became prominent In society and
visitor at the American colony. His
fame as a linguist was known through

Forthcoming, and Mr. Crittenton was

devoted most of his time to the study
of languages. The facilities were not
to his liking here, and he induced his
wife to move to Oxford, England. His
fame as linguist and scholar had pre-

tutor in the university. 1t was about
