MISCELLANIES.
FIRST ENGRAVING IN NEW HAVEN.
The primary cause of the first regular engraving being performed in New Haven appears to have been the bat- tle or action at Lexington. When the news of this affair reached New Haven, Arnold, as has been stated, started with about forty volunteers. Among this number were Mr. Amos Doolittle, and a Mr. Earl, a portrait painter. These young men were, no doubt, powerfully excited by what they saw and heard at the scene of action, and on their return to New Haven endeavored to show to their excited countrymen pictorially the opening scenes of the great contest which had now fully begun.
Mr. Earl appears to have made the drawings for Mr. Doolittle, who engraved the plates. Both their perform- ances were probably their first attempts in these arts, and consequently were quite rude specimens. Accord- ing to the statement of Mr. Doolittle, he acted as a kind of model for Mr. Earl to make his drawings, so that when he wished to represent one of the Provincials as loading his gun, crouching behind a stone wall when firing on the enemy, he would require Mr. D. to put himself in such a position. Although rude, these engravings appear to have made quite a sensation ; particularly the battle of Lexington, where eight of the provincials are represented as shot down, with the blood pouring from their wounds.
The annexed engraving was copied from a large print 18 by 12 inches : there were four of this size published, as appears from the following advertisement in the " New Haven Journal :"

Dec. 13th, 1775.
If we except an engraving of the Massacre at Boston, in 1770, and the Landing of the British in Boston, in 1774, by Paul Revere, of Boston, these prints may be considered as the first regular series of historical engrav- ings ever published in America
Both Mr. Earl and Mr. Doolittle were members of the Governor's Guard at New Haven, and both went on to Cambridge as volunteers, under Arnold, immediate- ly on receiving the news of the conflict at Lexington and Concord. The house denominated " The Public Inn," No. 6, in the engraving, is still standing. The church seen in the engraving was taken down in 1794, and a new one erected in its place. Mr. Earl's drawing was taken on the spot, a short time after the action took place, and it may be presumed to be a correct representation of the opening of the great drama of the American Revolution.
Mr. Doolittle, the engraver, died Jan. 31st, 1832, aged 78 years, after having industriously applied himself to the business of engraving more than half a century. The " Battle of Lexington" was his first attempt at the art, and it is somewhat remarkable that, on the last day he was able to perform any labor, he assistcd one of the au- thors of this work in engraving the reduced copy of this print now annexed to this publication.
The scene represented in this engraving cannot with any propriety be called a " battle," though thus spoken of by most historians. It is memorable only as the spot where the first American blood was shed ; where the first American life was taken, in the Revolution.

On the night preceding the 19th of April, 1775, a detachment of about 800 men, under Col. Smith and Major Pitcairn, were ordered to proceed with the greatest secrecy to Concord, (about 17 miles from Boston,) and destroy the military stores collected by the Americans at that place. Their movements, however, were dis- covered, and the country was alarmed by church bells, signal guns, &c. The British troops arrived at Lexington (10 miles from Bos- ton) a little before 5 o'clock in the morning. At this time the Lex- ington militia had assembled, to the number of 50 or 60, at the beat of the drum. When within about 40 rods of the meeting-house, the British officers ordered their men to halt, and then prime and load ; they then marched suddenly into the sight of our men, who were collecting as above, about 12 or 13 rods distant. Capt. Park- er, who commanded the militia, seeing the great number of the regulars, ordered his men to disperse. The British troops, as soon as they discovered the Americans, huzzaed, and rushed rapidly to- wards them, headed by three of their officers. One of these, Maj. Pitcairn, rode up to the militia, cried out, " Disperse, you d-d reb- els ! throw down your arms, and disperse !" He fired his pistol, and then ordered his men to fire on the retiring militia, which they continued to do till eight men were killed and ten wounded. The British troops proceeded to Concord, destroyed what they could of the public stores, and were then forced to retreat, hotly pursued by the Americans on every side. Had they not been reinforced by Lord Percy, at Lexington, it is doubtful whether any of the de- tatchment would have been able to return to Boston.
COL. JOHN TRUMBULL, the Father of American His- torical Painting, spent most of his last years in New Ha- ven. He was born in Lebanon, June 6th, 1756, and was the son of Jonathan Trumbull, the patriotic Governor of Connecticut during the Revolution. He was one of the aids of Washington, and afterwards placed himself un- der the tuition of West, the celebrated painter, then at London. After a long and eventful life, he died, Nov. 19th, 1843. The rooms in the Gallery Building, in which are placed the paintings, are each 30 feet square and 24 high, The room first entered is devoted to miscellaneous collections of pictures, statuary, antiquities, &c .; the other room is properly the Trumbull Gallery, as all the paintings which it contains are the productions of the pencil of Col. Trumbull, excepting his own portrait, by Waldo & Jewett. There are in this gallery, including those in eight subjects of the American Revolution, nearly
160

