INTRODUCTION.
By II. A. IIuRE, State Libearian.
This l)Ook is in remembrance of Marcus D. Gii.man. Made b}' him as a memorial of otbers and their work, it now stands by the indnstry which he wronght in love of his State, l)y the gift of his children, and by an act of that State which did it as well as him honor, as a worthy and lasting memorial of himself.
How it came to have its being in its present shape is shown by the following letter from his danghter, Mrs. Cnshman, and her husband, and the act of the Ver- mont legislature of 1894, authorizing the publication :
To the Lih'arian of the Vermont State Library, Montpelier, Vt.:
Dear Sir :— The "Bibliography of Vermont, or a List of Books and Pamphlets relating in any way to the State, with biographical and other notes ; pi-e}iarcd by M. D. Gilman, Montpelier, Vt.," represents much thought and time and labor of its author.
The work was done by him during his years of retirement from active business and in love and loyalty to his native State.
We, his surviving children, as the only heirs of his beloved wife, Mrs. M. M. Gilman, have in our possession and ownership corrected slips of the whole work as ])ublished in 1879-80 in the Argus and Patriot, together with the author's addi- tions made from time to time until his decease, January 5, 1889.
Feeling that this work is too important to remain inaccessible to those who are interested in the literary achievements of Vermonters, and furthermore desiring that the work should be preserved as a monument to our esteemed father, we hereby jirexenithe entire worh to the Vermoiit State Libi-ary, in the as.snraiice that it will be safely guarded there, and in the earnest hoj)e that the State will l)e disposed, in the near future, to make the work more accessible liy jirinting the same.
Respectfully yours,
HENRY IRVING GUSHMAN,
and EMILV E. GILMAN GUSHMAN. Montpelier, Vt., August 14, 1893.
iv INTRODUCTION.
At tlie legislative session next succeeding the presentation of tLe work to the State the following act was passed :
"AN ACT TO AUTHOKIZE THE PUBLICATION OF THE OILMAN BIBLIOGRAPHY OF VERMONT.
It is hereby enacted ly the General Asseinbly of the State of Vermont :
Section 1. The Printing Commissioners are anthorized to procure the print- ing and hinding of not to exceed eight hundred copies of the Oilman Bibliography of Vermont, at an expense to the state not exceeding two dollars and twenty-iive cents a copy, to be disposed of as follows : one cojiy to each town and city clerk's oillee, one copy to each free public library in tlie state, fifty copies to the Vermont Historical Society, and the remainder to the State Lil)rary for sale or exciiange under the direction of the trustees.
The Secretary of State shall procure copyright of the book for the State. Approved November 24, 1894."
Charles Reed and Mr. Oilman had known each other as young men, and they had kept an acquaintance that was the more intimate as Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Oilman were sisters. At the time of Mr. Oilman's return to the East, Mr. Reed, who was State librarian and librarian of the Vermont Historical Society, was much interested in preparation for the then forthcoming publication of the Collections of tlie Vermont Historical Society. When Mr. Oilman retired from business in 1868 he could follow the Ijciit of his mind and lie soon became a student of New England history, his own inclination receiving added impetus from the zeal of his friend. He marked out his own line, however, and it was a new one ; and on it he made his book.
With ample means at his command, as well as knowledge of books and love of them, he for many years took delight in gathering a library rich in local history, till, after the manner of many of those whose pleasure is in acquiring as well as having rare books, he sold a large part of his collection, but through life kept add- ing to the choice library which he retained.
In 1874, the year after Mr. Reed's death, Mr. Oilman became librarian of the Vermont Historical Society and continued in this position until he declined a re-election in ISSl. It was while he was librarian of this society tliat he mo.st zealr onsly labored upon the matter presented in the following pages. It was a task involving infinite pains and work and was Tiever ending. He began printing liis Bibliograi)hy of Vermont in the Anjus and Patriot, January S9, 187!», and the printing continued to Jnne 9, 1880. He had meantime gathered much additional matter, which was published in the same paper in the issues immediately after, as a supplement to the Bibliography. The printing of the supplement was concluded in
iNTJiODUCTION. v
the issue for September 22, 1880. But to near the time of liis death in 1889 Mr. Gilman sought and found new material and added it in manuscript to what he iiad printed in tlie two years named The copy, in print and manuscript coml)ined, became tiie property of his widow and at her decease, that of their daughter, the wife of Rev. Henry Irving Cuslnnan, of Providence, K. I. Tiie generous disposition made of it by tliem is set forth in tlicir letter, and the act of 1894 made provision for this publication.
lion. George Grenville Benedict, best qualilicd of all men for the task, was selected to edit the work. Mr. Thomas L. Wood, assistant state librarian, had col- lected many additional titles of Vernumt hooks and these he freely placed at the disposal of the editor. Mr. Benedict himself has furnished 503 titles and 73 bio- graphical sketches, and has made some hundreds of additions to the biographical notes and mimerous additions to the ii.st of newspapers given under the head of " Printing in Vermont." But, much as has been added, the addition and the work of making it only emphasize the research aiid labor of Mr. Gilman in creating tlio great body of the work, and his wisdom in planning the whole of it; for all addi- tions have been upon the lines marked and followed by him. Mr. Benedict, with the knowledge brought to him l)y editing the book, pays tribute to " the vast amount of work and care which Mr. Gilman gave, for so many years, to the collection and annotation of the titles," and adds : "I liave, as you know, spent many months of labor in preparing the Bibliography for publication. * * Perhaps in justice to myself (and to Mr. Gilman) I ought to have bracketed the more important addi- tions I have made; l)ut I have not done so. It is Mr. Gilman's Bibliograpiiy, sim- ply edited by myself, with so much of care and labor as I could afford to give to it."
