It is stated in the preface that, though many circumstances render it probable, yet the connection between the German William and the English John Anthony has not been established as certain. John was the grandson of Dr. Francis Anthony, the celebrated physician and chemist, whose “potable gold” was proclaimed by him as a cure for all diseases. Another famous person connected with the Anthony family was Gilbert Stuart, the artist, of whom a biography of considerable length is furnished. Biographical sketches, indeed, are frequent, one of Susan B. Anthony being particularly noticeable. Appended to the genealogy are extracts from the Vital Records of Rhode Island relating to the Anthonys, followed by a chapter on the Nova Scotia branch. The illustrations are chiefly portraits, among them, however, being a coat-of-arms in color. There is a good index, and typographically the volume is fine. * * * * * HISTORY, GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL, OF THE MOLYNEUX FAMILIES. By NELLIE ZADA RICE MOLYNEUX. Syracuse, N. Y.: C. W. BARDEEN, Publisher. 1904. Square 8vo. pp. 370. Ill. Robert Molyneux, known as the “Comte de Meulin,” is the ancestor whose descendants are recorded in this volume. “The Lineage of the English Branch,” “Lineage of the Irish Branch,” “Molyneux of the West Indies,” “Staffordshire and Sussex Branches,” and “Unclassified”—these sections together with one entitled simply “Molyneux,” form the principal divisions of the work. The last-named chapter contains the Molyneux of America. The name is associated with aristocracy, and persons and places of high degree are frequently described. The list of authorities preceding the genealogy shows a large proportion of works on the peerage of Great Britain. The genealogy possesses, therefore, much historical interest, the narrative portion of the work equalling in extent that of the vital statistics. The appendix is a specimen of the literary talent of a Molyneux, entitled “Gleanings After a Harvest of Twenty Years in Roman Fields.” The index is full, the print beautifully clear, and the margins wide. * * * * * LASHER GENEALOGY.
