First sentence: WITHOUT considering it necessary, for the present purpose, to trace the pedigree of a family to a remote origin, it may not be deemed irrelevant on the part of the biographer to point out, when such is the fact, how a succession of eminent and noble characters in the same family, so far from diminishing the exertions of their descendants to follow them in the paths of honor and glory, have contributed, as in the case of the family of Howe, to render their names worthy of those of their ancestors.
