DONATIONS TO THE LIBRARY.

History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family. Collateral lines in groups, Normandy, Great Britain and America, comprising the ancestors and descendants of Eltwood Pomery from Beminster, County Dorset, England, 1630. By Albert A. Pomeroy, 962 pages. Price, $15.00. Address, the author, Sandusky, Ohio. Donated by Franklin T. Pomeroy, Mesa, Ari

zona.

This is one of the most beautiful books we have ever received, one of which every Pomeroy might well be proud. The paper, the print, and the binding are of the best. The illustrations are beautiful. The arrangement and the numbering follow closely the standard system.

Part I deals with the ancient European lines, with descriptions of castles, historic documents, and many names. Part II begins with the emigrant ancestor, Eltweed Pomeroy, who came to America in 1630. Eleven generations are given, numbering 10.240 names. There is a complete index of both Pomeroy and not Pomeroy names. Franklin T. Pomeroy, the donor of the book, now living in Mesa, Arizona, is of the eighth generation and is number 7,828 in the book. His father, Francis M. Pomeroy, one of the original Utah Pioneers, is also given, with his family. (A sketch of his life, with portrait, was published in this magazine for January, 1913.) We are pleased to have this splendid book in our library.
