SAVAGE. (p. 32.)
" The very ancient Anglo-Norman house of Savage was settled at Portaferry, county Down, since the time of the first con- quest of Ireland by John de Courcy, Earl of Ulster, in 1117. Under that famous warrior, the original ancestor in Ireland established himself in the county of Down, and, by a written document, dated 1 September, 1205, in the Tower of London, we find . Robin, son of William Savage,' named as one of De Courey's hostages for his appearance before King John. Sir John de Savage was engaged with Edward I. at the mem- orable siege of Carlaverock, in Scotland ; and there, for his signal service, was, with Thomas, his brother, created Knight Banneret. Sir John Savage (ancestor of the Earls of Rivers) commanded the left wing of the Earl of Richmond's army at Bosworth Field, and was afterward made a Knight of the Garter by Henry VII." - Burke's Landed Gentry.
This family was distinguished by the herald's device thus : Argent, six lions rampant, sable, langued gules ; crest, a lion's gamb creet sable. These armorial bearings are elegantly sculptured on the horizontal slab resting on Major Savage's tomb, except the colors, which the herald had not then learned to express in engravings or sculpture.
Major Savage was a man of high publie spirit. Disgusted with the treatment of the majority towards Wheelwright and Sir Henry Vane's friends, he, with his brother-in-law, Hutch- inson, Gov. Coddington, and others, in 1638, removed to Rhode Island. He soon returned, however, to Boston, recov- ered his former standing with early friends, and was often one of the representatives of the town; and, in the trying times of 1665, was respected for his moderation. He was one of those who undertook, in 16;3, to erect a barricade in the harbor, for security against a fleet then expected from Hol- land. Out of this barricade grow, in less than forty years, Long wharf. Hle was Speaker of the House in 1650, and, in 1676, was Chief of the Massachusetts forces in King Philip's

war, and, in 1680, was chosen one of the assistants, in which situation he died, February 14, 1682, aged 75. The Rev. Samuel Willard preached a funeral sermon from Isaiah 57: 1. Ile was pastor of the Third Church, of which Major Savage was one of the founders, at the secession occasioned by the coming of Davenport from New Haven to the First .*
The following lines, from the manuscript of an unknown cotemporary of the lamented Major Savage, display, it seems to us, an uncomnon share of poetic inspiration. The exuber- ant faney and overwrought diction of the writer would seem to indicate that he had breathed an ardent and not unsuccessful aspiration " for a muse of fire, that would transcend the high- est heaven of invention." Many of the rhetorical figures and flourishes of the author may seem to us of the present day as in bad taste ; and some of the lines are imperfect in measure and rhythm ; but, as a whole, the production is one of mueh literary merit, for the age in which it was written. Great and good as may have been the subject of this eulogistic trib- ute, it is apparent that the " flattering unetion " has been laid on a little too thick for modern taste to deem consistent with probable truth. But it should be remembered that the allo- pathic doses of a former age embodied essentially no more than the homoeopathic doses of the present ; that the boluses of the ancient dispensatory were as easily swallowed as the minuter Fills of the modern. The British Quarterly Review, in a recent notice of the Christian philosopher, Robert Boyle, the patron of Christian enterprises in New England, especially of our renowned townsman, Eliot, and the time of whose death, in 1691, was almost identical with that of Major Savage, well expresses our meaning, when it says, with reference to the extravagant praises which his cotemporaries and immediate successors bestowed on him, "These praises, however, are more extravagant in appearance than in reality. A sceptical, critical, practical age, like our own, uses fewer words and more subdued expressions, even when its praise is hearty and

A FUNERAL ELEGY
on the Sudden and much-Lamented Death and Expiration of that Worthy, grave, Pious and Everyway accomplished Hero - Major THOMAS SAVAGE, Esq'r .; who Departed this Life the 14th of February, 1682, in the 76th year of his ago.
Now Let the nine their forces all unite, & Clubb their wits to inspire my slender Quill, While I this Worthy's Elegy doe write. Inspire my fancy with Hervie Skill, With undissembled grief Lament the fall Of this great Hero-at our mournful call Appear, in Sable Clad, to graco bis funeral.
The night Commandress, over spread of late With Total Darkness, Clothed in mournful hue, Seemed to forebude our sad Eclipse of State, And our Distressing Troubles to renew. When such Stars fall, well mny it us affright, In sense of our departing Glory's Light, Lest wo should covered bo with Dismal Shades of night.
Great King of Terrors, art Thou not content To rage and Tyranise uncessantly Quer the mortals of a mean descent, And fill thy craving maw with Peasantry, But thou must climbing and aspiring be To snatch our men of note and high Degree, And make them feel Thy Power and bow their heads to Thee !.
He was, in carriage, courteous, and free From affectation -charming every one; All must Lament that now Spectators be, And his sad fall most heartily bemoan. Grieve then in carnest: ho that shall forbear Upon his hearse to Drop a brinish tear, Lett him depart from hence, noe room is for him hero.

