    THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM WHITE, OF HAVERHILL, MASS. GENEALOGICAL NOTICE·S BY HON. DANIEL APPLETON WHITE. ADDITIONAL GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES BY ANNIE FRANCES RICHARDS. TOGETHER WITH PORTRAITS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. AMERICAN PRINTING AND ENGRAVING COMPANY, BOSTON, MASS. BY THE N.,.~l\1E OF \/\'HITE. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. JUDGE WHITE warmly loved the memory of his pious ancestry, and spared no pains to gather whatever information could be obtained co~cerning them and their descendants. Among his papers was one entitled "William White· of Haverhitl, Mass., and Descendants, 1640-1853." Of this, with some additions from his copies, for the use of such members of the family as may be inter­ ested in the subject. In explanation of the fact that much of the genealogical matter contained in the following pages is similar in form to portions of the "Genealogies and History of Watertown," by Henry Bond, M. D., of Philadelphia, published in 1855, it should be s~ated that the materials for those portions of Dr. Bond's valuable work were furnished by Judge White, from the abundant material which he had collected during his researches concerning his family history. H. W. F. [ 1863.J PREFACE. In 1887 Mr. Joseph C. White, of Bangor, Me., the only surviv­ ing grandchild of Timothy White, a " book-seller of Boston " and a descendant of William White, of Haverhill, deplored the meagre information possessed by his generation in regard to the family history. His niece, whom he was visiting, having a copy of the "Genealogies and History of Watertown," promised to have re­ printed, for the benefit of Timothy's numerous descendants, that part of the work relating to William White.

SALTONSTALL PREFACE Tm pedigree of the family of Saltonstall in England and America has long been known in a general way to genealo­ gists, but its history in a connected form has never been fully presented. The deep interest which I feel in the preservation of its record, and the care I have taken to obtain information, induced me to attempt the compilation of the work herewith presented. Long-continued illness has prevented more ex­ haustive research, but I trust that what is here shown will prove satisfactory and instructive to those who value descent from so long a line of worthy ancestors. For information concerning the earlier generations of the family of Saltonstall I have taken the accounts given in the following works : " History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax in Yorkshire," by Rev. John Watson, 1775; Whit­ aker's Thoresby's " History of Leeds ; " Morant's " History of Essex ; ,, Lipscomb's" History of Buckinghamshire ; " Baker's " History of Northamptonshire ; " Clutterbuck's " History of Hertfordshire; " Heralds' Visitations of Yorkshire, 1612, of Hertfordshire, of Essex, and of Suffolk; Harleian and Lans­ downe MSS.; Ayscough's MSS.; Hopkinson's MSS.; Davy's MSS. of Suffolk pedigrees; and investigations made for me in 1853 by H. G. Somerby in the Prerogative Courts of York and Canterbury, and in the Parish Records of Hali­ fax, York, and many other places. The history of the New England families has been drawn from colonial records, private manuscripts, local histories, Massachusetts Historical Society's Collections, New England iv PREFACE Historic Genealogical Society's Collections, Bond's " GeneaJo.

In the process, he stimulated personal and social renewal among hundreds of thousands of men and women all over the world. His astonishing spiritual and moral influence turned up in surprising places-from the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous in the US to the rise of black nationalist independence movements in Africa; from friendships with Thomas Edison and Rudyard Kipling to the lives of great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jomo Kenyatta, and Harry Truman. Sun Yat-sen said of him: "Buchman is the only man who tells me the truth about myself."

  • The Impact of the Web on the Business Of
    RUTGERS LAW RECORD Volume 29 Spring 2005 Number 21 “A SUGGESTION OF A FUNDAMENTAL NATURE”: IMAGINING A LEGAL EDUCATION OF SOLELY ELECTIVES TAUGHT AS DISCUSSIONS By Christophe G. Courchesne * Article Abstract The article offers a proposal for reforming American legal education. Commentary about legal education is rich with sharp criticism of the dominant model for law schools, a set of institutions and pedagogical assumptions that date to the nineteenth- century innovations of Harvard Law School Dean Christopher Columbus Langdell. The picture of modern legal education that emerges from these commentaries is one of missed intellectual opportunities, student disengagement and passivity, hostility to women and minorities, and declining academic rigor. Unfortunately, most of the literature either stops short of prescribing specific solutions or descends into a vague incrementalism, failing to come to a complete reckoning with the extent of the identified problems in law schools still operating within Langdell’s paradigm. Yet, the article argues, no matter how unlikely any particular proposal’s adoption, the legal academy should not shrink from taking steps to reform itself at least as bold as Langdell’s own “big ideas.” Aiming to improve law student outcomes and invigorate the process of legal education with the intellectual energy that it now tends to lack, the article describes a dramatic alternative to Langdell’s law school. In short, the proposal calls for discarding Langdell’s pedagogy and his architecture in favor of oval wooden tables, uniformly smaller classes of about twelve students, and complete freedom of curricular choice for students during all three years. Recalling the history and * Law Clerk, Justice Robert J.
