JUDGE BALDWIN'S PAPER,

Very Interesting Discourse on Rev. John
Higginson at the Historical Society.
AT the meeting of the New Haven Colony
Historical society last evening Judge
Simeon Il. Baldwin spoke, taking as h s
subject the life Of the Rev. John HigGin-
son.
John Higginson installed the first schools
at Guilford and Hartford. He was the first
associate minister at Saybrook, becoming
associate minister with the Rev. Mr.. Whit
field. He was the first to use shorthand In
any official body In the United States, act
ing in the capacity of stenographer Mt the
synod which was called by the general
court of Massachusetts to consider the
questions which had been raised by the
Mrs. Anne Hutchinson monument. He was
the first scribe to net n any ecclesiastical
synod in the United States.
DR.. r. w. Griswod, very competent
critic, holds that Higginson was one of the
greatest men of New England and that he
was one of the best writer's of the seven
teenth century. Judge Baldwin said last
81 think this communication somewhat
overstrained. His own father wrote more
cleverly, more simply and more forcibly, to
mention no other.
John Higgginson had less Dedantry of
expression and greater force and Spirtr than
men common in his day."
Rev Mr.. Hgginson was born i'll 1916. He
died in Salem, Mass, in 170S, aged ninety
two.
He lived through busy century of ac-
tive service to the last. For forty years
he was one of the leaders in Massachusetts,
as he was for twenty years previously In
Connecticut He was active in each of the
three colonies out of which Connecticut
grew.
On motion Of Henry 7. Blake vote of
thanks was passed to Judge Baldwin for
his valuable paper.
Rev. DR.. Lines presided at the meeting,
at which many prominent families We're
represented After the exercises refresh
ments were served.
