"THE TOWN or NEW H1VEN."
An Interesting and Timely Illustrated
Magazine Article,

A notable feature Of the Connecticut
Magazine for December is a very able
and comprehensive yet succinct article
by George II. Ford of this city regard
ing New Haven early history or rather
it's history from it's settlement to it's
Incorporation as city. 1t is entitled
1.-THE Town of New Haven" The ar
ticle is very readable and interesting
and covers the field in a few pages with
rare fidelity to the facts, while it brings
to the subject much that is original
and not met with in previous MARIA
lions on the subject.
This attractive article is profusely il
Illustrated and one of the distinguishing
features in this regard is the various
illustrations which are new to most of
New Haven's people, and will be re-
garded therefore with special interest.
Among these is the frontispiece-a pic
ture of Rev. John Davenport, first min
lister in New Haven from 1888 to 1868.
This is from an engraving of TrumbulPs
History of New Haven made in 1897,
or 102 years ago. Other pictures new
to most people are: One of Yale's first
college buildings, which was erected in
1717; one of the first state house in New
Haven, picture also entirely new to
this generation the same being repro
duced from an ancient volume; a pic
ture of Governor Eatons residence, etc.
Much of the material in reference to
New Haven's only history was verified
by General Ford on visits for research
es on the subject made while on trips
to the old world a few years ago to
the records of st. Stephens parish,
Coleman street London, and in visits
to Coventry and Carrisford castle The
articles has fine pictures of East and
West Rocks, Judges Cave, the Wooster
memorial inscription on Beacon Hill
proposed monument to commemorate
the defense OF West bridge against the
British troops July 5, 1873; the Histori-
cal building, a bark of the seventeenth
century, the first meeting house in
New Haven, tablet on the Judges Cave,
ETC.; also portraits of General David
Wooster Roger Sherman, and James
Hillhouse. In the evolution of the ar
ticle appropriate reference is made to
the early settlers of prominence and
their descendants who are among the
prominene people of New Haven to-day
including the Ingersoll, Davenport,
Trowbridge, Atwater, Brewster, KIM
berly, Gilbert, Rowe, Fem, Alling, Ives
families, etc. Copies Of the Magazine
can be obtained at T. H. Pease & Sons.
