It must certainly be a matter for satisfaction for the numerous representatives of the de Wolf name and blood · in America, to know that there are few families in the United States, and indeed in Europe, which hold such a distinguished position, in so many different countries as the de Wolfs. This statement may, at first sight, seem exaggerated, until it has been explained that not only do the de Wolfs belong to the oldest aristocracy of Flanders, Saxony and Livonia1 but that in the present generation, as in the past, the representatives of the family in these coun­ tries have no,v an enviable name for then1selves in public life, in the domain of literJ.ture and science. During the course of my travels, and almost life-long residence on the Continent, more especially in Belgium, it has been my good fortune to become personally ncqnainted with leading members of the de Wolf family, among them being Baron Ariste de Wolff, of Riga, Livonia, now in the Russian diploma.tic service ; and Baron Louis de Wolf de Moorsell, of the Chii.teau de Trevieres, Bracgnies in the Province of Hainaut, a well-known member of the Belgian aristocracy. Baron Louis de \Volfs ancestor, l\faximilian de "\-Volf, son of Frederick de "\V olf, a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire, had lands conferred upon him by the Emperor Charles the Fifth, and took up his residence in the neighborhood of Ghent in 1535. He was created a 2 10 PREFACE baron in the following year. Several ,,r lI:1ximilinn de "\Volfs descendants held appointmf'nt" i11 the French army and diplomatic service. Baron 1Jhnrles de v\.,. olf, 1\-In.~­ miJmn' s eldest son, joined the cau:ie of the Belgian people in their revolt ngninst Spain at the time of the revolution in the Lowlands, in 1579. Baron Joseph Henry de Wolf, a great grandson of Chnrles de "\Volf, after the cession of the seven Belgian provinces to the Empire, took up his resi­ dence at Haarlem in HolJnnd ; his son, Joseph, Baron de Wolf, became an Admiral in the Dutch service, and Gov­ ernor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1751 to 1757. The Barons de Wolf, of Belgium, are closely related to th~ best known families of the Kingdom, and have inter­ married during the past three centuries with the scions of the oldest aristocracy. Among the more noteworthy of these reJntionships are those with the Dukes d'Ursel; the present head of this :l'a.mily, the Due d'Ursel, is President of the Belgian Senate, and a warm personal friend of King Leopold; the Princes de Ligne, whose family seat, the Chateau de Beloeil, is one of the marvels of Belgium ; and the writer's friend, the Vicomte de Spoelberch de Loven­ joul, of the Chateau de Lovenjoul, one of whose mater­ nal ancestors was the Baroness Theodora de Wolf. The Vicomte de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul is one of the most eminent litterateurs of the day in Belgium ; as the author of "..4. History oj tke Works of Honore de Balzac," "..4. History of TkefY.[Jkile Gautier's Works," "..4. L01Je .Romance - tke true story of Bal,zac and Madame Hauska," and of several other works, crowned by the French Academy. The Vicomte de Lovenjoul's renown is not only not confined to his own country, but has crossed the Atlantic. The Vicomte's palatial residence in Brussels -with its library containing, besides all of the existing manuscripts of Balzac's novels, the unpublished corres­ pondence of the great novelist with l!adame Hauska­ is perhaps the most unique sight in the Belgian capital. The legend of the origin of the name of de Wolf is practically the same in every country. According to the family tradition in Belgium, Frederick de Wolf's first PREFACE II k11own ancestor, Louis de Saint-Etienne, of the French noble family of that name, was one of King Charles the Filth's attendants on a hunting expedition.

  • The Liverpool Packet
    THE LIVERPOOL PACKET ]ANET E. MULLINS F the matters recorded concerning the town of Liverpool, none O compares either in point of vital interest in its time or in challenge to the imagination with that of privateering. Almost from the time of its settlement by the English this activity made its influence felt, slightly in earlier years, acutely from 1776 to 1815, in a diminishing degree since, ripples from the centre of agitation of the War of 1812 not yet having lost themselves on the shores of time. The word "privateering" suggests various things to various people; to some, a questionable mode of acquiring wealth; to others, a legalized method of harassing an enemy; to this one, piracy; to that, patriotism. The perspective afforded by time, contemporary history and newspaper files, especially those of the enemy, letters, diaries, log-books, all provide the means to de­ termine whether the Maritimes were justified or not in resorting to this mode of warfare. Privateers were owned, armed and equipped by private citizens and used as defenders of the coast, intelligence craft, commerce destroyers. The Liverpool privateersmen were of excellent stock, all leading citizens of their community, well and favorably known to British naval officers of the time. When the wars were over, many filled positions of honour as members of parliament, judges, ship-owners, merchants. The crews, mostly fishermen, were picked from volun­ teers, the success of a cruise depending on each man's ability in seamanship and his skill in the use of naval weapons. None were on wages. All fought on a share system.

  • Acknowledgments Many People, for Many Years, Have Discussed The
    Acknowledgments Many people, for many years, have discussed the need for a record of the Brethren assemblies in North America. David Rodgers, long associated with Emmaus Bible College and assemblies in Iowa and elsewhere, is one of these, and is the person who has done most to promote and encourage the writing of this book. He has provided continuing encouragement and has been an invaluable help in identifying and contacting people who could provide information, and urging their cooperation. Emmaus Bible College, in the persons of Chancellor Dan Smith, Librarian John Rush, and several of the faculty, has been indispensable to this project: the Chancellor with his encouragement; the Librarian with his willingness to put the resources of the library at my disposal and for answering lots of questions; and the faculty who in several ways have encouraged me along the way and critiqued portions of the manuscript at various stages of writing. Many respondents to the questionnaires sent to them have done much more than provide information about their own assemblies; they have provided assistance in the form of information and contacts for other assemblies. Many people have patiently responded several times to my repeated questioning. When I have been reasonably satisfied with a draft for a certain region of the continent, I have sent it to a reviewer for comments, corrections, and additions. The assistance provided by the reviewers has been invaluable. Many reviewers have supplied a great amount of additional information and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing so. To all these people, indispensable to this project, I give my heartfelt thanks.

Frice One Shilling. 4 19S7 9776 PREFACE The First Edition of this book was issued in the year 1890 with the object of assisting Registration Officers and the Public searching the Indexes of Births, Deaths, and Marriages by collating the varieties in the form and spelling of names usually met with, and also those names differing altogether in form, which had been ascertained to be used interchangeably. A careful note lias been made during the decade of cases where additional varieties or peculiarities in Sur- names and Christian names have come under notice in this Office, or have been reported by local Officers. In view of the revision of the Work, I addressed a special circular to the Superintendent Registrars and Registrars asking for information as to the nomenclature in their respective Districts, and I now beg to thank those Officers who have so kindly responded to my request, and in many cases furnished additional information of interest and value.
