The publication of a "Life of J. Feniuiore Cooper" has drawn con- siderable attention to that already justly celebrated author. The work, while commencing in a strain rather commendatory of the graceful and natural novelist, becomes toward the middle and conclusion not only acrimoniously critical but is found to contain, here and there, quite a tinge of bitterness. Nor is this work calculated to advance the dignity of one of the greatest American authors and certainly one of the sub- stantial foundation-stones upon which the fair superstructure of American literature so securely rests. We think that Prof. Lounsbury would have shown better taste only to have referred to the disagreements between the novelist and the press in a general way, instead of dealing so minutely with all the unjust and violent remarks that were made in the heat of battle. The result of the repetition of these has been to give rise to false im- pressions of Cooper's origin and antecedents, two very important ingre- dients in any man's biography, and leads to the opinion that Mr. Cooper had a reprehensible weakness for an ancestry which he could not claim, and that so abjectly miserable was the condition of the stock from which he sprang that he was unable, or, as it is more unkindly conjectured, unwill- ing to name his own grandfather ! Now, first of all let it be understood that Cooper came of the ordinary "good" American family. Let us get rid at once of the incorrect notion that he did not. Instead of having come from such gross obscurity James Fenimore Cooper was descended in the fourth generation, from (i) James Cooper, of Stratford-upon Avon, Warwickshire, England, who was born in 1661, and "in 1683 bought a lot on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia (oppo- site the marble Custom House)," and who was identified with various pur- chases of land.

JRMMRA 9 (1988) The Elizabethan Diplomatic Service by F. Jeffrey Platt Northern Arizona University The critical early years of Elizabeth's reign witnessed a watershed in European history. The 1559 Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis, which ended the long Hapsburg-Valois conflict, resulted in a sudden shift in the focus of international politics from Italy to the uncomfortable proximity of the Low Countries. The arrival there, 30 miles from England's coast, in 1567, of thousands of seasoned Spanish troops presented a military and commer­ cial threat the English queen could not ignore. Moreover, French control of Calais and their growing interest in supplanting the Spanish presence in the Netherlands represented an even greater menace to England's security. Combined with these ominous developments, the Queen's excommunica­ tion in May 1570 further strengthened the growing anti-English and anti­ Protestant sentiment of Counter-Reformation Europe. These circumstances, plus the significantly greater resources of France and Spain, defined England, at best, as a middleweight in a world dominated by two heavyweights.

Several years ago the writer obtained possession of a package of old deeds and other original documents relating to descendants of John Lawrence of Wisset, Eng., who were among the early settlers in Middlesex County, Mass. The interest awakened by an exami- nation of these papers led to a study of the family history, and especially that of the first five generations in America ; and in this little volume are given the results of these researches. Absolute accuracy in a work of this kind is hardly to be attained. The incompleteness of many town and church records, the frequent changes of residence of individuals, and the confusion arising from a repetition of certain Christian names, — these are am.ong the hinderances well-known to the student of family history. The writer will, therefore, be glad to be informed of any errors or omissions which may be discovered. It is fitting that due acknowledgment should be made to the Hon.

    Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011

    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

E. MILLARD, D.D. f J ïntrotmctíom THE Family of Buckler is of Norman origin, from Rouen and its vicinity, where the name is preserved in Ecclesiastical Records of early date. The surname was one easily Anglicised, and variously spelt Bucler, Boclar, Bokeler, Bukeler, Boucler, Buckler, and in English signifies a shield. The Bucklers appear to have settled in Hampshire soon after the Norman Conquest, and subsequently in Dorsetshire, where they were located at the time of the Heralds' Visitations in 1565 and 1623, about which period a younger branch was firmly established at Warminster in the county of Wilts. In a beautiful valley on the banks of the Beaulieu river or Boldre Water is Buckler's hard, a populous village, principally inhabited by workmen employed in shipbuilding. Many frigates and men-of-war have been built there, the situation being very convenient for the purpose, and the tide forming a fine bay at high water. The word hard signifies a causeway made upon the mud for the purpose of landing. ('Beauties of England and Wales.')

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROVIDED SCHOOLING FOR WORKING CIASS CHILDREN IN BIRMINGHAM 1781-1851 Michael Brian Frost Submitted for the degree of Laster of Letters School of History, Faculty of Arts, University of Birmingham, 1978.

SYNOPSIS This thesis considers the development of 'provided 1 schooling for working class children in Birmingham between 1781 and 1851. The opening chapters critically examine the available statistical evidence for schooling provision in this period, suggesting how the standard statistical information may be augmented, and then presenting a detailed chronology of schooling provision and use. The third chapter is a detailed survey of the men who were controlling and organizing schooling during the period in question. This survey has been made in order that a more informed examination of the trends in schooling shown by the chronology may be attempted. The period 1781-1851 is divided into three roughly equal periods, each of which parallels a major initiative in working class schooling; 1781-1804 and the growth of Sunday schools, 1805-1828 and the development of mass day schooling through monitorial schools, and 1829- 1851 and the major expansion of day schooling.

[email protected] Revised June 14, 2013 The Record, published quarterly since 1870 by the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, is the second-oldest genealogical journal in the nation. Its contents include many articles concerning families outside of the state of New York. As this file was created for my own use a few words about the format of the entries are in order. The entries are listed by Record volume. Each volume is preceded by the volume number and year in boldface. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 4, will illustrate the format used: 4 (1873):32-39, 94-98, 190-194 (Cont. from 3:190, cont. to 5:38) Records of the Society of Friends of the City of New York and Vicinity, from 1640 to 1800 Abraham S. Underhill The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the Record pages for an article found in that volume.
