The plan of this genealogy being original and very peculiar, we will quote the author’s own description of it: “As far as known to the author no work has ever been published following the plan of this work.... Beginning with the ancestral head of Part I., he is called the trunk. The trunk divides into limbs, the limbs into branches, they into twigs. The twigs bear buds which bring forth blossoms, and the blossoms grow into fruit. So the seven parts of the tree answer to the seven generations of Part I.” While it gives what one must call a bizarre appearance to the page to head its columns of names “twigs,” “buds,” “blossoms,” “fruit,” it may be that such an arrangement, when understood, is as simple as any commonly used. Mr. Nance claims that it has advantages over others. Be that as it may, the genealogy is an excellent one, very abundant in biographical facts, forming thereby a detailed history of the family, profusely illustrated, well printed, and handsomely and substantially bound. * * * * * THE TENNEY FAMILY, OR THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS TENNEY OF ROWLEY, MASSACHUSETTS. 1638–1904. Revised, with partial records of PROF. JONATHAN TENNEY. By M. J. TENNEY. Concord, N. H.: THE RUMFORD PRESS. 1904. 8vo. pp. 691. Ill. The original edition of this work was published in 1891, containing a little more than half of the material of the present one. The praise which was accorded to it as a full and precise record is in a greater degree merited by this volume. The arrangement of the contents of this is the same as that of the other edition, the opening section being “Our English Home,” to which succeed the ten “generations” of the genealogy, an appendix having been added relating to Deacon William Tenney, brother of Thomas. An index of more than sixty pages is a thorough guide in the use of the book. The letterpress is clear, the illustrations nearly all full-page portraits, and the binding of cloth. A colored coat-of-arms serves as frontispiece. * * * * * WOODHULL GENEALOGY. THE WOODHULL FAMILY IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. Compiled by MARY GOULD WOODHULL and FRANCES BOWES STEVENS.
