Strong of Hartford, Connecticut, for helpful infor mation. I am also indebted to a number of book sellers and librarians for aid in tracking down material, particularly to Miss Elva B. McCormick of Brentanos Bookshop, Hartford, Mrs. Lucy Gay Brown of the Huntting Bookshop in Springfield, Massachusetts, Miss Nada Kramar of Washington, D. C, and Mrs. Irene Jayne Smith, formerly refer ence librarian of the Hartford Public Library. Most of the research was done in the library of the Con necticut Historical Society, and my best thanks are due to Thompson Harlow, the librarian, and Miss Frances Hoxie, his assistant, for invaluable aid.
