INTRODUCTORY. TN presenting this brief memoir to those of his kin who, ¦*¦ either from general interest or family pride in an hon­ orable name, desire to preserve the written and traditional records of several centuries, the writer feels it a pleasure to record the motive of its inception. To Lucy Elliot, wife of Augustus F. Smith, Esq., of New York, a woman of rare talent as well as grace of mind and manner, is due whatever of credit there may be for the accuracy and com­ pleteness of the facts and dates hereafter recited. A deep and lasting friendship having sprung" up in girlhood for her cousin, John Henry Elliot (91), of Keene, N. H., then a student at Harvard, she inspired him with a love of family history, reproaching him for his ignorance of their remote ancestry ; moved by her earn­ estness, he applied his leisure to collecting and collating facts and traditions with such success that in 1835 c issued a .pamphlet giving extended information of his own direct line and much of collateral branches from 1 the first appearance in Puritan New England of the pro­ genitor of the American stock. One of these pamphlets falling into the writer's hands in 1886, awaked in him a desire to extend it to embrace the names and records of every descendant born of the American line. While engaged in this work he developed facts con­ cerning the parent stock in England quite remarkable and most unexpected. How far back into the shadows of the past a careful and systematic search will carry the line, it is impossible to say. As yet, that most valuable source of such information, the probate and land records, are untouched. The section of England where they re­ sided, viz., Somerset, Cornwall and Devon, is reputed to be the richest in such records in the kingdom. This field of research, therefore, promises most interesting results to any one with leisure to investigate. So full and accurate have been the sources of infor­ mation opened up to the writer among our American branches, that he challenges the reader to find an impor­ tant error. He will always be pleased to correct any that may be found. His heartiest thanks are due for the aid rendered by Rev. John E. Elliott, of Bridgewater, Conn., and of dis­ tinctly different family, near and remote, whose collection 2 1 v '. of notes and pedigrees of every family of the name of Eliot, Elliot, Elliott and Eliott is the most remarkable of any family record extant. The many hundred letters received in connection with this search willultimately be filed among the archives of the New England Geneal. and Biographical Society at Boston. At his leisure, after the completion of this volume of American Eliots, the writer will issue to all who hold a copy of it a supplement, giving similar facts and histo­ rical data relative to the parent English stock, and he doubts not that it will prove of interest to all of the name. As far as possible throughout the work, the name has been spelled as the individual himself wrote it. In all doubtful cases El(l)iot. It is hoped that those living in Beverly and Salem, and who are descendants of the same man, willtake it upon themselves to examine the records in those towns and discover the descendants of the one or two members whose posterity is not given on the key chart. By send­ ing information to the writer he will do the principal part of the work in completing. The author hopes that whoever receives this volume will send him what they can to improve it for a second 3 — edition. Suggestions, facts, clippings anything of inter­ — will duly acknowledged. est be » He would feel doubly indebted if every male mem­ ber of the family given on the chart would send him his likeness, and those of his Eliot ancestors, if only as a loan. It is intended to perpetuate them by copying in miniature ten to twenty on a page by photography, after which the originals will be returned if desired, or filed with all other originals in the archives of the Mass. Gen. and Biog. Society in Boston. J^cngificeiiegs of trje c/lrrjericecr) 1527 KLIOT 557 jp^ee. It has been disappointing to find how little import­ ance has been attached to the spelling of the family name. A few branches have adhered to one orthography consistently through several generations, but by far the larger number, including the writer's immediate ances­ tor, have departed from it upon what appear to be en­ tirely insufficient grounds. It is therefore desirable that in this volume should be given the proper spelling and the authority therefor. Beginning with the original emigrant to this country, viz., Hon. Andrew (i), of Beverly, we find in his will, which is still in perfect preservation and on file in the 5 Register's office in Salem, that the name is spelled many times throughout the body of the will "Eliott." It is signed in an infirm hand, thus : [Seal.] Andrew MElliot. His mark. The diphthong and seal are by the testator himself, the latter being an impression from his ring ; but the words "Andrew Elliot" and "His mark" are in the same hand as the body of the will. The penman of the will may have been some assistant to the testator when the latter held the office of Town Clerk. Why such a per­ knowing well, have it "son, " Andrew Eliot" "should written Eliott in the will and Elliot in the signature, can only be surmised, or based upon the assumption that upon signing it for him he asked Eliot how he should " " spell the name, and wrote it Andrew Elliot by his direction. Upon this theory rests the only basis for the use of the "Elliot" orthography. On the other hand, Andrew Eliot, who was for many years Town Clerk, and who "wrote a fair hand," inva­ riably signed his name Eliott to all papers of conse­ quence, notably in the Recantation paper signed by the twelve jurors after the Salem Witchcraft Trials. His grandsons on all sides have dropped the extra "t." In the writer's mind this would seem to settle the matter 6 beyond any "possible" doubt, and he reluctantly abandons the use of Elliot as followed by his father (and by his grandfather during the latter years of his life— he, with his brother, having abandoned their father David's practice of spelling his name Eliot for that of Elliot).

