An Address Delivered before the New York Genealogical and Biograph- ical Society, Oct. o.th, 1S91. By Gen. Jas. Grant Wilson. With four illustrations. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : Among the many hundred thousand Huguenot fugitives driven from the fair fields of France by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and by the bitter religious persecutions which preceded that barbarous Jesuit edict of October 25th, 1685,* were large numbers who fled, as the Pilgrim Fathers had done, to Holland : others sought refuge in the New World, saying, with the saintly Quarles, " I'll ne'er distrust my God for cloth and bread, While lilies flourish, and the ravens fed." Their descendants were such men as John Bayard, Elias Boudinot, James Bowdoin, Henry Laurens, Peter Faneuil, Bishops Provoost and De Lancey, and, greatest of them all, Chief-Justice Jay, whose reputa- tion as a sincere patriot was second only to that of Washington, and of whom Webster beautifully said, " When the spotless ermine of the judi- cial robe fell on John Jay. it touched nothing less spotless than itself." The expatriated French Huguenots were heroes of the highest type, and worthy peers of that noble band of English Pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Rock more than two and a half centuries ago. The intermar- riage of these two races has given to our country some of her noblest citizens. To mention a single instance, I would name my venerable friend Robert C. Winthrop, an honored Vice-President for Massachusetts of the Huguenot Society. * Authorities disagree as to the number of Huguenots, or French Protestants who "kept the faith," and who were driven from their native land by the arbitrary and injudicious act of Louis XIV. Sismondi places it at between three and four hundred thousand, Voltaire at half a million, and many German and other writers estimate, the number as high as eight hundred thousand. Of these Holland received the largest portion, the others being divided among the German States, England, Ireland, Switzeiland, and America. A few Huguenots sought refuge in Russia and in Scan- dinavia. Addison, in the Spectator, alludes to these ancient Protestant worthies who sought safety and shelter in England, and speaks of the "engaging joyousness of the gentle strangers." Of this act of folly Mr. T. F. Bayard writes, " The Edict of Octo- ber, 16S5, is styled in the body of the instrument a revocation of the Edict of Nantes, but that is a dishonest misnomer of one of the most diabolical documents of recorded history. As blind as it was cruel, and stupid as it was suicidal, it inflicted a stagger- ing blow to France, from the effects of which that country has never ceased to suffer, and linked the name of Louis XIV. with infamy and disgrace forever." 2 J'«fge Bayard's London Diarv 0/ 1793-96. [Jan.. For more than two centuries the belief has prevailed among the Bay- ards of America that they are descended from the famous French family of Dauphine which gave to the world one of the most beautiful characters mentioned in modern history. This is, however, merely a pleasing tradi- tion of which thus far we have no documentary proof. Of Samuel Bay- ard, who married Anna Stuyvesant, little was known until two summers ago, beyond the fact that he was a wealthy merchant of Amsterdam who died prior to the spring of 1647, when his widow with her three sons and a daughter came to this country in company with her brother Peter Stuyvesant. The Governor had previously married Judith, the sister of Samuel Bayard, so that they were doubly brothers-in-law. While travelling in Holland in 1875, I made efforts to trace the ancestors of the Amster- dam merchant, but they were attended with the same lack of success which had met many similar efforts made by members of the family, and chiefly by Richard Henry Bayard, American Minister to Belgium during the administration of Millard Fillmore. In July, 1889, being again in Holland, I resumed my quest. It affords me very great pleasure to announce that my efforts were at length attended with partial success. Something more is now known of Samuel Bayard and who two genera- tions of his ancestors were, so that we at present possess the family gen- ealogy for upwards of three hundred years, a highly respectable antiquity for the New World if not for the Old, where I was in September, 1889, with a member of my family, the guest of a nobleman whose ancestors had lived on the same spot for a thousand years ! Lord Tollemache occupied an ancient castle surrounded by a double moat, the drawbridges are raised every night precisely as they were in the days of Richard the Lion-hearted, and when I asked him if his ancestor came over with William the Con- queror, the proud old patrician of over four-score contemptuously replied, " No, my family were here two hundred years before the Norman bastard " * was born ! The father of Samuel Bayard was the Reverend Lazare Bayard, a Huguenot clergyman of distinction, who in 1607 married Judith Beyens, of a noble Belgian family originally from North Brabant. He was educated at Leyden, and his first church was at Breda, where his eldest child Judith, and his eldest son, Samuel, were born. The family consisted of seven children, f The father of Lazare was Nicholas, an eminent Huguenot professor and doctor of divinity in charge of the French church * Lord Tollemache, of Helmingham Castle, near Ipswich, in the County of Suf- folk, was born December 5th, 1805, and died, since the date of my visit in the sum- mer of iSSg, at another of his seats known as Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, Decem- ber gth, 1S9O. He was buried in the beautiful family chapel at Helmingham (six of his sons and six of the tenantry acting as pall-bearers) and by the side of his gallant kinsman General Talmash, who, says Macaulay, "perished by the basest of all the hundred villanies of Marlborough." Lord Tollemache, at thirty, was considered the best whip and the handsomest man of his time. In later life he was active in public affairs, and admittedly the model farmer of England. He was twice married, and had perhaps the most patriarchal family of tne period—twenty-three sons and a daughter ! Lord Tollemache travelled in this country in 1850, and was entertained at the White House by General Taylor, also receiving much attention from Daniel Webster, who made his acquaintance during his visit to Europe in 1S39. fjudith baptized 16 November, 160S.

  • A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS of RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH By
    A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH by LAMONT D. ANTIEAU (Under the Direction of William A. Kretzschmar, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation describes a study in linguistic geography conducted in Colorado using the methodology of the Linguistic Atlas of the Western States. As such, the goals of this dissertation are threefold: 1) to provide a description of Colorado English with respect to select lexical, phonetic, and syntactic features; 2) to compare the results of work in Colorado with previous work conducted in the eastern states as well as in Colorado and other western states; and 3) to use inferential statistics to show correlation between the distribution of specific linguistic variants and the social characteristics of those informants who use these variants. The major findings of this study include the observation that linguistic variants are distributed according to a power law, that numerous variants have statistically significant social correlates at all levels of the grammar, and that the relative effect of social variables differ at each linguistic level.

The Editor of the Souvenir has had occasion to remark in previous editions that each Legislature has some peculiar characteristic to distinguish it from all others It fell to the lot of the Legislature of 1898, for the first time in over 30 years, or the usuil span of a generation, to make war preparations and to discuss war measures. The breaking out of the war with Spain found our Legislature rjady to do its part promptly and patriotically. With absolute unanimity and no more delay than was necessary for the making of the proper motions and the sig- nature of the bill by Governor Wolcott, the whole transaction occupying less than half an hour, the war appropriation of half a million dollars was voted ; and in the Senate the enactment of the measure was greeted with three cheers. No partisan discussion but patriotic action marked every measure of similar import. But this Souvenir is not intended as a record of what was done.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.
