The first part of this book, entitled “The Woodhull Family in England,” consists of “A Record of the Descendants of Walter Flanderensis,” otherwise called Walter de Wahulle. The second part is a “Record of the Descendants of Richard Woodhull I., of Brookhaven, Long Island,” to which is added an appendix containing notes on allied families, the work concluding with seventy-eight pages of biographical sketches. The frontispiece is a brilliantly colored copy of an heraldic painting on an oaken panel, called “The Wodhull Achievement,” and now in the possession of the Woodhulls of the State of New York. The few other illustrations are principally portraits. Paper and print are of good quality; the binding is of dark green cloth. The index is full, and in connection with it should be mentioned a long list of “References to the Woodhull Family in America” in books and periodicals. Blank leaves follow the index lettered “Births,” “Marriages,” and “Deaths.” ----- Footnote 1: THE REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS OF REDDING, CONN.

The people had always been opposed to heavy State taxes, but paid county taxes more willingly. So the gift of $500,000 to the Confederate government in 1861, and the $2,000,000 war tax of the same year were assumed by the State and bonds were issued.—Stat.-at-Large, Prov. Cong., C. S.
