ACORN CLUB. . 1904 Born in Stonington, Connecticut, December 20, 1831; received his first degree at Yale College as a member of the Class of 1842; removed to Hartford, where he passed the remainder of his life, in 1847; served for the next five years and later for three more years as Assistant Secretary of the State, between which periods he was for a year State Librarian, the first to hold that office; Secretary of the State for five years, including the full period of the Civil War; first librarian of the Watkin- son Library of Reference, holding that position from 1863 to January, 1891; Presi- dent of the Connecticut Historical Society from 1863 to 1889; Secretary of Foreign Correspondence of the American Antiquarian Society from 1874; an original mem- ber and for one year President of the American Philological Association; member of many other learned societies—such is the briefest outline of the principal events in the life of James Hammond Trumbull, whose death occurred August 5, 1897. But above and beyond all these he was ever a student and a scholar, a man who seemed to be familiar with every subject. He was the foremost authority on the languages of the American Indians. His knowledge of books was second to that of no person in this country. \ AN APPRECIATION OF JAMES HAMMOND TRUMBULL By Miss ANNIE E, TRUMBULL In one of the very few bits of personal data left by the late J. Hammond Trum- bull, he says of himself that he has not been an idle man, but that he 1s not likely to be known as the doer of the great part of the work that he accomplished—an estimate which has been proved to be nearer the truth than have been many auto- biographical judgments. That he was an idle man, no one who knew him even slightly or through correspondence is likely to assert, but perhaps no one who has not seen the pages of transcription of old records, in the beautifully regular and perfectly legible handwriting that he never lost, the ms. folios of Indian words and their grammatical inflections, the many carefully prepared pamphlets on many subjects from Algonkin roots to garden simples, the columns of newspaper contri- butions, the genealogical trees, the mass of bibliographical notes and the very large correspondence, much of which relates to questions from strangers, acquaintances and friends alike, can realize how far from idleness were the activities of more than seventy years. A considerable proportion of these questions, from those dealing with the Indian names for summer homes to the marriage ties of great grandfathers, required categorial answers, involving some research, which, for many years of a necessarily busy existence were rendered with meticulous attention, and, be it said, without thought on either side of financial considerations. Recognized as an authority on the languages of North America and the colonial history of New England, as well as in the later paths of bibliography, a large part of the work to which he gave unstinted hours, has become, nevertheless, associated with the names of others rather than with his own, a natural enough consequence of the variety of interests which prevented his being content to till one field and to forget neighboring preserves which promised rewards to even a cursory agriculture. It is not surprising that a letter addressed by him while still a young man to James Savage, the accomplished compiler of the Genealogical Dictionary, should have been inscribed “From J. H. Trumbull, the Worker’—a letior returned to the writer, by Mr. Savage’s daughter, many years after. The facts and dates of his biography have been given in several publications and need not be repeated here; it is more fitting that a few words be said of those - tastes and occupations which are reflected in his collection of books and add a certain interest, at least, to the present sale. It is a collection which illustrates a diversity of what it is perhaps not too much to entitle gifts. His college course having been interrupted by ill- health, to remedy which he was obliged to spend much time in the open air, he became absorbed in the study of shells—a study favored by his home on the shore of Long Island Sound—and was a valued corres- spondent of the late James Linsley, an older scholar who exchanged with him data and specimens to their great mutual satisfaction and who credited him with the discovery of several polyps—or words to that effect. It is possible that it was this early training that made him so alert to details of natural science, instanced in his correspondence with scientists like the botanist Asa Gray, and the ichthyologist Spencer F. Baird. His devotion to the history of New England, historically and genealogically considered, was also an early one—inherited from and shared by his father Gurdon Trumbull—himself no mean antiquarian—and led him into the deciphering of ancient manuscripts and a familiarity with cipher itself, which has left its traces in the small but valuable assemblage of little volumes, dealing with shorthand and its