    THE CLEMENS AMERICAN MARRIAGE RECORDS, Vol. 3. EARLY MARRIAGE RECORDS OF THE FOX FAMILY IN THE UNITED STATF.S Official and Authoritative Records of Fox Marriages in the Original States and Colonies frorn 1628 to 1865 Edited by WILLIAM MONTGOMERY CLEMENS First Edition <Limitecl) 1916 WILLIAM M. CLEMENS Publisher 56 and 58 Pine St., New York "Marriage is the root of every genealogical tree." -Clemens. PREFACE The early Fox marriages in this vofome have been collected from state, county, city, town and church rP.cnrd!t throughout the country, and many of the marriages are here published for the first time. The entries herein are arranged by states and by first name alphabetically, for quick and easy reference. Many marriages have been omitted from these records owing to a lack of dates or localities, as these uncertain facts only lead to confusion and disappointment in the working out of genealogical pedigrees. That John Fox married Jane Smith at some unknown date at an unknown place are records of small value. All spellings such as Fox, Foxe, etc., are included in this volume, and the records herein are authoritative and reliable. Readers and members of the Fox family in America are invited to contribute to the editor, omissions and corrections for future etlitions. W. M. C.

In these days, when books multiply and men decay, it becomes more than ever the duty of editors to provide some apology for the appearance of a new volume. Since, however, the vogue of the historical school and of popular science makes explanation consist in a r^sum^ of the origin rather than a defence of the end, our task is considerably lightened. The writers of these Essays were drawn together in the political debates and the contested elections of the Oxford Union Society. To that society, and to the stimulating discussions of the Palmerston and Russell Clubs, we owe a common debt of gratitude.

  • 336. CHAPTER FOURTEEN the Manchester Model Secular School
    336. CHAPTER FOURTEEN The Manchester Model Secular School 1. Founding the school The Manchester Model Secular School, opened in August 1854 by leading N.S.P.A. members, was not just a remark- able local venture in giving a first class education free to the lower working class but a clever device intended to drive a wedge into the Privy Council system of grants which was amajor support of denominational schools, especially those of the Church of England. The wedge was an indirect means of opening the way for rate funded schools which was blocked at the legislative level. If its aims had been purely local, Cobden would not have been involved himself so fully in its establishment. The grand strategy was probably his, as had been that of the Manchester Society in 1837. There were several reasons why many N.P.S.A. members were drawn to the idea of founding a school in the summer of 1853. The Select Committee had resulted in neither government action nor agreement with the M.S.C. There was a need, in the doldrums of educational progress, to engage in new activity in order to keep up enthusiasm and cohesion. Lord Russell's remark to the N.P.S.A. deputa- tion on 3 June 1853 - attended by Cobden - that the association had not given any practical example of secular education, was suggestive in the prevailing mood. The allegation of working class indifference to day schools needed to be refuted. It must be shown that there was 337. a big potential working class demand for day schools providing an education which really helped their children to get on in life.

Holloway, American Theological Library Association Abstract The marriage of archaeological referencing and picture Bibles in the nineteenth century resulted in an astonishing variety of guises worn by the court of Ahasuerus in Esther. Following the exhibition of Neo-Assyrian sculpture in the British Museum and the wide circulation of such images in various John Murray publications, British illustrators like Henry Anelay defaulted to Assyrian models for kings and rulers in the Old Testament, including the principal actors in Esther, even though authentic Achaemenid Persian art had been available for illustrative pastiche for decades.
