555, and finally spread all over France in 1561, and 'it is estimated they had 2,500 churches in various places, with 400,000 adherents. "The Pope Huguenot,'~ a title bestowed upon Philippe de Mornay, a distinguished French nobleman (1549-1623) and an able supporter of the Protestant cause, on account of the ability of his arguments and the weight of his personal influence in behalf ·of the re­ formed religion. The Huguenots suffered severely in the reigns of Francis 1st and his immediate successors and after 1562 were frequently involved in war, under the leadership of such men as Admiral Coligny and King Henry of Navarre, afterwards Henry 4th of France, who espoused their cause. Coligny and from 20,000 to 30,000 others fell in the massacre of St. Bartholomew, Aug. 24, 1572. In spite of all this premeditated destruction of life and property they continued numerous and powerful and the Edict of Nantes, issued in 1589, by Henry 4th, gave them full political and civil rights. But their power was broken after the surrender of La Rochelle and the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis 14th, in 1685 and hundreds of thousands of Huguenots went into exile, going to Holland, Prussia, Switzerland, England, Scotland and America . . La Rochelle, capital of Charente Inferieure, is an important fortified ·seaport on the Atlantic coast and Bay of Biscay, 296 miles by rail southwest of Paris. The finest building is the Hotel de Ville (1486-1607) in the Renaissance style, but there are also a cathedral and an episcopal palace of mediaeval aspect. I.n 1628, the town, a Huguenot 33 SUPPLlTMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. stronghold, afforded stubborn resistance to the, Royalist army commanded by ~ichelieu in person, but were overpowered and defeated and co·mpelled to capitulate. It is_ a coal­ ing station with ship building and factories for cotton yarns, glass, sugar refining and distilling. After the revocation o.f the Edict of Nantes, 1685, it was fro1:1 h~re that nearly 3,000 of its inhabitants emigrated to Arcadia in Canada. Population In 1912, 36,124. _ _ _ Montauban, capital of Tarn-et-Garonne, on the Tarn anrdeaux, has manufactures of textiles and a large trade in wine, grain and agricultural produce and corn dressers. It was one of the strongholds of the Huguenots (1621-1629) and even now half of its inhabitants are still Protestants and it possesses a Protestant Theological College, the only one in France. Montauban was only a village in the time of the Romans. In the 8th century a monastery was founded there by the Benedictines, who exercised lordship over the neighboring population. It was twice besieged by Simon de Mc·ntfort in the Albigensian Wars and was sacked in 1207. It was the headquarters of the Huguenots in 1621, and was vainly besieged by Louis 18th fo:r 86 days, and did not submit until after the fall of La Rochelle in 1629, when its fortifications were destroyed by Richelieu. In 1560, the bishops and magistrates had em,braced Protestantism, ex­ pelled the monks and demolished the cathedral. Population in 1912, 30,506. (Enc. Brit., Vol. 16, p. 778.) Toulouse, capital of Haute Garo·nne Department, on the Garonne, spanned by 3 bridges, 478 miles south of Paris, in the fertile plain of Languedoc, and has many in­ dustries and manufactories, ancient and historical structures and handsome residences, churches, colleges, cathedral, etc., second only to that of Paris. It was the scene of the Huguenot massacres in 1562 and 1572, as well as the Albigensian persecutions. Under Francis 1st it began to persecute heretics, as they were called, and in 1618 rendered itself notorious ·by burning the Philosopher Vanini. In its earliest history it was mixed up at times with the Frankish history of Clovis, Dagobert, Caribert, Charles Martel, Charlemagne to the Counts of Toulouse, the greatest lords of Southern France. In the south of the city lies the palis de justice, near which is the ancient Church of the Inquisition of 1255, which led to "French Revolution'' of 1557-1573. Population in 1912, 149,841.

France's De,·astations in German In,·asions of ,Yorld ,Yar ( Continued irom })p. 296-220 of First Book). WAR LOSSES OF FRANCE WERE APPALLING. Fifty-Seven Per Cent. of Her Men Under .J.Z Years of A.ge Were Killed or Wounded. (By The Associated Press.) Paris, May 21.-What is perhaps the first concise statement of France's war losses has just been made by Captain Andre Tardieu: During the five years of the war, 8,000,000 men were mobilized, of whom 1,400,000 were killed, 800,000 maimed, and 300,000 wounded. France thus lost 57 per cent. of her men under thirty-two years of age. Six hundred thousand houses were destroyed, 75,000,000 acres of arable land laid waste, and 3,000 miles of railroad .and 25,000 miles of highways destroyed. One-third of France's ships were sunk by German submarines. · RHEIMS WAS FEARFULLY REDUCED IN POPULATION. Rheims, France_-Rheims, which had a population of 115,178 before the war, now has only 8,458 inhabitants-3,987 men, 3,258 women and 1,213 children. The "martyr city~' was shelled by the Germans on 1..051 days and over 1.000 persons were killed, fncluding some 300 women and 100 children. The cathedral was struck by 287 shells up to March 21, 1918. .After that date no record was kept. April 24, 1917, was the worst day of the war for Rheims. FAMOUS LIBRARY BURNED. Berlin, May 2.-The Town Hall at Lille, France, has !been burned. Tib.e librarian, a French woman, selected the most valuable books of the famous library there and handed them to German soldiers, who formed a chain to remove them from the building. The Lille fire department was unable to save the Town Hall, but retarded the spread­ ing of the flames to neighboring buildings.

Our Euro1,ean Ancestry in Italy and France, with Rheims and Descri1►tion and Destruc­ tion oi its Great Cathedral in Late World War. The Aryan branch is that division to which we ourselves belong. It includes nearly all the present and past nations of Europe, the Greeks, Latins, Teutons, Celts and Slavonians, of the Indo-European speaking nations. A fine and beloved tradition of the people of Europe bas established that several prominent families which have been numbered among their ancestors, constitute a living tie and link between the present an.d the past, particularly Antenor the Trojan, who established himself in Italy at Patavium or Padua, where he founded the Nation of the Heneti or Franks in Venetia, near Venice, in northern Italy. The Franks soon increased their power to such an extent that they fin-ally conquered all Germany and Gaul as far as the Pyrenees and beyond. Pharamond is said to be of the 37th generation in descent from Antenor. King of the Cim bri, who was a Trojan. He began to reign over the Franks in Gaul about 420 A. D. Padua, the ancient Patavium, was the 'birthplace of Livy, Roman historian, 59 B. C. and an important commercial center on the Adriatic Sea in northern Italy. In Padua, the Austro-Germans have recently, in World War of 1918, ruthlessly destroyed the ,supposed tomb of Antenor the Trojan and other ancient relics, among their barbarian acts, as we!l as the tom.bs in the rock and sepulchers of the early Kings. Population of Padiana in 1912 was 82,281. (See p. 143 of First Book.) Also Aeneas finally settled in southern Italy at Lavinium, where he founded the Kingdom of Alba, which led to the foundation of Rome on the Tiber. Aeneas md. Lavina, the dau. of Latinus, and then succeeded him in the sovereignty. The colony on 35 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. the Tiber was settled nearly 13 centuries B. C., and the inhabitants of ·Latium, it is proven were the immediate ancestors of th~ Romans, for after Aeneas there was a suc­ cession of Kings to the time of Numitor, the grandfather of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. ( See p. 202 of First Book.) And so in Gaul or France (in more modern times, Julius Caesar, in 58 B. C., con­ quered Gaul and became their Emperor; under Roman domination for nearly 400 years), where numerous localities preserve landmarks and aspects representing all the epochs­ Alise, the Alesia of Caesar, where scientific. excavations have recently, so to speak, made a Gallo-Roman city live again, Autun, with its Roman ruins and relics, Flavigny, the old town of medieval aspect, Vezelay, wi.th its Romanesque church, every way made famous the Abbey of Cluny, Lyons, the old capital of Celtic Gaul, founded by the Greeks in 560 B. C., Dijon, the historical city, dating from the Renaissance, to the Palace of the great Dukes of Burgundy, and what Saint Denis was for the Kings of France, a burial place since the times of Dagobert, 638 A. D.; and Poitiers, once a capital and auxiliary to Paris, the residence of Clovis, is full of interest and one of the richest in old monuments, and only rivalled by Marseilles (cap Bouches-du-Rhone). which owes its historical foundation to a Greek colony of Phocaeans, 600 B. C.; and Nimes (cap Gard), with its Roman antiquities, the amphitheater and Corinthian temples even now well preserved; and so Rouen ( cap Seine-Inferieure), with its great Cathedral, dating from from the 13th century, the finest in Europe; and Rennes, with its Breton, Celtic, Irish­ Welsh or Scotch Gaelic collections, culture and treasures in history of the Middle Ages. Rheims, in the Marne District, 81- miles northeast of Paris,. on the right bank of the Vesle, a tributary to the Aisne and on the canal that connects the Aisne with the Marne. It is a strongly fortified town and an important railway center. It is also the head­ quarters for the production of champagne. To the south and west rise the ''Montagne de Rheims/' and the vine-clad hills, where the wine is grown, which constitutes the chief object of the industry and commerce of the town. It also lies in a sheep feeding distri-ct, hence its large manufacture of woolens, especially merino and mixed silk and wool fa:brics, is carried on to great extent. The oldest monument in Rheims is the Porta Marus (Mars Gate), one of the old Roman gates to the city, a triumphal arch 108 feet long by 43 in height, erected by the Reme ( 455-553 A. D.) in honor of Caesar and Augustus, when Agrippa made the great roads terminating at the town. But by far the most interesting ,architectural feature of the town is the Cathedral of Notre Dame. where the Kings of France used to be crowned. It replaced the Romanesque Church of St. Remy or Remigius (a Christian saint, 1160-1180 A. D.L burned in 1211. which had been built on the site of the basilica, where Clovis, after his victory at Soissons ( 486) was baptized at Rheims in 496, by St. Remigius. The whole cathedral, with the ex­ ception of the facade, was completed in 1231, •but has had various alterations. The present facade was trected in the 14th century after 13th century designs, the nave having in the meantime been lengthened to afford room for the vast crowds that attend the coronations. This facade is the finest portion of the building and one of the most perfect masterpieces of the Middle Ages. The four towers which flank the transepts were 267 feet high, that on the south above the choir. 59 feet higher, contains two great bells, one (of 1570) weighs 11 tons. T.he interior of the cathedral is 455 feet long, 98 . feet wide in the nave and 125 feet in the center. The rose window over the main l)Ortal and the "gallery of the Kingsn beneath, are of rare magnificence, with statues of Clovis, Charlem•agne and his father, Pepin the Short. T,he left transept contains a fine organ in flamboyant Gothic, with 3,516 pipes and 53 stops. The choir clock is or­ namented with curious mechanical devices. In the right transept are two great Gobelins tapestries executed after Raphaers designs, and dealing with the life of St. Paul and others equally noted, of the life of Christ. Several paintings by Titian, Tintoretta, Nicholas, Poussin and others, and the carved woodwork and railings of the choir, and the figure st•ained-glass windows and the statuettes, both within and without, render this and the Archiepiscopal Palace alongside, one of the finest specimens of Gothic architecture in Europe. (Population, 113,372, in 1912.) Rheims Cathedral was shamefully damaged and city and population fearfully reduced in late war by the vandalized Germans. With a population of 115,178 before the war, it has now only 8,458-3,987 being men, 3,258 women and i,.213 children. The "martyr city" was shelled by the barbarous Germans 1,051 days and over 1,000 were killed, includ­ ing 300 women and 100 children. The cathedral was struck by 287 shells up to Mar. 21, 1918; after that no record was kept. Apr. 24, 1917, was the most destructive day for Rheims and the cathedral.. 36 The Cathedral of Rh.eirns.

Latium in Italy (Continued irom l)• 201 of First Book). REAL ESTATE IN LATIUM. The administration of the Italian Royal House will rent or sell the estate, with copious woods, of Castel Porziano, which reaches from Ostia and the Tiber to Lauren­ tum, along the sea. It is a domain rich in classical memories, and also in its forests, in game, goats, deer, wild boars. Laurentum is the most ancient of Latian cities, the town of King Latinus. The wood of Laurentum, bearing its old name of Silva Lg,uren­ tina, still stands. The whole district is of sort of commentary on and memorial of the last six books of the Aeneid. The site of Aeneas·s city of Lavinium, mother of Alba and ~andmother of Rome, is supposed to be on the plateau now occupied by the village of Pratica, sixteen miles from Rome. At Torre di Paterno, a farm of the King of Italy, northwest of Pratica and near the sea, most scholars place the site of Lauren­ t um, Lavinia's "ho·me town.". There is a Latin inscription set up by that accomplished scholar and antiquarian, Gregory XVI: "Laurentum, Cradle of the City of Rome." Of the more than fifty famous ancient nations of Latium, of those once thriving City States, Fidenae, Cures, King Numa's home, Gabii, Veii, Antemnae, once crowned with towers, few traces are left. Even in Lucan's time Veii and Gabii were but ruins. Surely, here is a region where the ·philosophic Virgilian sportsman can feel the pathos of mortal things. And there is good sport, too, as there was in the days when :euny the Younger had a villa near the shore. It is amusing to remember that this passionate pessimist and extoller of suicide was a prosperous bourgeois, one of the many gentlemen from whom the poet Martial condescended to borrow money. Virgil compares the pug­ nacious Mazentius~ encircled by his foes, to a Laurentine boar chased into the nets by the hounds. The worthy, comfortable dilettante and would-be orator, Pliny the Younger, hunted the wild ,boars of the Laurentum Wood in a literary and restful spirit. In a letter to a friend he speaks of himself as "that hero whom you know." The hero has "taken three boars, and the fattest in the forest. 'Eh, what! Pliny?' you will say. Yes; Pliny himself. But I managed everything so as not to break with my ordinary tastes and my love of repose. I sat quietly near the nets, and had not a pike or a spear, but the wherewithal to write." Not thus does Victor Emmanuel III hunt the Laurentian boars, abundant still, when he gets a chance to take a holiday in Latium. But a demo­ cratic King is a workingman. Economy is the necessity of the time. Here is the chance for so-me rich Virgilian hunter. Divers Roman swells and celebrities used to come down to this region, so near to Rome, for an outing. Scipio and Laelius are said to have played along these shores, far from a healthful summer resort at present, it must be admitted. The orator Horten­ sius had a country place somewhere near Laurentum; ibut it is Virgirs country. At Castel Fusano, on the northwestern edge of the Laurentian Wood. the Ninth Book of the Aeneid. the famous story of Nisus and Euryalus, must beeome almost visible. There , the cruel Volscians, marching from Laurentum to reinforce Turnus, must have caught sight of the two unfortunate friends. There, according to that charming guide, Mr. Gaston Boissier, the story should be read. He speaks of the pleasure of him who "has the good fortune to read this admirable narrative at Castel Fusano itself; that is, in the place that inspired it. I can imagine none in the world where the soul could better yield itself up to this grand poet. In our bustling towns it is very difficult to abstract one·s self from the present; it seizes on us and holds us fast on every side. At Castel Fusano nothing draws us away from the memories of antiquity. In order to belong quite entirely to Virgil I would rather not have before my eyes even the stern palace of the Chigi, as much like a fortress as a country house. I would place myself opposite the avenue, paved with the slabs of the Via Severiana and leading to the sea, beneath the shade of those great parasol pines, the most beautiful found in the Roman Campagna. * * * Virgil's verses may be understood and enjoyed everywhere; but it seems to me that in this solitude and this great silence, in the midst o·f this pine park sur­ rounded by a desert, and among all these relics of the hoary past one finds in them one charm more.'' A fine country for a Virgilian, a sportsman, excavator, forester, reclaimer.

