terest, by Henry Cabot Lodge, one of the
rising authors of New England, entitled
"rhe Last of the Purtans" The text upon
which this admirable portraiture of the
near descendants of the old-fashioned Puri-
tans-who were driven from England by
persecution, and founded the Common
wealth of assachusetts-hangs, is the
diary of Chief Justice SeWall, who died in
IT'S and whose life, as daily recited by
himself, was an excellent type of
that of his class. The biography is a
sketch of the first American Baronet, Sir
William Pepperell, the hero of Louisburg,
which he wrested from the French with an
army of Provincials in 1744, aided by the
feet of Admiral Peter Warren. Thissketch
is by the editor. and is accompanied by a
view of the old Baronial mansion at Kit
tery Point, on the coast of Maine. The
most curious paper in the number is in the
French letter from Beaumarchais to Louis
XVI, proposing an ingenious plan, by which
the Americans might be assisted, without
compromise of his apparent neutrality;
this is accompanied by all introduction
from the pen of George Clinton Genet
and by fine el-plate por
| trait of the versatile genius whose ridicule
later greatly contributed to the overthrow
of the monarchy The original document
is diary of Sergeant Ephraim Squier, the
gtandsire of our well-known arch9ologist
kent upon his march with the expedition o1
Arnold ap the Kennebec and Chaudiere
and later with his regiment to Saratoga
when the New England troops rallied tt
meet Burgoyne. The notes and queries ant
literary notices make up this more thar
usually valuable number.
