This trial account reflects contemporary anxiety about ether, which was used for the first time in 1846. Narcissa Mudge claimed she was raped by her dentist, Dr. Beale while unconscious from ether during a procedure. Beale was convicted. This account of the trial is written by someone who characterizes the dentist as an innocent victim. He argues that Mudge's accusation was based on false memory, a side-effect induced by ether. His case is supported by the testimony concerning the effects of ether by a group of dentists and other authorities. Bibliography of Early American Law 13774.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states.

PREFACE. THE present work was begun in 1879 at the solicita- tion of Morris K. Jesup, Esq., of New York city, and has been prosecuted during intervals of leisure up to the date of publication, a period of nearly eight years. The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in simi- lar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrange- ment, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessing at probabilities, have in- volved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost with- out number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa, — records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States ; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible.

To that end an Historical Committee was chosen, consisting of five members of the Association ; and the duty of selecting an historian was dele gated to it. Subsequently the committee made choice of the undersigned. For the honor conferred upon me I heartily thank my comrades, although I think that their choice might have been better placed. Th^re are many in the regiment more competent to perform the duty than myself; yet I can say, however, that I believe there is no one more earnestly desirous that the story of the great trials, hardships, and almost unexampled heroism of those three eventful j*ears from 1861 to '64 shall be told to the public of to-day and succeeding generations. Neither is there one more anxious that justice be done to each and every member of the regiment. In commencing my work, I issued a circular, asking the assist ance of comrades, and also calling for diaries, memoranda, and material of any kind, from which to construct my story.

Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.

Coll.: Gordon Lesley Ford (1823-1891), to persons unknown, to donor c. 1989. Exhibitions: Brooklyn Art Association, 1872. Daniel Webster, the great orator and statesman, began his first term in the United States Congress in 1813, the year before he was elected to membership in the recently founded American Antiquarian Society. At his death, Webster was remembered in the annals of the Society for his scholarship and intellect: ‘Mr. Webster was one of the earliest members of this Society. The services, which, as a statesman, he rendered to his country and the world will be those which most frequently commemorate him. But, at the same time, students and mean of letters will remember that, with all the vigor of his mind, he was a laborious student, and that his labors as a statesman have been permanent and invaluable gifts to English literature.’1 Webster was born in Salisbury, New Hampshire, and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1801. He practiced law in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, married Grace Fletcher2 in 1808, and, after delivering several rousing orations on democracy and patriotism, became interested in politics. Webster served two terms as a United States Congressman and, at age forty-five, was elected to the United States Senate where he earned fame for his battles against excessive tariffs, his support for states rights, and his well-honed political instincts.