Mr. Gilman's work will commend itself; and best to those who know best and most concerning the men of whom he wrote aiid what they did. He would not want much said of it here or of himself, for he was a man of affairs and not of words unless they were words that recorded some historical fact.
In Ijusiness he was a merchant, in politics a democrat, and in religion a spiritual- ist ; and as to all his convictions he was decided and outspoken. He was a leader among his fellows and was prominent and energetic in all Iiis undertakings. It should be noted that his election as representative of Montpelier to the House of Representatives in 1874-, was as a democrat in a strongly repuliliean town, and that he was prominent in the councils of his party wherever he resided. A hap])y fam- ily and social life were his, and they count most of all.
Marcus Davis Gilman was born iti Calais, Vermont, January 28, 1820. He was a son of Dr. John Taylor Gilman, and a grand-son of Jonathan Gihnan. Jonathan Gilman was born in Gilinanton, New Hampshire, May 31, I7t!3 ; mar- ried Susannah Dudley, November 9, 1783; moved toVershire, Vermont, in 179C, remaining there until 1817, when he went to live with hie son Joiin in Calai.s, making his home there until his death, December 5, 1824.
vi INTRODUCTION.
Dr. John Taj'lor Gilman was born in Gilmanton, Jnly 24, 1791 ; was a grad- uate of Dartmoutli Medical College in the class of 1814, and began practice at East Calais in ISlo, being the iirst physician resident in Calais. He married Ruth Curtis (who was the daughter of Col. Caleb Curtis and Polly Davis Curtis of Calais, and a grand- daughter of Rev. Caleb Curtis of Charlton, IMass.), and they had two children, Marcus Davis Gilman and John Melvin Gilman, the latter of whom studied law with Heaton & Reed in Montpelier, and now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Dr. Gilman died at East Calais, February 10, 1825. His widow mar- ried Nathaniel Eaton in 1829, and died in Middlesex, Vermont, July 28, ISOC, at the home of her son, Mr. Gilman's half-brother, Caleb Curtis Eaton. Nathaniel Eaton, by his first wife, Ruth Bridgman, was the father of Dorman Bridgman Eaton (of Civil Service Reform fame) and Ruth Eaton ; and Marcus, until fifteen years old, lived at his step-father's on a farm in Calais.
He then came to Montpelier and entered the store of Baldwin & Scott as a clerk, remaining with them until he became of age, when he went to Northfield, Vermont, and began his mercantile career as a member of the firm of White, Gil- man & Co. After two years in Northfield he returned to Montpelier, where he for two years was a member of the firm of Ellis, Wilder k, Co. Mr. Gilman's school education was obtained in the common schools in Calais and at the Washing- ton County Grammar School in Montpelier. He left the Washington County Grammar School to enter the store of Baldwin & Scott. He boarded in the home of the head of the firm, Daniel Baldwin, while working in Montpelier. Mr. Gilman married, at Montpelier, May 10, 1843, Maria Malleville Baldwin, a daugli- ter of Daniel Baldwin and Emily Wheelock Baldwin and a grand-daughter of the first president of Dartmouth College. In 1845 Mr. and Mrs. Gilman moved to Chicago, where Mr. Gilman was for twenty-three years, the remainder of his busi- ness life, a merchant. While in Chicago he was a member of three successive firms, M. D. Gilman & Co., Gilman & Grannis, and Gilman, Grannis & Farwell. His business career was very successful. In 1855 he built on Michigan Avenue what was then characterized as the most costly and in many respects the most elegant residence in Chicago.
Mr. Gilman retired from business in 1868, and for the next three years he and liis wife lived at Riverside in Newton, Massachusetts. They moved to IMontpelier in the fall of 1871, where they converted the Daniel Baldwin homestead, now No. 1, Baldwin Street, into a new and costly residence. This was their homo during the remainder of their lives.
Mr. Gilman died in Montpelier, January 5, 1889, and his widow died in Providence, Rhode Island, May 18, 1892. They are buried, with their children and three grand-children, in the Gilman- Cushman lot in Green Mount Cemetery, Montpelier.
The children of Mr. and Mrs. Gilman were :
INTRODUCTION. vii
(1) John Baldwin Oilman, ^I. D., who was horn in Chicago, July 5, 1847, and died in Montpclier, May 18,1873. He graduated at Harvard in 18fi8, and afterwards studied medicine in Germany and at the Boston Medical Oollcge. In the Franco-German war, 1870-71, he served as assistant surgeon in the Prussian army, and at the close of his service received the decoration of the Iron Cross. After the close of that war lie completed his studies in Boston, and in the fall of 1871 began practice in Topeka, Kansas. Exposure and overwork in an epidemic brought upon him a severe sickness, which developed into quick consumption, and in April, 1873, he came to the family home in Montpclier, where he spent the last few weeks of his life.
(2) Emily Eliza Gilman, born in Chicago, June 10, 18-i9 ; married in Chicago Rev. Henry Irving Cnshman, April 13, 1868. Their children were (1) Mary Alice, born in Boston, April 27, 1869 ; died in Providence, R. I., June 18, 1877. (2) Ruth Gilman, born in Newton, Mass., May 29, 1870 ; married "William Gardner Anthony, February 17, 1896, at Providence, R. I. (3) Robert, born in Boston, September 18, 1872. (4) Marcus Gilman, born in Montpclier, July 25, 1875; died in Providence, R. I., July 18, 1877. (5) Earl Baldwin, born in Providence, R. I., May 6, 1878 ; died in Providence, R. I., May 25, 1878. (6) Albert Henry, born in Providence, R. I., Se)>teraber 26, 1880. Mrs. Cushman died at LamandaPark, Los Angeles County, California, March 14, 1895.
