RN i “A: Memoir To Jonathan Trumbuil, which principal address at the annual meeting of the New London County Historical Sogiety Wedresday afternoon at New London. - The meeting was held at the Shaw mauyion. : Of this former president of the soci-| oty, who was a lifelong resident of Norwich an1 who died here three years ago at his home on Perkins avenue, Rev. Dr. Howe presented the following memoir. Mr. President and Members of the New London County Historical = Soci- ety > I ‘deeply: appreciate the honor of your courteous _invfation to have part in thls Commémorative Service to one of your honored members who has récently laid down his activities as a member of your association. Especially as T am not an inheritor of these rich New England traditions which you make it your care to preserve and transmit.” Some of us must be content to observe and study these traditions from without and to regret that we could fiot have chosen New England as our birth-place. There comes upon us this regret and a sense of loneliness that we are not to the purple born. There is'a special propriety in such a service of Commemoration. This His- rical Society honors itself in memoral- izing this life, whose very name is sug- gestice of some of the richest of the New England traditions. Few New England names are so deeply cut into the com- monwealth and- the nation. To be well- born may carry heavy responsibilities, but the advantages are great. It is to no man's disadvantage to have some good family portraits; to come in the succession of a notable’ guild of patriots and have our place made for us by a dis- tinguished citizenry. To be well-born is an asset where it is worthily lived up to. While it is highly discreditable to dishonor family distinction it is doubly credtable to transmit a great family tradition. Trumbull’s True Courtesy Mr .Trumbull did not trade on the fine family inheritance or exploit the record made by his predecessors as an asset to be flaupted In the eyes of others but there was an atmosphere and a bearing that reminded you of inherited dignity and assured you that the patrician blood flowed in his veins. No one who saw him move among his fellows and marked his outward bearing, his fine and sus- tained courtesy, could fail of the im- pression that something fine and distinc- tive was holding over from the older and | honored generations. And yet there was about him what the contemporary ob- server did mot divine. There is about some men the undiscovered, the inartic- ulate, the latent, the unknown quali Many of his neighbors saw onl business man of high quality of rectitude and a & painstaking exactitude, or the public official grinding in the mills of | routine ,and did not dream of the rich openly exploited before the general pub- lic. He belonged to that guild of gifted souls that live their deepest life in sha- dow; a eclass whose hinterland is to casual observers undiscovered and to the world unexplored. There are those who retreat behind the veils of modes and Jive their real life apart from the mad-|° ding crowd. Business aptitudes or of- ficial fidelity inadequately defined this man. They did not absorb him or ade- quately describe him. deepest sense known. He seemed out of place among them. His affinities were for other things and his palmary apt He never came to his own in them. His| interest in large questions suggested other callings and pursuits. Interested In History and Literature His favorite engrossments were his- selves saying a hundred times a uni ity chair better befitted him than a bu { ness career. A poet's hand may be on} the plough-handles while his heart is with the Muse and one’s native air is Parnassus peaks while he breathes th mists of the shaded valleys. Such lives are inarticulate lives and need to Dej presented with a bunch of keys that will let them out into wider and more spatial regions. We wish some one would snap their chains and give them their c(’n:»nmli ether. We think of Burns chained to} the furrow. when he ought to be at the summit of Parpassus ,and of ‘Yo{ds- worth tethered by an exise commission- ership while the Cumberland hills called | him to eagle flights, and of Lamb tolling| in the mills in a government officialdom | when he should have been free to fojow | the beckoning hand of his native go.nhm. and of Stedman shut up in a banker's of- fice when he should have been free to ev rich his country’s literature. ‘And -we think of many like them who are limitad by callings into which can never flow the full gulf stream of life's strongest cur- rent. Abgorbed in Seeular Calling Mr. Trumbull seemed to many to be absorbed in a secular‘calling and did not know that he found time to make him- self a historic student who could have spoken with authority on the most not- able erps of his country's life. Few men were in such complete mastery of | the history and literature of the Amer can Revolution or could write With great- er fulness and clarity of thought and at-| tractive style than could he when the subject was his native commonwealth or| the stirring events of the Revolutionary period. He knew his subjects exhaust- ively. There were few men in whom the revolutionary ideals were more deeply imbedded. Heredity no doubt hadAmuch to do-with these tastes and aptitudes. It drove him to the study of colonial and Revolutionary histery and set fast the eolors which his inheritance brought him. He admired the men Who _ro(:kcd the cradle of our great national life and his character took on the type of that life. e Believed in America. He believed In the America of Wash- ington and Adams and Mamshall and of his own great ancestors. The very blood in his veins was Revolutionary He drank his patriotism Irom ]:!l::dmomr.ln springs which saved him from the passion of party and from iy- ing his fealty to the arts of the poliil- cian.

It was not strange that thele convic- tions found expression in authorship as his contributions to the American Scien- tific Encyclopedia and the life of his il- lustrious ancestor bear witness. But it was not alone in patriotic sub- jeets that the fire and passion of his mind and heart burned. He was a dili- gent student of our best literature and acquainted with the great authors and a reader of the best books. It was.not known to a wide circle of his acquaint- ances that he was a specialist of the GaveMenmr Mflathan Trambul was this man Shakespeare” and well he whose oceanic mind sinks us dwarfwood.

It. was perhaps only a few of us who gathered about him in these Shakesper- ian clubs who knew the extent of his knowledge and his published contribu- tions to the great Shakesperian cult. Some of us who belonged to these circles thought we knew our Shakespeare, but We Were soon made aware that we were in the presence of a master whose knowledge retired our- own to a ubor- dinate level. He not only knew hfs Ger- vinus and his Hudson and his Ulrict better than any of us, but he knew the great master with a first-handed knowi- edge that none of us ocould so fully claim. He was master of his Shakes- peare and was mastered by his master. I know few who knew better the best things said of ShaRa3speare, but he car ried his learning lightly as a flower. He went to the unfailing fountain for the source of his inspiratioh. I think he ful- ly endorsed Hazlitt who said, If you wish to know the force of human gen- ius read Shakespeare.” “If you want to see the insignificance of human learn- ing read the commentators.” It was Coleridge who said out of an omnisience few of his students ecan claim, “Merciful Heavens, what a man it entirely.
