WILLIAM AND MARY QUARTERLY 7I

OF SCEPTRED RACE. By Annah Robinson Watson, author of Some Notable Families of America, etc. Early Printing and Publishing Company, Memphis, Tennessee, i9io. Advanced Sheets.

This volume will doubtless appeal not only to members of the various families named in its pages, but to all who care for an artistic presentment of the study of ancestry. It is printed on the best paper, and is richly illustrated. Among the families traced by Mrs. Watson back to royal or noble ancestry are those of Washington, Lee, Reade, Lewis, Throckmorton, Meriwether, Prescott, Taylor, Rose, Roosevelt, Walker, O'Neill, Gill, Mansfield, Talcott, Saltpnstall, Cordner, Warner, Fauntleroy, West, Wat- son, Farnsworth, White, Robinson, Mosher, Holliday, Bond, Story, John- ston, Hogan, Winchester, Wilbour, Howard, Perkins.

Mrs. Watson's treatment of the pedigrees has been thorough and con- scientious, and she has studied to present a book of authority, difficult as that is when the authorities themselves like Dugdale, Burke, etc., are not without error. I predict that the work will take a high place in the libraries of the country, and Mrs. Watson is to be congratulated on the good work which she has done.
