ARMORIAL ENGRAVING
The editor desires to recommend the work of Mr. J. Douglas Scott, of 71 Neponset Avenue, Hyde Park, Mass. This Artist-Engraver studied his Craft in Glas- gow and Edinburgh and practiced it in London and Paris, and among his patrons have been the nobility of those cities and Canada.
His work is unrivalled for excellence and economy and he certainly merits the commissions of our readers. Address him at 71 Neponset Avenue, Hyde Park, Mass.
O'LEARY MEMORANDA
The late Arthur O'Leary, ante p. 20, was one of the founders of the new R. C. Cathedral of St. Paul, Pitts- burgh, Pa., and the first window, near the entrance in the west aisle of that church, is a gift from him, in mem- ory of his parents.
The historical subject of the window is the first Mass celebrated in Pittsburgh, A. D. 1754. The celebrant being a French Friar, Denys Baron by name, who was at that time Chaplain to the French and Indian forces, sta- tioned in Fort Duquesne. The Chapel within the Stock- ade of the Fort was dedicated to "The Chapel of the As- sumption of the Virgin of the Beautiful River." This, too, is symbolized in the window.
BRITISH-AMERICAN GENEALOGY
The attention of Librarians and Genealogists is particu- larly called to the movement in Great Britain toward the publication of Parish Registers and Monumental Inscrip- tions.
As these classes of genealogical evidence are of the greatest possible value to American genealogists, and editions of such books are usually so ridiculously small,
33
that in a few years their cost becomes almost prohibitive, it is urgently recommended that our readers become sub- scribers to the current publications of The Parish Register Society, and the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments.
Among the most important undertakings in British- American genealogy is the collection and publication of the monumental inscriptions of the County of Suffolk, England. The first volume, containing all the inscrip- tions in the Deanery of Orford, is to be issued early next year. The edition will consist of Three hundred num- bered copies, only. One hundred for the United States and Canada, and Two hundred for Great Britain and Ireland. The cost of transcribing the inscriptions- many of them ancient and dilapidated-is the generous gift of an English gentleman, so that the cost of the pro- duction of the book is materially lessened thereby, and the subscription price for Public Libraries will be only Three Dollars.
