appointment, which he was obliged to do, because of de- clining health. He died of consumption at the resi- dence of his father in Bangor, August 12, 1874.
A committee of the Penobscot Bar, consisting of Charles P. Stetson, Charles Hamlin, Henry C. Good- enow, John F. Godfrey, and Franklin A. Wilson, report- ed resolutions to the effect that the members of the Bar had heard with deep sorrow of the death of their brother, General John F. Appleton; that his generous disposition, his high sense of honor, his integrity, his high-toned character, and his fine intellect commanded their esteem and respect, and gave promise of a brilliant and useful career as a citizen and a lawyer; that . they felt great pride in his military record in the late civil war; and the courage and ability there displayed by him did honor to his State and great service to his country.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and were presented to the Court by Charles P. Stetson, Esq., with appropriate remarks; and eulogistic addresses were made by Messrs. Charles Hamlin, John F. Godfrey, Edmund W. Flagg, and Franklin A. Wilson. Judge Kent, who presided, responded in fitting terms, ordered the resolu- tions spread on the records of the court, and, in respect of the memory of the deceased brother, that the court be adjourned.
WILLIAM A. BLAKE,
son of William A. Blake, was born in Bangor; fitted for college in the Bangor High School; graduated from Bow- doin College; read law with his uncle, Hon. Samuel H. Blake; was admitted to the Bar in 1875, and died in January, 1876. He was a fine scholar, and a young man of great promise. Mr. Paine, on presenting the resolu- tions of the Bar to the Court, spoke of him in highly eulogistic terms. The resolutions recognized "the re- moval of one eminently qualified for the business and duties of life, by his many manly virtues, his correct, in- dustrious habits, his genial qualities, his high mental culture, and especially by his character and attainments as a lawyer;" and that the Bar had "lost a member of whom they could feel justly proud, as giving promise of future eminence and usefulness in his profession." Chief Justice Appleton said: "Studious, scholarly, his col- legiate course was finished with the highest honors. He did not excel merely as a scholar in this allotted course of instruction. but he held rank as a writer of great promise. His published productions show him instinct with the spirit of poetry and that
He knew
Himself to sing and build the lofty rhyme.'
"He had just completed the study of his profession. The same talent, the same industry and zeal in the future as in the past would have assured his professional suc- cess. When those who should succeed us go before us, it seems an invasion of the laws and the order of nature.
'The hand of the reaper Takes the ears that are hoary; But the voice of the weeper Wails manhood in glory.' "
JOHN H. HILLIARD,
born in Gorham, Maine, in 1808; graduated from Bow-
doin College in 1827; read law with Hon. Josiah Pierce, of Gorham; first established himself in the pro- fession at Stillwater, Maine, afterwards, in 1834, went to Oldtown, where he resided until he died. He was a prominent citizen of Oldtown. At different times he held the offices of Town Clerk, Selectman, member of the Superintending School Committee, and represented his town in the Legislature. He was also County Attorney.
Mr. Hilliard was a good lawyer, and performed the duties of the offices to which he was elected ably and creditably. For seven years before his decease he was confined to his house by ill-health. He died November 26, 1880. In a resolution of the Bar, passed after his decease, it is affirmed that he was "a worthy member, a scholarly and cultivated gentleman, justly esteemed as honorable in his practices, faithful to his clients, true to his conviction of duty; of modest, kind, and social dis- position, and of honest and upright life; that his inter- course with us as a member of the Bar for more than forty years won for him the friendship and respect of all."
Judge Humphrey presented this resolution to the court, accompanied by eulogistic remarks. Chief Justice Appleton responded. In the course of his remarks he said :
The duties of the important office of County Attorney he discharged with scrupulous fidelity to the people, and with no undue zeal against the accused, anxious only that impartial justice should be done.
Death found him prepared and resigned. An honest man, a learned and able lawyer, one beloved and respected by the commun- ity where he so long resided; one pure and upright in all the relations of life.
JOSHUA HILL.
Mr. Hill practiced for many years in Hampden, and commanded a large business. He died in 1860. The Bar took notice of his death, and adopted the following with other resolutions:
Resolved, That in the death of our brother, Joshua Hill, the Penob- scot Bar has lost a worthy member, a gentleman justly esteemed as honorable in the profession, faithful to his clients, modest and unassuming, of even temper and social disposition, honest and upright in his life; his long intercourse of more than twenty years with the members of this Bar justly won for him many warm friends and the good-will of all.
FRANCIS EUGENE BOND,
son of Thomas Bond, of Hallowell, Maine, and Lucretia F. (Page) Bond, was born in Hallowell, February 7, 1808; graduated at Bowdoin College in 1828; practiced law in Darien, Georgia, for a time after his admission to the Bar; afterward came to Bangor, where he practiced several years. He died September 5, 1846. He pos- sessed the estimable characteristics of his father, who was a distinguished member of the Kennebec Bar, and died in 1827. The Penobscot Bar took action on the death of the son. The resolutions were drawn by gentlemen who knew him well, and do not exaggerate his qualities. They say that he "had secured the esteem of all his associates at the Bar by his high sense of honor, manifested alike in his professional practice and his in- tercourse with society ; by the amiability and frankness which shone in his countenance and characterized his manners and his actions ; by the perfect guilelessness of his heart and the remarkable uprightness and integrity of

