familiarity with the military sources. A criticism of the work on its completion may be expected in the Graduates' Magazine.

An address by Dr. S. A. Green, '51, at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, on the occasion of dedicating a bronze tablet to the memory of his kinsman, Francis Green, H. C., 1760, has recently appeared in the report of the Boston School Committee. Francis Green was the earliest American advocate of the education of the deaf. About the year 1780 he published anonymously in England a book entitled "Vox Oculis Subjecta," well known to scholars interested in such studies. This, together with numerous contributions from his pen to newspapers in America, had a decided influence in directing public attention to the needs of this unfortunate and neglected class.

Volume iv of the Groton Historical Series is completed by the issue of No. 6, which announces the discontinuance of the publication, and is accompanied by an index to the four volumes, covering 60 closely printed pages. It is a fit occasion to call attention to the remarkable example of devotion to the spirit of local historical research furnished by Dr. Samuel Abbott Green, '51, a native of Groton, and now librarian of the Mass. Historical Soci

ety, in the editing and publishing of this series. The four volumes contain almost exactly 2,000 large octavo printed pages, filled with all manner of historical and descriptive detail. In the table of contents of volume iv we note such items as: Groton church records; mocking-birds in Groton; a wild deer in Groton; the old stagecoaches; the Groton post-office, etc. There have also been published by Dr. Green, and edited with the scrupulous fidelity characteristic of the man, at least four volumes: "Groton Records, 1662-78" (and later edition, 16621707); "Groton during the Indian Wars;" "Groton Epitaphs;' "“Boundary Line of Groton," and a large number of pamphlets not included in the Historical Series, most important of which

are Dr. Green's historical addresses on several occasions, notably at the Centennial celebration, July 4, 1876. It appears that Dr. Green has thus edited and published since 1875 considerably more than 3000 pages of local history. When it is considered that this town is not, like Lexington or Concord, prominent in the history of the state or of the nation, and that its population at present is only about 2,000, it appears doubtful whether any other town of equal size and relative importance has ever witnessed such filial devotion.