I was curious when you first came to Dartmouth. That was 1940? RIESER: As an undergraduate. CARROLL: As an undergraduate. How did you choose Dartmouth? RIESER: Your question’s very perceptive, as you’ll see from your answer. It was certainly my intention to go to Harvard, and my family’s intention; and as late as July of 1940 I was sitting at the camp where I was a counselor, talking to a friend with whom I planned to room in freshman dorms. We were picking a room. And I had a phone call from my home that a telegram had come saying something about “Harvard is sorry, but your score on your recent English exam meant that you would have to wait a year to come to Harvard.” That set in motion a search for an alternative. In retrospect, I’m surprised that I wasn’t more discouraged by that, or depressed, but it’s because I really hadn’t thought much about alternatives. I may have, earlier, applied to Reed College, I don’t remember, or whether I did it then.

  • Lancashire Ills, the King's Will and the Troubling of Bishop Bridgeman
    LANCASHIRE ILLS, THE KING'S WILL AND THE TROUBLING OF BISHOP BRIDGEMAN B.W. Quintrell, M.A., Ph.D. N one of the more curious episodes of Charles I's personal I rule, bishop John Bridgeman of Chester was early in 1633 startled to find himself subjected to a vigorous local enquiry into aspects of his diocesan administration. It was undertaken without warning by royal commissioners from Westminster; and it was to be followed by months of humiliating prosecu­ tion in and out of High Commission. This rough handling of one of the more experienced of the English bishops came at a time when the High Church Charles and his prospective archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud, were intent on restoring the political standing of the Church while reforming what they regarded as the worst of its doctrinal abuses. Only three years later, Laud's efforts reached their culmination with the appointment of his ally William Juxon, bishop of London, as lord treasurer the first in holy orders since 1470.' Bridgeman, a bishop more firmly associated with the Calvinist James than with his son, was never to experience comparable elevation; but on the other hand there are no compelling grounds for supposing that he was more lax in his ways than the majority of his fellow bishops, even though he alone was proceeded against in this manner. The explanation for his treatment may be found in his peculiar vulnerability to investigation by a king less immediately interested in diocesan reform than in urgently acquiring revenues for pious purposes of his own.

Selden's father was a "ministrell," yet the younger Selden became one of the most respected thinkers in London while still fairly young, and would eventually take a leading role in Parliament. 1 Selden's brilliant mind, personality, and actions as an "honest broker" in his turbulent times made him a man who all sides could respect and who could stay afloat and prosper in the shifting political sands of Seventeenth Century England.

  • Five Knights for Freedom
    FIVE KNIGHTS FOR FREEDOM (A talk delivered at the conference of the Property Bar Association on 12th November 2007) The genesis of this talk is two speeches by Lord Hoffmann in the House of Lords in the cases involving the Belmarsh detainees1. Following 9/11 the UK Government concluded that there was a public emergency threatening the life of the nation which justified it in derogating from the right to personal liberty guaranteed by Article 5 of the Convention on Human Rights. By section 23 of the Anti-Terrorism etc Act 2001 the Government provided for the detention of non-nationals if the Home Secretary believed that their presence in the UK was a threat to national security but there was some reason why they could not be deported. Nine people were detained in Belmarsh Prison. They appealed to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (“SIAC”). SIAC quashed the derogation order and declared that section 23 was incompatible with the Convention in that it discriminated against the prisoners on grounds of nationality. The Court of Appeal allowed the Secretary of State’s appeal. The House of Lords (Lord Hoffmann dissenting on this point) held that there was a public emergency but agreed with SIAC on the discrimination point. In a speech that went rather further than those of the other Law Lords, Lord Hoffmann said: “This is one of the most important cases which the House had had to decide in recent years. It calls into question the very existence of an ancient liberty of which this country has until now been very proud: freedom from arbitrary arrest and 1 A v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2005] 2 WLR 87; A v Secretary of State for the Home Department (No.2) [2005] 3 WLR 1249.

  • The Intersection of the Timeless Moment: Philosophical Structure
    THE INTERSECTION OF THE TIMELESS MOMENT: PHILOSOPHICAL STRUCTURE AND ANTI-STRUCTURE IN T.S. ELIOT’S FOUR QUARTETS by ALAN LAYNE SMITH (Under the Direction of Adam Parkes) ABSTRACT This work is a consideration of a poetic dialectic of structured and anti-structured philosophical thought within T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. This dialectic, first perceived by Eliot during his years spent as a candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy at Harvard University, sets a philosophical structure gleaned from the teachings of F. H. Bradley’s pragmatic idealism and appreciated in the poetry of Dante Alighieri in poetic discourse with an anti-structure first apprehended by Eliot within the metaphysical void of Nāgarjuna’s Mādhyamikan via negativa. This essay proposes a sustained link between philosophical and metaphysical interests explored and qualified within Eliot’s graduate thesis and the poetic expression of the transcendent possibilities of those notions of structure and anti-structure within his Four Quartets.
