THE LATE w1AhiAm [. KrNGszEr.


 Among the many tributes in other, cities to the memory of the lamented William L. Kingsley of this city the New York Evening Post says:
 Mir Kingsley during the first year after graduation read law in the Yaie Law school, and for the three years sue- oeeding studied at the Yale Theological seminary, where he was graduated in lS4I. The following year he passed In Europe, and soon after his return in 1S49 began preaching, and for awhile filled the Congregational pulpit at Strongs- Vile, O., whence he was forced by ill heaNh to return to New Haven, The six following years, broken only by 8 short period of preaching at Ridgebury, Conn.,, was an uninterrupted battle with disease, and not till 1857 was he able to resume work, when he accepted | the editorship of the New Englander, with which, as editor and proprietor, he Was to Joe connected for quarter of q century. That magazine. published at New Haven, though overshadowed in later times by the larger periodicals, in those earlier days had considerable rep utatlon. and papers from many leading | NAAtNiSs especially Qll lCIASloH6 anu w clesiastical themes, appeared in its pages, Some years ago 1t became bi- monthly, little later a monthly, and in 1892 was merged in the Yale Review. Its manifold duties formed the burden of MT. Kingsleys life-work, which for many years he bore almost unassisted, meanwhile doing considerable literary labor apart from his magazines and oc- casionally having tasks in connection with the college.
 In these extraneous labors the two foremost were the editing and publish ing in 1881 of the Contributions to the 1 Ecclesiastical History of Connecticut" prepared under the direction of the General association Congregational of Connecticut, to commemorate the com pletion of 150 years since it's first an- nual assembly and embodying vast number of ecclesiastical facts and rec ords; and the editing of the two mas siye and luxurious quartos of some 800 pages each, entitled Yale College; a Sketch of it's History" published in 1879
 by Henry Holt & Co. This large and costly work, in the highest sense of the phrase an edition de luxe, and necessa- rily of limited circulation, covers in ep- itome almost every phase of Yale life from the founding of the college up to 1879, treated in separate chapters, pro- 1 fusely illustrated and embracing such
 topics as history, biography, the rec lord of the different departments, sketch- es of college buildings, sports, and. in deep, all branches of college activity. As a book of reference, it has genuine
 and comprehensive value, marred seri- ously by it's size and price. Among pa- pers from MT. Kingsley's pen originally
 appearing in the New Englander and
 afterwards printed separately is a
 sketch of the Rev. David Trunlbull of
 Valparaiso, Chill, name which, inher-
 ited by sons, has been conspicuous in
 Chilian politics.
 Genial, kindly, gifted in conversation
 and well informed In both science and
 affairs, MT. Kingsley has for years been
 q prominent and cheery figure in the literary and scholastic circles of New
 Haven, and his acquaintance extended
 to many cultured men and women out
 side of his natal city He married in
 1857 Miss R. L. Upham daughter of Col
 onel Upham of the United States army,
 and in later life Miss Taylor of New
 York city, who, with two daughters or
 his first marriage, survives him.
