Excerpt from The Families of French of Belturbet and Nixon of Fermanagh, and Their Descendants An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Marianne French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The Pubic Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete. In the very few instances where the exact connection of certain persons with the family has not been discovered, due mention has been made of the fact. For the details regarding the later generations I have to thank a host of correspondents. In some cases information could not be obtained. I have to acknowledge assistance derived from the genealogical works of Foster and Burke. It would be quite impossible to name all those who have helped me, but my thanks are specially due to Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Izod, Mrs. Oakes, Mrs. J. H. Pigot, Mrs. F. J. B.Priestley, Miss Saxby, Mrs. H. B. Stanford, Mr. G. D. Burtchaell, Dr. Crone, Major Crookshank, Dr. F. C. Crossle, Mr. P. Crossle, Major Gore Little, Mr. E. Higinbotham, Lieut.-Colonel G. H. Johnston, Mr. W. T. Kyle, Mr. 0. F. D. Nixon, Mr. W. Jackson Pigott, Mr. Henry F.Reynolds, Capt. Spedding, the Rev. W.B. Stanford, and Mr. Erskine West for information constantly and freely given.

"This has a double claim to special notice,- the quality of the book, and the identity of the author, the "cipher clerk" who broke with the Soviet Union in 1945 and turned over the documentary evidence contributing to the breaking of Canada's spy ring. Inevitably, one feels that in depicting Novikov, a scholar who molded himself into a "Soviet man", he has tapped his own knowledge of the techniques used to break down a man's resistance, to destroy his moral sense, to corrupt wholly. This figure is set in opposition to the "titan", Mikhail Gorin, a giant literary figure (based, the publishers indicate, on Maxim Gorki), recalled by Stalin to add to the propaganda publishing of the state which he had helped, in earlier years, bring into being. It is a fascinating and horrifying story, with intricate subplots involving insatiable lust for power, petty jockeying for position, ruthless elimination of all who differ from authority, and elimination of any independence even in affairs of the heart. Novikov, really in love with Gorin's daughter, Nina, is instructed to forget it and turn elsewhere; then when his marriage to Lida brings her momentary happiness, that too is negated by her father's arrest as "enemy of the people". The book builds up to an inevitable climax of disaster, as Gorin forcibly recognizes the position into which he has been tricked - and Novikov descends to the depths of infamy. But the final note is one of faint hope, that there is still the spark of faith in man. The story has the sweep and power of Russian classical literature, and despite its length, is a holding and moving reading experience from start to finish. "--Kirkus.