attendant familiars; while the number of local histories and books of family lineage, with many notes and interlinear comments, testify to his preference for what it may be, too fluid an epithet to pronounce the fountain-heads of information. His attachment to books as books made itself felt during his tenure of state office, for it was he who made the first move in the direction of a well arranged State Li- brary in Connecticut. Finding the books owned by the State in a sort of loft “over the Secretary’s office” in the old City hall, he says in some ms. notes, “inconvenient of access and almost uncared for, I appropriated the east end of the lobby or upper hall; had it partitioned off, a comfortable room finished and furnished, ample for the accommodation of the library, then, but far too small now (1864), transferred the books thither, and next Spring, finding that my proceedings (which were without especial ‘warrant of law’ so far as the building a room was concerned) met the cordial approval of the Legislature, I drew and procured the passage of a resolution which provided for the immediate and progressive increase of the library, by the ~ completion of its series of American reports.’ Much later his plan for the founding of the Watkineen Library of Rotinance of Hartford, of which he became librarian was pronounced to be remarkably compre- hensive and discriminating, and his pursuit of its affairs during that part of his life in which he was actively engaged in its management was of such a persistent nature as to draw from a juvenile member of his family the naive inquiry as to whether at the attainment of adult life she was to be permitted to read “catalogues”—publica- tions which had become for her invested with the lure of a profound and irresistible fascination. His library of books ir and upon the Languages of North America Bene the property of the Watkinson Library, by purchase, soon after his eat Always enthusiastically interested in the achievements of Gonneeaeen jealous of her rivals and indignant with her traducers, he found time to explain, subvert and expand matters which concerned her in pamphlets, magazine articles and news- papers, and no trifles of reminiscence were so unconsidered that he did not find them worthy of a certain longevity—a fact which has imparted to members of his household an almost superstitious reverence for a stray leaf or a forgotten program of exercises—a sentiment standing somewhat in the way of the austerity of dis- crimination when it has come to a question of final disposal. Among other episodes of such history his attention was rivetted by that of the Case of Elizabeth Canning which drew into its toils so many Englishmen of parts, including Henry Fielding. The collection of publications dealing with this cause célebre is perhaps more nearly complete than that of any other extant, although the circle of its interested com- mentators can hardly be an extended one today. Another little group of books dealing with one subject is that which concerns itself with Liberty Caps and other emblems, owing its inception, I fancy, to some question or casual paragraph which aroused an investigator’s instinct, among them being one from the library of Thomas Hollis, with his autograph and book-plate. It is to be expected that the library should be generous in its provision of books printed in Connecticut and in the sermons of its eminent divines, such as the ‘Reverend Thomas Hooker. The theological magnet was sufficiently powerful to draw into the New England circuit the utterances of earlier protesting preachers and divines, reaching even to those of Luther and Erasmus, some of whose rare tracts are to bé found among more native polemics, clouded, as they sometimes were, by mists of once famous local controversies. One of the founders and presidents of the American Philological Association, Dr. Trumbull not only prepared for it papers upon many aspects of the Indian lang- uages, but was led into byways of derivations and similitudes and felicities of other tongues. His facility of language was undeniable, although he spoke none but English with ease, but he learned to read, with but little difficulty, any that hap- pened to be of even transient use to him, and that exquisite penmanship, perhaps already sufficiently dwelt upon by one having the advantages of its intimate obser- vation without what should have been emulation, made his transcription of Greek and Arabic and Hebrew and even the Egyptian hieroglyphics, that of an expert. Thus his library contains many dictionaries and grammars and books on words, even to Chinese commentaries, and incursions into the tangled web of the deceits of phonetic spelling—that lure of spirits even graver than those of Philogical Associa- tions. These susceptibilities are of course shared by many readers who have found several departments of research more fascinating than absorption in a single one, with its advantage of acknowledged authority, but they have certainly the com- pensations of