New Publication Of an Old Work.
A friend has placed in our hands . neat little

Ashmesd, Philadelphia, entitled !" A Deed of Gift
to my dear son, Capt Matt. Page, one of his Ma
jestys Justices for New Kent county, in Virginia,
| 1857. -se5see
| From preface by Bishop Meade, of Virginia, 1t
appears that this is the work of pious Ayman,
Sir John Page, the frst of that name who cana
| to Virginia, and the ancestor of numbers of that
| and other names in Virginia. He was for long
| time one of the Kings Council, as were many Of
| his descendants after him. He died in the year
| 1851 or 2, aged sixty years" Towards the close
of his life, having acquired "a considerable share
of earthly goods for his wife and children, and by
win allotted the same, he then, with more pains
| set himself to prepare something for their eternal
| welfare. The result was this book"
| The manuscript, which, for many years, has
been passing from family to family of his descend
ants, is now for the first time, published by Bishop
| Meade, who dedic2tes it to the numerous descend
| ants of its wise and virtuous author for whose
special, though not exclusive benefit, it is pub