(3) Sarah Alice Gilman, born in Chicago, March 21, 1851 ; died in Chicago, March 19, 1853.
(4) Marcus Edward Gilman, born in Chicago, June 26, 1853 ; died in Chi- cago, November 9, 1853.
This introduction, how^ever brief, should not conclude without a word of tribute to Mrs. Cushman, who made gift to the State of her father's work in its behalf. In her early married life in Boston, while her husband was Dr. Miner's associate, and in Dr. Cuslanan's long pastorate in Providence, her lovely character was his most efficient help in pastoral work and influence. Seeking a milder climate in hope of staying the progress of New England's most insidious disease she died in Southern California, March 14, 1895. Her t)urial was in Green Mount Cemetery from the Gilman homestead in IMontpelier. It is right that those to whom she was unknown who read this book should hero read what all who knew her knew that she was the exemplar of what is beautiful, good and pure — of true womanhood, wifehood and motherhood.

This singular book is the rarest of Allen's publications and IS remarkable as being the first work published in America 111 direct opposition to the Christian religion as has been alleged. An abridgement of it was published in New York in 1S36, with the following title : "Reason the only Oracle of Man ; or a Compendious System of Natural Religion. By Col. Ethan Allen. Published by G. W and A. J. Matsell, 94 Chatham St., New York, 1836." 12 mo pp. 106, including table of contents and index.
"The first edition of this work was printed by Mr Has- "'^i'' o' Bennmeton, Vt. Not long after its publication, a part of the edition, comprising the entire of several signa- tures, was accidentally consumed by fire; whether Mr Haswell deemed this fire a judgment upon him for having printed the work or not, is unknown— but the fact is he soon after committed the remainder of the edition to the flames, andjoined the Methodist connection; so that but lew copies were circulated."— Introduction to MatseU's Edition, p. I.— Sabin.
Mr. MatseU's story is a romance, so far as Mr Haswell having committed any part of the edition to the flames is concerned; it is true that the entire edition with the ex- ception of about thirty copies, was destroyed by an acci- dental fire, said by one authority to have "been caused by "gn'n'ng, so that the work is now exceedingly scarce
The liberal views contained in the Oracle of Reason so generally censured and misunderstood at the time of pub- lication, if put up in the dress of to-day, might become as popular as numerous publications universally accepted by the masses of readers. An hundred years have enlarged and greatly harmonized the religions of enlightened people. "

tion the following extracts from the able note by Mr. Dawsou prefaced to the work :
"Aiuoiig those who have become distiuguislied in the United States, few have been more seriously misrepre- sented than Hthan Allen, • * misrepresentation has extended over his character and conduct, as a man and a citizen, • • and the opinions on religious subjects which he is known to have entertained and published to the world. Without noticing, in this place, other subjects concerning which Ethan Allen has been thus misrepre- sented, we may be allowed to refer to the opinions on religious subjects— opinions which have been very fre- quently represented as of the most obnoxious type of infi- delity, etc. » • • The peculiar doctrines which Col. Alien published through the medium of the Oracle of Reason, as its author had reasonably supposed soon brought upon him the reproaches of many of those who read or profes.sed to rearl them; aud from that time to the present we imagine this work has ser\'ed as the founda- tion on which have been constructed the greater number ol the misrepresentations of his opinions ou religious and other subjects." « * • * Soon after the publi- cation of the uracles. Col. Allen discovered, or supposed he discovered, one, at least, of those 'errors,' which he was evidently prepared to find therein; and agreeably to the promi.se he had publicly made in the premce to that volume, he promptly proceeded, as best he could, to 'rescind' that error, and present in its stead what he conceived to be a purer ana better doctrine.
The 'error' to wnich we allude is found in Chapter II, Section VIII, page 94 of the Oracles, and concerns the 'essence of the Soul,' etc., * * and to correct the error into which he supposed he had fallen. Col. Allen pre- pared, with evidently great care, an Appendix to the Oracles, explanatorj' of his latest opinions on that subject.
The Appendix was intended to be published at a future day when it [wouldj not infringe ou [its au- thor's] fortune or present living; but so far as we can learn it was never published until the present time. It is a manuscript, evidently in the handwriting of its author, divided into an Introduction and four distinct Sections, extending over eighty pages of foolscap; but the letter to Doctor Gale, if it was ever attached to it, which is doubt- ful, has disappeared.
The subject of that Appendix, in itself is scarcely such an one as would eutitle it to admission iuto The Histori- cal Magazine; but its author's position before the world, as one of the founders of the State of Vermout, and the
f)urpo.se for which it was evidently written induced our amented friend, Hon. George K. Houghton, of St. Albans, "Vermont, to offer it to us, ou condition that we would publish it in that work, and appropriate, from the anticipated profits arising from its publication, a desig- nated sum toward the erection of a monument to the memory of the author of the Essay — promising at the same time, on his part, as an inducement for us to uuder- take what was not an agreeable duty, to prepare for it an appropriate prefatory note, in order that the publication of such a paper might be made as agreeable as possible to the readers of the Magazine and as remunerative as possible to ourself.
The death of our friend, soon after, deprived those who have survived him of the pleasure aud iustniction which the promised note from his pen would undoubtedly have secured to them, and the duty has devolved upon us to perform, for ourself, as best we may, the service which he undertook to do for us, and, in this brief and simple Note to introduce what will be welcomed, in many quar- ters, as a paper of unusual interest, while in others it will be rcgartfed only as a literary or theological curi- osity."

This is a part of what Allen calls Volume 2, and was hurried through the press without title page (^and omit- ting many articles, for want of documents, which are in- cluded iu the edition which follows), for di.strihution among the Citizens of Vermont prior to the meeting of the General Assembly of the State in October, 1804. 1 his volume is made up largely of matter contained in the editiou of 179S. See Allen's History of Vermont, pp. ill. iv.