Worms, in Hesse, situated on the bank of the Rhine, 25 miles south of Mainz, is one of the oldest cities in Germany. Drusus is said to have erected a fort on the site of the town in 14 B. C. In it is laid the scene of the Nibelungen (Frankish) Lied. (See p. 22 of Book.) It was occupied by the Romans, destroyed by Attila and afterwards re­ built by Clovis. It was frequently the residence of Charlemagne and his Carlovingian suc­ cessors and was erected into a free imperial city by the Emperor Henry 5th. The most famous diet held there was that in 1521, at which Martin Luther defended himself before Cha_rles 5th, and four years later it became Protestant. The great leader of the German Reformation died Feb. 18, 1546, aged 63. The massive Romanesque cathedral, with two cupolas and four towers, was founded in the 8th century, rebuilt in the 11th and 12th and carefully restored in the last quarter of the 19.th century.. The synagogue of the 11th century is one of the oldest in Germany. The town house was restored in 1885. Its leading resource is wine growing, as it has some famous vintages, but its general aspect is modern and commercial as it possesses a. river harbor and carries on some manu­ facturing trade by water, and patent leather, cloth machinery, slates, chickory, chemicals and tobacco are produced. In its prosperous days it is estimated to have had 50,000 to 75,000 inhabitants. Population in 1912, 43,841. ( Enc. Brit., Vol. 24, p. 684.) The Cologne Cathedral, in Rhenish Prussia, on the Rhine, a cruciform basilica, is the grandest and most impressive Gothic church in the world. It was begun in 1248 but not finished until 1880. It has two immense and beautiful spires, 512 feet high and nearly the whole outside is covered with lovely architectural ornamentation and sculp­ tures. Inside the immense building it is wonderfully beautiful and imposing brilliancy, light comes through great stained glass windows on either side and from others also charmingly colored high up near the arches of the roof. There _is a great deal _to be seen in the eight chapels and other portio~s of this church. In the requary are kept the '~three Kings of Cologne/' which are believed to be the bones of the Magi, who came to do reverence to the Infant Jesus. These were taken from .Jerusalem by the Empress Helena and presented to the Cathedral by the Emperor Barbarossa in 1164. We may look through some open work in the sarcophagus and see the three heads or skulls of the Kings, each wearing a golden crown. Cologne and perfumery, printing, weaving with various manufactures of commerce are carried on in the town. Population in 1912, 428,722. High up on projecting bluffs and occasionally on the very mountain tops stand the ruins of great castles of the olden time. Some of these consist of ·but a few storm-bat­ tered towers and walls, while others which have ,successfully defied man, time and storm, or have been enlarged and fortified, are still in such good condition as to be inhabited or occupied. These were the castles and strongholds of the feudal barons and robber chiefs of history, song and legend, and they give to the natural beauties of the historic Rhine, a.t every turn a charm which is not possessed by any other river, and songs that live like "The Watch on the Rhine" and "Sweet Bingen on the Rhine." Jerusalem, in Palestine, Asia, is the ancient capital of Palestine, still regarded by the Jews as their sacred city and as a holy city by ,both Christians and Mohammedans. It is the scene of the most important events described in· the Bible. The city stands on a rocky plateau at an elevation of 2,500 feet above the sea.

In 1160, Moray was occupied by foreign settlers, among whom, 'besides Norman barons were Flemings, a race fitted to civilize a new country by their industry. It is to this settlement that the permanent subjection of Moray to the Scottish Kings, and perhaps the peculiar dialect and character of that part of Scotland is due. (Enc. Brit., 9th Ed., Vol. 21, p. 483.) There were many Bucks settled in this part of Scotland at Bucksburn and other places after the great fire in London (1666), landing at Fairport or Buckhaven, on the coast of Fife, Scotland, between 1160 to 1666, and moving inward. ( See Buck Hist., PP~ 111-112.) The Earl or Lord of Buchan sent Washington a box made from the oak that shel­ tered the great Wm. Wallace after the battle of Falkirk, Scotland (1300) and he also took shelter at Gramis Castle. Charles 2d also arrived on coast of Scotland in 1650,. but was compelled to take the covenant before landing.

In 1308, Rhodes was granted by the Emperor Emanuel to the Knights of St. John, who soo·n after resisted a siege by the Sultan Othman. They strengthened the natural advantages of the place by skilful fortifications, and by discipline and equipments made themselves nearly a match for the superior numbers of the Turks. The conquerors of Rhodes, after the defeat of Othman and the Ottoman Empire, were left in peaceful possession of the fair island home they had won. During the next 170 years no bark of the Moslem. no heel of the invader defiled their soil. The fame of this conquest, ;combined with the beauty and fertility of the land itself, and its commercial facilities, caused not only an immediate increase to the reputation of the order. but gave a vast accession to its members. Every court in Europe sent its soldiers of fortune to enlist under the banner of Vallaret, the grand master. The conquest of Rhodes was no easy task. It was to be wrested from the Saracen Corsaris, who would prey on its com­ merce and enslave their mariners, and should be transferred to the custody of an order dedicated to the service of the Cross and to the defence of Christendom. Their grand master, the aged Caretto, the last surviving captain in the former siege by the Turks had died in the very year Solyman's accession to the throne, and a new chief, Villiers de Lisle Adam, had been elected to his place, Jan. 31, 1521. Equal to their former great leader, Pierre D~Aubusson, in soldiery, experience, personal courage and honest devotion to duty and superior to him in piety and prudence. Leslie d'Adams proved himself to be one raised up by a kind providence for this great emergency, and to be worthy of the confidence of his illustrious brotherhood, as a chief well fitted to direct their councils and destinies in this their day of renewed trial and disaster. It was evident to the Knights that an attack would follow the triumph of Islam, but it was not until 1480 that the long dreaded descent on Rhodes took place. Fortunately for the order, Peter d~Aubusson was grand master, and the skilfully planned attack of the three renegades was valorously repulsed in the succeeding battles, the greatest in the history of the order. 39 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

The fight was renewed by Paca Mustapha, day after day. Both parties seemed equally determined. Fire ancl sword did their sanguinary work. Man contended with man. And the worse and weaker soldier fell a victim to the poignard of his adversary. The Turks at last, overpowered by the bullets, grenades, stones and liquid fire of their opponents, turned their backs and fled. This fearful encounter cost Solyman 3,00() men. The Sea Kings were victorious. Solyman again prepared a mighty army gathered from the numerous tributary nations of his empire. He mustered 160,000 fighting men and 60,000 (impressed) Hungarian peasants for servile work, as laborers in the trenches. He paid the utmost attention to his train of artillery and collected 66 guns of various sizes and caliber. His fleet and transports made up a fighting force of 400 vessels of all kinds. The Sea Kings were fully aware of the true position of affairs. They well knew the increased power and dominion of their hereditary foem.an, which now pressed them on every side. The whole month of July was devoted to strictly siege operations, in making intrench­ ments, cutting ditches, erecting batteries for the cannon and constructing great mounds high and strong enough for the cannon to dominate over the walls and ramparts o-f the fortress. The fight was long and desperate, Mustapha placing himself at the head of 160,.000 gained for the second time the ascent made of a breach, and in spite of all the grenades and arrows of the besieged, reached the ramparts. They could not, however, hold their advantage. A company of English soldiers under the command of Sir John Buek (late admiral of the fleet) , rushed from the platform of the rampart and supported by Prejan, the Grand Prior of St. Giles, and by the gallant German Knight, Christopher Valdner, and their squires and men-at-arms, made so furious a charge, that the Turks fled pa.nic­ stricken from the post. Mustapha, more brave as a soldier than successful as a commander, exherted him­ self to the utmost. He threw himself into the midst of the melee, slew a Knight with his own sword, and if the soldiers bad equalled their leader in spirit and determination, the result of the conflict might have been different. The success of the English Knights was dearly purchased. Sir John Buck,. Knight, Christc·pher Valdner and other brave commanders were numbered among the dead. The Pasha Achmet was equally unsuccessful. The troops selected for the assault found a large body of Spaniards awaiting them, and were met with a murderous fire from the large guns of the fortress,. under which they reeled and fled to the cover of their trenches. The loss of the Turks in these combined attacks exceeded 3,000 soldiers on this 17th day of Sept., 1521 A. D. The heroic ff Aubusson recovered from his wounds, restored the shattered fortifica­ tions and strengthened them, and nearly a year had passed away before the Sultan Solyman determined to crush the Knights, who had just elected Lisle d'Adams as their chief. This last and most famous siege of Rhodes took place in 1522, when "Mahommed~s galleys come-the sentinel Rang from his steeple tow~r the 'larum belU: (Fober·s "Knights of St. John.")

Leipzig- Battle lllonument, with Illustration (Continued fro1n p. 178 of First Book). LEIPZIG BATTLE MONUMENT. Dedicated Upon 100th Anniversar,y of Battle. The monument commemorating the battle of Leipzig, fought and won by the allies on Oct. 18, 1813, against Napoleon, was unveiled by Emperor William on the hundredth anniversary of that· day. The monument is in Thornberg, a suburb of Leipzig, and is a massive tower-like structure about 300 feet in height. It is built on a walled mound of earth eighty feet high, with a reservoir and fountain in front of it. The approach, which is not yet finished, will be along a covered way that completely circles the rear of the structure. The money for the monument was collected by popular subscription through patriotic societies. The work on the monument was begun in 1898. It is natural that the Germans should lay great store upon the battle of Leipzig, for it was this -battle which broke the power of Napoleon and set Germany free. The collapse of Napoleon's Russian expedition, in which he lost the greater part of his army, 2"ave Prussia its chance, and the war of liberation commenced. ~ In May, 1813, Napoleon, having reconstructed his army, had 226,000 men under his command. This was far mo·re than the Prussians, but that was all to be changed during the struggles. of this stirring year. The troops of the Czar of Russia and the King of Prussia, under the command of Wittgenstein, made no headway whatever against Napoleon and fought what amounted to a

One more victory Napoleon was to seize from fate--that of Dresden in August. That was followed by the defeat of one of his generals, Vandamme, at Kulm. · Then came the final stroke in favor of Prussia,. the appointment of Blucher to the command of its army. He was in his seventy.. first year, a great gambler, much given to drink, but he was a born so·ldier, with abundant enthusiasm, who well deserved his popular nick­ name of ''Forward.~· It was the determination of Blucher and Bernadotte, Napoleon's old general and now an enemy, to march upon Leipzig, which made that city the center of the final struggle. Here a great battle took place on October 16-18. The allied army­ Prussians, Russians, Swedes and a few British troops-numbered 300,000 men, and Napoleon had but 150,000 to oppose. The allies were victors, although Napoleon after­ ward declared to one of his generals that it was due to the supply of cannon balls run­ ning low. "If I had then had 30,000 rounds I should today be the master of the world," he said. Yet the battle of Leipzig was only half a victory in that the French army was left upon the 1battlefield. We all recall the picture of Napoleon with his tent pitched -in the midst of his guards' bivouac, spending a wakeful night. This he did on the night of the 17th also, seizing but a few minutes' sleep, sitting upright on a peasant7s chair by the bivouac fire. · At an early hour in the morning of the 18th a chance shot struck the embers of the fire, scattering the crowd and waking the Emperor. He continued at once to .dictate orders to his secretary. · After three days' fighting the battle of Leipzig was lost and won on Oct. 18, 1813. And,. although the battle was not a great victory in the way that Waterloo was, it marked the ,breakup of the Napoleonic regime. From thence onward the emperor had no army until his exile in Elba, and the army that he raised that was.crushed at Water­ loo was nothing comparable to the one that he lost at Leipzig. That battle of Leipzig gave Prussia once again its freedom and set it on the path which culminated in the Franco-Prussian War of our time and the present positi-on of the German Federation under Emperor William. -

Down into the little valley we poured, right into the face of the English fire, and shouting all the time, ''Give them the bayonet!'' The batteries hurled their grape-shot point blank upon us. The English held the road from Quarter Bras to Brussels and were stationed from Mount St. Jean to the entrance of the forest of Soignes,. Hougoumont, and La Haye, by the Germans and Wissenfels, and Papelette farmsteads in front, all garrisoned; and the ravine and hills and plain below, where we were stationed at great disadvantage, as from the recent heavy rains and softness of the ground, we could not bring our artillery to bear.

In the early summer of 1066, Wm. 1st, the Conquero·r, gathered his vassals and allies from Flanders, Ponthiew, Brittany, Sicily (the Island of Sicily had been settled by the Flemish) and all the other regions whither the Norman blood or Norman and Flemish spirit had penetrated, to sail for the conquest of England. Wm. the Conqueror, son o-f Robert, Duke of Normandy, claiming that the crown was his by the will of Edward the Confessor, crossed to England and gained "Dei gratis~~ (by the Grace of God) the Kingdom in the decisive battle o·f Senlac or Hastings, Oct. 14, 1066, on Battle Hill, now Battle Abbey, the birthplace of English Hi-story; and shared through Matilda, dau. of Henry 1st of England and wife, Geoffrey of Anjou ( Plantaganet) and earlie:r intermarriages the English throne with Wm. the Conqueror, who md.

