A VALUABLE WORK.

E. L. Sargent has a genealogical work
of William Sargent, the first one of the
name of whom there is record known,
who came to this country aud in lps-
wich, Mass, April 1, 1888. The book
includes nearly 1000 names and in COM
piing it large amount of research was
necessary. Mr. Sargent sent andreceived
nearly 1000 letters, including much for
eign correspondence, With but few ex-
ceptions he has met with a hearty
response, and persons from several states
and Canada have visited him in its
interest. AS soon as he gets the record
of a few who have not responded, q fuller
record of Others, and gives a further
search for the lines of some who are
minsing, he will publish the work.
Having compiled such a work of the
descendants OF his grandfather, together
with his other experiences, the book is
sure to be full of interest, and onein which
every one of the name Of Sargent should
feel honorcd to have their record
biography and portrait and that of then
kindred.
