They were greeted by the bers of the club, who constituted the committee of arrangements, Mrs. Wa- terman R. Burnham, chairman, Mrs. Burrill W. Hyde, Mrs. Nelson D. Rob- inson, Miss Gerr, Miss Lucy Geer, Mrs, B, P. Bishon, Miss Eliza W. Avery, Miss Fhebe H. Brewster and Mrs. Wal- de Tillinghast, Miss Annie Tillinghast of Plainfleld and Mrs. George A.

Dr. Pratt’s Paper, Dr. Pratt's address was upon Gov- ernor Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation. The recovary in 1897 of the original manuseript was a mat- ter of prime importance for a clear knowledge of the early hisiory of New England. This ruanuscript had ULeen uszd by Morton in 1689, Prince in 1736, 2nd Governor Hu‘.hinson in 1 was kept in the Steeple cham the Old South church and afier eleze of Besten ir mysteriously appeared, and as i{ime went on 't v given up as hepelessiy lost. But 1844 Samuel Wilberforce wmade searches for original decuments in the bishop of Lendon's library at Fulham 2nd several extracts made there were recognized ten years later as being taken from Bradford’s manuscript. How it came te be transferred from the library in the Steeple chamber in the Old Sowth church, Boston. to that in the Episcopa! palace at Fulham is not explained; but the probability is that it was carried over hy English soléiers during or after our revolution- lr}' war and that it was taken to Fui- alace by seme officer who know th‘t he bish of London had juris- diction over all the colonies outside of the Britlsh isles. Seven requests to the biskes from this country to re- store the book were refused by him. Senator Hear, however, in 18396, se- cured its return te America. Dafors it left England a fae-simile was repro- duced frem which 350 copies were rrinted. History ef Plymouth Colony. By very many the boek is ealled, in- 12 of the dis- as in T | history of the Piymouth colony, chiefly in the form of anmnals, extending from the imception of the colony down to the year 1647. It gives an account of the onigin of religious dissent in deccribes the siufferings ¢f the persecuted enes in Bngland. telis of the departure te Helland, of their manner of living there, of the rea- aons and causes of their remeval from Helland ever the “vast and furious” ocean, the cenflict of opinion over where to go. and then the considera- tiems thzt moved them te make tne attempt. A minute account is given «f their nesgotiatiens in England and ¥oliand, of their difficulties about money, fcod. ships, destination, the delays, the long voyage, their groping approach to Plymouth, and their de- Larkatie: As the history preceeds year by year, few things are omitted that a noble curiesity could desire te leok ints, and! as it s in the ferm of arnals it has the privileze of stopping where it will and the work brought down to 1646 was finished as far it went. Fine Hamdwriting. Bradferd’s Jowrna! is a large guarto ©f 230 pages, written for the most part on one side ,ef the paper only. It iz bound in e vellum like an accoun boek and is ewhat discoiored. The histers is written in handwriting of mimgular clearness—the letters arc formed seperately. The work falls into twe g¢ivisions—an introductory chapter tell the story up to the woint of the ocoupation of New Plym- vuth, and the second boek of ammals. “These wers probably begun as late as 1644 framm “‘seribbled wrikings’ Begun “abeut 1830 and so peaced up at times «f leasure afterwarés.” The last en- tr; dated 1646, was probably written in 1680. The English in which it is “ritten is that ef the I!ible or perhaps the mere popuiar language of the Pil- grim’s Promress. Bradford uses it with great effect. He also cenieimed to the usage of the highest dignitaries in his varied or- hograpky. He srells Connecticut in tan different ways and none of them the way wa know. Here and there we come upsn expressions which have wecome archale, murderers, mean- ing small guns; extravegents, wander- efs frem their place; ‘“he that cund the shin,~ kept loekeut. He writes of ©Oldham that he had been the ‘“chief stickler in a former factien ” and “ramr more like a furious beast than aan” until “he was clapt up a while. One =athers little from his ®boek of his ewn personal histery and character. FHe seems to have joined ! f feit persecutien and to. have been im the first party that escaped to Ley- ©f his life there he says noth- ing. ©f his life in America he tells of his illness and being near “ye point T and after Govermor Carver’s speaks eof himself till 1646 “the governer.” We learn 2bout his family enly from the Appendix. This relicence showed his modest and re- =erved character. and alse his com- plete abgor] in the fortumes of the church and celens. to which he devot- ed kimself and hi= werk. Affections Were Deep. He carries this devetion to Pivmouth to the faull of narrewness, but his af- fec! , if narrew, were also deep. The confldence in him was shown in twelve elections as governor. His #itanism was of the earlier type which had not begum te frown upon cuiture, ¥ which austerity had net turmec to sourness, nor lost its sym- pathy with the manv-sided interests of uman iife. He shows that he was a man of comsiderable reading. iHe was aise a careful observer of nature—not @s much of natural beauty as of nat- wral phencmera. One further ftrait wust Be noticed witheut which this ekeich weuld fail to do him justice— his invaiueble semse of humoe: This 1= shown im many ef his eomments snd in hie aealing with practical difcul- Father of American History.

Gov- ernor Bradford has been described as the prototype of rhe long pead roll of Americ rule by cee choice of their breth- ren. Plymouth had in him the man she ne.ded for the rejuirements of her early existence, for watching over her stragsling infancy, for the difficult task of ruling strong-willed men by their own consent without the aid of traditional autkhority. srave, indefat- izable, public-spirited, ke>n-sighted, uniting an_ardent jealousy for her welfar. .ith an entire abnegation of self, he eclevated tle whole tone of life, public and private, by the exam- ple of his blameless and sincerely re- ligicus life, .