Gilbert de Gant, a Flemish noble, son of Baldwin 6th, Earl of Flanders and nephew of Wm. the Conqueror, led a large body of Flemish knights, under his uncle Wm. 1st. along with Wm. de Percy, a namesake of Normandy, and Baldwin a brother-in-law. Lieut. of the Marches, who fought at Hastings, and other followers, for which service he gave them 54 townships in several co-unties, principally York and Lincolnshire. This is the same Gant who so distinguished himself under Edgar Atheling, a protector at York, 1075. He died in the reign of Rufus the Red and his bravery descended to his son Walter in ruling the host. Henry 1st, fourth and youngest son of Wm. the 1st and Maltida. dau. of Baldwin 5th of Flanders, frequently employed large numbers of the Knights of Flanders to assist him to subdue the north and west country and in repelling the Scots and Welsh. On one occasion in 1111, he colonized a number of them in Pembroke and, later. in North­ umbria, as outposts for his safety, and a system of Norman Keeps was established for :protection, and he made two expeditions into Wales in 1114 and 1121, in which he con­ quered several Saxon chieftains and strongholds. Powys Castle was founded by Baldwin, Lieut. of the Marches, in 1108, to overawe the Welsh at Pembroke, and the castle of Gilbert de Care, 1st Lord of Pembroke, was there in the 14th century. Wm. de Percy appears to have been the Baronial Lord of Filey in the reign of Stephen or Henry 1st. Walter, son of Gilbert de Gant, Rudolphus and his son and Grocelius le Buck were joint founders of the famous Priory or Church of St. Mary at Birdlington (now Burlington on the coast) in Yorkshire, for which Henry, for their rela­ tionship and the love he bore them granted them a charter. (Dugdale.) Ralph de Nevil gave half a carucate of land for the Priory (about 50 acres) and Ralph, son of Ralph. gave the stone of his quarry towards it. Amaldus, so·n of Walter de Gant, was a patron of the Priory from 1291 to 1303 and presented it with large possessions. It appears in the "Bridlington Register" that the Buckes were in the 15th century proprietors of that part of Filey lordship which stands in the North Riding, Yorkshire. Their mansion house stood on the north side of the church, the site of which is yet shown by earthworks, and Elizabeth (wid.)

Soon after James lses accession to the throne in 1603, the Catholics and Protestants were each striving for the supremacy and about this time Puritanism had sprung up and crept into England through Wickliffe, the Latimers, Cranmer, Ridley and others, and was gaining a stronghold, but the "Hampton court church conference," repudiated the 1,000 Puritans "Millenary petition" for intolerance, and James' proclamation and rigid enforcement, Jan. 19, 1604, was very adverse to the Puritans, as they had expected a release from the galling ceremonials and church abuses now unbridled. Also one of the first acts of Charles 1st, in 1625, an act that raised a storm of indignation through­ out the country, was the imposition of a forced ioan without the grant of Parliament. Many, some high in authority refused to contribute and repudiated the assessment as unjust and despotic, but the "Privy Council" of Charles was supreme, and to avoid these high-handed measures and escape and get away, Winthrop had founded a colony in North America, 1606, and the Pilgrims had settled in New England in 1620, and at Jamestown, 1607, and along the coast were thriving English colonies, so- on the whole, there was every inducement for emigration for aggrieved and daring spirits to a new and free country or the oppressed and ambitious to exploit and know the world.

The Church of St. Mary (built 1443 to 1464) is one of the finest examples of pure Gothic in the kingdom. In the center ·Of the chapel is the splendid tomb of its fir·st Earl. One of the most inter­ esting places in Warwick is the hospital of the Earl of Leicester, founded in 1571. uone of the most picturesque examples c-f half-timbered buildings in England.'~ The area of the municipal and parliamentary borough is 5,512 acres. which has excellent orchards and market gardens and excels in honey, with some of the finest woodland in England. Population in 1881, 11,800. Norwich, capital of Norfolk Co.,. was formerly a British and Roman town, was burned by Sweyn, became the seat of the bishopric of East Anglia in 1094. The cathe­ dral, begun in 1096, is said to preserve its· Norman ·plan with less alteration than any other English cathedral. It received a colony of Flemish weavers in the 14th century and became an 'important center for eloth manufactures, and it was one of the lea.ding towns in England in the 17th century. The ancient walls ( of 1294 to 1342) _ some por­ tions of which remain, with their 12 gate houses ( the last demolished in 1808) were only 4 miles in circuit. Those narrow limits were long ago outgrown, for Evelyn writes in 1761, ''The suburbs are large, the prospects sweete, with other amenities, not omitting the flower gardens, in which all the inhabitants excel.~' Beneath the low, chalky heights of Mousehold Heath, once wooded. now heathery, lies antique Norwich.

Worcester, capital of Worcestershire, is situated on the eastern bank o.f the Severn, 26 miles from Birmingham, in the "Vale of Worcester," one of the finest situations in all England. The principal building and glory of the city is the cathedral, founded in 673, but through incursions, disasters and failures, remodelling it was not :finished until 1216. The building d.s crucifo·rm and without transept aisles. but has secondary tran­ septs to the choir. The tower is in the center and is 162 feet high. The old outer walls of the nave aisles, a part of the transept walls, some shafts and cloisters and the "'apsidal" crypt remain, of which there are only four examples in England. It contains the tombs of Sts. Oswald and Wulfstan (first builders), King John and Arthur, Prince of Wales, son of Henry 7th, who died in 1503. There are several ancient churches and a Commandery founded by St. Wulfstan in 1095, is one of the "rarest specimens of early house architecture in existence/' The hall contains an open timber roof of the time of Henry 8th, "a good bay window, a fine door, the projecting canopy of the dais, a music­ screen and gallery, and some fragments of stained class.~' The cathedral grammar schoo·l, founded by Henry 8th in 1541, occupies the refactory of the old monastery which he a boUshed, and as recently restored by the Christians has many architectural features. Its chief manufactures include rope· and fwine, tanneries for gloves, porcelain, railway carriages and signals, boat building, cider and berry sauces, vinegar and British wines. Population in 1912, 46,623. (Enc. Brit., Vol. 24, p. 667; and p. 169 in Book.) Exeter, in Devonshire, is one of the chief cities of western England which still re­ tains to a great extent its antique appearance. Considerable portions of the ancient walls remain. In 1068 Wm. the· Conqueror took it and founded the Castle of ''Rugemont," which was held for Matilda in 1137 by Baldwin of Redfers, and King Stephen took it after a siege of three months. later. But the principal object of interest is the cathedral7 begun in 1112 and dedicated in 1351. The other ancient buildings are the bishop~s palace of the 14th century and the Hall of the College of Vicars, incorporated in 1401. The noted "'Exeter Codex" given by Bishop Leofric, is preserved in the chapter house. The chief manufactures are paper, iron and brass, tanneries and breweries. Population in 1912, 47,185. (Enc.

Durham Cathedral and Castle, standing near the center of Duram City, 14 miles sc·uth of Newcastle, on their island promontory 80 freet above the ox-bow of the encircling river Wear, and surrounded below by the old city walls, and connected by 4 bridges, 2 on either side, form a picture which is in its way incomparable. The castle was erected~ by Wm. the Conqueror in 1072, across the neck of the island peninsula, so as to guard the church and monastery. Bishop Carileph's grand Norman church of 1093 still forms the main part of the cathedral buildings, with numerous additions at various times, of which, the Galilee or western chapel, which contains the remains of the Venerable Bede, of the Transitional -period, 1153-1195, the eastern transept of the "Nine Altars" containing the remains of St. Cuthbert, found in 1828, the early English, western towers, the central "Perpendicular'' tower and the perpendicular "Decorated" windows and a magnificent c·rgan built on the largest scale and fine tone for musical execution. The exterior, 507 feet long by 200 in extreme width, with central tower of 214 feet and two small ones each of 138 feet at west end and combines absolutely perfect proportion in all its original parts with a harmonious magnificence of detail in its massive columns, arches and stone groining, and presents the appearance of "rocky solidity and of ind~ terminate duration." (Enc. Brit., Vol. 7, p. 562.) The distant view of Lincoln Cathedral rising above the houses of the ancient city is very beautiful from here and the memory will supply many other pictures of cathedral­ crowned hilltops, among which is Bergamo-Siena. Durham need, however, fear no com­ parisons, either in England or in any other country. The great Norman pile could hold its own, too, among cathedrals on its own intrinsic merits, even without the en­ hanced effect it gains from its splendid position (see pp. 161 and 170 of Book). The bishc·ps of Durham, the famous old English city, were prince bishops and, the bishopric, richest in England, and this is no empty title, for does not an old chronicler say that "'whatever right the King has outside Durham, the bishop has within/~ It is probable if the Norman owners of the first keep could revisit the scene today that they would have their ideas of what a castle may be, considerably enlarged. Cathedrals, castles, bridges, all these come in the category of buildings which the men of bygone days held 51 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. to be of capital importance and lavished much of love and care upon. Furthermore, the three are generally to be found together. Durham has its ancient bridges as well as its cathedral and its castle. (London Mail.) Tintern Abbey, a famous ecclesiastical ruin, oceupies a position of great beauty o·n the right bank of the Wye, in Monmouthshire, about 9 miles southeast of Monmouth, was founded in 1131 for Ci.stercian Monks by Walter de Clare, a relative of the Conqueror, and dedicated to St. Mary. The style of architecture is a transition from the early English to decorated and is very handsome, and may be ranked as among the finest in England. The ruins consist of portions of the nave, transept, central tower and choir. Most of the buHding, except the roof and tower, remain almost entire. (Enc.

The church, refactory and other remains here are of the Ci-stercian type, in the early English style with some traces of the Norman, with a short chancel of two squares, and transepts, with three eastward chapels to each, divided by solid walls. The whole is of the most studied plainness,. the windows are unadorned and the nave has no triforium and the cloister to the south occupies the w:ttole length of the nave. Above this runs the dormitories, opening by stairs into the south transept of the church. The hall was the most spacious apartment. measuring 8~ feet long by 48 in width, and divided by two rows of columns, and with its parlors or reception and living rooms, kitehens, pantry and buttery, with vaulted cellars and lavatories beneath and Abbot's house and infirmary and dispensary outside, with workshops, barns, gardens, fields, :fish pond -and mill, in connection therewith is the most perfect in e.xistence, of which we have so good an account, thus laying within th·e 3 mile .·radius of Leeds, with a population of 456,789 in 1912.

The whole church is ·a building of exceptional splendor and beauty, it is covered throughout with stone groining from the early English of the choir to the fan vaulting of the central tower. Its plan consists of a nave and aisle with two short transepts, each with a westerµ aisle and two eastern chapels, the choir and its aisles of long length, behind the high altar are two smaller transepts with a richly decorated lady chapel and semi-octagonal apse. The cloister, 160 -by 150 feet, extends along the whole length of the nave. The extreme length of the church is 371 feet. The oak stalls and bishop~s throne in the choir are magnificent specimens of 15th century wood-carving, still well-preserved. The great glory of the church, and that makes its unique, is the wo·nderful series of sculptured figures in the exterior of the west front. The whole of the facade, 147 feet wide, and the two western towers are com­ pletely covered with the grandest examples of fine 13th century statuary in existence. It is covered with more than 600 figures in the full round or in relief, arranged in tiers and of varying life sizes, finely decorated in gold and silver. The tympana of the doorways are filled with reliefs and above them stand rows of collossal statues of Kings and Queens, bishops and saints, and prophets with graceful folds of drapery and dig­ nified heads of noble type, designed with due regard to the main lines of the strueture and history of the period from St. Augustine down to and includin~ the Saxon, Norman and Plantagenet dynasties. Also 48 reliefs with subjects from Bible history and an immense representation of the Last Judgment and the Resurrection, the latter alone containing about 150 figures, by eminent and distinguished English theologians and artists and which comprises some of the most beautiful mediaeval architecture and statuary combined which exists anywhere in England.

Winchester, in Hampshire, a city and parliamentary and municipal borough, on the river Itchen, 60 miles S. W. of London, is an ancient city, the Caer Gwenb (white city) of the Britons and the Venta Belgarum of the Romans, being in a central position on the Roman high-roads in the south of England. As a residence of the Saxon Kings, it became after the Norman conquest the capital of the country. Many sovereigns were crowned and many parliaments held here and the city continued to b€ a favorite royal residence, and Henry 2d rebuilt the palace on a larger scale. But in the 15th ce~tury. in Cromwelrs time, the city suffered severely from a siege and the castle was dismantled, but the hall of the palace and foundations still exist and in Sept. 16, 1685, Charles 2d had made it a "stately frabric.'~ It also oossesses a famous cathedral, founded in the 11th century, the transepts, crypt and part of the nave being of that period. It is the largest cathedral in England, 560 feet in length, and has a magnificent interior of various periods of architecture. Among many ancient monuments and memorials to Saxon and Danish Kings and Norman Princes. are those of Hasdicanute, William Rufus (Wm. 2d) and others who were crowned and buried there. It has besides, several churches and a hospital founded in the 12th century, which contains a handsome Norman church of the 11th to the 15th century reconstruction. It is the seat of Winchester College, founded in 1387. Its fine chapel, hall, choristers and other buildings still exist in good preservation. The city has several good schools and the usual public and charitable institutions and its .barracks, which accommodate about 2,000 men. In the Mid­ dle A~es it was famed for its wool trade and textile fabrics; in the 14th century it was the chief wool mart of England and had an extensive trade with France. Belgium and Holland.

In the usual patent of nobility the title only descends to heirs of the hotly male and special remainders are granted only in cases where some great national service has been rendered, as in the case o·f Lord Roberts, whose peerage descends through his daughter, and Lord Kitchener, whose earldom upon his death will descend to his brother or his brother's children. Already five peerages are without heirs in remainder through the war, six peers have been killed. Nearly 30 heirs to peerages have been killed and almost as many wounded. Fifty sons of peers have been killed and the number wounded is in the hundreds. Brothers o.f peers, baronets and knights who have either been killed or wounded number a great total. How heavily the titled families have contributed themselves to this conflict may best be imagined when it is stated that 213 peers and 424 sons of peers are already serving with the colors. Boys and mere infants are succeeding to titles. LoNDON.-Lord Buckmaster, formerly Lord Chancellor, ·declared in the House of Lords the other day that the people of "middle class~' in Great Britain were being "slowly ground to powder under present conditions.'' "There is a large body of pec·ple w horn," he said, "for want of a better definition, I will call the middle class~ the people engaged as civil servants, doctors, lawyers,. writers, and schoolmasters, all the people who earn relatively small incomes, say from £300 to £1,000 and who are the most thrifty and the most self-sacrificing class in _the whole country. ''They are peo·ple who stint themselves someti-mes of almost the necessities of life in order that they may give their sons a better ehance at school and at college; they are the class which has recruited all our finest people all over the globe.

