third wife Margaret, daughter of Sir John Tyndal, of Great Maplested. He was / many years in the profession of law, and in 1682 was admitted to the Inner Tem- ple. It is unnecessary to trace the career of a man of whom so much has been said and written. It is sufficient to say that his place in this register is due to the fact that from 1630 to 1633, and in the years 1637, '38, '39, '42, '43, '46, '47, '48 he was the governor of the Massachusetts Colony, in 1636, '44, '45 deputy governor, and that in 1634, '35, '40, '41 he was one of the assistants, and thus connected with the judiciary of the colony.

In 1850 he was United States Senator by appointment to fill a vacancy. Until his recent resignation he was many years president of the Massachusetts Historical Society. He is one of the counsellors of the George Peabody benefaction, and since his retirement from active political life has enhanced a reputation, already brilliantly won, by ora- tions and addresses, which on various public occasions he has been called on to de- liver. Among them the most notable have been his Pilgrim Anniversary oration at Plymouth, December 21, 1870, the Boston Centennial oration, July 4, 1876, the Corn- wallis oration at Yorktown in 1881, and his oration at the dedication of the Washing- ton Monument in Washington. He received the degree of LL.D. from Harvard in 1855 and from Bowdoin in 1849, and from Cambridge, England, in 1874.