Hee was a magasin of Military Skill To exercise the war-like trayne; He could command their Posters at his will, And with a word reduce them back again. Let Ensigns their mournful anchents [standards] vaile, And Drums in Doleful tunes his Death bewail, Make muskets drooping movo & Pikes in dust to trail.
This worthy Captain now hath ledd the way, Fach officer now must follow in his place; Hee hath slain Death itself & got the day, Obtained the prize of Glory, won the Race: Make ready then with speed - Drumn, groan a call, And with hoarse notes alarum the Soldiers all, ; In mourning to attend this solemn funeral.
Heo was a Pattern of grate Piety, Indeavoring God's Glory to advance; His steady and Devout sincerity In holy walking did his grace enhance; God greatly honcured him, and he againe
Did strive to honour God with might and maine; Then sure the Grace of God was not with him in vaine.
A worthy Senator - great, grave, and wise; Who showed his Rise of more than Common Blood; Judicious in every enterprise, he was Concerned for the Publick good; A wakeful statesman of an Eagle eye, Who could, beforehand, future dangers spy, And greatly did bewail our hastening misery.
And must we leave him silent in the dust, (Yet let us in our hearts Record his name,) Until the Resurrection of the Just, Who shall with trumpet sound Proelaime, While we Remaine in our Combatings, And his Blessed Soul with Angels sweetly sings Eternal Hallelujahs to the King of Kings.
Here lyes insbrined in this arched room The Quintessence of worth, whose yery tombe

Is full of fragrance, and his Saered Dust Rests; while his Soul is Blessed with the Just. Could grace or gravity, wisdom or sense, Have kept him here, he had not gone from hence, But still had in our Orbe shone bright & clear With yielding lusture in our Humble Sphere. But, reader, since thou seest him in this state, His grace and virtue learn to imitate; Tread in his stepps, and Walk Incessantly,
To live with him in Bliss Eternally.

AVERY. (p. 35.)
DR. WILLIAM AVERY was in Dedham as early as 1653, the birth of his son Jonathan being recorded there in that year. His wife Margaret died in Dedham 28 Sept., 1678. Ile after- wards married Mary -, of Boston, and was thus led to remove to this place. Here he opened an apothecary's shop, said to have been the first ever established in New England. He was a member of the Artillery Company in 1654, and is styled Lieutenant. Whitman, in his history of that company (21 edit., p. 164), states that he was representative for Spring- field in 1669. "In 1080, Capt. Daniel Fisher and Ensign Fuller report that Dr. William Avery, now of Boston, but formerly of the Dedham church, out of his entire love to this church and town, freely gives into their hands sixty pounds, for a Latin school, to be ordered by the selectmen and elders. This fund was for many years in the hands of trustees ; but it was either wrongly appropriated, or discredited by the opera- tion of bills of credit, and there is scarcely a man who knows that such a donation was erer made." *

Dr. Avery, it is evident, was a man of superior education ; and this donation manifests his appreciation of its value and importance. His will is on file, but not on record, in the Suf- folk Probate Office. It is handsomely written, with his own hand, dated October 15, 1683, and sealed, and re-declared to be his will, March 13, 1687. Ilis three sons, William, Robert and Jonathan, are mentioned as executors of the will. Ile there says : "Concerning my part in several mines, my will is that a third part of all the profit yt shall arise to any and all my children from said quines shall be improved for publick and charitable uses, according to their own discretion." He ap- points his " well beloved friends, Mir. John Wilson, of Med- field, and Mr. William Adams, of Dedham," the respective ministers of the churches in those places, to be the overseers of his will. A fac simile of the antograph, as affixed to the will, is here given.
Evilian Avory
The Averys were a highly respectable family in Dedham, for nearly two centuries. The descendants are now widely dispersed ; some of them, with other surnames, being still residents in that town, and upon a part of the same premises owned by their ancestor near two centuries ago. The last of the name in Dedham was Mr. Jonathan Avery, who died somne twenty-five years since. Ile resided, as some of the family always had, in the old Avery house, now standing in East-street, a view of which, and the "brave old oak" in front of it, may be seen in Barber's Historical Collections of Massachusetts, p. 460. Hon. Edward Everett has made them somewhat classical by entwining them with a wreath of his eloquence, at the celebration of the close of the second century of the settlement of Dedham, in 1836. He says : " It is often still by superficial writers in England that our systems of gov- ernment are a mere experiment, - the mushroom growth of yesterday ; aud from this assumed fact of their recent origin

their short-lived duration is foreboded. * * You might as well eall the great oak-tree in front of Mr. Avery's house, in East-street, the growth of yesterday, because the broad expanse of its foliage has put forth the present season ; whereas, its acorn was deposited generations ago, and its trunk has braved the blasts of two centuries."*
The following were the children of Dr. William Avery :