By Ira Allen of Vermont, the Claimant in this cause. Volume II. Philadelphia: Printed for the Author. 1805. (Copyright secured). 8vo, pp. XXX, 551.
This volume includes a resume of the first, with addi- tions, iticluding the Appendix.
In the l.'itter part of 1S02, about 160 pages of volume 2 of the Olive liranch w.as printed at Burlington, Vt.; but it is doubtful if many copies got into circulation. We quote from Mr. Allen's "Statements," 1.S07 : "In the latter part of 1802 thcCloimant resolved on publishing a second
volume of the Olive Branch, at Burlington, in Vermont; much pains was tak^ by a conspiracy against kim to pre- vent the printing of it ; but he proceeded to print about 160 pages, taken principalh' from the first volume, when the press was stopped until the author could grain time to write the other parts, which he accomplished iu 1803, and delivered over the Manuscript to the printer who after perusing it. gave the terms for which he would procure the paper and complete the printing ; the Claimant fur- nished the whole of^the money." Mr. Allen then took a long journey on horseback for his health, and returning in January, 1S04, found that the printer had neglected to print any more of the book, and with difficulty he recov- ered the manuscript."
In a foot note Mr. Allen says: "It is to be observed, that in Vermont a powerful combination had formed against the Claimant, which was thought influenced the powers of the State. When Mr. Allen returned (to Burl- ington) he was furnished with four pistols and a loaded whip, well charged ; these measures were said to make some cousternatiou among the laud thieves of Vermont, and while different measures were projecting to arrest and detain him, he packed up the papers necessary to compose the Olive Branch, and left Vermont."
Mr. Allen in the "Statements," gives an amusing ac- count of the futile efforts to arrest and imprison him while attendiug the Legislature at Rutland, in 1.S04. Mr. Allen owned large tracts of lands about Burliugtouand in other parts of the State, but becoming involved pecunia- rily through the loss of the Olive Branch and its cargo, the " land thieves of Vermont," as he calls them, during his long absence in Europe combined together and stripped him of his valuable possessions, and he was forced to leave the State, never to return. We do not think the great services rendered to Vermont by Mr. Allen have ever been fully appreciated, he appearing to have been overshadowed 111 history by the coarser career of his brother Ethan. We trust that some pen will yet do him justice. For a brief sketch of Mr. Allen see "Gov- ernor and Council" of Vermont, pp. 115-117, of Vol. i. Mr. Walton thus closes the sketch : " his skill as states- man and diplomatist, his grand designs for the promotion of learning ( he was the founder of the University of Ver- mont,) and the development of the material resources of the State, will forever stand, a monument more brilliant than brass and more lasting than marble." See also me- moir of, by David Read, Vermont Historical Gazetteer, ( Miss Hemenway's). Vol. i. pp. 770-776, and by D. P. Thompson, Vermont Record, Vol.II.,Nos. 5-20, 1864.

I am indebted to Mrs. P. L. Hopkins, of East Berk- shire. Vt., a daughter of Mr. Bailey, for the following sketcli oflier father :
Mr. Bailey was born in LandaflT, N. H.. in 1787. was the youngest son of Major Asa Bailey, "a man of superior mtellect, perseverance and energy." and Abigail Abbott, a woman of great moral strength and "de\'Oted piety." She was a daughter of Dea. James Abbott, of CouLord, N. H., a descendant of George Abbott, the venerable ancestor who emigrated from Vorkshire, Kngland, 1640, and was one of the first settlers in Andover, Mass., 164,^.
Sterling piety seems to have been the marked charac- ter of the Abbott family. It is said of one that "he was a puritan in faith and conduct." (_)f another, "he had ten sons and two daughters trained up in the co\eiiant." Mrs. Bailey too, "through her unwearied faithfulness was enabled to see all of her chiidren hopefulb- pious," To her faithful efforts and to his early consecration in bap- tism. Phinehas attributed his after course of life.
When Phinehas was four years old his mother was left with only six hundred dollars to provide for her younger children. When tive years old he went to live with an older sister on a large farm; here he exercised his ingenuitv in constructing little mill works in the brook, and odd little traps for mice.
As the boy bears the type of the man, so Phinehas in chiUiliood often evinced tiie courage, tjravery and in- genuity that characterized him afterwards ; and his art- less attractive ways "foreshowed a gentle heart." When a little hoy he was sent with a little sister into the woods after tlie cow. He returned with the story that "a great black dog came close up to liis sister in the woods and he took a big stick and diove hiui off." The next morning a few men went out and killed a large bear near the place where the children had seen him. Years after when tell- ing the storv to his own children, and being asked "why the bear did not eat bim and his little sister up?" he replied, "my mother's ^>a »■(•»,? kept the hear from hurting us."
At one time going along the road alone, when a small boy, he was suddenly overcome with love and gratitude lor one of his older sisters ; and he knelt right down by the roadside and thanked the Lord for giving him such a /irt//rf.vow^' sister ! Later in life be was often as suddenly moved bv the same sweet impulse — to kneel and thank the Lord for some good gift.
At fourteen years of age he was apprenticed to Mr. John Osgood, of Haverhill, N. H. At the expiration of his apprenticeship he settled in Chelsea, Vt., and formed a co-partnership with a man having the same trade as bis own, who furnished the stock and tools, whilg Phine- has furnished the labor. While living in Chelsea Mr. Bailey united with the Congregational church, and also married there.
