The children of Daniel were :-1. Daniel; born June 15, 17 G4, and was married to Mary Frazier, of Newburyport, Dec. 4, 1802, and died April 2, 1842; 2.

01' military honors. He was a federalist of the 1Y ashi11gton school. He was belovetl by all who did business with him, for his sincerity, downright openness of mannor and the sacredness of his word. O1\e day in passing a group of mon, he founcl two truckmen quarrelling and coming to blows. He plunged into the crowd, laid his long hurricane, as he called it, on the shoulders of the combatants, ·who began to curse and swear, till they caught his eye, and then ceased and went off, as the spectators dispersed. The hour of his departure was near. At such a time we look upon a face which seems to be gazing into eternity. There is then something awfully sublime in the expression of the features of a good man, glowing like a departing sunset, as the eye lights up antl then closes forever! The circumstances attending the death of 1\Ir. Sargent were of a consoling kind, and were describe(! with tenderness and true filial love in a letter from his son-probably 1\Ianlius, for no name is giren-to 1Vinthrop, his brother, then at sea. lt was written not long after their father's decease. It LUCIUS l\IANLIUS SARGENT. , 15 describes his last moments, as he lay sick on his bed from a dropsy m the chest. Two eminent physicians attended him, Dr. Raml and Dr. Lloyd, ar,d there was some hope of recovery till pneumo11ia, with a burning fever, set in. Though restless in body, he was calm in mind, retaining his strong powers of intellect to the last. He professed in his conversations his firm faith in our blessed Lord and Redeemer. Ileing. asked by his wife, how he did, he said, " Going and sinking fast." On her saying to him, "I hope you are not afraid to die," "Pray," said he, "what have I to fear in death? I am mortal; it is not to be presumed that I have lived to this advanced age without committing some errors; but I can safely and sincere­ ly put my hand to my heart and declare, I have in my transactions endea­ vored to do what I thought was honest and upright." His remains were deposited in the tomb of the late Hon. ,John Osborne, and have since been removed to l\It. Auburn. His pall-holders were George Cabot and other prominent citizens. The stores on Long wharf were closed, and the vessels in the harbor were at half-mast during the obsequies. Mr. was stout, but not corpulent; five feet ten inches in height, erect, with a broad chest, and blessetl with a robust constitution, He never used profane or loose language in conversation, though in that day it was rather fashionable. His son beautifully says in his diary:­ " On his face was a calmness and air of dignified self-respect." If the ih­ rent's countenance was like that of his son Manlius, he must in earlier life have been [!, very handsome man. As a matter of historic curiosity, a brief notice of his costume may interest the reader. He wore a cue about twelve inches long, aml a toupee which was parted in curls about the ears, often powdered in the fashion of the day. His or­ jlinary dress was a grey broad-cloth coat, grey or blttck silk vest, grey ker­ seyrnere small clothes and grey silk stockings, with silver shoe and knee­ buckles; or in wet or cold weather, white top boots and a white neck stock, and a cocked hat, until late in life he changed it to a white broad brimmco. hat in summer or a black ono in winter. On the Sabbath or in company lw put on a blue coat with metal hnttons, a white vest mHl white Rtockin.~s. 8uch was the fashion of those limeR. Nor shonltl it he omittc(l, that.