his life ; and had entitled himself no less to their respect by the soundness of his judgment, his acquirements as a counselor, his capacity as a practitioner, and the able and satisfactory manner in which his good sense, his in- dustrious habits, and his great conscientiousness enabled him to fulfil the duties of an arduous profession."
COLONEL JASPER HUTCHINGS,
son of Josiah W. and Phebe Hutchings, was born in the town of Penobscot, Hancock county, Maine, in 1835; lived there until thirteen years of age, then removed with his father's family to Brewer, in Penobscot county, where he now resides, and has resided most of the time since; was educated in the town and private schools in Brewer, and at Williams College, Massachusetts; taught school some in his school and college days; read law with A. San- born, Esq., of Bangor, and was admitted to practice in the courts of this State in 1861; practiced about one year in Aroostook county, then in the fall of 1862 was mustered into the military service of the United States as First Lieutenant Company C, Twenty-second Regiment Maine Volunteers, a nine months' regiment. He served with this regiment through the siege of Port Hudson, and un- til its term of service was about expiring, when he organ- ized and for several months commanded, with the rank of Major, the Eighty-third United States Colored Infan- try. He was afterwards commissioned Lieutenant-Colo- nel of the Seventy-fourth United States Colored Infantry, and as such was mustered out of service in Louisiana in January, 1866.
In the summer of 1866 he married Kate S. Burr, of Brewer, daughter of the late Joseph B. Burr, and the same year began and has since continued the practice of the law in Bangor, He has twice served as a Represent- ative in the Legislature from the class of Brewer and Or- rington, and six years, from 1874 to 1880, as County At- torney for Penobscot county. Colonel Hutchings was a very able and acceptable County Attorney. He pre- pared his cases well, and was successful with them. He failed to be re-elected because his party fell into the mi- nority. He is a gentlemen of integrity, an impressive speaker, possesses clear perceptive faculties and good judgment. He is highly esteemed as a lawyer and as a man.
HORACE B. CHAMBERLAIN,
son of Joshua Chamberlain, and brother of ex-Governor Chamberlain, was born in Brewer, Maine, in 1834; grad- uated at Bowdoin College in 1857; qualified himself for the profession; was admitted to the Bar in Bangor, and died in 1861 at the age of twenty-seven. The Bar testi- fied to his "honest and generous" qualities; that he was "honorable in his practice, jealous for the rights of his clients, and a safe counselor-one whose mental capacity and scholarly attainments gave warrant of a life of honor and usefulness."
Chief Justice Appleton said: "Our departed friend entered upon his professional career with the vantage ground which firmness of principle, integrity of purpose, and a cultivated intellect always give. The allurements of life were before him. Its prizes were within his grasp.
The morning promise was fair; but ere he had measured his strength-almost, indeed, as soon as he had entered the arena-the seeds of disease were found working in his veins and undermining the vigor and strength needed for the contests of a manly ambition. But death is the condition of life. They are ever in fearful and terrible contact.
'Nascentes morimur finisque ab origine pendet.'" GEORGE W. WHITNEY
was born in Pittsfield, Maine, in 1826; attended the academy at Waterville, where he prepared himself for the study of the law; read law with Hon. D. D. Stewart, at St. Albans, Somerset county, and was admitted to the Bar in 1854. Mr. Whitney shortly afterward established himself at Newport, in this county, where he acquired a respectable business. He was a good and reliable law- yer, and a gentleman. The Bar adopted resolutions of respect, and caused it to be recorded of him that he was "justly esteemed as a citizen, honorable and capable in his practice, faithful to his clients, honest and upright in his life, and social in his disposition," and that he had "won many warm friends and the high esteem of all."
JAMES A. DONIGAN.
Mr. Donigan has been in practice since 1872. He was born March 15, 1848; is the son of Thomas Donigan, of Oldtown, and second of a family of seven children-four sons and three daughters. Having a desire for know- ledge, he attended all the graded schools in Oldtown. Like many Americans born in poverty and ambitious of advancement, he worked and studied and worked. At sixteen he went to Lewiston, where he continued his practice of studying and working for three years. In 1867 he attended Hampden Academy, and in 1868 and 1869 the Bucksport Seminary. He has had much prac- tice as a teacher, having taught about twenty terms of school. He studied law with Charles A. Bailey, Esq., in Oldtown, and was admitted to the Penobscot Bar at the April term, 1872, since which time he has practiced his profession in Bangor. Mr. Donigan has had much to contend against, but he has pluck and perseverance which will doubtless enable him to accomplish a great . deal. He was married August 17, 1874, and has one child.
JAMES H. BURGESS.
Mr. Burgess was born in Oldtown, February 4, 1845. Soon after attaining his majority he moved to Lincoln, in this county, where he was engaged in trade until the summer of 1868.

This office he retained until August, 1870, for the purpose of qualifying himself as a lawyer. He entered the office of William P. Young, in Milo, and applied himself with such diligence that he was deemed qualified for and was admitted to the Bar at the September term of the Supreme Judicial Court, 1871, in Dover, Piscataquis county. In October, 1871, he commenced practice at Winn, in this

INTRODUCTION.
Reference is made in the following summary of the literature of this county, to all those who have written or compiled books or pamphlets, or have contributed to magazines or newspapers, and in general, the titles of their productions are given.
The absence of some names will be noted. They are among those who made request that they should not be reported. Some have kept no list of their writings, and cannot recall the titles. One, a poet of no mean powers, writes: "Whatever I have written has been traced on the sand left by the outgoing tide; the incoming tide has, of course, effaced it all." In some cases the full list could not be obtained from the author or any other source. All that could be gathered . by diligent inquiry and correspondence, is here presented.