From the time of his conversion to the Christian relig- ion, when about eighteen years of age, Mr. Bailev felt a strong desire to preach tiie gospel ; but the want of proper education and means to obtain It, seemed fatal obstacles in the way. He found the barrier between him and the ministry growing more and more insurmountable every day.
Very early in his religious experience he formed the resolution that "always in public or private he would im- pro\e every opportunity to recommend the religion of Christ." In the large village of Haverhill he went from house to house and prayed and exhorted in nearly every family.
At one time he pressed into a bar-room and exhorted those who were swearing to desist. One of the men said "that was no place to preach!" another said "that Mr. Bailey had as good a right to preach there as thev h.id to swear." Several swearers never used another profane word in his hearine.
Again in Pranconia, N. H.,he went into a store to re- pair a watch, but bearing a man in the store using very profane lauguagL-. he gathered up his tools and went to a private house and asked for a table, saying, that a man in yonder store was so profane he could not stay there. Uf course the remark was quickly carried back to the store. This \ ilhige was chiefly owned by a manufactur- ing company. Tlie agent was greatly concerned for the reputation of the place, and was unwilling to have it said that the inhabitants were so profane that a stranger could not stay in the place; and finally through the agent the profane man apologized. Mr. Halley was soon solicited to help settle a diihculty between a Baptist brother and a deacon. The agent much interested col- lected witnesses for the trial while Mr. Bailey went to each party and made them agree tnmect.an<i by the time the agent had got his witnesses and people together, there was no need of any trial ; the brethren confessed to each other with penitence and tears ; a prayer meeting followed, and the result of this incident was a revival of religion. Such were some of Mr. Bailey's efforts to serve his Redeemer while at work in his humble calling.
In iHiS there was a glorious revival in Chelsea, num- bering about seventy converts besides many enlivened Christians. In the midst of this work of grace a ball was appointed ; one of the managers being a voung man who had been .seriously impressed. Christians felt that such a gathering would hinder the Master's work, and assembled the same e\ening for the purpose of trying to .'.A'/' the festivities by jjrayer. lust as the praving and dancing began, there came up a terrible thunder storm. The festive music and the thunder rose higher and higher, "but above and beyond all rose the low voice of prayer, reaching even to the throne of (iod." In a few minutes the tlance was hushed and heard no more that night. The next day Mr. Bailev was accosted with, '■ Well, you got together last nigiit to pray that we all might be struck with lightning, hut you didn't make out to kill anyliody!"
Again there was to be a grand county ball in Newbury, and again Christians deternuiied to meet it with praver; and again the ball was a complete failure. The hotel keeper complained bitterly to oneof the praying brethren of the great loss t/wy had caused him. Who would think of complaining of the y^/dii;/^' htethren. for the failure of a bail in 1879! There are many accoHuts relating to his earnest "gospel work"— as we should call it now — which seem of great interest In these later drowsy times; wc will mention but one more.
In one of the towns adjoining Chelsea the church was chicHy composed of old people. The younger seemed to think that religion was not made for them. Some of the live Christians of Chelsea sent word that they were going there to attend a meeting. They accordingly set out, a company of gospel workers, inauy of whom wer^; young converts; one, a little girl only twelve years of age and very diffident. Some said " why not take some one who can talk?" On the way Mr. Bai'ley said tn her, " If Cod gives you a message to those careless sinners, you will try and deliver it, will you?" She replied "I will try," The result of this gospel visit was a revival in that place.
From the time of that revival Mr. Bailey felt an ardent desire to preach the gospel. Night and day It was on his mind; but he saw no way of extricating htinself from debt and supporting his family while stmiying to fit him- self for so great a work. If this preat desire of bis heart, to be in the ininistr>', was indeed the call of CiO<I, what had he to do but to ask for the needed help and receive ? He did ask that if it was his tluty tobccome a minister he might be freed from debt and furnished the means of obtaining an education. About this time he ac- cidentally found an old system o( stenography, and accord- ing to his characteristic of searching out everything there was to be (onnd out. he began to study the little
18

pamphlet, never dreaming that in this would be found the answer to his prayers. He studied the book until be discovered the beauty of the idea of stenography, and enough to see the faults which suggested the thought of a system on an entirely original plan — to have one sound for every If ilt^y undone letter for every sound — and he worked unceasingly until he had got his work into type and print, which was first brought out in 1S19 in Poultney, Vt., and afterwards it went through many editions. Some time previous to this Mr. Bailey had given up his trade, and depended upon teaching the higher branches, and after his system of short hand was published he easily earned from sixty to a hundred dollars per month; but he only looked upon it as the steppingstone to something higher. He gained access to dilTereiit libraries and bought some books as he could, stud>ing all of his leisure time. He went to Middlebury and was assisted by the college professors, though not as a regular student.
He studied Latin, Greek and Hebrew, logic, rhetoric, and nearly all of the studies that lie between the A, E, C and a finished education. Though he could never boast of a college education, he possessed a well stored mind; acquired by the most unaccountable energ>" and persistency. His acquisition of so much knowledge was partly owing to self-esteem, and a will to conquer ever>- thing ! He would never for a moment admit that there was anything that he could not and would not grasp. In later years all of the difficult questions and problems that could be found were brought to him by his children, as puzzles ; but he would never give up without master- ing them. By teaching, his phonography principally, he was enabled to cancel his debts and buy more books.
Scott Brown in the •'Phonographic Monthly," New York, says of his work : "Phinebas Bailey gives in his first edition published in 1819, as complete an analysis of the elements of our language as exists in the works of any Phonetician, and more complete than can be found in any lexicography. No consonant element, no fine shades of vowel sounds have been discovered and presented to the public, that Mr. Bailey had not discovered and presented in his little book fifty-seven years ago, away up among the green mountains of Old Vermont. There is not a recognized element of our language that Mr. Bailey has not furnished with a sign of its possessing positive value."