(Enc. Brit., 9th Ed., Vol: 10, I•• 690.) Gloucester, capital of Gloucestershire, near its center is one of the oldest cities of England. It is beautifully situated on a gentle eminence of the left bank, over looking the Severn, with 2 bridges on incurve of the river, 33 miles N. E. of Bristol and abo-ut 75 miles N. W. of London, in a valley sheltered by the Cotswold and Melvern Hills. In the time of the Romans it was the camp of Glevum, vestiges of which now remain. As a Roman station under Aulus Plautus it became a city of Mercia, and under the Saxons derived its present na;me. In the days of the "Venerable Bede" Gloucester was "one of the noblest cities in the land.'! The Norman Kings, beginning with Wm. the Conqueror, favored it as a royal residence. Henry 1st met his death near there in 1135, after bequeathing his crown to his dau. Matilda. Henry 2d held the great council of the "Court of the Kings" there in 1175, and Henry 3d was crowned there in the abbey in 1216 and "loved Gloucester better than London." The great cathedral of Norman-Gothic architecture is the most im.J)ortant building, -whose construction was begun in the 11th century. It is 420 feet long and 144 broad, with a beautiful central tower rising to the height of 225 feet and topped by four graceful pinnacles. The nave is massive Norman, with early English roof; the crypt also, under the choir, aisles and chapels is Norman. as is also the chapter house and transepts and porches in the decorated Gothic.

cloisters are on the north and the carols or stalls for the :Monks' study and writing lying to the south. The finest monument is the canopied shrine of Edward 2d, who was in­ terred here after being deposed and his murder at Berkeley Castle, in 1327, by Morti­ mer~s villains. By the visits of pilgrims to this, 'Vhe building and sancturary were enriched. In a side chapel, too, is a monument in colored bog oak of Robert Courthouse, a great 1benefactor to the abbey, the oldest son of the Conqueror, who was interred here. One of the oldest houses in the city is the "New Inn, in the Northgate Street/' a strong and massive timbered house, with external -galleries and court yards, built in 1450, for the pilgrims to Edward 2d'.s shrine, a. traditional subterranean passage leading thence to the cathedral. The timber is principally chestnut. It is an important industrial center, with manufactures of engines, railway cars, agricultural implements, cutlery, large shipbuilding yards, foundries and flour mills. · All public utilities are municipally owned and town is progressive and enterprising.

They are not long like the rivers of great continent.s, but a number of them are navigable through a large part of their course and are thus of great commercial im:9ortance. All around the coast the tides are high, that at Bristol reaching the height of 30 feet, and because of this it has been possible for certain cities, which are situated some distance from the seaboard to become great seaport.s. The most noted of such cities is London, navigable for largest ships, 200 miles up on the Thames, which ranks well to the top, among the commerce carrying- rivers of the world. Other eastern rivers of importance are the Ouse, Humber, Tyne, Wear and the Tees; on the west there are the Severn,, the longest river of Great Britain, and the Mersey, which carries down to the sea great freights from Liverpool and other manufacturing districts. The estuary of the Humber extends for over 20 miles for the largest ships, varying from one to seven miles in width, thus forming an imiPortant water system for exporting and importing raw and manufactured products .for York, Lincoln, Leeds, Hull and Great Grimsby. London is the most important place on earth. It is not only the most populous, but is the greatest of great cities. No other city is the center of so many world-wide interests. Towards no other city do so many human beings look for inspiration, for commands and for rewards. (E. Burton Holmes, the fa:mous traveler and teacher.) No other city contains so many spots that are associated with the lives of the people who have played a prominent part in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race. No other city contains so many landmarks which remind one of -poets, whose works are among the masterpieces of the English language; of authors whose books hav~ become the common heritage of the human race; of men of science who by their researches and discoveries have contributed to the advancement of mankind, and of men of great achievement in the domain of politics, commerce, :finance -and. other branches of human activity. With its noble Westminster Abbey, magnificent Palace, Houses of Parliament, splendid churches, noted halls and courts of justice, Old Tower and great museum, exchange, parks and embank­ ments, with its 12 antique bridges and endless streets of shops and stores and traffic of the great metropolis, it stands unrivaled by no other city.

K~therine Parr, the first Protestant Queen of England, and the nursing mother of the "Reformation." Her royal descent was the dau. of Sir Thos. Parr, Knight, born in Kendal-castle in 1510. From the marriage of his Norman progenitor, Ivo de Tellebois, with Lucy, the sister of the renowned Earls Morcar and Edwin. Sir Thos. Parr inherited the blood of the Anglo-Saxon Kings. Ivo de Tellebois was the first Baron of Kendal and maintained the state of a petty sovereign in the nor.th, Elizabeth, an only dau., a descendant md. Sir Wm. Parr, Knight. and who brought Kendal-castle and a rich in­ heritance into Queen Katherine's paternal house. Sir Wm. Parr, the -grandson of this pair, was made Knight of the Garter, and md. Elizabeth, a co-heiress of Lord Fitzhugh, by Alice, dau. of Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmoreland, and Joanna Beaufort, dau. of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Alice Neville was sister of the King's great-grand­ mother Cicely Neville, Duchess of York and through this connection Katherine Parr was the 4th cousin to Hlenry the 8th, and also the same to Lord Burgh, L.ord Latimer and Sir Thos. Seymour, as we shall see iater. · From the elder co-heiress of Fitzhugh, the patrimony of the Marmions, the ancient champic,ns of England, was transmitted to Sir Thos. Parr, father of Queen Katherine. Her m:other; Matilda, or as she was commonly called, "Maud Green," was dau. and co­ heiress of Sir Thos. Green of Boughton and Green's Norton in the ·county of Northamp­ ton. This lady was a descendant of the distinguished families of Talbot and Throck­ morton. Her sister Annie md. Sir Nicholas Vaux, afterward created Lord Vaux, of Harroden, and dying childless, the whole of the rich inheritance of the Gre_ens of Bough- . ton centered in Matilda. At the age of 13 Matilda became the wife of Sir Thos. Parr in 1508. The male line failing with Wm. de Lancaster, the seventh in descent, the honor and estates of that mighty family passed to his sisters Helwise and Alice.

His son, her father, Sir Thos. Parr, at that time held high offices at court, being master of the wards and revels, and comptroller of the household of Henry 8th.

It is the chief house and standeth about 2 miles from Great Tanfield_,, Lord Latimer died in Feb., 1543, leaving her childless, with a rich dowery, and she marries the King Henry 8th, at Hampton Court, July 10, 1543. . She was learned and amiable to a high degree, and Henry,s regard for her was phenomenal, and he ap­ pointed her Queen Regent, and entrusted the government in her hands in his absence, on voyage to France against the French King, in 1546, which she administered with Rrudence and energy. He died in 1547, having reigned 38 years, and being won overt, bringing a.bout the "great Reformation/, which finally culminated in the first Protestant Church of England. One of the first fruits of Queen Katherine's virtuous influence over the mind of the King was the restoration of his daughters, the persecuted Mary, and the younger neglected Elizabeth, to their proper rank in the court, and recognition in the order of succession to the crown, and to which they finally achieved, and interested herself in behalf of the universities, which he had established. And he settled uuon her in 1540, for life, the Wimbledon Park House, in the suburbs of London, and the Manor of Y eovel, in Henford, between Somerset and Dorset, who held it to her death in Sept., 1548. After Henry's death, Jan. 28, 1547, she md. her old lover, Sir Thos.

It is situated on a lofty eminence commanding a panoramic view of the town and the picturesque, ever verdant vale of the Kent, that clear and rapid stream, which night and day sings an unwearied song as it rushes over its rocky -bed at the foot of the castle hill. The circular tower of the castle is the most considerable portion of the ruins, but there is a lar,ge enclosure of ivy-mantled walls remaining with a few broken arches. These are now crowned with wild flowers, whose peaceful blossoms wave untold, where the red cross banner of St. George once flaunted on tower and parapet of the sternly guarded fortress, that for centuries was regarded as the most important defence of the town of Kendal and the adjaeent country.

Dorothy Vernon at Haddon HaIL Formerly Owned by Willia.m de Peveril, After the Conquest., 1006. (See :pp. 111, 162 and 1'11 of First Book.) At Ro-wsley, Derbyshire (the central county of England), the quaint old '~Peacock Inn,'~ with its vine-covered wall~, casement windows and rare old gardens, is the picture of peace and comfort. and it is also a perfect type c·f the hostelries of bygone days. If the guest can tear himself away from its ease and plenty, its stately gardens and its soothing atmosphere, the surrounding country affords many delightful walks and attrac­ tions, both historical and romantic. (Twenty miles further south is Lord Vernon's Sud­ bury Hall, 10 miles S. E. of Derby on the river Dove [acres in 1873, 6,154].) Following the pretty little river Wye, o-n Midway Railway, one -soon comes to Had­ don Hall, one of the best specimens of mediaeval domestic architecture now in existence, although it has been added to at various periods from the 11th to the 16th centuries. It was given by Wm. the Conqueror to one of his sons, or nephew (William de Peveril, · reputed son or the Conqueror, was Earl or Nottingham in adjoining Co. Seep. 162 of Book) William Peveril (Scott's '~Peveril of the Peak" [filgh Peak, 1,880 feet, in North Derby Co.]) and is now the property of the Duke of Rutland a descendant of the beautiful Dc,rothy Vernon, whose romantic elopement with John Manners has been celebrated in drama, song and story, a.nd lends an especial interest to .the old castle. The Vernons lived at Haddon Hall (26,973 acres in 1873) from 1195 to 1567, and among the many beautiful women of their line, the most · beautiful is said to have been the self-willed Dorothy. Her youthful lo·ve-dream was thwarted by her equally obstinate father. some say because of family feuds, others say on account of difference in religion. Whatever the cause, parental opposition was so strong that one night when a grand ball was in progress in the famous ball-room of Haddo-n Hall, the heiress stole away through the door of the anteroom and :fled, in all her festive array, along "Dorothy's Walk'' (a long terrace lined with stately yews) down the long :flight of steps to the lower terrace and over the little bridge to- her waiting lover, where she had often met him in their rides in the forest. but now he carried her away on his :fleet steed to a hasty morning wed­ ding, carefully placing many miles between the irate father and the lovely bride. Dorothy's father, Sir George Verno-n, "The King of the Peak,'~ allowed his wrath to cool in time and the happy couple returned and made their home at the Hall. John :fy{anners was a younger son of the Earl of Rutland, and father of the first Duke of Rut­ land, whose primitive cradle is now exhibited in the state bedroom of Haddon Hall. The great ball-room from which Miss Dorothy :fled is o-ver 100 feet long, 18 feet wide and 15 high. On the south side toward the garden are three very large recessed windows, and on the north side is a huge fireplace with ancient fire-dogs. ,At the east end of the re-om is a glass case containing a bust of Grace, Lady Manners, wife of Sir George Manners (said to have been made from a cast taken after death). Certainly the lady was far from 'beautiful, if one judges from this representation of her charms. The in­ terior of the family chapel is in a half-ruined state. On the right there is a stoup for holy water, about 400 years old, and just beyond it are servants~ seats. In the chancel are two large, high family pews, one on each side, the master and his sons occupy one and the lady and her daughters the other. The stained-glass window in the chapel was of great beauty, but in the 19th century the greater part of it was secretly stolen in the ni,ght, and its place has been filled with fragments of colored glass taken from other windows. In the kitchen may still be seen the imlll€nse fireplace, the large wooden chopping tray, a salting trough and other pieces fo·r culinary work. In the banquetin5- hall is the minstrels' gallery, the front of which is carved and paneled and decorated with sta.gs' antlers and a gallery along one side of later construction. The lord and his guests sat on a raised platform, at one end, while the retainers sat at tables in the body of the hall. The high table is a remarkable specime:q. of its kind and one of the most 59 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. interesting relics of feudal times. Over the banqueting-hall is the drawing room, the walls sun· hung with ancient tapestries. There is a great deal of •beautiful old tapestry in Haddon Hall and it .seems to be woven or worked in small pieces and the shades of coloring done separately and then sewed together. Another roo·m shown to visitors is the state bedroom, with old oil-paintings and Gobelin tapestry desi,gned in panels. on the borders of which are· medallions with subjects from Aesop·s fables. Queen Elizabeth is said to have once sle:9t in this re-om, and in a large ·window recess is a dressing-table with a mirror called "Queen Elizabeth's •looking-glass/' Tb,e poor Queen's vanity must have received a shock when she saw herself reflected there, or else the glass has become defective with age, although it has a beautiful gold-gilt frame. The state bed is large and imposing, draped with faded green silk velvet c;lating from the reign of Henry 6th. The last person to occupy this bed was George 4th, when he was Pri~ce Regent. There are so·me smaller and less interesting rooms to which the visitor may have access, all by the small windows and tb,e rude workmanship of oaken doors and fastenings show great antiquity. A winding staircase of uneven stone steps leads to the Peveril Tower, the highest part of the Hall, and from this tower there is a beautiful view of the valley of the Wye and the hills and valleys around. Haddon Hall is not used as a residence by its owner, the Duke of Rutland, but it is kept in reasonable repair and is visited yearly by hundreds of ~'trip,pers~~ from all parts of the British Isles and by tourists from all countries. To be appreciated fully it should be inspected leisurely and not "done'' in the few minutes allowed some of the "personally eonducted'' visitors. One lovely sum­ mer day we saw two large wagonettes filled with tourists drive up to the Hall and the procession headed ,by a guide walked through the rooms and back to the waiting vehicles in -less than half an hour. We learned that these people were Americans who had landed at Liverpool that morning and after hastily viewing this fine old mansion they were to be taken to Chetsworth House, the Duke of Devonshire's country seat,; 83,829 acres (in 1873}, 3 miles N. W. of here, while later in the day they were due in London for additional sight-seeing. Haddon Hall, as well as many other charming .and historical places, will repay one for frequent and extended visits, as new points of inter­ est will repeatedly reward the unhurried visitor, and many a pleasant hour may be spent on the terraces, looking over the delightful landscape and landed estate and dreaming of bygone days wh_~n the Hall was a stage for the drama of life, with all its elements of love an~ hate, of com~y and tragedy, of peace and war.