Manlius liaving withdrawn from college, studied law with the celebrated Samuel Dexter, who stood at the head of his profession when New England had a constellation of great lawyers. After being in his office three years, he was admitted at the bar, but the inheritance of a fortune precluded the drudgery of practice. Ile was much attached to his learned master -a man of extraordinary talents, of whom Daniel Webster remarked, "His very statements were arguments,"-and in 1847 he published a little volume of "Reminiscences of Samuel Dexter." Mr. Sargent was twice married: first to l\Iary, daughter of Barnabas and l't:fary Binney of , April 3, 1816. She was the sister of the eminent Horace Binney, now 91, and remarkable for the vigor of his mind at such an age. J\Irs. Sargent died Feb. 4, 1824. They had three children: 1. l\Iary Turner, born in Quincy, :Mass., June 28, 1818, who died in Rox­ bury, August 2, 18-U. 2. Horace Binney, born in Quincy, June 30, 18:H. 3. l\Ianlius, born in Philadelphia, Jan. 23, 1824, and died in Dorchester, July 3, 1825. His second wife was Sarah Cutter, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Dunn of Boston, born June 2!J, li!J7. They were married July 14, 1826, :incl she died .August 7, 18G8. They had one child, Lucius J'iianlius. He speaks of his daughter l'tiary in his diary, as " rnry affectionate and very intelligent." After the death of her mother, which occurred in Phila­ delphia, while he wa8 on lmsiness in Natd1ez, 1\Iississippi, he removed to that city; but afterwards returned with his chiklren to Boston. In the ·' Dealings with the DeaCf'll, it stoprc1l. They asked-they LUCIUS MANLIUS SARGENT. 17 urged-they offered money to have it renewed ; but without avail. "No massa-b'lieve no sing any more.'' Neither Irving nor Hawthorne ever surpassed l\Ir. Sargent's beautiful description of the touching scene here referretl to. As the party rode on, his daughter asked her father why they would not sing again; he could not tell. "l.,erhaps," said she," they felt like those, who sat and wept by the waters of Babylon : they could not sing a song of Zion in a strange land.'' This beloved daughter only returned home to die. She took her flight to that blessed country where no sorrowful captives hang their harps on the willows. The life of a scholar seldom affords incidents and events for biograpliy, like the statesman or warrior, to create a sensation; yet if we can only get access to the interior of a literary man-the worltl of mind-the ideal is often the most fascinating of all narratives. As no two scholars are alike, there would be a perpetual variety. :Mr. Sargent was a man of fortune and of leisure-a deep thinker and observer of men. Few men had such rich powers of conversation, seasoned with humorous anecdotes, quick repar­ tees and frequent reminiscences of other days. He was never idle : rcalii Symposii JEnigmatica-a copy of which lte gave mc-tltcu a 18 LUCit;S MANLIUS SARGENT,

translation of the Culex of Virgil. In 1813 Hubert and Ellen was issued from the press, with some shorter effusions of his muse. His " "\Vreaths for the Chieftain," wns a magnificent ode; it touched the heart of the ,nation, and will always be a favorite. Many a waif and estray under many a nom de pl11me, were the offspring of his pen; and he was a frequent writer in the Anthology, published in 180-l: to 1811, by a club of literati, of which the late celebrated classic ,5clwlar, Rer. John S. J. Gardiner, D.D., was presi

puh!i 8hed hy 1\Ir. Delcrnn, of the New-York Temperance Society. The LUCIUS MANLIUS SARGENT, l!)

author was urged to write more, and he did. The late lcamcd civilian, Prof. Simon Greenleaf, of Cambridge, laid aside his learned lectures for a time, t0 write to Mr. Sargent the material for another story, "Kitty Graf­ ton;" and John Marsh suggested that of" Margaret's Bridal." In his talc of the" Life Preserver," he interwove his old schoolmate, Captain John Slater, into the drama as Jack Slater. The good which they have done in the cause of temperance can neither bo weighed nor measnred. They have been republished in England, and translated into German and several other languages, even Hindostanee. These tales, so simple and natural, like the Vicar of "\Vakefield in their taste and beauty, will have an enduring reign. If the author was somewhat gay and wild in his youth, like one of England's noblest kings, Henry V., when he was prince and kept company with Falstaff~ surely he has redeemed his character by writings which have had so much influence; showing us that his genius, though veiled in clouds and vapors during the gaiety and wantonness of youth, has since shone out with meri­ dian splendor in a moral and intellectual :1trnosphere. He gave thirty years of his life and thousands of dollars to aid the cause of temperance. But these summary reminiscences must draw to a close. Our friend hnrl become a very oH man, yet with all the energy of his corporeal and mcu­ tal faculties-saving a deafness which was troublesome. And now sorrow and darkness are coming upon him, and the joy of his mansion is clouded. "\Vhen the late terrible rebellion broke out, the patriotic heart of his two brave sons was kindled to rush forward i1: defence of the Uuion. In 18G2, they entered the army, and one was taken and the other left, so awfully were the Scriptures fulfilled. Horace Ilinney Sargent wns distinguished by !,is bravery as Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Cavaky, al](l having been dangerously wounded in battle, was honorably t1isclmrgcd on account of his wounds, and was 11romoted for his good corulnct, and gallant­ ry by brevet to 13rigadier General, tJie appointment to date from March 21, 18G4. Gen. Sargent gra!luatcd with the highest honors of his class in 1843, at Harvard University. His father about that_ time recciYed a letter -which must have thrilled a parent's soul with delight-touching his son's exemplary conduct and excellent scholarship. It was from !'resident Quincy. He resumed his profession of the law, after his recovery from his wounds. "\Vithin two years aftC'r his return from the wn,r, he was doomed to mourn LUCIUS MANLIUS SARGENT.

