INTRODUCTION.
jIMPLE and faithful family memorials are gradually becoming more numerous
in proportion as their utility and interest are becoming more fully recognized.
As a mere family record such a book as this is intensely interesting to
those whose circle of relatives far and near appear herein, and as the pages are
turned over and over, so the names of those who are with us, and, the memory of
those who were but lately with us, arouse, alas ! mingled feelings concerning life's
ever -recurring curriculum.
It is twenty years since my father compiled the first edition of this book and
with his assistance I trust I - have been able to make this second edition acceptable
to the various families. It may be desirable to state that every care has been
taken to avoid error, more especially by submitting a proof to the head of each family
for completion and correction. The additions have been so considerable as to make
this edition loo pages larger than its predecessor, they include fuller accounts than have
hitherto appeared of the families of Birkbeck, Darby, Dickinson, Jowitt, Lloyd, and of
Wakefield.
