OBLIGATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
HISTORY ASSOCIATION, Washington
ID. c. Volume H. No. 3. July 1898
This is one Of the most valuable mum
bers vet issued of this quarterly. The open
ing contribution, a cursory comment upon
Orchard Winn," Of South Carolina and
Tennessee soldier Of the Revolution, ana
member OF Congress, is by Hon. j. i. Nj.
Curry. and is wanting the evidences or
care which generally characterize any
thing from his pen. We notice men
ton OF the occupation of Winnsboro' by
Lord CORVALLIS in '17S2," and a reference
10 his Observation-Disclosures, nee Dorothy
Wright" We once saw in the New YORK
Herald a portrait of "The Duchess OF
MARLBOROUGH, nee Mrs Hooker Hammers
ley"
Edward Ingles "Maryland's Great
est Politician" is q thoughtful study
of the influence Of Cecilius Calvert, with
an incidental defence of Richard lngle.

Gadsden" is Of the highest merit and
value. virginia Women and the Civil
War" by b. w. Arnold, shows dscrimi-
mating Judgment. and this paper ought TO
be widely read. Peter j. Hamilton,
author of Colonial Mobile" one of the
most valuable Of recent southern histoH-
cal works. contributes an interesting and
valuable paper on early Southern Insu-
tutions." The Commission of Button
Gwinnett, as President and Commander
in-Chief of The State Of Georgia is print
ed in full, and an unusually interesting
batch of book notes and notes and
queries complete the contents of this
number. II this association can continue
the publication OF such papers as those
of Renick, Arnold, and Hamilton in this
number and leave the cost of printing
the family genealogies TO be betrayed
from the private purses Of those whom
they interest its usefulness will be more
apprecated and much longer-lived. We
are pleased 20 note that they announce
the publication TO be made about October
lst of the index 10 "Nieade's Old Church.
es Ministers, and Families of Virginia"
prepared by the late Or. j. NJ. Toner
The want Of an index to this work has
been a lament of the last forty years
We hope they may have the printed pages
OF the same size as the work itself, SO
that il may be bound in with the second
volume Copies Of this iudex-priee. ST.
