PILGRIM SOCIETY
In January, 1820, certain citizens of Plymouth were in-
corporated under the name of the Pilgrim Society to se-
cure the erection of a monument to ''perpetuate/' as its
act of incorporation reads, **the memory of the virtues,
the enterprise and unparalleled sufferings of their ances-
tors who first settled in that ancient town.
The property ot the Society consists of Pilgrim Wharf,
with Plymouth Rock and Canopy, and adjoining grounds
on Cole's Hill ; Pilgrim Hall with its library, cabinet
and gallery of pictures ; and the National Monument to
the Pilgrims, with about sixteen acres of land and a
caretaker's house.
The income of the Society, chiefly derived from fees of
admission to Pilgrim Hall, is devoted to the maintenance
and improvement of its property, the payment of the cu-
rator's salary, and the purchase of such books, pictures,
and memorials as lend a new and increasing interest to
Pilgrim Hall.
The library, which it is the aim of the Society to make
complete in the department of Old Colony History, occu-
pies an upper room in the Hall, difficult of access and in-
adequate in accommodations. It is the intention of the
Trustees to erect a fire-proof library annex, and all
future membership fees will be added to a fund set aside
for its construction.
Any person may become a member of the Society on
the payment of five dollars to the curator at the Hall, and
receive a steel-plate diploma, twenty -three by seventeen
inches in size, one of which may be seen in the curator's
room, and a small representation of which is displayed
on the opposite page of this leaflet.
No assessments or dues of any kind are levied on mem-
bers.

6 Sword of Myles Standish.
Presented by William Trumbull Williams, of Lebanon, Conn.,
with the following certificate:
I, Ezra Standish, of Bozrah, in New London County, Connecticut, do certify,
according to my best knowledge and belief, that the sword presented by Will-
iam T. Williams, of Lebanon, in said State, to the Pilgrim Society, in Plymouth,
in Massachusetts, was originally in the Standish family, and was brought up
from Duxboro' by my great-grandfather, as I have always been informed (Sam-
uel Standish), and has ever been considered to have been the sword of Captain
Myles Standish, one of the first settlers of the Plymouth Colony, and my ances-
tor—and I have no reason to doubt the fact. Kver since ray remembrance it has
been in the family, and has ever descended to the oldest son. My cousin, Lodo-
wick Standish, sold it to said Williams. It was always called the Ancient
Sword, and was always considered as a valuable relic. Lodowick is gone to
Canada. The hilt of the sword is not the same that was on the original sword—
the old hilt was larger, and was called a basket hilt. The blade has on it the
figures of the sun, moon and stars, and I think the figures 1149 in a circle, and
on the blade letters or characters with which I am unacquainted.
KzRA Standish.
Bozrah, the 27th day of September, 1824.
New London County, Bozrah, 27th September, 1824.
Ezra Standish, aforesaid, personally appeared before me and made oath to
the truth of the aforesaid facts.
Sworn to before me. William T. Williams, Jus't Peace.

<< Inscription and History of the Sword of flyles Standish."
This sword is, without doubt, of ancient Persian manufacture, called by the
Orientals Dharban, vis., Meteor; and the material of which it is made is thun-
derbolt iron. There is not the least doubt that this sword fell into the hands of
the Saracens at the time of the defeat of the Persion tyrant warrior, Kozoori,
when Jerusalem was wrenched from him bj' the Khalif Omar I., 637. The in-
scriptions and emblems show clearly the above facts. On closely examining
the sun and moon engraved on the blade it will be seen that faces were en-
graved inside the sun and moon, and on closer exarainatian of the faces it
will be noticed that the engraver did not intend to represent them as human,
but lion's faces. History says that the sun, moon and stars were worshiped by
the ancient Persians as the celestial deities of strength and power — the sun
predominant, and the lion the terrestrial emblem of the sun, whose head, sur-
rounded by his shaggy mane, resembles|the deity he represents.
The present Persian coat-of-arms is derived from the mythology of their
predecessors; the sun rising on a lion's back, crowned with the moon and with
a circle of stars around her.
Ancient swords and other weapons were said to have often been made from
meteoric iron, and it has always been believed by the ancient as well as the
modern orientals that that material had an invaluable virtue of good luck in it
and a charm to its possessor. It is said by Arab historians that the Prophet
(Mohammed) and his successors were armed with Dharban sworns ; that when
grasped against the enemies of the religion of the faithful the warrior had
nothing to do but face the enemies— the sword would do the destruction. It was
believed by them that the virtue of the metal would strengthen them against
fatigue of the muscles, and charm their lives from the attack and thrust of the
enemy.
The three inscriptions, as seen on the blade (one on the same side with the
Persian emblems, and the other two on the other side), were engraved by the
Mohammedans, and at a much later period than the Persian emblems. They
are each different in hand and form. The first named of the two is the Me-
diaeval Cufic.
The interpretation is : *' With peace God ruled His slaves, and with judgment
of His arm He gave trouble to the valiant of the mighty courageous"— meaning
the wicked. On the reverse side of the blade are the two above-mentioned in-
scriptions, part of one ofjwhich only can be deciphered : " In God is all might."
The last line, that resembles Roman numerals, is not intended for a date, as
one would be led to suppose, but it is of private signification, not known to any-
body excepting the possessor, who had it engraved. The same with the other
on the same side with the Mediaeval Cufic. No onk can decipher it, as this is
the key to the charm, and when once deciphered by'anybody besides its real
owner it becomes as valueless as a reed. Before closing our remarks let us
notice above the two separate inscriptions; and here we find engraved again a
combination of circles, intending to represent fire, and a conical shaft, to re-
mind one of the meteoric metal of which the blade is made.
N. B.— It is not to be wondered at, then, that European and American
scholars have failed to decipher the above. Kven a medium Arabic scholar—
and he more advanced than any foreign scholar in the vernacular languap^e of
his country — cannot decipher all the modern handwritings without giving
an especial time and hard study, the Arabic language being so divided in itself,
unlike any other in the world. Anyone brought up in one calling cannot deci-
pher the hands of others, and it will at once be seen how difficult and impossible
it would be for any professor or scholar to master a language that needs almost
a lifetime to acquire it perfectly.
Having endeavored to serve the owners of this valuable relic of the past, in
giving a faithful interpretation of the inscriptions thereon,
I remain, with the greatest respect, their obedient servant,
James Rosedale. of Jerusalem Holy.