Helen of Troy -and the Trojan War (Continued from pp. 16, 193 and 216 of First Book). Helen of Troy, the fairest woman of the ancient world, whose name to every age since_ her own time, has stood for all that is most beautiful and almost divine. It was of her the English poet Marlowe (1655-1693) wrote: "Was this the face, that launched a thousand ships, and burned the topless towers of Ilium? According to Greek legend she was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, mother of Tyndareus, King of Sparta, whom the king of all the gods, great Jupiter had courted in the semblance of a swan. When· in her childhood of 15 she was so beautiful that Theseus, King of Attica. carried her off to be his bride, bearing him a daughter, Iphigenia (who afterward married Probius), but her brothers, Castor and Pollux, afterwards recovered her and brought her back to her Spartan home, and as she grew this "Spartan Maiden~' increased in beauty, so that many ardent suitors, among whom were Ajax, Teucer and Ulysses, sought her hand. Proclaiming ,Menelaus, King of Sparta, as her choice, she bound the other suitors by an oath that if again abducted, they would help her husband in his need to recover her. When Paris, son o·f Priam, King of Troy, became a guest in Menelaus· home, he pleaded with Helen that she go with him back to his father's house and Trojan home, and he won his ·suit. Some of the legends declare she went willingly, while others assume that Paris,carried her. off to Troy, in the absence of her husband at Crete. .Phereclus, a son of Hammonides, is said to have built the ship in which Paris sailed and carried off Helen, and to have been slain in the Trojan war by Miriones. · Menelaus called on all those Grecian chiefs, whose sacred oath he held, and they came forward to avenge the wrong. This was the cause of the great Trojan war, the most terrific conflict of an­ tiquity. When Troy had fallen and with the tragic death of Paris and her marriage to his ,brother Duphobus, the lovely Helen, cause of all the loss of life, whose beauty still 60 I \ ',------. - /. - •·•-'- -, ( / . _.---=:-, -----,- ::~ I / . ----✓,i~~~,r~~~~~}.'1---~-~

Their later life in Sparta, their old home, passed happily for them and their only dau., Hermione, who had been married to Neopto·lemus, son of Achilles, but all her days were saddened by the thoughts of all the woe Greece had suffered for her beauty's sake. In poetry her name is often found, and Tennyson, in a "Dream of Fair Women," thus described her in these words, which make her beauty and her -sadness felt: "At length I saw a lady within call, Stiller than chiselled marble. standing there; A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, And most divinely fair. Her loveliness with shame and with surprise Froze my swift speech; she turning on my face The starlike sorrows of immortal eyes, Spoke slowly in her place. I had great beauty; ask thou not my name; No one can be more wise than Destiny, Many drew swords and died; where e'er I came I brought calamity." The Iliad, regarded by many as the ,greatest epic in the world, is ascribed to the ancient Greek .poet Homer, as a writer or compiler, of which the first 24 books deal mostly with the Trojan war. Hector, the most attractive character in the Iliad; in Greek mythology the most valiant of the Trojans, whose forces he commanded. He engaged the Grecian herces in conflicts, and often gained advantage over them. By his presence Troy was unconquerable, but when he killed Patroclus, the friend of Achilles, the latter slew him and dragged his body three times around rubout the walls of the city at his chariot wheels. Priam, the aged father of Hector, by pleas afterward ·got possession of the body and gave it solemn burial with funeral rite. In the sixth book of the Iliad, Hector's leave-taking of his wife, Andromache, and his departure to meet Achilles, for the last time, are the finest episodes described therein. According to Homer, Scaman­ drius, known as Astyanax, in Troy, was the only son of Hector and Andromache, and was thrown from the walls of Troy, by the Greeks, that he might not rebuild the city.

She had other children by later husbands in other lands, after his death1 of little or no distinction.

It is not simply that the Iliad tells a fascinating story in a straightforward, simple way, nc-r that its thought is consistently lofty in lines swinging and majestic; it is in addition to all this a record of antiquity, and very much that is known about the modes of life and customs of the people, and· of thought in those far-away times, have been learned from its pages.

Through an extensive study of members of some of the oldest American families, America as the "melting pot of the nations" proves to be but a convenient expression for writers and orators-merely a picture drawn by those who· do not trouble themselves about the precision of their figures of speech, a myth without foundation of fact. For four years Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, a Curator of the Division of Physical Anthropology of the United States National Museum, has had und€r way an investigation of the blend­ ing of the various types of humanity in America, which, though not yet fully completed, has resulted in the inevitable conclusion that the force of heredity is too strong to be radically altered in a century or two and that we must wait centuries longer to find a type which will justify the statem·ent that America is in reality a ~'melting pot" of the nations.

Dr. Hrdlicka finds definitely that, as yet. such is not the case. His investiga­ tion shows that the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers, the Virginia cavaliers, the Penn­ sylvania Dutch and the Huguenots, while possibly not as much alike as their ancestors probably were, are still far from a real blend.-Philadelphia Record! 1920. BELLAS IN MAiSSACHUSETTS. According to a re_port prepared for the Massachusetts Bureau of Immigration by Professor William I. Cole, of Wheaton College, there are in this state about 45,000 or 50~000 Greeks, three-fifths of whom are natives of the Kingdom of Greece itself, and the other two-fifths from various parts of the Turkish Empire. The colony of Greeks at Lowell is by far the largest in the state, consisting of more than 12,000 persons; in Boston there are but 4,000 of this race. Lowell is, indeed, the third largest "Greek'! city in the United States, only New York and Chicago possessing a iarger Greek population. Some accident of commerce, of personal influence or pure caprice has linked our spindle ·city intimately with the land of Aristotle, Pericles and Marco Bozzaris; and if it may be assumed that the Greeks of Lowell, or any large proportion of them are destined to remain in the city and blend their blood with that of its inhabitants, it will not be in the future regarded as a freak of fate that a great and most sensitive artist like Whistler should be born there. Some future Yankee Phidias of Praxiteles may spring from the loins of this colony of Hellenes.-.Boston Transcript! July, 1919. WHERE TWENTY-FIVE CENTURIES LOOK DOWN ON THE PAST AGES. If you will look upon a good map of Europe you will see, at the western mouth· of the Dardanelles, a little to the south, close to the mainland of Asia Minor, the triangular island of Tenedos. Perhaps you had never heard of this island until you read in war dispatches the other day that "a British destroyer captured two Turkish sailing vessels near Tenedos/' Perhaps, if you remember your heroic legendary history well, the name recalls to you the part Tenedos once played in the fortunes of the ancient Greeks. Don't you recall that when the Greeks made the feint of abandoning their ten-year siege of Troy, 1184 B. C., they launched their shi:ps and put to sea, pretending to sail for home. But they did not sail for home. Instead they took refuge behind the island of Tenedos. They left behind them a wooden horse (now you begin to recall it, don't you?) filled with soldiers. The Trojans dragged this horse in triumph into Troy. The Greek warriors crept out of it in the night and opened the gates of the city to their comrades and created thereby a story that has lived ever since. Tenedos has not since looked always upon peaceful seas. The island must have wit­ nessed the passing of the ships of Xerxes, captained by Persian satraps, sail down the blue Aegean against the Greeks. Then as now the future of the world swayed in the scales of war. If Xerxes had been successful the whole of civilization would have been changed and Europe and America would have been fashioned in an Oriental melting pot. Oriental despotism would have forever choked democracy. But the Persian fleet the island of Tenedos looked upon failed· and few of the ships of X:erxes ever sailed back past Tenedos to the "pontoon'' bridge the Persian King had flung across the Hellespont. Instead, at Salamis, another island, in 449 B. C., while Xerxes looked on from-- the hill of Aegaleos, the Greek fleet practically annihilated the Persians in the first great naval battle recorded by history. Then past Tenedos went the Greek ships to destroy the "pontoon'' bridge and cut off the means of retreat of the Persian hosts. Again in later days Alexander the Great paid his respects to Tenedos by steering his ships behind it to make a landing on the Trojan coast in commemoration of the exploits of Julius Caesar and others, •grew into great national significance.

. l • Among the aggressive enterprises and expeditions of the Colonial Wars. some were undertaken by volunteers. The most important of these was the seizure ·of. the strong fortress of Ticonderoga and Crown Point by Connecticut and Vermont militia, under the commands of Colonels Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold. Ticonderoga and its garrison were taken possession of at dawn on the 10th day of May, 1775. .:'In the name of lhe great Jehovah and Continental Congress.~~ And two days afterwards Cpl. Seth Warner of the expedition with a few men of the uGreen Mountain Boys~~ captured Crown Point. The spoils of victory consisting of almost one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon and a large quantity of ammunition and stores, were of vast consequence to the Americans. A few months later (Mar., 1776) some of these cannons were hurling death shots into the midst of the British troops in Boston and at Bunker Hill. (B. J. Lossing.) After the Boston "Bloody Massacre'~ of 1770 by Gen. Gage's 2 Regiments and the British attacks at Concord and Lex:ingt-0n, Apr. 19, 1776 were repulsed by the Minute Men (The Buckman Tavern, across the way from the Common, was the meeting place of the Minute Men and now in charge of the Lex. Hist. Soc. for their work and preservation) and after the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775, under Col. Prescott with 1.200 de­ fenders and were driven out at Dorchester Heights and Cambridge, where Washington took command of the army in July, 1775, of 15,000 patriots, "that :fired the shots heard round the world;~ which was of the greatest importance to the Americans. As Gen. Howe, the British commander quitted Boston forever on :Mar. 17, 1776, with British loss of 1,054 and Americans only 450 all told, and thus ended the Boston invasion. In the summer of 1776 Howe came into New York Bay with 25,000 men and landed on Staten Island, and on July 4, 1776, the "Declaration of Independence~~ was signed in Philadelphia. General Burgoyne, with a part of the British Army, invaded the New England States through Canada .early in 1777, issuing a proclamation inviting the Indians, who had already been troublesome to the American settlers, to join him. He passed along Lake Champlain, took Fort Ticonderoga and Fort Edward and afterward sent a large detachment to destroy military stores at Bennington. There it was attacked by Gen. Stark with a militia force of the "Green Mountain Boys•· from Vermont and New· Hampshire. He is said to- have called his troops together and addressed them thus: .:'See there men, the red coats! Before night they are ours or Molly Stark is left a widow.'~ The Americans carried the day. And when the next day another for:ce of Hessians came up, Stark with the help of Warner who had just arrived with fresh recruits, attacked and defeated 65 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

them also. This success helped to encourage the Americans then under Gen. Sullivan, and a still greater event followed. These Hessians were hired troops from the Province of Hesse-Cassel in Germany, 16,000 in all in Burgoyne's and Cornwallis' armies of the British, and the savage Indians were bribed to help and committed many crimes which greatly exasperated the Americans. Burgoyne with his whole army encamped at Sara­ toga, and was followed thither by Gen. Gates with an American force. Two battles were fought at Stillwaiter and Bemis Heights, without decided results, but after this the British army retreated. They were, however, completely hemmed in on all sides by the army of Generals Gates and Sullivan, and run short of supplies and provisions. - On Oct. 17, 1777, Gen. Burgoyne with his whole army o-f more than 5,000 men, sur­ rendered as prisoners of war to the Americans at Saratoga, with 42 . cannon, 4,647 muskets, 6,000 dozen cases of cartridges and a large amount of carriages and camp equipages, as they laid down their arms and were marched eastward through Massa­ chusetts to Canada and Halifax. This was an ·event of the greatest possible importance to the Americans. It en­ couraged the suffering army o·f Washington ait Valley Forge and startled the friends of America in Europe, who had not hoped for any success so great, and France was over­ joyed and finally sent Gen. Lafayette and troops to cooperate with Washington. The Marquis de Lafayette came to the Americans' assistance July 31 and Aug. 3, 1777 was commissioned major general by Gen. Washington and Treaty of ,the Colonies' Inde- pendence was signed with France, Feb. 6, 1778. . Burgoyne's brave officers had fallen in battle, being picked off by Dan'l Morgan,. a sharpshooter, and Schuyler and Arnold,. although deprived of their commands, could not keep out of the fray,. but dashing to the front, they led the advance with their usual bravery and secured 1the victory at Saratoga, and Burgoyne's surrender proved the turn~ ing point of the Revolutionary War, so the fight at Saratoga is known as one of the decisive battles of the world- Lord Howe had failed to afford the promised support from New York. Instead of sending the expected aid up the Hudson as planned, Howe had marched to Philadelphia to oppose Washington's advance, leaving the British in New York (who came from Halifax) under the command of Sir- Henry Clinton, who made a diversion in Burgoyne~s favor, but too late to be of any service, and returned to New York to be encountered and checked 1by Washington, the "American Fabius," who the new British Gen. Cornwallis, now in charge, from the south pursued and as fast as he could in order to fo·rce pitched battles, which he tacitly avoided, however. The Battle of Trenton is another American victory of the Revolutionary War of im­ portance, because :i!t renewed the courage of the patriot forces and seriously disarranged the plans of the British. The battle was fought o·n the morning of Dec. 26, 1776, about a month after Washington had begun his retreat across New Jersey. On Dec. 8, he crossed the Delaware River, with the forces of Cornwallis in close pursuit. The British general then led his army to Princeton, stationing a force of Hessians at Trenton. On Christmas night Washington re-crossed the Delaware, in which blocks o·f ice were float­ ing, and marched to the enemy's camp at Trenton. The Hessians, who were sleeping off the effects of a night's carousal, were completely surprised and after a brief skirmish the Americans captured nearly a thousand prisoners. This and the following Battle of Princeton, in which the Americans were victoi:ious, greatly encouraged and inspired them to renewed efforts in the Revolutionary struggle for independence, and after a few more undecisive battles, which was soon accomplished, as Cornwallis and the Briitish were now getting weary of the war and his troops were deserting him and with the northern reverses had lost all hope, so he finally unconditionally surrendered at Yorktown on Oct. 18, 1781. So peace was declared, giving up all hope and claim to the colonies and the new year 17 82 was sealed by the Treaty of Paris, in 1783, and Gen. Washington resigned his command of the American army, Dec. 23, 1783, and retired to Mt. Vernon for rest and recuperation, after the great struggle, but was soon elected to the first Presidency, the highest honor to be bestowed upon an American ciitizen, Apr. 30, 1789, in New York City, where Congress was then assembled.