"We do not know that Isaac Pitman ever heard of Mr. Bailey or his Phonetic system, so that both men may de- serve equal credit; but it is considerable for our people to be proud of, that in the practical applicatiou of Phon- etics to the stenographic representation of our language. young America was ahead of Old England eighteen years. The people of New England, especially Vermont, will feel a just pride in this."
Dr. Julius VValdemar Zeibig, in his "History and Liter- ature of Stenography," recently published, has given to Mr. Bailey the deserving pla':e of priority in the inven- tion of Phonography.
He studied theology under Rev. Calvin Noble, of Chel- sea, Vt., and in 1S23, was licensed to preach by the Orange Association in Thetford, \'t. He preached his first sermon in the town of Washington, and soon after, hearing of a vacant pulpit in Berk- shire, slaried for that place; but on his way was detained by the people of Richmond and Waterbury and invited to preach alternately in the two places a year. He returned for his family: the morning arrived for the last good-bye to friends, and the last tears to fall, on the threshold of the little place that had been their home for thirteen years. A company of friends gathered around the door and sang a verse of the hymn, "Pilgrims, farewell." The venerable Mr. Noble grasped the young brother's hand and with his parting blessing said, "L'ntil now you have had ministers and teachers to lead you in the way ofhfe, but henceforth you are to lead others."
Mr. Bailey received a call from Waterbury and from Richmond to settle ; but for some reason preferred to go to Berkshire. In September, 1S24. he was ordained over the two churches of East and West Berkshire — the first settled minister in town.
Here belabored arduously, being his first charge; and he being the first pastor the church ever had, they were trusting and confiding in him. During his pastorate of ten years, sixty were added to the chuich. He owed his effectual labors greatly to his pastoral visits; going to every house in the course of the year for the purpose of talking with each individual about their spiritual wel- fare. His labors in this way were marked with many wonderful conversions, and a great revival in 1S31.
His idea of authority was implicit obedience "to the powers that be"— to parents, teachers, or rulers. Some- times he administered reproof to his family, or to his people with great severity; and sometimes with a little cunning and wit. At one time one of the deacons usually
at his post, was absent at the prayer meeting, — it being a very rainy, windy night in the fall of the year, scarcely any one was present. After all the brethren who were there had "done their duty," the meeting was closed^ not very late of course, and the few went home. Mr. Bailey took his tin lantern and walked a mile and a half up hill to the deacon's. The deacon tremblingly invited the minister to sit down, for now he expected a sharp reproof or the "first step of labor ;" but to his surprise the minister seemed very happy, and sat down by the cheer- ful old fire-place and chatted about everything but the weather and the meeting. A dish of the deacon's good apples were eaten, a pleasant hour slipped by, and the minister took his leave. The deacon understood very well that if the minister could go there to call and not hurt him, he could go to prayer meeting; and his place was not vacant again for so trivial a cause as rain and tnud.
After a while Mr. Bailey thought he better seek a new field ; it might be better for the people and better for him- self. There were a few inmiovable hearts that possibly might be impressed under other teachers, and they were a burden npon his mind ; but when he came back years afterwards and found the same stationary souls, and the church scattered, he felt that he erred in leaving them when he did.
In 1833, he asked for a dimission, and was finlly dis- missed by a council. He then removed to Beekmantown, N. v., preached four years, when he found himself dis- abled by the bronchitis, Now he thought was the time to commence an undertaking that appears to have been on his mind for some years. We find from an old letter written by his younger son from Burlington in 1834 that Mr. Bailey had been urging him to come home and print a Bereaii paper with him — the son was a printer by trade. The son says, "I hope you will not be grieved when I tell you that although I have no doubt your desire of having me print a Biblical paper is founded on the purest of mo- tives for doing good, yet I view it beyond my powerand limits to accomplish it; it is impossible! 'Count the cost,' is a good maxim, founded on reason and the Bible ; therefore I hope you will not think of so extravagant an undertaking."
But he could not give up what he knew would be such a valuable acquisition in teaching the Bible. He removed to Essex, N. v., and succeeded in getting i\\Q promises of a great many good people to support "A weekly paper devoted to the study of the Bible;" and some gave him - money, expressing their fears at the same time. The oldest son was persuaded to undertake the work with him, and the paper was issued, "The Berean Guide," "A weekly paper devoted to the study of the Bible." The design was to have all Sabbath Schools and families pur- suing the same scripture at the same time. This as far as we know, was the first advancement of this beautiful idea. The Prospectus says : "We hope to render assist- ance to Bible classes by furnishing them from time to time with interesting questions and profitable answers." This grand conception was too early for those times. Mr. Bailey coilld not be made to believe two things; namely, that it cost a great deal of money to publish a paper for one object alone, like that ; and that people would be sIo7u to appreciate and support it.
In view of all the Sunday School organs — and some pretty weak ones — of different societies that find abun- dant support now, we sometimes wonder at the dealings of Providence that could not so order such an undertak- ing to prosper even forty-one years ago. (?) But it went down as hopeless, in a very short time.
Mr. Bailey then went to preaching again, first in Ticon- deroga, thenin Hebron, N. V. and back to Berkshire again in 1S45. We have passed hastily over the years— the iiistory of his own family, the dark days of suffering and want, over the (f^-t'Z waters of atlliction that God called him to pass through, as if to see how much human na- ture could endure, or to "show him how great things he must suffer for His sake ;" he who was so anxious to take up Christ's work learned the same lesson that Paul did. Vet in those darkest days he could often rend the black- est cloud by orayer ; during his life he received some of the most wonderful answers to prayer that have ever been recorded — prayer for house and home, food and raiment, as well as spiritual blessings. Prayer for daily bread was no vain petition upon his lips. He had un- limited faith in prayer.
