The First American Aboiitionist.

Samuel Sewall, chief justice of Massachu-
sets from 1718 TO TIPS when he resigned on
account of age and intirmities, seems to have
been the first outspoken abolitionist in oilr
country, having written tract against
slavery. in which he gave it as his opinion
that there would be "no progress in gospel
ing" until slavery should be abolished.
Judge Sewall was born at Bishopsgate, Eng
land, March IS, 1852, graduated at Harvard
university in 1911, and died January, 1880.
He studied divinity, preached awhile, came
into the possession of wealth by marriage, by
marrying the daughter of u Boston goldsmith,
and was annually chosen a member of the
council from 1000 until 1925 He was Judge
from l7l2 until IT'S, when he became chief
justice. Judge Sewall shared in the general
belief of witches and witchcraft, concurring
in the condemnation of many of the accused,
but he afterwards publicly acknowledged his
error.

Some Information About Queen victo-
Now comes one who throws discredit on all
previous stories as to the queens family
name:
Queen Victoria has no other name than
that given her in baptism. Her name is not
Guelph. That was the baptisnal name of an
ancestor. To say that her name is Guelph
because she is descendant of Guelph of Ba-
varia, OF member of the house of Guelph, is
as ridiculous as to say that the name of de-
scendant of or member of the house of Will
liam the Conqueror is Williams Nor is her
name Victim That supposition is more ridic-
ulous still than the Guelph" superstition. She
married descendant of the counts of Wet
tin, but no descendant of the king of Bull
garia will ever be Mr.. Bulgaria, and no de-
scendant Of the counts of Victim ever be Mr..
Victim. 1t has not been necessary for all
people to assume surnames, and very few
royal or princely families have taken them
Louis XVI was indicted as Louis Capet, but
he informed the court that it was mistaken,
as he had no surname, and on his authority
it may safely be assumed that neither the
house of Orleans nor the house of Bourbon
enjoys that distinction, Charles Stuart Of
England came from the Stuart family and
had a family name changed to Stuart from
FitzalanJ, and so did Henry VII, grandson
of Owen Tudor. The duke of Modena has
none, and the duke of Bedfordis Mr.. Russell
the duke of Birkenhead has none, and the
duke of Montrose is Mr. Graham.
