Elihu Smith, Mason Cogswell, and Lemuel Hopkins), Joseph Dennie, (The Lay Preacher), William Dunlap, Charles Brockden Brown. There is a bibliography of 33 pp. that comprises only the authorities consulted by the writer and will be very helpful to those desiring to make further study of the subject. The book is well indexed. Typographical features are excellent. It contains a great amount of information interestingly told. A book well worth owning.—A. G. OAK-OAKS-OAKES-FAMILY REGISTER, NATHANIEL OAK OF MARLBOROUGH, MASS., AND THREE GENERATIONS OF HIS DESCENDANTS IN BOTH MALE and Female LINES, by Henry Lebbens Oak. Printed for subscribers by permission of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, to whom the author bequeathed the original manuscripts, by Ora Oak, Colton, Cal., 1906. Out West Co., Print, Los Angeles. The above work, the title of which tells a part of its history, is well prepared and carrying down the female lines as well as the male, gives it a wide and useful scope. Mr. Oak desires it known that "descendants of Nos. 9, 10, 11, 14, 19, 22, 27, 28, 39, 54 and 55 can get an abstract of their pedigree" by writing to him at Colton, Cal. The work is well prepared and praiseworthy. The National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, have prepared and caused to be distributed, either through the port of entry or that of embarkation, a pamphlet addressed to immigrants. This pamphlet contains a list of questions concerning the United States with full and easily understood answers to each. These are practical questions and ones that would be likely to occur to the "stranger within our gates." It is believed that this pamphlet will be very helpful. Several pamphlets have come to us from Dr. Arthur MacDonald, of Washington, D. C. Dr. MacDonald is a noted criminologist and has made a special study of crime among the young. He believes that "As the seeds of evil are usually sown in childhood and youth, it is here that all investigation should commence, for there is little hope of making the world better if we do not seek the causes of social evils at their beginnings." He submits statistics and his treatment of the subject is very scholarly. As all Daughters of the American Revolution are interested in the coming generation, Dr. MacDonald's work should appeal to us especially. YEAR BOOKS RECEIVED. The Louisa St. Clair Chapter, Detroit, Michigan, Mrs. Frederic Beckwith Stevens, regent, has issued its program for the year. It is a very complete outline, containing the calendar for the year's work, lists of officers, members and committees, a brief account of the objects of the society, and the by-laws of the society, all conveniently arranged. The program of General Arthur St. Clair Chapter, Indianapolis, Indiana, Mrs. Henry Clay Brubaker, regent, presents a year of study along various patriotic lines. The monthly meetings are held with different members. The year book of Mahoning Chapter, Youngstown, Ohio, Mrs. Howard B. Hills, regent, appears in an attractive cover bearing "Old Glory" done in colors with the American eagle perched on the staff. The study in historic subjects is interesting and educational. Many appropriate quotations appear within its pages. The year of study for Moline Chapter, Moline, Illinois, Mrs. William Butterworth regent, is on "Race Elements in the American PeopleScandinavians, Jews, Latin Races." The program is thoughtfully arranged. Columbia Chapter, Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Frank Tallmadge, regent, has brought out a year book containing a list of officials and members of the chapter, national and state officers, calendar of the chapter work, and by-laws. It also gives an outline of the work that will be undertaken by the various committees throughout the year. Puritan and Cavalier Chapter, Monmouth, Illinois, Mrs. Henry Staat, regent, outlines a year of study in colonial and Revolutionary subjects, more especially the latter. The cover is in the blue and white of the society and on the front is printed a picture of Memorial Continental Hall. RELICS AT VALLEY FORGE Twenty-five hundred ladies and gentlemen made a pilgrimage to Valley Forge last summer and were richly rewarded in viewing the relics and antiques that are open to the public in the memorial room. The three chairs that are included in the collection seemed to have more than their share of attention. One is an old arm-chair brought from England by Dr. Thomas Wynne on the ship Welcome, in 1682, and was presented to the headquarters by his descendant, Miss Sallie Wynne, of Wynnstay. Another is an old rocking-chair, once belongingto Colonel Edward Heston, the founder of Hestonville, which was presented by his great-granddaughter, Miss Mary Harding, and the third is a Windsor chair that belonged to Isaac Heston, a Revolutionary artificer, which was presented by his granddaughter, Miss Amanda Heston. Other articles of interest were pieces of needlework, dishes, and war relics. A very complete and descriptive list of the articles on exhibition was compiled by the Merion Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and distributed with the compliments of Mrs. Peter J. Hughes. OFFICIAL. THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE Daughters of the American Revolution Headquarters, 902 F Street, Washington, D. C. National Board of Management 1908. President General. MRS.