He believed that in some cases when great favors are sought, the ear of heaven must be reached by fasting and prayer. Thus at such times he had in the seclusion of the fireside /<nnr7v (asis ; and in times of coldness and declension in the church, he appointed church fasts.
At this time previous to Mr. Bailey's going to Berk- shire, llif family had such a fast. Mr. Bailey went to New ^'ork and on his way home he spent the Sabbath in Troy, with the pastor of the Free church, preaching for him half of the day. In the evening he went into coil-

ference meeting and asked for prayer— that he miRlit be directed to a place of labor. The next niorniiig he re- ceived a note from a lady, contaiiiinE a small present and these words, "Go where God directs, do what He bids thee, and He will bear your expenses." It seemed like a lieavenly messaRc, and he resolved to obey it literalU.
On his way home from Troy he fell in with an old friend who said to him. "I want you to gu to Berkshire." Mr. Bailey replied "I will go." We think his trials and atHittioMS were never afterward as great as in the pre- vious years. He remained in Berkshire until 1S52, when he again left.
Mr. Bailey had a strong will and great force of char- acter which necessarily must be the leader; this with his eccentricities gained for him some enemies. In liis theology he was called "more Calvinistic than Calvin." He wrote 2,700 sermons, nor did he ever try to shy. or cover anyttiiiig of those tougher doctrines of the Bible which ministers do not dare so much as read in the pul- pit now. Vet under his administration he gathered more converts than they do under the smooth, galvanized, trumpery preaLhing of 1S79. Many of his so-called ec- centricities, his children can now look back upon with just pride.
From Berkshire he removed to Albany, Vt., and pur- chased a small farm. Here he spent his last days very happily; and here hidden away among the mountains of Vermont, in January. 1S61. he laul down his cross for a glorious crown. He was carried back to his old home and buried among his iirst people. As we bowed very low over the fro/en, waiting tomb, where terrors cringe and shiver with ice and cold, we could see and believe in the resurrection as never before — "The body sown in corruption, and raised in incorruption, sown in dishonor, and raised in glory." No wonder "the women turned from the sepulchre with great joy," when they found the grave had no power over the one they loved so well. Whether we choose for our precious dead some "dewy hiU" mid sun and warmth and flowers, or some cave deep and dank with mould ; and though a great stone be rolled against the door, it matters not; we know "they are not there, but ha\e risen !"
No more to feel life's rude winds blow, t)r griefs that chill us as the snow, Or view our hopes go drifting by, Oh ! ne\er more to sigh or weep — He giveth His beloved sleep.

I-'raternally,
WM. S. BALCH.
William Stevens Balch was born in Andover, Vt., April 13, 1806. lie came up. like most sons of farmers in ob- scure towns, at hard work and a small chance for an edu- cation. He attended the district school three months in summer until eight years old, and three in winter till sixteen ; when. ha\ing mastered all studies taught in such schools, his father permitted him to start on foot for Reading, to study with Rev. Mr. l,ovelanil. I-'our miles from home he stopped to warm himself, and was induced to *' take a school," at $7.50 a month and " board round." Eight weeks ended the engagement, when he was invited to an adjoining district to fill out the term of the "master,
turned out," at $8 a month ! The next summer his brother in New York city sent for him to assist in a private school — St. John's Academy ; his father purchased him a vest for 83 cents, and gave him $3, all he could raise for the journey. He laid stone wall until 3 o'clock p. m., the day before leaving. A brother-in-law took him to the top ot the Green Mountain in Peru, where he cut a cane and started into the world on foot, as far as Albany; there he engaged passage on a sloop at J3 for the city. He arrived there so shabby in his dress tliat his brother went next day to a second hand shop and rigged him for appear- ance in the streets. He remained but three months. The confinement injured his health ; and he despised what appeared to him the show and sham of city life. With- out consulting his brother until fully resolved to return home he bought a passage on a sloop for Albany, leaving but 50 cents, and when there over 80 miles from home. At Lansingburg he bought a loaf of bread and half a pound of cheese, all he had to eat until reaching home. Tramps were not in fashion in those days. Two nights at a shilling, the usual price, left him 15 cents. This journey and the sight and air of his native hills cured him, and he at once engaged in the last scliool of the former winter. The day before it ended he was request- ed to fill an unexpired term in Chester, at Sio ! Such an offer he could not reject. His father did, on the ground it was a bad school, and he would lose what reputation he had gained. But he replied that he had agreed to go, and if he did his best he could not be blamed, as if he broke his contract by not trying. His father consented, and he succeeded to the full satisfaction of all. At 20 he was again invited to New York, where he taught a year. At 21 he engaged to continue, at 5150. In less than a month a schoolmate came to the city seeking a place and offering to loan him J25 for three years, the first without interest. The offer was accepted, and satisfactory to all. With that sum he bought Ins tirstoulfit, and started out as a lecturer on grammar, by the recommetidationof Daniel H. Barnes, thefoumder of the high school system, and W. S. Cadell,, the author of a grammar. His first attempt was in Poughkeepsie. and very successful, realizing enough to take up his note and helo him on his way, also a laudatory reconmiendation (rom the chief men of the place. In Hudson. Greenbush, Albany and Troy he met with good success. In Troy he had a large class, and gave private explanations to Mrs. Willard, of the Female Academy. Returning home, he entered the study of Rev. Mr. Loveland, to pre- pare for the ministry. In September an older preacher applied for fellowship and persuaded him to submit to an examination by the General Convention of Saratoga. A letter was given him. From that day to the present time Iiis controlling thought and work have been devoted to the duties of his \ocation ; not in the role of a sectarian, but as a teacher and helper of his fetlowmen, on the broad principle of Universal Love, devoting himself to truth, right and humanity, but never to creed or sect, or rank, when they came into conHict. He has always pre- ferred truth in another to error in himself. From secta- rian and party schemes and plannings he has always kept aloof. When asked by his maternal grandfather, an Orthodox deacon. " Why he had decided to be a preacher?" " To help make the world better and hap- pier," was his reply. The old man, then on his death- bed, laid his hands on his head, saying. " God bless you, my son. and guide and keep you in the path of duty."'