They were mar­ ried March 31, 18JG, and she died at her mother's, Jan. 12, 18G6, leaving four children. In the diary often referred to, there is a memorandum of the deep sorrow his father felt at the death of this " dear, very dear daugh­ ter," in l\Ir. Sargent's own bnt trembling lrnnd. Lucius l\fonlins S,irgent, ,Jr., born in Tioston, Sept. 15, 182G, entered II. u. Augnst, 18JJ, withdrew his connectiou in 184G, and studied medicine.

NOTE. "With no small care and painstaking, the foregoing genealogy has been prepared according to a system or synopsis of descent now used by adepts of thc.N. E. His., Gen. Society. The writer acknowledges his indebtedness for material to the valuable "History of Gloucester," by John J. Babson, and also to the copious and elaborate pedigree of the paternal and maternal ancestors, by the late Lucius J\L Sargent, Esq., down to the year 1845, when his diary or journal terminates. Mistakes and errors will undoubt­ edly be found-the writer only hopes they will be few. In the brief account, howeve1·, of J\Ir. Sargent's classmates, an error has occurred which he gladly corrects. On page 12 of. the Reminiscences, the authorship of the lives of John Gray, ,John Rutledge and Judge l\Iarshall is ascribed to the late Charles Flanders; out it should have been given to his son Henry Flanders, who is now an eminent lawyer in Philadelphia, and wrote a Treatise on Maritime Law, and also one on the Law of Shipping, in addi­ tion to his Lives of the Chief Justices of the . To preYent a long interruption in the genealogy of the Sargent family, the obituary notice of \Vinthrop7 Sargent [ see page 34 J ( George Wash­ 4 2 1 ington; \Vinthrop,° Winthrop, Epes,3 William, ,villiam ) is inserted here. It was kindly handed me, at my request, hy the Rev. Dorus Clarke, D.D., the accomplished historiographer* of our 8ociety, having been read at u. monthly meeting of the Society, on \Vednesday, the 5th of April last..

1YINTHROP SARGE:NT, Esq. "Winthrop Sargent was born in the city of Philadelphia, Penn., Sept. 23, 182i"i, and died of gradual decline at Paris, France, May 18, 1870, aged 44 years. Ile was the son of Margaret Percy and George \Vashington Sar­ gent. His mother was the daughter of Lieut. Robert Percy, of the Royal Navy, and his father was the son of 1Vinthrop Sargent, a distinguished Revolutionary officer. The Sargent family were of English origin, and came to this country about the year 1 G50, and settled in G,loucester, Mass.

