A GENEALOGIST'S BOOK SHELF

Many pamphlets on the subject of genealogy have been published in the last decade or so, but, to the best of our knowledge, no book on the subject has come out recently until Mr. Donald Lines Jacobus published his Genealogy as Pastime and Profession (The Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor Company, New Haven, Conn.). It is not only the most recent book on genealogy, but it is the best we have ever read, not excepting Sir James Balfour Paul's able introduction to Mrs. Margaret Stuart's Scottish Family History, an excellent essay by one of the foremost genealogists of Great Britain and Scotland. Mr. Jacobus, recognized as one of our ablest genealogists to-day, editor and publisher of the New Haven Genealogical Magazine (Ancient families of New Haven), compiler of Families of Old Fairfield, and other well-known genealogical works, writes sanely and authoritatively. He bases his statements on his wealth of practical experience, and cites examples from his own cases. Knowing so well the many pitfalls into which an amateur at genealogy may stumble, he carefully points these out to his reader, and indicates how they may he avoided. He takes up such subjects as "Early Nomenclature", "Royal Ancestry", "Source Material", "How to Compile a Family History", etc. We heartily recommend this book to all who are interested in genealogists, and suggest that both amateurs and professionals may read it with pleasure and profit.
Mrs. Caroline Leonard Goodenough, of Rochester, Massachusetts, has recently published privately an account of her ancestry called Legends, Loves and Loyalties of Old New England. As this book is in no sense a formal genealogy, and was written to preserve for the descendants of her father and mother the records of their ancestors, it cannot be considered as a genealogical account of the entire Leonard family. If Mrs. Goodenough waxes sentimental at times, she is within her rights; if she appears a little too proud of her royal lineage, she has a right to

GENEALOGICAL RECORD

that pride; but when she (or her sister, whose notes are incorporated) deliberately omits certain descents from the earlier English kings because they originated illegitimately, we feel that she Is too prudish, forgetting that bastardy was not particularly a disgrace in twelfth century England. The liaison between Henry I and the Fair Rosamond is a lovely story, and the Cliffords are justly proud of their supposed descent from the royal lover and his beautiful lady. Concerning a descent from Roger Mortimer, Mrs. Goodenough says: "Half a score of Mayflower ancestors protest against such an infusion into the inheritance of their descendants." This, even though in another section of the book, she includes a descent from John Billington, the first man to take willfully the life of another in the Plymouth Colony. This seems a little inconsistent. In an appendix to the main section of the book, Mrs. Goodenough has included many skeleton pedigrees, showing her descent from various other pioneer families of New England. These are, in the main, the, accepted pedigrees of to-day. However, this reviewer must point out that it has never been proven that Peter Brown, of the Mayflower, was the father of Peter Brown, of Windsor, Connecticut. The Mayflower Society has consistently refused to accept this relationship, since no proof of it has ever been found. Although Mrs. Goodenough has depended on Browning's Americans of Royal Descent, a notoriously unreliable book, for her royal pedigree, we are not in a position to criticize her, for we do not know whether or not the Leonard descent from the barons Dacre has been authenticated. It should be remembered that many of the pedigrees given in Browning, he himself later repudiated, and many more of them have since been found faulty and incorrect. We hope that the new edition of Browning, being prepared by Mr. John S. Wurts, of Philadelphia, will include only such lines as have been actually proved by documentary evidence of indisputable nature. To return to Mrs. Goodenough's book, we regret that the index is so easily overlooked. It has been placed at the end of the main portion of the book and before the somewhat lengthy appendix, which takes up nearly a hundred pages, or almost a third of the volume. Incidentally we understand that this book is a revised and enlarged edition of an earlier volume, called Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskell Families, originally published in 1928.