wide appeal and swifter reactions. Moreover there was opportunity for the employment of many odd bits of gleaned information in the preparation of that catalogue of the library of his friend Mr. George Brinley, which is said to be of permanent value to bibliographers—so far, at least, as one reckons such perma- nency of achievement. Never able to spend large sums on the purchase of books, his own library is the result rather of what he would have called lucky finds, to- gether with what were certainly discrimination in choice, of quick recognition of values and of a genuine love of historical indications and illuminations. What would have always been his great pleasure in his long friendship with Mr. Brinley was naturally cemented by their common interest in books and their mutual satisfac- tions in the incitements and excitements of discovery and acquisition. His wide correspondence with men in various departments of scholarship has left a mass of letters from philologists like William D. Whitney and James Hadley of Yale, English scholars like F. J. Child of Harvard and T. R. Lounsbury of Yale, historians like George Bancroft, Francis Parkman and J. G. Palfrey with historical writers too numerous to mention, among them Robert C. Winthrop and Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Franklin B. Dexter, editors like Henry Martyn Dexter, William Hayes Ward and William P. Garrison, Henry L. Wayland, bibliographers like Henry Stevens of the British Museum, George H. Moore, W. H. Whitmore and Mr. Wilberforce Eames—a list which would be too long to complete. Besides these there are many occasional communications from writers, classed as men of letters rather than as specialists, like E. C. Stedman, Henry Adams, Thomas L. Higgin- son, and Dr. Edward E. Hale, together with single letters regarding some particular bit of work or information, like his Indian paraphrase of some lines of Hiawatha which drew an acknowledgment from Longfellow. There is great temptation to transcribe some of the wit and criticism and gracious acknowledgement of these correspondents, whose letters often cover years of exchange, but there is no place for them here: it is enough to say that traces of them also are to be found in his library _in the form of autographed publications and unclassified monographs, bearing wit- ness to this same variety of interests which made other men’s specialties at least transiently his own. Among these more notable communications there are inquiries and acknowledgments without number in the spheres of the Indian languages, New England history and genealogy and the value of those volumes found when country garrets give up their dead theology and “occasional” verse; from the probable price of an old spelling-book or the importance to mankind of a paper prepared by a later, but still unknown, author, upon a corner of the province of knowledge. One may smile at the ingenuousness of requests to. immediately send an Indian name for a racing filly—preferred through a secretary—or one to suspend other operations and find out at once, for the benefit of an entire stranger, if a lady friend of the writer had been legitimately committed: to the Hartford Retreat. Such requests undoubtedly form part of the correspondence of many men who have taken “a look in” to many channels of information, but breed, nevertheless, a gentle won- der at the number of people to whom the time of a busy man isa valueless asset. Irrelevant as these appear in the midst of technical inquiries from scholars and specialists regarding some detail of their own work upon which they felt their corre- spondent could throw light, Iam quite sure from a general knowledge of the recipi- ent’s character, that the draft was honored when at all possible, even when it en- croached upon capital which seemed to belong to other outlays. That many of these episodes should find their more permanent and impersonal representation in his library is to be expected, and while the greater part of his books belonging to what one may term pure literature, such as verse, novels,essays and plays, have been withheld from, the present sale, there are many proofs of this tendency to loiter outside of his own accepted field, from the product of early printing-presses to pamphlets upon Civil Service Reform. What must of necessity become the scat- tered items of a collection of books thus made and cherished with intelligence and abiding interest, are now offered for sale in the hope that they will become the property of those who will find and value in them some of the same interest and a kindred sympathy of possession. ANNIE E. TRUMBULL Hartford, Connecticut, March, 1921 PREFATORY NOTE The Library of the late James Hammond Trumbull herein catalogued comprises his entire collection of books and tracts other than those left to Historical Institu- tions, and is one of the most important collections of Connecticut Historical mate- rial gathered by a Private Collector, and to be offered at public sale within recent years.

