Historical Notes

   William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Papers, Vol. 2, No. 1.
   (Jul., 1893), p. 70.

                             HISTORICAL NOTES

   Mr. Edward W. James writes in correction of the Bacon pedigree which appeared in the 
April No. last:  "Draw a line between Sir Nicholas Bacon and his second wife to Francis
Bacon and put Bacon before Nerulam and Make Finsburg, Finsbury."

   In "Virginia Threads for future Historians" April No. on page 194 "Villiard" should
be Villiers; on page 195 "Cednor" should be Codnor.

   A recent interesting publication is the "Financial History of Virginia", 1609-1776, by
William Zebina Ripley Ph.D. University Fellow in Economics, Columbia College.

   "Church and State in North Carolina", by Stephen Beauregard Weeks, Ph.D., is another
highly interesting publication.  It comes from the Johns Hopkins Press and is one of the
Johns Hopkins University studies.

   Prof. James F. Jameson, of Brown University, has written an interesting paper for the
New York Nation, in which he shows that the percentage of voters in Virginia, previous to
the Revolution, was twice as great as in New England.

   Mr. Stanard's "Washington" paper in the April No. of the Quarterly has attracted much
attention.
