     First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway and Woodbridge,
     Olde East New Jersey, 1664-1714, by Orra Eugene Monnette. Part
     IV, pp. 451-643, maps, facsimile records, illustrations. Price to
     new subscribers #8.25. Address: Orra Eugene Monnette, 350 South
     Oxford Avenue, Los Angeles, California.

     Part IV of Piscataway and Woodbridge, New Jersey, deals
     especially with the early settlement of Woodbridge and brings
     together a great many reprints bearing on this subject. Many
     early records are included, which, we believe, have not
     heretofore been printed. Among these are the earliest Woodbridge
     Town Records, and Abstracts of the Minutes of the Proceedings,
     1683-1720, of the Courts of Middlesex County. There are lists of
     the pioneers in many early towns. What is equivalent to an early
     New Jersey Census is found under the headings - Freeholders of
     Middlesex County, 1752; Freeholders of the County of Essex, 1755;
     Tax Roll of Hunterdon County, 1722. Nearly fifty pages are
     devoted to the genealogical treatment of first settler families
     in alphabetical order, references to the source of information
     being given. This portion of Part IV seems destined to do for New
     Jersey, what Pope's Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire has done
     for that region. The excellent bibliography of Part III is
     continued in Part IV. In these volumes Mr. Monnette has collected
     all the known material that bears on this part of early New
     Jersey. It is a most valuable series.
