"Life and Times" four Informal American Biographies, by Meade Minnigerode, published by G. P. Putnams Sons, is a book that should be of interest to Dartmouth alumni.

The "Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy First Families of America, A Genealogical Encyclopedia of the United States," edited by Frederick A. Virkus under the direction of Albert Nelson Marquis, has been printed by A. N. Marquis & Company of Chicago. This is the first volume of a projected series which will give ultimately the genealogy of the descendants and early settlers of the United States. A list of these settlers is given with a short account of each, and reference is constantly made in the body of the work to this list. A good index and a simple method of tracing back from any given biography of an individual to these settlers makes the book a valuable addition to the library of the genealogist. The members of the patriotic societies, whose descent has been worked out for admission to these societies, have evidently been largely included in this first volume. The genealogies of many Dartmouth graduates will be found in this volume and the succeeding ones to be published later.
