are in the Library of Bishop of London at Fulham." There is in the Prince Library quite a large collection of ecclesiastical history and biblical literature. The psalms in numberless versions, metres, and paraphrases, in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek; one hundred and six volumes on natural, polemic, and practical theology. All his own works are to be found here; as many as thirty-three sermons, mostly funeral discourses, others commemorating great events, such as victories at Culloden and Louisburg. He gave frequently the genealogy of the person eulogized in his funeral orations, thus making them valuable for family reference, and often of historical significance. We easily trace the early bent of his mind toward chronology. It gathered force throughout his whole career, and finally bore fruit in his own "Chronology of New England," on which he spent many years of preparation. He said himself, when he presented it in person to the House, of which Hon. Mr. Quincy was speaker, in 1736: "I most humbly present to your honor, and this honorable house, the first volume of my 'Chronology of New England,' which at no small expense and pains I have composed and published for the instruction and good of my country." He published three parts of the second volume, and made elaborate preparations for its continuance. He began his work at the patriarchal period, and brought it down with careful attention to reliable facts into the earliest annals and descriptive history of Plymouth Colony, throwing light on the mode of living and thinking of the Puritans by copious quotations from their diaries. If his diligent and inquisitive mind could have completed this wonderful production,--bringing it to the middle of the 18th century,--it would have been such a perfect and minute account of the early history of New England that there would have been nothing for later historians to glean. It was, however, unappreciated at the time of its publication, which was a discouragement to him, though he always maintained, with his peculiar insight into the needs of coming ages, that the time would surely arrive when his patient and laborious work would meet with some reward,--a prophecy which has been more than fulfilled as far as the historians of New England are concerned.