Among the many literary treasures will be found some of the more notable books and tracts of Colonial and Revolu- tionary period relating to this and other sections of New England. The collection is rich in eighteenth century historical sermons and tracts, including a number of works by the celebrated divines of the period.

Many of the books or pamphlets are autographed or inscribed by their author, to Mr. Trumbull, while a number of them have additional historical or biographical notes on margins added by the late owner during his studies and researches in New England history, a feature adding to the historical interest of the items.

Bradley, Jr., for the years, 1847-1873, and 1880 Published by State of Connecticut, for the years, 1888 and 1891 Of this important Connecticut item, very little information regarding the earlier issues is at hand.

RARE TRACT, PROTESTING AGAINST BOTH POPISH AND QUAKER LITERATURE. Dated at end, Oct. 9, 1654, and signed by the following London stationers,—Luke Fawne, Samuel Gellibrand, Joshua Kirton, John Rothwell, Thomas Underhill and — Nathaniel Webb. One of several controversial tracts, the first of which, entitled, A Beacon set on Fire, by the same writers as the above, was published in 1652, and brought forth in answer, The Beacon Flaming with a Non Obstante, by Francis Cheynell, and The Beacon Quenched, presumably by Roger Williams, both the same year, 1652. Roger Williams, in a letter to Gregory Dexter, dated 8th, 7, 52, speaks of these tracts, and also of a Second Beacon Fired. As the above was not published until two years later, and if the date given for this letter is correct, there may have been an earlier tract bearing the same title, although no other mention of a similar tract can be found George Fox also makes a reply to the above, in his The Great Mystery of the Great Whore, London, 1659.

The Epilogue is either by the author of the “Modern Epic,” or an excellent imitation of his style.” . . . Excerpt from Dr. Trumbull’s bibliography.

Requesting him to add his name to those of the other subscribers in a petition going before Gov.

Trumbull, are corrections made after having collated Hazard’s Notes with the original documents. The note reads in part,— “Hazard’s copy of the Records of the Comm’rs of the United Colonies was made from that of the Plymouth Colony, now in the Secretary’s office in Boston. I have collated this volume with—and corrected it by—the Connecticut copy of the Records; ae References to original minutes of sessions, not recorded in either the Ply- " : mouth or Connecticut copies, correspondence, etc. are given in their places. It goes F without saying that this volume contains the most trustworthy Records of the Commissioners, of higher authority than the Plymouth, or than the Connecticut a MS.

This work is attributed to Hubert Languet, friend of Sir Philip Sydney, and an ardent Protestant. The English translation was the work of William Walker, the actual executioner of King Charles I.

The manuscript notes in the book, give a biographical sketch of Languet and extracts from various works relating to him and the subject of the work, the Rights of the People. INSERTED Is A RARE BROADSIDE entitled,—King Killing. Shall Kings alone claim exemption from Law, an impunity of Wickedness?

MorMoniIsM.—Continued] In the year succeeding the first settlement (1831) of the Mormons in Missouri, the first settlers of the district determined to drive the new-comers from the country. The outrages which followed, in 1838, when the Mormons began to resist by force, placed them in the wrong, and Governor Boggs called out the militia to suppress the insurrection. After a skirmish at Haughlin’s mill, the Mormons gave up their arms and agreed to leave the state, their leaders being later tried.

The plaintiff bought meat of the defendant, a butcher, and tendered him certain paper money issued by act of the General Assembly of Rhode Island, which was refused. The defendant pleaded ‘that it appears the Act had expired, and hath no force’. ‘The whole community’, says Mr. Updyke, ‘was stirred to its very foundation. Upon its issue was involved the destiny of thousands. Public feeling was intense upon its result. The crisis arose, and the experiment was on trial, whether the people were capable of self-government; and upon the issue depended the fate of the nation’. ay 905, [RoBinson (MATTHEW).] Considerations on the Measures Carrying on with Respect to the British Colonies in North-America.
