"This shall be written for those that come after."­ Ps. 102, 18. "A book which professes, only to reproduce and epitomize what has been already brought to light by the original research of others." "In these days of 'making many books' there must be a warrantable raison d'etre." Wordsworth to his book :- "Is then the final page before me spread, No further outlet left to mind and heart? Presumptuous book! Too forward to be read, How can I give thee license to depart?" The last words in the History of the Maccabees:­ "And if it is done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I designed; but if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain to." ix X LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

GENEALOGICAL CHART OF DESCENDANTS OF ]AMES1 LEONARD (IN POCKET OF BACK COVER) xii INTRODUCTORY. GENEALOGY. A true and sincere study of genealogy should lead not to pride of ancestry by the picking and choosing of those forbears who distinguished themselves, but rather to a democratic feeling of brotherhood with all mankind; for, on going back only a few generations we find ourselves related to nearly all the inhabitants of a certain town, such as D ............... , and among our fellow descendants find some, perhaps, in the humblest walks of life; so, if pursued in the proper spirit, I be­ lieve genealogical studies will lead, not· to inordinate pride of birth, but rather to emulation of the virtues of distinguished ancestors, and sympathy and helpful­ ness for their less fortunate descendants. Another feature which interested me-was the study of particular periods of our history. With the per­ sonal interest aroused by discovering that those of your own blood took part in stirring events, the dry bones of history take on flesh and the lusty hues of romance. ALDEN FREEMAN, m "The Quest of Ancestors.'' xiii ANCESTRY. "Of all the affections of man those which connect him with ancestry are among the most natural and numerous. They enlarge the sphere of his interests, multiply his motives to virtue and give intensity to his sense of duty to generations to come, by the percep­ tion of obligation to those which are past." -Hon. Josiah Quincy. -"Let us not forget so to live that those who come after us may feel that we, too, have been ancestors worthy to be cherished." -M.W.S. "People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors."-Burke. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." -Anon. "It isn't always necessary to have a long line of gentlemen behind you, and if you haven't any, or can't trace them, a man, if he has pluck and grit, can get along without them; but it's very comfortable to know they once existed." -"Peter," by F. Hopkinson Smith. XlV OUR ANCESTORS. I. Old England gave them birth and name, Their youthful steps with care she taught, And guiding them with firm design That strengthened well their lines of thought. II. They rendered back their faithful trust, They kept her law and service true, The whole a noble scheme of life Upon their opening vision grew. III. Their hopes portrayed a broader state, That men should frame and men control; Their faith evolved a purer shrine Of worship, worthier of the soul. IV. They saw these shores in distance vast, In Nature's rudeness over-grown, \Vhere star-eyed freedom waiting sat, A Queen upon a lovely throne. V. To her wide courts she beckoned them \i\Tith lure of hardships, toils, alarms, The sacrifice of home and clans, All sweetened by her steadfast charms. VI. They listened to that far-off call, And knew the cost without dismay; With hearts that beat for liberty They chose the rough and narrow way. xv VII. They came and found the promised land, And planted here their family tree, And builded up a common weal, ·Whose message ran from sea to sea. VIII. Let royal powers with proud acclaim Rehearse their ancient legend o'er, Displaying to the wondering crowd Their guarded crowns and jeweled store. IX. We show the Pilgrims' oaken chair, His broken gun with rust bestrewn; The Pilgrim Mother's wheel and loom, The Mayflower's record carved in stone. X. Our Ancestors! We teach their ways, Through storm and calm, through ill and good And gather reverence as we go And grant them honors as we should. XI. They left the old world's fertile field A new and rugged soil to break, And made a barren wilderness To bloom with beauty for our sake. XII. And reaching out beyond their years, With force no time nor tides could bind, Their labor told for human rights And wrought for good to all mankind. By Miss Mary E. N. Hathaway. XVI Symbol From Stained Glass, of Sandringham Church, St. Leonard Norfolk, England. ST. LEONARD. St. Leonard, the patron Saint of all prisoners, cap­ tives and slaves, was of noble birth,-a nobleman of high rank attached to the court of the French King Clovis I, in the first half of the sixth century. Was converted to Christianity by St. Remy, who later in­ structed him in divinity. He had great influence with the King, which was retained after his conversion, and through which many prisoners whom St. Leonard delighted to visit, were set at liberty. It was for this reason we find in the Clog Almanacs the symbol of a rude hammer given him, or sometimes a broken chain. He became eventually a hermit, building for himself a cell and oratory near Limoges. While still living the life of a hermit, he began instructing the peasantry, filling his life with good works. He was ordained deacon, but declined further advancement in the min­ istry, and is, in art, usually represented in deacon's dress.

The Elusive Common Good Religion and Civil Society in Massachusetts, 1780-1833 JOHANN N. NEEM In 1810, Theophilus Parsons, the Federalist chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, argued that the state need not recog- nize voluntary churches, calling the idea "too absurd to be admitted." In contrast, the modern idea of civil society is premised on the right of individual citizens to associate and for their institutions to gain the legal privileges connected with incorporation.' Federalists did not share this idea. They believed that in a republic the people's interests and the state's interests were the same, since voters elected their own rulers. JohannN. Neem, AssistantProfessor of History,Western Washington Univer- sity, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center on Religion and Democracy at the University of Virginia.

  • A Trial of Witches
    A Trial of Witches In 1662, Amy Denny and Rose Cullender were hanged for the “crimes” of witchcraft, including causing the death of a child, overturning carts, bedevilling cattle, and lice infestations. A Trial of Witches is a study of this seventeenth-century witch trial, placing it in its social, cultural, and political contexts. Through an examination of the major participants in the case and their institutional importance in the early modern period (the presiding judge was Sir Matthew Hale, whose work is still cited in English case law, and the verifying doctor was the influential Sir Thomas Browne, author of Religio Medici), the authors critique the official process and detail how it led to its erroneous conclusions. The Lowestoft trial has even broader significance as it was cited as evidence thirty years later at the Salem trials, where many lost their lives. Through detailed discussion of primary sources, the authors explore the important implications of this case for the understanding of hysteria, group mentality and early modern social forces, and the witchcraft phenomenon as a whole. Gilbert Geis is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society, University of California, Irvine. Ivan Bunn is a local historian living in Lowestoft.

INDEX NEW BEDFORD NEW BEDFORD 1602 May 14, Friday (Old Style): Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, in the vessel Concord commissioned by the Earl of Southampton in March to establish a New World colony, had sighted Cape Neddick (Latitude 43 degrees) on the Maine coast: They skirted the coastline for several days and then on this day came to anchor in York Harbor, where they were greeted by “a Biscay shallop [a small fishing vessel used by the Basque of Spain on the Bay of Biscay] with sails and oars, having eight persons in it, whom we supposed to be Christians distressed. But approaching us nearer, we perceived them to be savages.” It is to be noted that even at this early point, one of the natives was attired in a waistcoat, breeches, stockings, shoes, and a hat, and knew some English words, and was able to draw a map of the coastline, on which he marked out the Newfoundland fisheries.
