as well as

"m" stood for "em"; "" "for "en "' .66 r " for " er", "ber " and "eir " ;"; 668 11 for "is" and as "t" for "at"; and "y" for "ey". Syllables in the middle or at the end of words were sometimes written as superiors, though often without abbreviation.

The words "shall be " and "will be " were frequently written. "shalbe" and "wilbe ".

The article "ye" needs explanation. It is really "the", and should be so pronounced. The y in this word represents the Anglo-Saxon character which was equivalent to the English "th". When the Old English black-letter type replaced the Anglo-Saxon letters in the printing of English words, from its close. resemblance to the Anglo-Saxon character for "th" the Old English was substituted for it, and continued to be so used so long that people became accustomed to using the y for "th" in writing the article "the" and some other words.

ANSWERS.

Sarah Hart, who married George Norton Oct. 7, 1669, was a daughter of Thomas and Alice Hart, and was born in Ipswich in 1647. Thomas Hart was a tanner by trade, and one of the earlier settlers of Ipswich, being one of the commoners in 1641. He was born in 1606, and died in Ipswich March 8, 1673-4. His wife, Alice, born in 1612, died June 8, 1682.-Ed.

36. Rev. Hugh Peters, minister of Salem about 1636, afterwards executed by Charles II., had a brother William2 of Boston, and was a son of William Peters1 of Torrey, Cornwall, England. The young

men

came over in 1634. William's son Andrew3, of Ipswich and Andover, came here some time after the arrival of Mary Beamsley, and an amusing account of Andrew's3 arrival and first experience of Boston mud is given in a private manuscript belonging to Rev. Anson Titus. He is called a young Holland by the lady who was watching, and his notice was attracted, leading to a marriage. Boston records would probably give other facts and dates.-C. H. Abbott, Andover.
