hose quickening power guided the high school for twenty-seven years, spent his leisure in adding to the world's knowledge of flowers and trees. The Flora of Middlesex County, Typical Elms and Other Trees of Massachusetts and the Hand-book of the Trees of New England, with Ranges throughout the United States and Canada, are valuable monuments to his exact observation and industry. Elizabeth Gleason Bigelow, a pupil, made many careful drawings to illustrate the Hand-book of Trees. Rosewell B. Lawrence has written a complete handbook of the Middlesex Fells, with maps; and a series of letters of travel, Egypt and the Holy Land. The Rev. Bradley Gilman, a high school graduate of 1875, now a Unitarian clergyman, is the author of From a Parsonage Porch, Back to the Soil, Roland Carnaquay, and juvenile stories under the name of Walter Wentworth.

So fifty dollars (on the latter basis) would seem not an undue figure for the day of Colonel Royall, but the old fashioned time-piece would suffer in comparison with the modern Waltham watch. Collector Robert Hale is supposed to have been His Majesty's customs officer at the port of Newbury, Mass.
