1 A " slawbank," or " elabank," was an indispensable article to every housekeeper in the olden timea. The nadie ia derived from the Dutch " sloap banck," or sleeping-bench. It was sometimes constructed in the alrape of a cupboard, with closing doors, and contained a bed. More commonly it was a box holding the bedding, which was attached to the wall by hingea. It was folded up against the wall by day, and at night was let down to the floor to serve as a bed. Occasionally it took the shape of a bench or aofa to ait on during the day, opening by hingea to form a bed by night.

The precious metals, and articles for ornament or use made of them, were almost as scarce as books.

Silver teaspoons were very rare, and the old record ; shows that not more than three or six were possessed by substantial farmers and mechanics, and more com- monly they could boast of one only. Silver table- spoons were yet more rare. It was seldom that com- paratively wealthy families owned them, or any other household articles made of that precious material. Occasionally, however, in these inventories we come across families who counted among their valuables a huge tankard, or a quart bowl, or a pint mug, or salt- cellars of silver. In one instance a silver server weighing fifty-nine and a half ounces is mentioned, and a dozen silver-handled knives and forks. Silver knee-buckles, shoe-buckles, and stock-buckles were largely worn by our ancestors when equipped in their best breeches of broadcloth, plush, nankeen, or velvet, as also silver vest and breeches buttons. Sleeve- buttons of gold and silver adorned their shirts, and frequently had lockets attached containing relics or miniatures. Watches and snuff-boxes of gold and silver formed an essential part of every well-bred gentleman's outfit, and the ladies wore finger- and ear-rings of gold, chains of gold, with pendants, trin- kets, and lockets, and in some cases necklaces, soli- taires, stars, and other ornaments of garnet and gold or gold and brilliants. But beyond the possession of a plain gold ring, these were rare and exceptional cases.

The modes of locomotion were widely different in those days from those which now prevail. There were then no turnpikes, macadamized roads, or rail- roads. The travel was tedious, and the country roads few and rugged. Journeys were mostly undertaken on horseback, and it was thus the men and women went to church. to mill, and " to town." Side-saddles and riding-coats and habits for women were therefore a universal necessity. The vehicles outside of the heavy lumbering wagon were riding-chairs, chaises, and gigs, the bodies sunk down between two high wheels and swung on wooden springs. In the winter sleds were used as now, and besides these nearly every man had his pleasure-sleigh for family use. It must have been a pleasant sight to see these when laden with ladies clad in their many-colored silks, satins, and velvets, and especially pleasant must have been the contrast of their brilliant scarlet cloaks with the snow-white mantle which covered the earth.

It is an interesting inquiry to compare with pres- ent prices those that then prevailed for such articles as constituted the necessaries of life. And in prose- cuting it we should bear in mind that our ancestors followed " York" currency, as indeed we continued to do until a recent period. A " pound" was twenty "York" shillings, and the "York" shilling was equivalent to twelve and one-half cents. A pound was therefore two dollars and fifty cents. If wheat be taken as the standard for arriving at the purchas- ing power of money, it will be found that one dollar would then buy as much as three dollars will now

buy. It follows that a man who was then worth one dollar was as well off as one who to-day is worth three dollars, and this is the relative difference in the purchasing power of money at the two periods.