* The office of historiogrnphcr qf the N. E, Hist. and Gen. Society was created the third · of Octo\Jcr, 18.'ii'i. Its uhjcct 1s to take charge of the materials for the history of the Sodety, und to prepare biographies of its membe1•s. This hlea, then so peculiar, ana, as for as we know, without a precedent in any known literar)' as,odation in tliis country, originated in the mind of one who,e modesty, extensive rca'ling and remarka\Jle memory, have long endeared him to our Societ_r-Joh11 Ward Dean, A.M., of this city. . The hpportancc of prcpilring Libgraphies of dep,1rtcd members, and preserving them with our records, needs no comment; for not only to children nnd children's children, hut to'thc community at targe, such biogrnphies will he a ble•sing; und their value will be still niore enhanced when they shall appear in the neatly-printed vc,lume, as contemplnted by the generous and noble donation hy our late treasurer, ,vuumn B. Towne, Esq., of Two 1'nou­ s.,"1D DoLLABS to become a permanent rnnd for that purpose. The Jiycs of mcm!Jers will thus be, as it were, cn1lmlmed, not like mum1nics in the catacoml.Js of Egypt, but in the perennial costume of living letters in the archives of history. The· late Dr. Joseph Palmer, whose learning nnd Ynlu11hle researches in necrology were high I)' appreciated, was the first who tilled this office, which he resigned from ill health. 1111·. \Villiam B.

your denr l\Iajor, Sir,' replied the other. 'Well, then, my damned Major,' lie exclaimed, which latter expletive, and the mauner in which it was uttered, seemed to have a more soothing effect. Of course I have no recollection of my cousii~s appearance, until he was in more than middle· life. The battle of Brandywine was fought years before I was born, and that of the Mfami villages, only five years after. l\Iy first remembrance of him dates about 1797. lie was then in Boston, with his horses, servants, housings, hostlers and pistols. Ile remained some time in Boston, and his daily movements were highly interesting to me. "In 177 i'i, ·w.

"In 17!)8 he was appointecl governor of the l\Iississippi Territory, aml hy removerl, June, 1801, at the period when the political besom swept so many federalists from their stations. Complaints were made before Congress of Gov. Sargent's administration. The chief pnrsner, a rank Jeffersonian ( Mr. Clayborne) was appointed his successor; though the committee to whom the subject was referred conclucle an extended re­ port in these words: 'Resolved, that there floes not appear cause for fur­ ther proceedings on the matters of complai11t for mal-administrution against "\Vinthrop Sargent as Governor of the l\Iississippi Territory.' "The facts on this aml the preceding page arc taken from a pampl1let en­ titled, 'Political Intolerance,' printed in lfoston by B. Russell, 1801." Subjoining this account, there arc two small engravings of Gov. ar.rl Mrs. Sargent ; hers is marked by beauty, and his by strong intellect and decision of character.

l\fany interesting anecdotes have been told of l\fr. L. l\f. Sargent touch­ ing his ever ready wit, or benevolence, or love of literature. They have been omitted for want of room. A few, however, are here inserted. Some years ago, a gentleman who stands high at the Suffolk bar was travelling in Roxbury with his wife, and met with an accident, from which l\Ir.

" Soon after this the extreme South End began to look up. The rapiu the present Shawmut Aveuue aud Tremont Street, and all this for the small sum of two hundred aml sixty-three dollars and eighty cents. The rainy rlay then would only allow ten persons to feel sufficient interest to attend a sale at which acres of land in the now grent south ward could be bought at the very contemptible price of about one mill and one half per square foot. In the short space of forty years the neighborhood of this purchase has become so much iuhabitcd that the land would now probably sell for three thousand fold the price given in 1830."-[" A Topographical and Historical Description of Boston," hy NATIIANIEL B.

