n of law. Six days later he petitioned for liberty to remain in the president's house, which was allowed until the end of the year. In March (the first month of 1655) the court took action against him for his speech of the previous July, and on April 3 arraigned him for the crime (?), sentencing him to be publicly admonished th his coming removal, he should have secured the completion of his title to Menotomy land immediately after his petition of November 10, 1654? With the opening of 1655 it is evident that work on the mills and dam across the river had been begun, as it required time then, as now, and more so, to do such work. The Broughton dam, which, as shown by the above deed, must have been built in 1655, extended across the river from the lot deeded to President Dunster by William Brackenbury to land in Medford purchased by Edward Collins of the Cradock heirs, and was the first to be erected in the river of Mysticke. How it was constructed we may never know, but th

signed December 9 Thomas Gleason leased of Capt. Samuel Scarlett acting for his wife the messuage etc. lying and being within the bounds of Charlestowne—commonly known and called by the name of the Major Gibbons farme for ten years at a rental of eight pounds a year. This lease and attendant litigation is briefly as follows: In 1650 the Squa died, according to the deposition of Richard Church in Scarlett v. Gardiner, and Edward Gibbons took possession of the land in behalf of his son. In 1655, 9th of 5 mo. (July 9) Jotham, describing himself as of Bermuda, appointed Thomas Lake and Josh: Scottow general attorneys for many purposes, and among other things to recover possession of the parcell of land belonging unto me sometimes called by the name of Squa Sachem's hill. It was mortgaged to Scottow, redeemed by Scarlett in the right of his wife, leased by him to Thomas Gleason who entered under the lease and soon had his hands full of work and trouble. In the summer of 1659 men em

This Thomas Parker left his Park Hall estate to his nephew, my grandfather the Honble E. S. Parker Jervis, and it now belongs to my brother. We also still own the old property of the Hawes Solihull near Warwick. I have found a curious old sampler worked by this Mary Cradock in 1722, and we have a beautiful portrait of their daughter Mary, painted by one Saunders. I also find in Erdeswick that Matthew Cradock purchased Carswall or Caverswall Castle from Lord Huntingdon some time previous to 1655, so I think it probable that the Cradocks at Caverswall and the Parkers at Park Hall were near neighbors and friends. I cannot find any connection with Meaford nearer than this. Will you please tell me what you found at the Willm Salt library and if your information at all tallies with mine, and in the meantime I will look round for more relics. It is all so very interesting. Yours sincerely, E. M. Parker Jervis. Dear Mr. Hughes— I send you today a Copy of an inscription on a

lbury. Dropping still more sharply southward, the path descended Federal hill into Oxford, and thence ran westward into Charlton, and by a rather circuitous way over Fisk hill into Sturbridge. There it led through what has been called Tantaskwee pass, exactly where the Worcester-Southbridge-Springfield trolley line passes to Fiskdale. Between Fiskdale and Brimfield (being still in Sturbridge) it touches the southern edge of the thousand acre tract which John Eliot had from the Indians in 1655. In Brimfield the path passed Quabaug Old Fort, of which I shall speak again. Thence westward into Monson, the path strikes just south of the Chicopee river at the town line, and follows the river to Palmer, the summit of the path reaching an altitude of eleven hundred feet in crossing the divide between the Quinnebaug and the Quabaug, or Chicopee, watersheds. West from Palmer the way led around the north end of Wilbraham mountains to North Wilbraham village, whence it passed southwestward

le time of war. Imprimatur Calamy This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayst observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.--Josh. 1: 8. Printed at London, by G. B. and R. W., for G. C. 1643. Preface to this Edition. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth from 1653 to his death in 1655, began his military career in 1642. In 1643 appeared this little manual for his soldiers. Though not prepared by Cromwell, it was published with his approbation, and was in general use among his soldiers. Cromwell's success was due in no small degree to the strict morals and rigid discipline of his army, and to the inspiring power of religion. He declared: "Truly I think he that prays best fights best. I know nothing that will give like courage and confidence as the knowledge of God in C
