+ | Dictionary, and contributor of various articles to scientific and agricultural | ||
+ | journals relating to fungi and fungous diseases. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Family and furniture go naturally together, and the author offers no apologies | ||
+ | for including among his illustrations a small Seventeenth Century New England | ||
+ | oak chest which he secured for his collection through the good offices of | ||
+ | Professor Arthur Bliss Seymour with whom he corresponded many years ago. The | ||
+ | author is of the impression that this correspondence was opened with Mr. Seymour | ||
+ | at the suggestion of Miss Talcott. Mr. Seymour came from Granville, | ||
+ | Massachusetts, | ||
+ | the chest is chiefly its very small size, and the fact that it shows along the | ||
+ | front edge of its paneled lid, a line of charred spots resulting from the | ||
+ | burning back of rush-lights which flickered out over two hundred and fifty years | ||
+ | ago. The author has at hand no further history of the chest than that it once | ||
+ | belonged to the Seymours of Granville. Peradventure, | ||
+ | the author should come to light, some details about the chest might be | ||
+ | recovered. | ||
