The premise of Anna Green's timely and original book, is that nineteenth-century representations of childhood and adolescence-in paintings, but also in other forms of visual culture and in diverse written discourses of the period-are critical for understanding modernity. Whilst such well-worn signifiers for modernity as the city, the dandy and the prostitute have been well mined, childhood and adolescence have not. Paintings of the young produced in France from 1848 to 1886, Green contends, inform not only our understanding of modern life but also our perception of modernist or avant-garde painting. Figuring largely are Manet and the Impressionists, as well as a gamut of more traditional painters of children who are crucial in providing context for the avant garde. Because modernity is an essentially urban phenomenon, Green's focus is primarily on the city, usually Parisian, child. The painted youth of her study are organized initially by class and gender. Then the chapters are structured according to themes (parent-child relations, modes of discipline, work, education, and play, the spectacle, sexuality) that straddle the congruences among the book's triple trajectory: the young, their modernist representations, and the experience of modernity. Green's interdisciplinary approach ensures that this book will be of interest not only to art historians but to all those concerned with the cultural and social history of childhood.

Being a history of the descendants of Samuel Wakeman, of Hartford, Conn., and of John Wakeman, treasurer of New Haven colony, with a few collaterals included
Something more than twenty-five years ago, the compiler of this work, at the solicitation of Robert II. Chapman, of Saybrook, commenced making researches witli a view to publication of the history and genealogy of the Chapman family in America. As the family were extensively connected with other families of the early settlers, a thorough examination of the records led to great familiarity with all of the families of the town whose ancestors located there previous to 1700. After the " Chapman Family " appeared in print, the author was led to prepare the genealogy of the families of Pratt and Buckingham, who were contemporary with his Puritan ancestors. The " Pratt Family " was issued from the press in 1865. At about that time the author was employed by Senator William A. Buckingham, to complete his collections, which had already been commenced, of the descendants of Thomas Buckingham, who settled first in New Haven, and removed to Milford in 1639, and whose son, the Rev. Thomas Buckingham, located at Saybrook in 1665. After having made very extensive researches, he found that Rev. Dr. Samuel G. Buckingham, of Springfield, Mass., and Charles Buckingham, of New York, had, in concert, some twenty years ago, made quite large collections, with a view, at the time, to publication at some future day.