His widow afterwards became the wife of the Rev. Michael Wigglesworth, of Malden, the author of that "fearful " poem, "The Day of Doom."t VI. HANNAH, b. 27 Sept., 1660, in Dedham ; m. Benjamin Dyer, May 22, 1676. She d. before 15 October, 1683. Ile was living at that date. VII. EBENEZER, h. 24 November, 1003, in Dedham ; d. before 15 October, 1683.

Rev. Joseph Avery, second minister of Holden, was great- great-grandson of Dr. Avery, his father, grandfather, great- grandfather and great-great-grandfather, all bearing the Chris- tian name of William. He was ordained at Holden, 21 Dec., 1,74, and died 5 March, 1824. He was highly respected as a minister. An oration of his, delivered at Holden, July 4, 1806, was published.
The late Rev.

BOX. (p. 102.)
From a fly-leaf in King's Chapel Register of Burials we have been allowed to copy the following notice, extracted from Edes and Hill's Boston Gazette, No. 1021.
"Oct. 31, 1774, died of a consumptive disorder, and on Thursday, Nov. 3, was decently interred, Mr. John Box, aged 75 years, who for upwards of 40 years was an eminent Rope- maker in this town. He was a man of a fair, unblemished character, strictly just in his dealings, a constant attender of Divine Worship, several years (in turn) a Warden of King's Chapel, and one of the Vestry. An Assistant and promoter in rebuilling that church. He was no meddler in politieks, yet a well-wisher to the publiek welfare. He loved order, and condemned too great a stretch of power ; much esteemed by his worthy acquaintance, and by the publick in general. lle was a tender, affectionate Husband and Parent.
"The Ancient and Hon. Society of Free Masons conducted his body to the burial-place, in token of a tender regard to their worthy deceased Brother. Ile has left a widow, and several children of adult age, to mourn the loss of a Husband and Parent."
Richard Skellings and Mary Box married, March 11, 1764.
Mr. John Bos must have been born in 16. He married Lylia Story, daughter of Elisha and Sarah Cooper Story, and had issue John, Lydia, Elisha, Ann, Lydia, Sarah, Ann. Mr. Box was a warden in King's Chapel from 1746 to 1755.
Of his children, John arrived at manhood; Lydia and Sarah were married, Lydia to William Haskins, merchant, June 12, 1764, and had issue John Box, William, Richard, Henry Quinec, Susanna, Charles Chauncey ; Sarah to. Davis, and died a widow, without children.

THE WINTHROP TOMB. (p. 27.)
The history of the tablet which now marks the Winthrop tomb is not known. Stephen Winthrop, - the fourth son of the Governor of Massachusetts, a member of Parliament for Scotland, a Colonel in Cromwell's army, and of whom Roger Williams, writing to John Winthrop, the Governor of Con- nectient, in 1655-6, says, " Youre brother Stephen succecdes Major General Harrison," -by his last will and testament, proved at London, 19th August, 1658, bequeathed £100 to the poor of Boston, on condition that a tomb of the value of $50 should be erected over the grave of his father and mother, buried at said Boston.
Whether the town of Boston ever accepted this bequest, or executed the condition, is not known. This stune, however, is evidently of a later date than 1658, and was probably erected about the time of the burial of the last person whose name it bears.
Of the persons who have been successively laid here, there is less room for doubt.
It was the original resting-place of JOHN WINTHROP, Gov- ernor of Massachusetts in 1630, who died March 26, 1649, and of whom a complete biography would be the history of the colony during his life. Ile was eleven times chosen Gov- ernor, and spent his whole estate in the public service. Cot- ton Mather has an account of him in the "Magnalia," chap- ter 4, book 2. Belknap has an elaborate notice of him in his " American Biography," article xxIV. Ilatchinson calls him " the father of the country," and says that his death " caused a general grief throughout the colony." Quiney, in his cen- tennial discourse, and in his more recent Municipal History (page 327), says, " Had Boston, like Rome, a consecrated eal- endar, there is no name better entitled than that of Win- throp to be registered as its ' patron saint.'" The best idea of him, however, may be derived from his own Journal and Correspondence, as edited by Hon. James Savage, in 1825;
