His " Life of Our Lord " (dedicated to his eldest brother), has long been a standard work, has been recommended to students by Roman Catholic instructors, and has been reprinted in England ('63), and translated into Dutch ('69). It has undoubtedly made its author better known than any of his brothers among scholars and students.

Dr. Andrews is the only one of the six brothers who has never been a minister. But as a teacher and a physician he has had much occasion for study, and in earlier life he was an enthusiastic bot- anist. " Collinsia Andrewsiana " was named after him by Dr. Tor- rey. He has lately (1902) given his botanical collections, contain- ing several thousand specimens, to the Iowa Agricultural College. He has been a diligent student of the Bible, and has even been urged to prepare a work on Biblical theology. He has published much in the newspapers, editorially and otherwise. His religious

writings reflect the conservatism of the family as regards funda- mental Christian doctrines, none the less that, like at least two of his brothers, he has become an ardent believer in the restoration of the apostolic office. Living at a distance from any congrega- tion which accepts this view he attends St. Michael's Church, Mt. Pleasant ( Prot. Episc.). In spite of delicate health his life has been a busy one .*

Professor Andrews was enthusiastic and fearless in his search for truth, and was a stimulating teacher both of science and re- ligion. He was well fitted to shine in the pulpit, and was always in request as a preacher. In his boyhood he had longed to be a soldier, but he entered the army as a volunteer, like so many others, from an overmastering sense of duty. That he was "faithful and true in the discharge of every duty " as an officer was long afterwards said of him by the trained soldier General George Crook, whom by urgent and prolonged appeals to the authorities at Washington he had secured as the first colonel of his regiment.
In private life Professor Andrews was the most charming of companions. " He was at his best" in talking of " those great questions which belong to the philosophy of religion."
* My late classmate, James Nooney, Prof. Math., U. S. Navy, re- ports among the pleasures of his life meeting Dr. Andrews in the islands of the Pacific, enjoying social intercourse and establishing life-long friendship.

HISTORY OF CORNWALL.
The youngest of the brothers died first, and he had entered his sixtieth year ; the other five all passed the limit of threescore and ten, and four, of whom two are living (1903), reached the age of eighty.

THE CALHOUN FAMILY.
I am indebted to the patient work of Rev. Wm. Given Andrews for this record of the family, prepared at my request, perhaps not improved by my editorial pencil. The services of this remarkable family in the cause of education and religion are worthy of our study and remembrance. I have been favored with a personal acquaintance of most of the three generations. The highest hope of the future for our country rests in a "re- membrance of our fathers."
THE CALHOUN FAMILY.
Tradition affirms that to escape persecution in their native Scotland a part of the Calhoun family removed to the north of Ireland, and settled near Londonderry. Thence the brothers, David, James, and John, came to America, landing at New York in 1714. There separating, John went to South Carolina, James to Maryland, and David to Connecticut.
I. DAVID CALHOUN was born in Scotland about 1670. He settled at Stratford, Conn., but afterward moved to that part of "Ancient Woodbury " which is now Washington, about 1732. He m. Mrs. Catherine (Cox) Fairchild, by whom he had two daughters, who m. respectively a Hanna and a Clark, and six sons, who all married and lived on " Calhoun Street " in Washing- ton. These were
Joseph, b. 1728. David, b. 1736. Ebenezer. James, b. 1730. John, b. 1738. George.
David Calhoun lived to extreme old age, being almost a centenarian when he died. about 1769.
II. DR. JOHN CALHOUN, the fifth son of David, m. Dec. 28, 1768; Tabitha, dau. of Ebenezer and Abigail (Whitmore) Clark, b. June 18, 1740, and d. Nov. 23, 1796. He d. in 1788, leaving six sons and a daughter, viz .:
John, b. 30 Sept., 1769, d. 15 May, 1838. Daniel, b. 20 April, 1771, d. 28 Feb., 1852. Calvin, b. 14 Aug., 1773, d. Philo, b. 25 March, 1776, d. 25 June, 1850. Joseph Clark, b. 23 April, 1778, d. 23 May, 1804, at Cornwall. Sarah Ann, b. 28 Jan., 1781, d. 14 March, 1840. Jedediah, b. 27 April, 1783, d. 5 Jan., 1862.

HISTORY OF CORNWALL.
III. (1.) DR. JOHN CALHOUN, eldest son of the preceding, was b. about the time of his grandfather's death, at Washington, but removed to Cornwall, where he was a prominent citizen and successful physician for nearly half a century.

GOLD.
Little is known of the physical characteristics of the family in early times. They were active, patriotic men, God-fearing and law-abiding, but not so peaceable as to shirk duty at the call of their country. At the time of the British raid at Danbury, 1777, besides Lieut .- Col. Abraham Gold, who was killed at Ridgefield, we find eight names of Gold in a military company at Fairfield of about one hundred.
Major Nathan Gold rendered much military as well as diplo- matic service in settling boundary claims with the Dutch and with the Indians. His life was one of continual activity, and he enjoyed

general confidence and esteem, proved by his life long tenure of office.
The late Prof. Benjamin Apthorp Gould, Ph.D., LL.D., of Cambridge, Mass., made an elaborate search for all of the first four generations of persons in this country by the names of Gold, Gould, and Goold: twenty different families. In letter to me dated April 30, 1895, he says: " Your ancestral line seems to have been the most conspicuous for public position and influence of any one of the twenty families which I have discussed, but I do not know of the date of Nathan Gold's coming to America. If you can refer me to any documentary authority for it I shall be glad." This evidence is still wanted.
I print this list with such additional notes as I have collected :

JAY GOULD.
The change in the spelling of the name in some members of the family, but especially the life work of one man in develop- ing the material resources of the country, entitling him to be called one of the " Captains of Industry," induces me to trace the line of Mr. Gould from the beginning: Maj. Nathan Gold, Nathan2, Samuel®, Col. Abraham+, Abraham5, John Burr6, Jay7 ; some other lines have also changed the spelling, but in this I have the best au- thority that it was changed by John Burr.

With no personal acquaintance with Mr. Gould I have en- joyed many special opportunities of learning about his private life.
He not only gathered a fortune for himself, but this country - people of all classes have shared in this prosperity - and it is in carrying out his plans of public benevolence that Miss Helen Gould has so fitted herself by a business education that as an almoner of his bounty not only she endears herself to thousands by her well administered charities, but honors the name that has placed in her care such ample means to bless the world.