66 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

Description of Fort Ticonderoga (Continued from p. 115 of First Book). FORT TICONDEROGA. An English Woman's Impressions of the Old Fort. (Muriel Harris in the Manchester Guardian.) Ticonderoga sticks right out into the waters of which part is Lake Champlain and part the Ticonderoga River. It breasts them as though it were a ship. It is an absolute invitation to men to build forts ari.d to ·fight. It was, perhaps, Tico·nderoga which was responsible for Canada being British instead of French today; possibly also for the bulk of the North American continent being English speaking instead of French. For here the French explorer Champlain, accompanied by the versatile and fickle Hurons, met a war party of Iroquois at the beginning of the seventeenth century. They fought. Three Iroquois chiefs were killed, and from that day the- Iroquois, fierce and powerful, became the deadly enemies of the French, allies of the English and a buffer between them and the continually invading French of the north. The Revolution itself pales beside the significance of that chance meeting. Since the war-the great war, that is-it is customary in America to regard the Revolution as a fight between Americans and rthe Hessian minions of a German King. Lord Bryce found an echo here the other day, when he said that the America.Ii Revolu­ tion was the saving of English liberty. While there is a certain amount of propaganda in this revision of American history,. yet Ticonderog~ as it stands today,. does something to support the thesis. The museum is full of George III and Hessian uniforms and fire­ dogs made in .the shape of Hessian soldiers. On the other hand, it also commemorates the famous three charges of the Black Watch against the earthworks thrown up in a night by Montcalm, when all but two of their_ officers were killed and wounded. Here an eighteenth century Six Hundred were killed and wounded, and across the meadow, where harebells and black-eyed Susans are swaying in the summer breeze, there are rough fragments of headstones commemorating French, British and American soldiers. This was dying in a foreign land with a vengeance, when distance had to be measured by time as well as space, and a popular press had not yet brought the extraordinary within the range of the humblest. I like the feeling of crossing from one State into another, especially as •the American States are as big as European countries. Especially also as there is only a stone to mark the division, and the transit is as simple as going. from one county to another. At Ticonderoga you cross from New York Staie to Vermont or from Vermont to New York State. This might ~em an important process. Actually you stand on one shore and toot your horn, taking a soft drink the while, and presently a vessel appears which is none other than a roomy red punt, propelled from the side by a small launch. The punt lets down a tailboard, the motor gives a hiccup over it, and there you are until the process, reversed, takes places on the other side. This is one of the few ferries by means of which you span the great waterways from New York to Canada-,waterways over which, most of the time, bridges are unthinkable. It is also the gateway from the Green Mountains into the Adirondacks, blue and shapely, and from the one you can see the other on either side of Lake Champlain, and between the two on the sparkling blue surface of the lake plies a little white steamer, bearing visitors to the most historic spots of North America, and taking the place of the birch bark canoe with its load of Indians, who also had their own particular interest in historic spots. Isaac Rice died at Ticonderoga in 1852. Isaac Rice was the last surviving member of the American Revolutionary garrison. 'f.here are people today who can remember easily the year 1852, and so the American Revolution is joined up with today, needing but one solitary link. And the great war has taught us that most history is false and that things were not really like that. And the American Revolutio·n is being revised, as you might revise a ,proof sheet of a fairy tale, and it also was probably not like that either. But Ticonderoga must always have been like that, because it has always stuck out proudly into the two lakes, and because it was the center of the _carrying trade between America and Canada, and because any nation that happened to be about fought over it with a regularity that was almost monotonous-because, in short, it is a great natural feature, like the Marne or the Foret de St. Gobain, about which there could be no two differences of opinion. For further description see p. 115 of first Book.

"MY OLD HOUSE.~' AT SIXTY-Two. Just sixty-two? Then trim thy light And get thy jewels all reset; 'Tis past meridian, but still bright,. And lacks some hours of sunset yet. At sixty-two Be strong and true. Scour off thy rust and shine anew. 'Tis yet high day, thy staff resume, And :fight fresh battles for the truth; For what is age but youth's full bloom, A riper, more transcendant youth. A wedge of gold Is never old; Streams broader grow as downward rolled. At sixty-two life is begun, At seventy-three begin once more; Fly swiftly as you near the sun, And brighter shine at eighty-one. At ninety-five Should you arrive. Still wait on God, and work, and thrive. Keep thy locks wet with morning dew,. And freely let thy graces flow; For life well spent is ever new, And years anointed younger grow. So work away, Be young for aye, From sunset breaking unto day.· AT EIGHTY-Two. I hail once more my natal day, Still in my tenement of clay, With many favors blest. Now He who placed the structure here Can prop it up another year, If he should think it best. Long hath it stood, through snows and rains, And braved life"s fearful hurricanes, While many a stronger fell. The reason why we cannot see But what to us seems mystery The Builder knows full well. But now ~tis weatherworn and old; The Summer's heat and Winter's cold Pierce through the walls and roof. "Tis like a garment so worn out, To mend there seems no whereabout, So gone is warp and woof.

THE BROOKS OF NEW ENGLAND. The brooks of New England! Have you ne·er heard them sing? Have you ne·er heard the chorus To the world wide they fling, As they musically ripple, As they rush, and they glide, rhrough forest, through meadow, Or by the hillside? "We flow from the mountain,. we flow to the sea, Our song is the song of the land of the free; We sang to your sires, who fought by our banks, We sing to their children. Fight on! Close your ranks!" The brooks of New England! Men pass--still they sing­ And their chorus ne·er changes, And ever they cling To the message God gives them To tell all mankind- While they purl, and they ripple, They twist and they wind- "We sang to the red man, his race long is run, Beware ye the red man with race just begun! We flow from the mountain, we flow to the sea, Our song is the song of the iand of the free:~ -John B. Foster.

Old Virginia, .tn its Earliest History, Expansion and Emigration 'flr estward.

Jamestown, Virginia. was the earliest permanent English colony in America. The first settlement was made by the London Company in May, 1607 at Jamestown. and under the able leadershi:!> of Capt. John Smith the colony escaped destructie>n and Indian attacks.

William and Mary College was founded at Williamsburg in 1693 and with the excep­ tion of Harvard, the oldest institution of learning in America. It was just before this that the defeated Royalists or Cavaliers, in Battle of Dunbar, Sept. 3, 1650 and Worcester, 1651, Scotch and English, came in great numbers from England to Virginia. The population rose from 15,000 in 1648 to 38,000 in 1670. Moreover,. this meant a great in­ crease in the numbers of certain classes of settlers. The high born and wealthy. Such settlers there had been before in Virginia, but now this became the dominant class. Their coming brought about a change in the character of Virginian society, giving to it that aristocratic tone for which it became noted as the "Old Dominion.'~ It also re­ sulted in the firm establishment and extension of the la:r-ge plantation system of industry and development. For now large grants had become common and the demand for labor to clear the forests and lands to plant and raise tobacco brought to the colony an in­ creasing number of slaves and indentured servants and overseers, and as each plantation for.med a small colony by itself, the people going from place to place were always hoo­ pitably entertained in the colonial houses they visited as they passed along. The population in 1689 was 50,000. Then as we pass along the road for miles between the southern tobacco and corn plantations and the fluffy cotton fields, from the little cabins of the negro workers, from village to village and mansion to mansion, we are impressed with those stately colonial farmhouses of the South, with th~ir · broad veran­ das running round or massive columns supporting overhanging roofs, for the ideal southerner builds large and has great joy in his home and delighted to live on a grand scale with an army of colored retainers, which give a classical air and genial and in­ viting welcome to the southern home, with his broad domains and herds of cattle, thoroughbred race and carriage horses, and his pack of hounds for the chase, on the wide thoroughfar~ of the river bottoms and thus bespeaking the spirit of life and sport inherited from his English ancestors. · In 1710, Gov. Spottswood came and built and ruled 12 years in his famous "Castle­ wood·~ mansion at Williamsburg. During that period the country took on new strength; so it came that there were two distinct settlements in Virginia, that east of the Blue Ridge and that in the valley of the Shenandoah. Emigration westward commenced with Gov. Spottswood's entrance in 1716 and the great territory of Virginia extended to the Ohio river in 17 44, rights being obtained from the Indians, and westward to the Mississippi in 1763, by Treaty of Paris, and afterwards divided into several federal states, and still later, West Virginia made a separate state in April, 1862. An old sachem in the 18th century, meeting a surveyor, said to him, "The French elaim all the land on one side of the Ohio River, the English claim all the land on the other side. Now where does the Indians _land lie?'' Firewater and gunpowder had accomplished the work . . After the purchase rights from the Indians in 17 44, and now that the population of Virginia was increasing rapidly, people began to cross the Alleghany Mountains to settle o·n the other side, where many of the English colonists had received grants of land and a fort had been established near Pittsburg (Du Quesene l)y the French in 1752) and glowing descriptions of the Ohio or "Beautiful River/' the '~Gateway to the West," and the fertile lands through which flowed the Mississippi ( secured by Treaty of Paris, 1763), leading over and through the celebrated Cumberland Mountains and "Gap roadH in earliest settlement of the country in wending their way, and also that Daniel Boone, a native of Pennsylvania~ then living in North Carolina, the noted American pioneer, explorer and colonizer, had crossed the Alleghany and Cumberland Mountains later into the logwood house wilds of Kentucky in 1769 and founded a settlement Oct., 1773 at Booneville (Boones:boro now), Ousley Co., first to Boone Co., W. Va., later on being over­ crowded with settlers he moves on about 1788, first near the Great Kanawha River and Mountains and down the Ohio River to tidewater, and finally crosses the Mississippi River to Missouri, where he died in 1820, at 85 years, being born in 1735, and his son Enoc, first white child bn. in Kentucky, in 1777, died in 1862. Colonel Boone lost a son on Aug. 19, 1782 in a fierce encounter and assault upon a band of GOO Indians near Blue Lick Springs, in which 60 whites were killed.

Virginia Bucks and Descendants (Continued from I•· -11 of First Book). Of the family of Rev. Richard Buck, first settler -0f the Bucks in America but little is known. It is said (DP- 40 and 119 of Boo-k) that Rev. Richard Buck of Argecroft Hall, near Manchester, England, md. a Langley and title, and inherited an estate at about Colonial times and probably with his rank and means is the same that came to America. There were also Richard Bucks of the Landed Gentry in Cambridge, Kent, Gloucester and Hampshire, besides Sir Charles in Essex, who may have been related. Six months after Capt. Smith~s departure in 1609, Sir Thos. Gates with Capt. New­ port, Sir Geo. Somers, Admiral, and Richard Buck arrived on the 24th of May, 1610. When nearing the cc-a.st of Virginia a terrifiSea Venture!, was stranded on one of the reefs of the Bermuda Islands, where they remained nine months in construction from the wreckaJge and cedars of the island two boats, with which they reached Jamestown the following year. His wife Grecian, whom he married (says Harvey) before leaving England, shared with him the terrible hard­ ships of that memorable voyage. The narrative of their tempestuous passage, ship­ wreck and sufferings, include the circumst2nce of the birth of their eldest child on shipboard. He was the second preacher to come to the colony. Rev. Robert Hunt labored in his vocation with piety and zeal to the end of his life, who came over in 1607, with the first colonists~ who died before his arrival and whom he· succeeded June 10, 1610, and said to preach the first sermon under a thatched bark and sod roof in the newly eonstructed little log church at Jamestown, ever preached in North America. Also the first Virginia House of Burgesses which was established at Jamestown in 1619, the :first appearance of an English legi-slative body in America, was opened with prayer by Rev. Richard Buck in July, 1619. Rev. Wm. Chrashaw who was later a minister in. the colony, says, '"He was an able and powerful preacher, of whom I can say the lesse, because he was of Oxford and unknown to me, but of whom I have heard Sir Tho·mas Gates -give a good and worthy testimony and he came to the coun-sell and this employ­ ment with the commendation of a Right Reverend Prelate, Dr. Ravis, Lord Bishop of London~,, · · Rev. Richard Buck and wife, Grecian, and children, Mary, age 13, Benomy 8, Peleg 4, were living in Virginia Feb. 16, 1623. Virginia was made a royal province in 1624, and he died at about this time in 1624, and the family continued to live there many years later, as the corporation of James City had granted him 750 acres planted, besides the Glebe Land, 100 acres, adjoining the mouth of the Chickahominy River, and the cattle belonging to the Buck children, by patent, pending and order of the court in 1626 (p. 119). It is said that he was survived by his wido·w, who afterward married twice, first to John Barrows and after his death to John Bloomtfield, who or whose son became county clerk of the Co. of Isle of Wight, Va., and that the oldest child, Mary or Maria ( age 13) , later became the wife of Lieut. Tho-mas Crump of the colony, and old records show that Grecian or Gershon passed her or his landed estate to Peleg in 1635, and of Peleg in May 23, 1638, when he received a patent of 500 acres adjoining or near his father·s, but there is no evidence to show that the sons married and left families, but doubtless they did, as nearly 100 young women were sent over from England in 1619 and 1624 fc·r the colonists to marry and make them homes, and it is claimed the last member of the family had moved from Jamestown by 1650 and that they went west, probably West Virginia, as they laiter in 1716, with Gov. Spottswood, crossed the Al­ leghany Mountains into Greenbrier Co., West Va., where Charles Buck was a land owner in 1790 (p. 130), and there were two distinct settlements in Virginia, that east of the Blue Ridge and that in the valley of the Shenandoah. Of Bucks. Richard, age 24, left behind in England, perhaps fo·r education, coming later about 1635 (p. 118), and Thomas, shipped to Virginia in Aug., 1635 (p. 40), and also Sir Charles of Essex, England, who may all have been related (p. 119). Charles Buck, a namesake, was located at Williamsburg, near Jamestown, in 1690, and his sons, Wm. at Lancaster near by, and Thomas at Buckingham (town and county), in 1700 and a certain Charles, a descendant of Buckive Beach, Elizabeth City, near Fortress Monroe (entrance to James River and Jamestown and Williamsburg) in 1716, who emigrated from Westmoreland Co. to Water Lick in Frederick Co. in the Shenandoah valley in 1735, with family (p. 41), having purchased of Lord Fairfax a large tract of land on the southern side of the north branch of the Potomac River, kno-.vn as Clover Hill.

The Carolinas, North and South, remained as one colony until 1729. In 1663 a few settlers strayed to North Carolina from Virginia and settled mostly in Edinton on Chowan River, Bartie Co., Salisbury,. Rowan Co. In 1667 a settlement was made by the English at Port Royal, and in 1670 at Charleston, S. C. In 1739 the population was afterward reinforced by the Hugueno·t, Acadian and French refugees. and Irish, Scotch and Dutch seteers, and devoted themselves mostly ,to lumbering and the production of tar, pitch, turpentine, corn and tobacco in the north, and rice: indigo. cotton and sweet potatoes in the south.