The men of those times studied brevity. This is apparent in all their writings, not so much perhaps in the expression of their ideas concisely as in their economy of letters. Their abbreviations of words, which was the fashion of that and much earlier days, were very numerous and perplexing from their pecu- liarity. Some of them require as much patience for their interpretation as a rebus. They were not con- fined to particular and much used technical words or to final syllables, but were applied indiscriminately. " The" was abbreviated to "ye," "your" to "y"," "companion " to "comp"," "hundred " to "hª," "young" to " y"," " Fitz" to " Fz," and so on indefi- nitely. When two consonants came together one was usually dropped, and a circumflex over the one that was retained denoted the elision. Thus "wagon," according to the established usage of those days, was correctly spelled with two "g's," and when it was spelled with one only the writer signified that he knew better by resorting to the circumflex. So also with such words as common, trammel, cellar, pillow, committee, etc., one of the doublets was uniformly dropped, and the writer's knowledge of its absence indicated by the circumflex. Their capitalization was equally peculiar, and was as systematic as that now in use if less correct. The leading and emphatic words, or, in the language of a writer of that day, "all the more eminent words in a sentence," were written with capitals, and also all such as derived a certain stateliness or solemnity from their forming parts of legal phrases or doctrinal formulas, " all names of arts, sciences, and trades," and "all noun- substantives." In this, however, they followed a usage which had prevailed for many years even among elegant writers in the mother-conntry, and which continued here some years after it had become obsolete there. As having some relation to their style in composition, I am tempted to note here some very odd collocations that occur in these inventories, by which the most incongruous things are frequently jumbled together in strange companionship in one entry. They are very quaint, and their simplicity will provoke a smile. For instance, among the entries are such as these : " 2 fine white Shirts and a pepper- mill ;" " 15 tt›s. of Butter and pot and 6 Shifts ;" " 1 pillow-case with 7 lbs. of Sugar;" " 1 Silk camlet Vest, 2 pewter plates ;" " 24 fbs. of cheese and 1 pr. of common Gloves ;" " 1 large Hog and 1 good Tea- kettle;" "1 Tankard and 1 pr. of new Sheets ;" "1 Large Bible and 1 new Silk Bonnet ;" "1 pr. of Striped Trowsers and 1 pewter teapot;" "1 looking Glass, 1 Bible, 1 hand-saw and 25 fowls ;" " 1 Heifer, 3 years old, and 2 new Shirts ;" " 1 Cradle and a large Bake Trough," "1 good bedstead and 16 Bus. Tur- nips ;" "1 new fine Shirt, 1 sheep ;" " 1 Tea-kettle

and Grindstone ;" "Sett Chaney and good Bible;" "1 English Bible and 1 Smoothing Iron ;" " 1 Mus- ket and 1 Mair, 7 years old ;" " 1 yearling Calf and 1 Iron pot;" " 1 psalm book and 2 bus. hard salt."

It is impossible to make even a cursory examina- tion of these old inventories without remarking the great number of guns that were in the possession of onr ancestors. The abundance of deer, bears, foxes, and wolves will partly but not entirely explain this. It is probable that their nearly universal distribution was largely due to the policy of the proprietors who originally owned and governed the State, and who made the ownership of a musket one of the conditions of their grants of lands to settlers. In their "Grants and Concessions," in order that " the planting of the province may he more speedily promoted," they stip- ulate to grant as follows : " Unto all persons who had already adventured to the province, or who shall transport themselves or servants before Jan. 1, 1665 : To every Freeman who shall go with the first Gov- ernor" etc., "armed with a good Musket, bore twelve bullets to the pound, with ten pounds of Pow- der & 20 pounds of Bullets, with Bandeliers & Match convenient," etc., "150 acres; and for every able servant that he shall carry with him, armed and provided as aforesaid, 150 acres." The same stipulations were extended to those who should go in two successive years thereafter. And the policy was kept up by the proprietors to a much later date. Whatever was the cause of the general supply which was found to exist in 1775, it was most fortunate for our ancestors and their cause, since all soldiers of the State establishment or of the Continental army were required to furnish themselves with arms, the reso- lution of Congress being " that each of the privates be allowed, instead of a bounty, one felt hat, a pair of yarn stockings, and a pair of shoes, the men to find their own arms."1

The study of our ancestors in Middlesex County, which we have now concluded, has been a prolonged and quite close one, and the views we have been enabled to take of their social condition have been clear and minute. We have crossed their thresholds and in- spected the interiors of their households. We have seen their few comforts, elegancies, and luxuries, and have grown familiar with that which made up the sum of their common necessaries. Their food, rai- ment, furniture, utensils, and industries have been in- spected in more or less close detail. We have had near observations of their manners, customs, and pecu- liarities. We have been witnesses of their prevalent substantial well-being at the opening of the war of the Revolution; and of the privations which they endured and the indignities and outrages to which they were subjected when the British soldiery occupied their farms, villages, and towns and burned their dwellings and crops. Their patient endurance, their zealous

patriotism, their unconquerable devotion to the canse of liberty and independence, their thrift, frugality, simplicity, rectitude, and fortitude have all passed before ns like the scenes of a diorama, and the re- sult has been to lift these men to a higher level. In all the qualities which constitute genuine manhood they were rich beyond precedent, and they remain at this day the best models for our imitation in all those solid and unobtrusive virtues which make a vigorous and great people. Their entire record may be scanned by those of us who are their descendants and in- heritors with praiseworthy pride and reverential gratitude. May their memory remain green among us so long as liberty is worth sacrifices, sufferings, privations, wonnds, and death !1
