The names of these assistants are to be found on almost practical every page ; these are the real supporters of a periodical whose Editor fears that because his pages are rigidly limited by the length of his subscribers' list, he has too often tried their patience and put some tension on their loyalty. We have, in the first place, seen through the press some 368 pp. of authenticated genealogies and family history. There have been printed the pedigrees, some long and some short, of about 140 families matter, for the most part, that could not be found even after most search that elsewhere, diligent ; cannot as a whole be or that has superseded reprinted ; resulted, in almost every case, in the contributor adding to his fund of information : for the advantage of printing what you do know cuts both ways while preserving the result of your laborious investigations you widen your knowledge by coming into contact with others interested in the same families as yourself. The "leading articles" on various classes of records and the varied experiences of genealogical inquirers, and the section devoted to "Notes, Queries, and Replies" have proved service- " it is while the series of Female able, hoped ; Descents," which we shall continue, has opened up vistas, not only of the most profound human interest, but of scientific value from the point of view of the student of Eugenics. Our study is the study of life itself; upon "documents" we have to rely for the knowledge of every episode preceding our own limited experience : all social progress essentially depends upon tradition and writing. PREFACE The interests of genealogists are served by one thing alone: the accumulation and indexing of documentary evidence. It is the business of a genealogical periodical to print what is best of this, and to take the inquirer gently by the hand, leading him to the place where he shall find what he may be looking for. Its part is to consolidate and guide divergent interests : to irrigate the whole field rather than let the flood of knowledge gather into stagnant pools. A natural corollary to all publications is a Collection of MSS. But documentary evidence can be accumulated at a much faster rate than funds to print it become available. In The Pedigree Register COLLECTION OF MSS. a mass of unprinted material is deposited at the office and is at the disposal of subscribers. It forms a Nucleus to which additions are con- stantly being made, and a stream of genealogical evidence thus passes before the Editor and his assistants to be indexed and - filed for future reference. Let us quote Mr. Thomas HARDY on the subject to which this periodical is devoted : " Pedigrees . arranged in diagrams . mostly appear at first sight to be as barren of any touch of nature as a table or logarithms. But given a clue the faintest tradition of what went on behind the scenes, and this dryness as of dust may be transformed into a palpitating drama. More, the careful comparison of dates alone that of birth, or death with a kindred marriage, birth, or death will often effect the same transformation, and anybody practised in raising images from finds himself such genealogies unconsciously filling into the framework the motives, passions, and personal qualities which would appear to be the single explanation possible of some extraordinary conjunction in times, events, and personages that occasionally marks these reticent family records." to This really seems adequate explain the purpose of our existence. G. S. The Pedigree Register JUNE, 1907] [No. i '0 Jl3ote [In genealogy the Pedigree is the thing. There are several magazines printing pedigree material. It is thought that one devoted almost wholly to Pedigrees will be welcomed. The College of Arms, in common with some of the Courts of Law, is authorized to enroll facts and to keep a record of the pedigrees or parts of the pedigrees of the King's subjects. THE PEDIGREE REGISTER must not be accused of encroaching upon this pre- rogative. Its aim will be directed towards faithfully preserving facts and traditions, but it has, of course, no official sanction or countenance. That periodicals devoted to genealogy languish under a feeble circulation is unhappily true. Still, it is hoped that the interest of the material to be printed in THE PEDIGREE REGISTER, the importance of preserving it from loss, and the need of an obvious and easily accessible place where it can be recorded and referred to, will induce all who may be interested in a fascinating study to feel that they cannot do without it : "... because of Lineage, and because The soil and memories out of mind Embranch and broaden all mankind." The Loan Collection of old Deeds and Papers is a novel experi- ment the success of which will do something to advance the study, and attention is called to another enterprise that promises to be of " great assistance, The International Genealogical Directory," about to be published by Mr. Charles A. Bernau, of Walton-on- Thames, in which all who are interested are invited to enter their names and those of the families whose histories they may be pursuing.] G. F. T. S.