Extracts from "'fhe Colonial Cavalier or Southern Life, Before the Re,·olution," by Maud Wilder Goodwin. Illustrated by Harry Edwards. New York, Lo1·ell Coryell & Co., 1894:; and Other Sources. Washingtc·n was born in Wakefield, Westmoreland Co., Va., on the Rappahannock River. In Virginia in the days of Washington's early manhood, with its vast tobacco plantations and corn and cotton fields sloping to the river, its myriads of slaves, its great estates were loyal to the King. The master was above all else a gentleman and a sportsman and the mistress a lady who directed the affairs of her household with the imperviousness of a princess of the blood, a Virginia of stiff brocades, of hoops and powdered wigs, a land where hospitality ran free and good wine was never wanting. Here the young Colo-nel, Colonel George Washington, comes hither in his coach from his adjoining estate to confer with General Braddock, the English commander, who ex­ pects with the aid of his forces to bring about an end to the French and Indian wars, and in his company is Benjamin Franklin, the Philadelphia printer. Afterwards he goes forth into the disastrous campaign that cost the English general his life and from which he barely escaped, and in which the King's troops are defeated by the French and Indians. Now for a setting. '"The men who settled the Southern colonies, Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas were Cavaliers.'' Washington, Jefferson and the Lees (John and Charles),_ George Mason and John Randolph were the ''Autocrats.'' Gov. Spottswood's "enchanted castle" at Williamsburg, Gouvernour's House 1619,. Raleigh tave~ Carter·s Grove on James River 1650, Col. Byrd at his genial Brandon mansion at Westover on the Ja-mes River, Jefferson and Miss Becca Burwell's homes 1717, Lady Dolly Madison's ''Harvest Home'' and Lord Fairfax .at "Gre~nway Court;' where Washington and Lord Fairfax dined in the saloon and were entertained, were all notable resorts where hos­ pitality reigned supreme. Col. Wm. Fitzhugh (bn. 1651) at his seat in "Bedford'' in 1682, ·· Col. John Maso·n, Lord Delaware, Col. Richard Henry Lee and Pa.trick Henry (southern statesman) were all noted characters of the "Old Dominion." Edward Ran­ dolph, md. Betsy Nichols; nttie Dolly Payne, sister of Mary Payne, became Mrs. Madison, Mistress of the White H'.ouse; Thomas Neale in 1693 was appointed Postmaster General of Virginia and all other parts of North America. Williamsburg Church, Bruton parish, was the recognized Episcopal Church of England, where all the nobility attended. A gentleman of the old school, in cocked hat and knee breeches once said to Madison. "that a man might ·be a Christian in any church, but a gentleman must belong to the Church of England~' (p. 219). It is said that Charles Buck and Lord Fairfax were both vestry­ men of this church. In the choir of the old brick church at Jamestown, these Burgesses gathered, 22 of them. from James City, Henrico, Kiccowtan (now Hampton), Martin­ Brandon. Smythe's Hundred, Marten·s Hundred, Argalrs Gift, Lawne·s Plantation. Ward's Plantation and Flower da Hundred. First led by Parson Bucke (in July, 1619). they asked God's guidance, and on the principle that heaven helps those that help themselves, to the task of framing laws to take the place of the Iron Code, which Sir Thos. Dale had brought over from the Netherlands, and which strongly suggested the methods of the Inquisition (which had just before taken place in France [p. 248]). Dale had put religion, like everything else, under the martial law, but finally, in 1619, Sir George Yardley came over as Governor of Virginia and he proclaimed these cruel laws done away with· and later left to govern themselves. Also at a previous time, "For-as-much as man's affairs doe little prosper when God's service is neglected.'~ A prayer was said by Mr. Bucke, the minister, "that it would please God to guide and sanctifie all our pro­ ceedings to his own glory, and the good of this Plantation'" (p. 197). It is said, "that he was a brave, zealous, cc-nscientious man, who gave his life to the spiritual welfare of his brother and sister colonists.'· After his untimely death, Rev. Wm. Crenshaw, who succeeded him says: "He (the Rev. Richard Buck) was an able and powerful preacher,, of whom I can say lesse, because he was of Oxford and unknown to me, but of whom I have heard Sir Thomas Gates, give a good and worthie testimonie, and he came to the counsell and this employment with the commendation of a Right Reverned Prelate, Dr. Ravis, Lord Bishop of London." Afterwards, Richard Buckland (perhaps a descendant or relative) for writing a rather slanderous song concerning Ann Smith, was ordered to stand at the church door during service, with a paper round his hat inscribed, "Inimus Libellus" and afterward to ask forgiveness of God and also in par- 96 Speeding the ~parting Guests~ Virginia.

This may have been been the second son of the pastor, Benoni, aged 8 or more, who bears the Bible name, "Son of my sorrow," was of unsound mind it is sad to relate and it is said was the first born idiot in America, hut no further mention is made of him, but Col. Fitzhugh writes a Mr. John Buckner in 1680, "I hope you will make abatement for the 'Dumb Negro~ that you sold me. for she is bad at work and worse at talking, 'like yourself' ~1 (p. 181). Tom Jefferson dearly loved to rosin his bow and fiddling for a merry jig, and Patrick Henry would close the doors of his office to betake himself to dancing and fiddiin-g-, and Washington was a dresser and immoderately fond of dancing and it "reigned every­ whare. often to 10 and even 20 fiddles~' (successive figures or dances [p. 154]), and we have it on the authority of Gen. Greene that on one occasion Washington danced for three hours without once sitting d~wn. He loved to dance the "Minuet·' and to finish up with the "Virginia reer~ and a fantastic jig. The first romance of Washington's love affairs was at his Lordship~s Fairfax House~ where he met and fell in love with and often "being in company with her,'· aroused his former passion for his "Lowland Beauty,'~ as he called her, and afterwards falls in love with Miss Mary Phillipse, whom he met at the house of her sister. Mrs. Beverly Robinson, (NOTE. She was the dau. of Frederick Phillipse of Yonkers, N. Y., who is- said tQ have refused an offer of marriage of his dau. to young Col. George Washington. He [Phillipse] was regarded as a loyalist and his property was finally confiscated.) She was rich,. she was beautiful, and Washington might have made her the offer of his heart and hand, but suddenly an express from Winchester brought word to New York of a French and Indian raid, and young George Washington was ordered to join his command, le.1ving the capture of the lady to Capt. Morris (p. 69). It is also said that George proposed to· the charming Miss Mary· Carey,. sister of Mrs. George Fairfax of "Belv9ir/' in coming down the staircase in the Blue Room of the Carlisle House, built in 1753, and now stand­ ing in Alexandria, Va.,· where he was a frequent visitor, and being refused, there met his first defeat~ as she was already engaged to his half brother Lawrence.

The old "King·s Highway," was the main stage road from Williams­ burg, the provincial capital, up and through the "Northern Neck~ 1 to the Shenandoah and the road over which the early planters once rolled their tobacco wains and vans and drove their liveried coaches. or clattered fleetly with their thoroughbreds, though it was but little better than a bridle path, rough and vexious to the traveller further on to Colchester, but the road he passed over was historic. In 1676 the armed rangers and colonists c.f the "Bacon Rebellion;' with their hurried and bloody work at Assomeck and Piscataway and in the destruction of Jamestown. Over a portion of it in 1716 had clattered the "Knight of the Golden Horse Shoe/· under the gallant Gov. Spottswood, to open a way for the white man through the Alleghanies and the Cumberland Gap to the great West. Later in 1740, Virginia~s contingent of provincial.s passed over it to join -the force of Admiral Vernon in :fighting the Spaniard~s at Carthagena. Then in 1755 it had seen the passing of other Virginia troops on their way with Braddock to :fight the French and Indians on the banks of the Ohio River, and in 1781 it was gay and noisy with the "Continentals~~ going to and from Yorktown, Brandywine and other Virginia points to protect their country, their famJlies and homestead and gain their independence. 97 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY.

Prior to this, early in 1775, Patrick Henry opposes the atrocious acts of Gov. Dun­ more of Virginia, and Thomas Paine publishes "Comon Sence'~ at Philadelphia, Jan., 1775, and 100,000 copies are sold and distributed in support of Washington's followers and on Dec. 19, 1776, first number of the "Crisis" to urge on Washington~s flagging troops in that terrible winter, and later, Oct. 24, 1775, Lord Dunmore~s British fleet is repulsed at Hampton Roads, Va., and he flees to England for help and assistance, and in the meantime, 1769, Daniel Boone and his followers have opened up this road and coun­ try and formed a permanent settlem,ent at Boonesville in the Kentucky mountains, in Oct., 1775, and being overcrowded with settlers he moves further on into the "Great Kanawha" valley in 1788, but where emigration was sure .to follow, and after the Indian tribes. had relinquished their claims and the French had retired, the tide of emigration set in and formed these uold Kentucky homes," from Virginia to Kentucky and Ten­ nessee. Where the Cumberland Gap came through lay the natural gateway of the hills, hewn out in readiness by the hand of the Almighty. There was water power,- there was ore and th.ere was coal for the smelter and for market, and timber awaiting the axe of the pioneer for the cutting and the saw-mill, the whole tremendous treasure house of a virgin f9rest, and blue gray and rich blue grass fields of prairie lay open for the settler and farmer and capitalist. And so the later pioneer · families came in with their ox teams and prairie-schooner caravansary up over the Kentucky and Tennessee mountains, bringing with them their household goods, horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs, house­ hold utensils and house-building accessories, farming implements and negro servants and laborers. The forest was subdued and good roads constructed. The land surveyed and laid ont into towns and ,counties, comfortable farm houses, barns, mills, factories ~nd tanneries were built. Mines of iron and coal were opened and forges built and later c·n villages and cities sprang up and schools, and colleges established. Furnaces foundries, rolling mills and iron and steel .manufactories and railroads were constructed, and shipping on the larger rivers improved. Dairying, orcharding, vineyards and plantations of corn, grain, cotton and tobacco prevailed and with the emigration coming in on all sides, the ,country prospered and expanded and flourished .and blossomed like the rose. and having a favorable climate, it is second to no other of the southland, and many of our most eminent men in the House of Congress and on the battlefield have emanated from its borders. Life in Virginia was sturdy, healthy, hospitable and by no means lacking in sterling and manly virtues. The men were brave and chivalric, the women charming and de­ voted. home life beautiful and- family affection strong. It gave us leaders of men who l:)roved the magnificent qualities of the race in moments of national peril. When the country stood on the brink of the Revolutionary War, it was the Virginia Assembly under Patrick Henry~s eloquence, that led the way in which Massachusetts followed. It was Henry Lee, a Virginian, who introdueed into Congress the resolution declaring the Colonies independent. Above all, it was Virginia who gave us Washington and Marshall. The South was thus foremost in action, great in the halls of debate, on the battlefield, or in the court of justice. (Extract from Haynes~s reply to Webster.)

"Ste-phen Genealogy/' Some Descend­ ants of the Fitz Stephens Family in England and New England, by C. Ellis; Stephens, LL. D., 111 Montague St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Privately Printed, New York 1904- (and Otl1er .A.merica.n Stephen Genealogies). The Norman house of Fitz Stephen originally took its cognomen from the Christian name borne in honor of St. Stephens, the first Martyr of the Church, and in transition, the Fitz was finally dropped as usual later on. There was a Roger Fitz Stephen and an Airard Fitz Stephen, a nobleman of Nor­ mandy, who was placed by Wm. the Conqueror in command of the ·nMora/' the ship presented by his Duchess and eventual Queen, Matilda of Flanders, for his personal use in the fleet conveying the Norman forces to England, for the Battle of Hastings, 1066. The Fitz Stephen family eame over with Wm. the Conqueror and were feudal barons. in Gloucestershire from the reign of King Henry 2d, first of the Plantagenets (1154). Before him King Stephen, royal son of Stephen, Earl of Blois, and Adelia, dau. of Wm. the Conqueror, bn. in 1105, and by marriage with Maud, dau. of Count Eustice, Baron of Normandy, he was formally elected and crowned on St. Stephens' day, Dec. 26, 1135. . In that reign Ralph Fitz Stephen, Baron of Wapley, 1131, and his father Wm., after­ wards chief justice of the Circuit Court of England, were jointly high sheriffs of the shire, a position then of such influence that there was no effort to make it hereditary in the noble families. Wm:. Fitz Stephen, English historian, the Monk of Canterbury, has left us the first picture of London and its suburbs in 1184, and a very vivid one it is. "On the west higher up on the bank of the River Thames the royal palace rears its bead, an incom­ parable structure, furnished with a breastwork and bastions, at distance of two miles from the walls of the city, yet conjoined and surrounded by a continuous suburb. He speaks of its wealth, com171erce, grandeur and magnificence, of the mildness of the climate, the beauty of the citizen's gardens, and orchards on all sides without the houses of the suburbs. On the north side are the farmyards and pastures, and plain meadows, and cornfields, yielding plentiful increase, and filling the barns with corn, and with sweet, clear and· wholesome springs and famous salubrious wells; frequented by scholars and youths of the city in the summer evenings, when they walk forth to take the air, and flowing streams turning water mills with pleasant noise. Not far off is the vast forest of Middlesex, with its densely wooded thickets, its covets of game, harts, bucks, does, boars and wild bulls, and when the 'Moorfields, on the north are frozen over, the young men went out to slide and skate and sport on the ice.!!!"

In the College and Office of Heraldry may be found the various c'Coats of Arms" of this family conferred and confined to England. The Coat of Arms, for both the English and American branches is usually as follows: "Pr chevron, azure and argent, in chief, two falcons volant, or rising." This designates a shield divided by an inverted V, the upper half blue and the lower half silver; in the upper half are two falcons of gold, in the attitude of opening their wings to begin flying. There are also many Crests and Mottoes, the Motto, HFiles~Stephani/~ and "Byde Tyme" ( old English for "Abide timen) are used here with the crest of a Falcon or Eagle. The Hon. Charles ,G.

Roger Stephens, Jr., brother of Ephram, in 1774 or early in 1175, built a grist mill in Pittsford, at the mouth of the Stephens Brook near the· old ford,. on a 15 acre lot, given by the "'Proprietors of the_ to~n in 1772 for a Mill -privilage." During the Revolutionary War his family abode in Pittsford, and at the breaking out of the war he espoused the cause of England and was suspected of aiding and proscribed and finally retired to Canada. ms farm was confiscated and sold to Benjamin Stephens, June 13, 1783. It is not probable that he remained here long, for he took his mill stones and other m,ova1ble property, rafting it down on Otter Creek to Middlebury, Vt., 20 miles away, and set up a grist mill there at the falls on Otter Creek for a time and then sold o-ut, for after the war he settled in Canada, near Rideau River,. in which some years later he was drowned while shooting ducks. His wife did not long survive him. They had one dau., Martha, who md. .John Burrett and whose descendants now live in Canada. They also had two sons, Guy and Christo·pher, both left Canada at an early age and have not been heard from since.