1\Ir. Sargent cntcrtainetl a very high opiuion of the Adams family, so ill11strio11~ in American history, so remarkable for descent of talent from gene­ ration to generation-the venerable ,John All:.tms-his son John Quincy, each prc~itlent of the United States-Charles Francis Adams, who as minis­ ter to the Court of St. James during the late rebellion, arnl in the most trying emergencies, maintained the honor of our Republic and the blessings of peace. IIc describes a farewell visit to ltx-Presi(lcnt John Adams quite happily: "As I was taking my leave, being about to remove into a distant State, my daughter, between five and six years old, stepped timidly towards Mr. A.clams, and placing her little hand upon his, and looking; upon his venera­ ble features, sai,l to him-' Sir, ?JOU are so old, and 1 am going away so jar that I do not think I shall ei·er see you again-will you let me kiss you before I go?' His brow was suddenly overcast-the spirit became geutly solem­ nized-' Certainly, 111,11 child,' saicl he, '1f you desire to kiss a very old man, whom it is quite like(IJ you 1cill nei-er see again.' Ile bowed his aged form, aml the child risi11g on tiptoe, impressed a kiss upon his brow. I would give a great tleal more than I can afford for a fair sketch of that old man's face, ns he resumed his position. I see it now, with the eye of a Swe\lenhorgia11. His features were slightly flushed, bnt not discomposed at all; tears filled his eyes; ancl, if one word mnst sutlice to express all I saw. that word is benei-olence-that same benevolence which taught him, on ou the tlny of his cleath, July 4, 182G, when asked if he knew what day it was, to exclaim-' Yes, it is the glorious Fourth of July- God bless it-Ood bless ymi all.'

One of the class, that gralluuted at Harvard University in 1808, who heanl John quincy Aclams, professor of rhetoric and oratory, on the 12th of June, 180G, when he delivered his inaugural oration, describes it as fol­ lows. As :l\Ir. Sargent was an admirer of Mr, Adams, and ,vas present at the time, it may not be uninteresting: APPENDIX.

"There was a great gathering of the literary principalities and pow of the land-:lignitarics and pflicials of the College crowded the platforn rows of teachers and students filled the pews-groups of strangers occur the spare seats, aisles, and every nook and corner of the ground-floor--: from the g,illeries an assemblage of the beauty and fashion of the day h1 like a bright cloud in their brilliant costumes over the dense and dark rr below.

In traring the lim,age of the Sargent family, so extensive in it.s numer branches, we find their patronymic name, from an early pt>riotl, associa with commerce anu enterprise. It was so on Cape Ann, it was so in Bost In 177J, )'\'"inthrop Sar_g-ent owned the lJrig "King of rrnssia," a1Hl .I<~ Sargent the snow "Charlotte" - the only S

stores and fish flakes, showed the prosperity of this family. They were the most conspicuous in the ltarbor, where thei1: fleets of fishermen were often moorc,l with rich cargoes. Among them Daniel Sargent had a splendid resi,lcncc for that (by, and a large portion of land belonged to some of the dc,cemlants of the romantic and lovely 1\Iary Epes of old England.

He always felt a deep interest in the welfare of his classmates nfter they entered upon the busy vocations of life. ,vhenever of late we met him on the exchange in his visits to the city, he would introduce this suhject, anrl often with touching remarks aud a tear trembling in his eye, as he tolcl us of one after another who had gone to his long home. " Few, very few of us, friend S.," said he, "are now left, ' Eheu fugaces, Posthume ! Posthnmc ! Labuntur anni.' '' Once in particular, he spoke of his long-tried intimacy with the late Henry Collman, Es,1.-a solicl, but not showy scholar at College, a sincere and sterling character, whose retiring virtues and unfeignecl piety endeare1l him to all who knew him. Others might be named, bnt our space forbids. Indeed, the friendships which are formed in our College career arc often as lasting as life-aye mul perhaps forever. For one of the chief elements of consciousness of our i,lentity is memory; aml ,vl1en we are freecl from this earthy bmly and become only a spiritual hocly, how vast and vigorous the memorv then will be, and we shall know the friends and beloved ones we knew ,;ere !

It was in the spring of 1807, when this class was in its junior year, that the distmbances touching the commons arose. " A Statement of Facts," elated April 10, in the 11atnre of a protest, setting forth their grievances and couched in cogent ancl terse but respl:!ctful l;wguage, and signed by 27 seniors, 44 juniors, 2!) sophomores and 47 freshmen, to. the number of 147 11a'Iles, dissolving their ties with the College, was presented to the govern­ ment of Harvard University. The result, however, is a matter of College history, and is here omitted. It is sufficient to say, when we look at the perspective of such distant years, that the government remained firm, and maintained their authority. The Statement of Facts is said to have been written by William White. The name of Lucius l\Ianlius Sargent does not appear there.