As a historical painter, Col. Trumbull has, as yet, had no equal in this country, nor has he been excelled in any other. He had the rare advantage of being personally acquainted with the individuals whose portraits are pre- served ; and, in a certain sense, he may be considered as an actor in the scenes he has represented. Perhaps the two paintings which will have a tendency to transmit his fame as an artist, beyond all others which he has executed, are the " Battle of Bunker Hill," and the " Death of Gen. Montgomery at Quebec." In these compositions, the accuracy of drawing, the admirable coloring, the va- riety of figures introduced, the force of expression dis- played in their attitudes and countenances, with their striking effect as a whole, stamp these productions as master-pieces of the art.
The room which is first entered in the gallery, contains many objects of interest. Among these are portraits of John Davenport, Gov. Saltonstall, Gov. Yale, Dean Berkeley, and others, including many of the officers of the College. This room contains, also, a group in mar- ble, of Jephtha and his Daughter, executed by Mr. Augur, of New Haven, a native artist ; the busts of Ho- mer, Demosthenes and Cicero; the sash which Gen. Wooster wore when he fell, near Danbury ; the portrait of Col. Humphreys ; and an original sketch of Major Andre, made by himself the day before his execution.
* In 1867, the pictures, &c., in these galleries, were removed jo the Art Building. The President of the College and the Professor of Divinity, now have their rooms in this buiding. The Treasurer occupies the second floor. The remains of Col. Trumbull and his wife were removed from a vault under this building to one under the Art Building. (See page 138 )

Ezekiel. Cheever was born at London, January 25, 1614. He came to America in 1637, landed at Boston, and united with Eaton, Davenport, and others, in planting the colony at Quinnipiac. He was a man of eminence in the affairs of the colony, and especially conspicuous as a teacher of youth. He began his career as a schoolmaster here in 1638, and continued his labors in this line of hon- orable employment until 1650. He had charge of the free common school of the colony, and also of the free grammar school. In November, 1650, Mr. Cheever re- moved to Ipswich, Mass., and became master of the grammar school at that place, making it famous in all the country. After this, he labored in the same vocation in Charlestown and Boston. He was a strict disciplinarian, and " by an agreeable mixture of majesty and sweetness, both in his voice and countenance, he secured at once obedience, reverence and love." While at New Haven, he composed the Accidence, or Short Introduction to the Latin Tongue. The work was used in this country more than a century and a half, and has passed through more than twenty editions. He died at Boston, August 21, 1708, in the 94th year of his age. The following is an extract from an elegy upon him, written by Dr. Cotton Mather, one of his pupils :
" A mighty tribe of well instructed youth Tell what they owe to him, and tell with truth. All the eight parts of speech, he taught to them, They now employ to trumpet his esteem. Magister pleas'd them well because 'twas he; They say that bonus did with it agree. While they said amo, they the hint improve, Him for to make the object of their love. No concord so inviolate they knew As to pay honors to their master due. With interjections they break off at last, But ah is all they use, wo, and alas !"
" He lived, and to vast age no illness knew; Till Time's scythe, waiting for him, rusty grew. He lived and wrought ; his labors were immense; But ne'er declined to preterperfect tense."

