The author. in his introductory. justly
cites the sentiment of Gibbon. that "a
lively desire Of knowing and recording
our ancestors so generally prevails, that
IL must depend on the influence OF some
common principle in the minds or men.
and continues: Doubtless In many cases
the feeling is similar to that which LED
Darius the Great 10 inscribe on the rock
Of Behistun his proud boast: From an
cient time our family have been kings; l
am the ninth king by lineal descent But
family is not the only reason for these
records. Historians quite generally eiucl-
date their annals by genealogical tables
and scientists like Dr. Francis Cation tes-
tify to their utility in the study OF heredl-
" and social science a recent writer
wisely declares that the day has gone
by when self-respecting men may boast
of Ignorance of those who bore their
name before them"
The gcnealogies are clearly and distinct
j. presented. and are easily followed
whilst the index is full. There are also
