Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College: With Annals of the College History, October, 1701 May, 1745 Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College, down to the year 1767, were prepared, with more or less fullness, by the Hon. Ralph Dunning Smyth (Y. C. 1827), of Guilford, Connecticut, who died in 1874. The manuscript of these sketches was given to the College by his widow, and has served as the original basis for those now printed; but so much labor has been expended upon the subject-matter by the present compiler, that no part of the work as published can fairly, either as to form or as to substance, be represented as Mr. Smyth´s, though his researches were almost indispensable to the undertaking. Next in value to Mr. Smyth´s collections, are the notes made by the late Edward Claudius Herrick, Librarian of the College from 1843 to 1858; these also are the property of the College, and have been of material assistance, as those would expect who remember that acute and careful scholar. Besides these, the lists of "Authorities" appended to the Biographical Sketches are intended to designate the principal sources of information, though many other sources, especially in manuscript, have been consulted. In his pursuit of facts, the editor has been obliged to draw on the kindness of many friends and correspondents, and desires here to acknowledge the invaluable aid thus received. The arrangement of the volume will be easily understood. The Annals of each College year, ending with Commencement Day, are given in order, and annexed to this survey of each year are Biographical Sketches of those graduating at its close; these sketches of each Class are arranged in alphabetical sequence, preceded by the Class-list as it has always stood (in Latin) in the Triennial Catalogue of Graduates, in which the names were entered (until the Class of 1767) in the order of family rank.