Gov. Edward Hopkins was born in England, about the year 1600, and became an eminent merchant in London. In 1637, he emigrated to America with his friends, Theo- philus Eaton and Rev. John Davenport. He decided to go to the colony of Connecticut, while his friends founded the adjoining colony of Quinnipiac or New Haven. Gov. H. married the step-daughter of Gov. Eaton. He was chosen Governor of the colony of Connecticut every al- ternate year, from 1640 to 1654. In 1652, he went on business to England, intending to return; but being chosen Warden of the English fleet, Commissioner of the admiralty and navy, and Member of Parliament, he remained in that country till his death, in March, 1657. When Rev. John Davenport was endeavoring to found a Collegiate establishment in the colony of New Haven, he applied for aid to his friend Gov. Hopkins, who promised to give some encouragement thereto. By his last will, he bequeathed a large amount of property for the sup- port of the Grammar School and College in this colony. Much delay occurred in realizing the bequest, and it was finally shared between New Haven, Hartford, and Had- ley and Cambridge, Mass. The portion which came to this colony served as the foundation of the Hopkins Grammar School, which still flourishes as the oldest literary institution in New Haven.
Gov. Hopkins was a man of great wisdom and upright- ness, and was not less distinguished for his libera.ity and piety. Mather remarks : " His mind kept continu- ally mellowing and ripening for heaven; and one ex- pression of his heavenly mind, among many others, a little before his end, was, ' How often have I pleased my- self with thoughts of a joyful meeting with my father Eaton ! I remember with what pleasure he would come down the street, that he might meet me when I came from Hartford unto New Haven. But with how much greater pleasure shall we shortly meet one another in heaven !' "
In Sir Ferdinando Gorges' " Wonder-working Provi- dence," &c., a relation of the planting of the New Haven colony is given. Speaking of Mr. Davenport, it mentions
164
the judicious and godly Mr. John Davenport, of whom the author is bold to say as followeth :
" When men and Devils 'gainst Christ's flock conspire, For them prepar'd a deadly trapping net :
Then Christ, to make all men his work admire, Davenport, he doth thee from thy country fet To sit in Synod, and his folk assist :
The filthy vomit of Hels Dragon, deepe In Earth's womb drawn, blest they this poyson mist, And blest the meanes doth us from error keep. Thy grave advice and arguments of strength Did much prevail, the errorist confound. Well hast thou warr'd, Christ draws thy dayes in length, That thou in learn'd experience may'st abound : What though thou leave a city stor'd with pleasure, Spend thy prime days in heathen desert land, Thy joy's in Christ, and not in earthly treasure, Davenport rejoice, Christ's kingdome is at hand : Didst ever deem to see such glorious dayes? Though thou decrease with age and earth's content,
Thou liv'st in Christ, needs then must thy joy raise ;
His kingdome's thine, and that can ne'er be spent."
" SEATING" OF THE FIRST MEETING-HOUSE.
It was formerly the custom in some parts of New England to seat the people in the Meeting-House by a Committee. This practice appears to have been kept up in New Haven till about the middle of the last century. In several instances, the records of the town exhibit the assignment of persons to seats, with the names of all the individuals. The earliest record of this kind is in the proceedings of " a General Court" or Town Meeting, " held the 10th of March, 1646." No seat appears to be assigned to Ezekiel Cheever ; but from the occasional mention of "the Scholar's seats." it is presumed he was placed with his pupils, who probably sat in the Gallery, under the care of their Instructor. " The names of people, as they were seated in the Meeting-House, were read in Court ; and it was ordered that they should be recorded, which was as followeth, viz. :
" The middle seats have, to sit in them,