Of churches, the first Baptist Church was organized in Pittsford, .Vt., Dec. 9, 1784, with Elisha Rich as pastor, bn. in Sutton, Mass.,. Apr. 2, 1740; and Congregational Church!' Oct. 20~ 1773. in conjunction with the Baptists at first, with various ministers from surroundiag towns for short terms, until A9r~ 14, 1784; Rev. Eleazer Harwood, Pee. 7, 1807; Rev.

Willard Child, Apr. 25, 1827, were installed and served the church and community to the best of their ability in the triumphs of the Christian faith. The M-ethodist ·Chureh .was organized in 1800 with Wm. Anson, preacher, to 1823, when he retired to Saratoga and died in 1858, respected and beloved by all. Methodist Camp Meetings were held in Pittsford in 1815, 1817, 1821, 1836 and 1839, with large audiences and attendance, and it is represented "a:s having been a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and Saviour among them.'· · Early Methodists and the Methodist Episcopal Church. This denomination arose in England in 1729 and derived their name from the exact regularity of their lives. In 1741 they divided into two parties under George Whitfield and John Wesley. The former adopted the sentiments of Calvin, and the la;tter those of Arminius. The Arminian clas·s compose the great body of Methodists in this country and in Great Britain. · Both of those men were eminently distinguished for the variety and extent of their labors and revivals of religion. The Calvinists denomination of Christians of the Congregational order are chiefly descendants of the English Puritans who founded most of the early .settlements of New England. They derive their name from John Calvin, an eminent reformer. (Hayward's Book of Reiigion, Concord, N. H., 1845.) Benj. Woester, an Evangelist, early travelled over the New England States, on horse­ back, and founded the Congregational or Union Churches, "with their spires pointing

(One of these was in Crown Point, N. Y., known as the "Old White Meeting House, and town and political meetings were also held there, as it stood near the center o·f the town. The brick Congregational Church was not built at Ham­ mond's Corners till 1804, several years later.) The earliest rise of Methodism in America. Rev. Thos. Coke, LL. D., first Bishop of the M. E. Church, bn. in 174 7, died in 1814. A Presbyter of the Church of England arrives in America, Nov. 3, 1784. He summoned all the Methodist preachers to meet him in Baltimore, Md., Dec. 25, 1784, and on that day the lVIethodist Episcopal Church is founded with Dr. Coke and Francis Asbury, first Methodist Bishop in America, 1745- 1816,. as superintendents.

Beaumont B. Bnck, Distinguished American General in "lf orld War. Major-General Beaumont B. Buck,· bn. Jan. 16, 1860 (son of Prof. J. G. H. Buck of Mahew, Miss., son of Wiley Buck, merchant of Carthage, Ala., son of James Buck of Newbern, N. C., first settler, p. 121 of Book). Moved with ,his parents to Texas when a boy and was appointed to Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1880, where he graduated and commissioned 2d lieutenant of the 16th Inft., June 14, 1885, and was promoted to 1st lieutenant May 4, 1889, and captain Mar. 2, 1892. Later he aided in making: a geodetic survey of both ·Sides of the Rio Grande, "N. M., and since served at home and abroad. He has been an officer in the 9th, 13th and 23d Regiments of Infantry. He has been stationed at Fort Douglas, Utah, and at Fort McIntosh, Texas. On three oeca-sions he has been sent with commissions to Chin~ Japan and Russia. His wonder­ ful linguistic ability secured for him a place on these commissions; besides English he speaks Spanish, French and the Tagalog dialect of the Philippines and can carry on a fairly good conversation in Japanese and Chinese. He served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War as major with the 2d Texas Infantry, from May 13 to Nov. 9, 1898, and performed some notable feats there. When ex-President Taft was Governor­ ·General of the Philippines, he was appointed Governor of the Province of Luzon, on the Island of Luzon. Everywhere he served his reeord was a brilliant one. He was pro­ moted to major, Regular Army, on June 25, 1908, and was graduated from the Army War College in 1909 and was detailed as an adjutant-general, , July 13, 1910 to July 1, 1912. He was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of infantry, Apr. 28, 1914, and colonel, July 1, 1916. When the United States entered the European war and General Pershing was selecting: his first expeditionary forces, he was made colonel of the 28th Inft., and in France a brigadier of the National Army, Sept. 3, 1917; and finally received the nomina­ tion of major-general by President Wilson, Aug. 22, 1918, and appointment through the recommendations of General Pershing and superior officers, confirmed Aug. 26, 1918, as commander of 2cl Infantry Brigade, and since has received the distinguished service cross for gallantry in action, viz.: Before and during the attack on Berzy-Ie-Sec, France, .July 21, 1918, he displayed conspicuous gallantry and heroic leadership of his command. When m.ost of the officers of his brigade had fallen, General Buck with contempt of personal danger and in spite of heavy artillery bombardment and machine gun fire, traversed the front of his advancing forces, gave correct directions to his organization -commanders and led the first wave of the culminating attack which stormed and captured the town.

In the final advance, on the 6th'··of Nov., a Division of the 1st Corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite Sedan, 25 miles from our line of departure in our 47 days of battle (p. 222). On Oct. 4th (p. 220) the 1st Corps advance for over 2 miles along the irregular valley of the Aire River and the wooded hills of the Argonne that bordered the river, _used by the enemy, ·striving to hold every foot of ground and whose counter attacks challenged us at every P.oint. On the 7th of Oct., the 1st Corps .captured Chatel Cherrey and continued along the rjver to Cornay. On the east side 119 SUPPLEMENT-BUCK HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. of the Meuse sector, one of the two Divisions cooperating with the French, captured Consenvoye and the Haugemont Woods. On the 10th was cleared the Argonne Forest of the enemy and later the 1st Corps took Champigneulles and the important town of Grandpre. Oct. 10th the 1st Corps reached Cornay, La Bassone Ridge and passed Maba.ssise farm east of Grand Ham (Chronology, p. 606). Nov. 6th our troops of the 1st Corps continued their -successful advance, forcing the enemy to retire. The towns of Flabus, Raucourt, Haraucourt and A.utreeourt were taken and passed on to the Meuse. Large quantities of material were captured during the advance. Nov. 11th at 11 o~clock, the Armistice took place and ceased hostilities. In the Argonne sector the 1st Corps from Varquoes to Vienne le-Chateau, with the 35th, 28th and 77th Divisions in line and the ·92d Division in corps reserve (p. 294).

Oet. 17 to Nov. 11, 1918. At a most critical time by his splendid judgment and energetic action his division was able to carry to a success­ ful conclusion the operations at Clair Hill and at Hill 294 and, finally, on recovery, recalled home and ordered to take command in the United States on the Mexican border, Larades district, with headquarters at Fort McIntosh, in conjunction with Major-General Joseph T.

A GALL.ANT SOLDIER.

Capt. McDonald's Remarkable Record on Foreign Fields. Schroon Lake, Sept. 17, 1923.-Capt. and Mrs. John A. McDonald are returning to his military post at Norfolk, Va., after spending his f:urlough with Mrs. Mc-Donald's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mackenzie of Grove Point, Schroon Lake, N. Y. Capt. McDonald has a :remarkable military record, having seen twenty-six: years of service in the U. S. Army. He first enlisted with the U. S. Marines, Jan. 4, 1899. His ·first foreign service was in the Philippines. He was wounded in China in 1900. during the Boxer Rebellion and was in that famous expedition in Samar, Philippine Islands, in 1902 and was lost with forty other men in the wilderness for seventeen days, twelve of those days without food or water; the majority of those men lived on nerve. Five went totally insane and two blind. The survivors lost from thirty-five to forty pounds. He went back to the Philippines in 1904 and to Cuba in 1906. He served on numerous battle ships and was in the Vera Cruz, Mexico, occupation in 1914. Capt. McDonald served overseas for two and one-half years with the famous Princess Pat Regiment, made up mostly of Canadians of all classes, during the years of 1915-1916 when the Germans were strongest and did their best to capture Paris. He served in all the engagements in which the regiment participated and was wounded .three times by machine and shell fire. He was commissioned on the field .for bravery and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Belgian Cross and the Croix de Guerre. He re­ turned to the United States three months previous to this country entering the World Conflict and re-enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps. He was made captain July 16, 1917. After returning from France in 1917, he tried very hard to go back with the Marine Corps, but was not permitted to do so on account of being incapacitated for further service in the field. Capt. MeDonald was at the front during the Battle of Ypres ( the Marne) which lasted for one hundred and twenty days of continuous firing, day and night, with orders to "Stand or die." In this battle one million allied forces and approximately two- million Germans were engaged. In one day alone the allied forces, consisting of English troops, Canadians, Australians and French lost alone, one hundred and twenty thousand. The losses on the German side were much greater. On the ground on which this battle was fought stands a monument erected in honor of the Canadian troops who "Stood and died that Germany should not pass." Capt. McDonald has been around the world and has seen about all the interesting countries, has served three years in China and Japan, three years in the Philippines, two years in Panama, and two years in Cuba and other places. His_ last foreign service was in the Dominican Republic. Mrs. McDonald served with Capt. McDonald in the Dominican Republic and adapted herself to all the conditions in the tropics. NWE. Capt. McDonald's wife was a dau. of Wm. A. and Adeline (Russell) Mackenzie of Grove Point Schroqn Lake. Mrs. Mackenzie was the dau. c·f Paris S. and Almedia (Buck) Russell of Schroon Lake, N. Y. Mrs. Russell was the dau. c·f Col. Hiram and Almedia (Rawson) Buck of Crown Point, N. Y. (seep. 66 of Buck Hist. and Gen.).

THE DEPOT BRIGADE. I went to join the army, thought 'twas mighty fine To be a gory hero in the very first line. To mess around with hand grenades !'t would be amazing fine, To jab a hungry bayonet into a howling Hein To get my right arm shot in two and lose my eagle eye And hang my spinal cord on a barbed wire fence to dry. King George would come to greet me and take me back to Blighty And pin a colored ribbon on my pretty little nighty. The~ when the war was over, with all deeds bewilderin~ rd scare into conniption fits my children's ehildren·s children. And so I came to Upton, the weather went to zero, And underneath the shower bath I hardly looked the hero. They stuck me in the kitchen, I mounted guard all night; And I was such an Ichabod, my clothes lhey looked a fright. I scrubbed the hall a dozen times and finished up the floor. The corporal he came along and said "Now scrub some more.'' They bawled me out at reveille, they nagged me at retreat, They made remarks I really think rd better not repeat. But worst of all their insults, alas, the sorry trade~ They turned at last and stuck me in-the Depot Brigade. Now all the friends I ever had are :fighting Huns in France, They've raised Old Glory to the winds in Pershing's great advance; They·ve died in German dugouts, they've given lives to save Some other wounded fellow from a muddy Flanders grave. They·ve swept like eagles through the sky and won the Cross of War. Their youth is like a flaming sword, their fate a falling star. But I am here in Upton; God knows how long rn stay. I search the printed list of dead with growing dread each day, For when the war is over and all of history made They'll say '.~He stayed in Upton in the 152nd Depot Brigade.'~

"THE BRIDGE Bu--rLDER." An old man, traveling a lone highway, Came at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm deep and wide. The old. man crossed in a twilight dim, For the sullen stream held no fear for him, For he turned when he reached the other side, And builded a bridge to span the tide. "Old man,'~ cried a fellow pilgrim near "You are wasting your strength with building here. Your journey will end ·with the ending day And you never again will pass this way. 122 Corp. Lou-i.~ Buck. Art. Bat. D, 59, 0. A. O. in Prance.

You have crossed the chasm deep and wide Why build a bridge at eventide?~' And the builder raised his old gray head, "Good friend, on the path I have come/' he said,. "There followeth after me today A youth whose feet will pass this way. This stream which has been naught to me, To that fair-haired boy may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building this bridge for him_" -Reprinted from The Nation's Business, 1922.

"A Jlother Speaks" and "Temples Not ]lade With Hands" (Poetry).

THE MOTHER SPEAKS. POETRY, 1850.

By Geraldine Stockvis. "TEMPLES NOT MADE WITH HANDS." 0 little son upon my knee, 'Tis not in temples made with hands, Thou art my immortality! The great Creator dwells; But on the mountain top he stands, And my blood, when I am gone, And in the lowly dell; In thy warm veins shall still run on. Wherever fervent prayer is heard, He stands, recording every word; When you look into my eyes, In dell, on mountain, everywhere, With that air of calm surmise, He never fails to answer prayer. When your eager lips are pressed Yes-in the poor man~s lowly stall Closely to my offered breast, And in the pris~ners" cells, - And in the rich man's lordly ha~ Then a Godlike joy I· know, The Great Creator dwells; Which. Death itself can't overthrow!' Where two or three are joined in prayer, But Time, which knows. nsr rest ·nor pause, His A'.udienee-Hall,. His Honse is there. -Wherever prays the child- -of grace Moves on, nor halts :f-0r :any ~ cause,~: . Is ·His peculiar dwelling place. And this, my flesh,. wh~~h·. bu.t"·elay,. i~ Think yon that temples built of stone,. Ere long to dust must fall away, And blessed by· priestly hand,. And of my body there shall be Ar~ more peculiarly-His own, Nothing save a m·emory. More reverence demand? Go _:to thy closet. Shut the door, Yet in thy flesh, and in thy mind,· And". all thy mercies ponder o'er. Something of ,me is left behind . -. . Thine all-pervading God is there: He loves .to answer secret prayer. What time the wintry days have passed, And lovely Spring hath come at last, The temple- thy Creator owns, That temple is the heart: My he~rt in your heart will rejoice,. No towering pile of costly stones, And you will laugh with merry voice; N.or any work of art, The cloud-capt spite,. that points on high, Then you will sigh, remembering: May_draw lightning from the sky; ~-My dead Mother loved· the Spring!'" But 'tis the humble modest flower, And when ·your children come to be, That drinks in the refreshing shower; And they sit upon your knee, And in return for favors given,. It breathes its fragrance back to heaven . .And look at you with calm surmise- I shall look at you through their eyes. Some cling to Prelates!'- surplice strings, Vl e bow to no created things: O little son upon my knee. One, God we worship; one alone! Thou art my immortality! Earth is His footstool, Heaven His throne.