From the outset he joined temperance and moral re- forms with his preaching and wherever he has been his sympathy has been with the erring, the wronged and the suffering ; and tongue, pen and hands have been ready to help relieve. In all things he has been open, bold and generous, but never willing to act from policv at the dictate of another. While settled in Providence, he was among the first and most active to secure a "Republican F"orm of Government" for that State, which it did not enjoy living under the Royal Charter of Charles II. He was settled in New York before party power crushed the rights of the people. He has always been successful as a preacher, and highly esteemed as a man wherever he has lived. Twice he has sought the retirement of rural life, but nowhere has he been allowed to remain inactive, and at the age of 72 he is working as hard and successful as ever. Twice his frieniis have sought to honor him with two useless letters, D. D.. but in both cases he has refused to accept them as not in accord with the humble spirit of the Master. While residing in Ludlow he was elected to represent that town in the Legislature, but without his knowledge or desire. In his second election he felt some interest, but said not a word to secure it. He was once offered, with every assurance of an overwhelming majority, the candidacy for Congress in one of the strongest Republi- can districts in Illinois. He refused all entreaties; say- ing he was not ordained to such a service, and, being

thoroughly independent of party, he did not see how he could be of service in such a iwsition. An obscure Demo- . crat was elected by near 2,000, and all Deiuocrals were ready to vole for him.
The labors of Mr. Balch have not been conhned to his parishes. He has traveled and preached and lectured extensively ill the Eastern, Middle and Western Stales. and has been several limes into the Southern to preach and attend funerals, going one time 1,700 miles, and many times over 1,000. He has twice visited and traveled extensively in Europe ; Ihe last time extending his jour- ney through Greece. Turkey, Syria, Palestine and Egjpl, as far as Nubia, not curiously, but visiting most of the important places known to history. The early years of his ministry were darkened by ill-health, induced by over-study and ignorance of the laws of health, but for thirty years he has been vigorous, and capable of endur- ance as in his youth, and in nothing neglectful of his duties as a man and a minister.
Mr. Balch accepted a call to the pastorate of the I'ni- vcrsalist Church at Dubuque, Iowa, in the spring of 1S77, and at the end of the year desired to retire from active labor, but at the urgent request of the church and society continued as their pastor.
Mr. Halch died at Elgin, 111., during the last days of December, 1S87, or the first days of January, 1S88.

Dear Sir :~l am not a Vermonter by birth. My native place is Jefferson county, New \ork, near the city of Watertowu. I was born on the 1st day of December, iSoS. My father, Chester Ballou, was a native of Massachu- setts, descended from Maturin Ballou, of Providence, the progenitor of all the Ballous in this country. He was one of the persecuted Baptists who composed the Roger Wil- liams colony, a Huguenot from l-rance. My motli<r, Rachel Ha> worth, was one of the Pennsylvania Friends or Quakers. In my childhood I enjoyed advantages for a common school education. When about twenty years of age I attended nearly two years the St. Lawrence Acad- emy in Potsdam, N.V., of which that celebrated teacher, Rev. Asa Brainerd, was then the Principal. I taught two terms of winter school in West Potsdam, and one in the town of Bangor, l-'rankliu county. N. \'. As we hail no Theological schools then, I studied for the ministry with Rev. Jonathan Wallace, of Potsdam, and entered the Uni- versalist ministry in 1832, and was ordained at the St. Lawrence Association of i'niversalists at its session in June, 1S32. Immediately after that I preache<l in Masse- na, Malone, Chateaugay, N. V., and the village of liunt- ington, in tlie Pro\ince of Lower (..'aiiada.
In January, 1S33, 1 moved with my wife to Swanton Falls, Vt., where I preached three years, half the time, and the other half in St. Albans. Fairfax and Berkshire. I also did some missionary work in Bakersfield, Knos- burgh, Highgate, Sheldon and .Mburgh; also in Canada, in the townships ot Brome, St. Arniand, Bedford, Stan- bridge, the Sixth Concession, and other places. Wliile in Swanton I taught the village school three terms, fifteen weeks each.

In 1836, I became the pastor of the societies n Stowe and Morrisville, where I remained four years.
In December, 1S39, because of a bronchial difticuUy 1 was obliged to suspend speaking in pubbc, and in order to have some business that I could attend to and gain a Hviiig for myself and family. I purchased the 'Universal- ist Watchman and Christian Repository." From Stowe I moved to Montpelier early in 1S40, and continued to be the principal owner and editor of that paper for thirty years.
During my residence in Montpelier, I preached half the Sundays in East Montpelier for fourteen years ; about two years in Barre; four or five years in Northfield and Marshfield; some in Calais, Duxbury, Wiliiston, Rich- mond, East Randolph, Brookfield. Roxbury, and other places. I also attended a large number of funerals and weddings.
In November, 1839, in connection with Rev. H. Samp- son and Rev. Jerome Harris, I engaged in an oral discus- sion of four days with Rev. Messrs. Grant and Marsh in the town of Danville, on the doctrines of endless punish- ment, and the final universal salvation. A few days after this I held an oral debate of four days, in St. Johnsbury, Vt., with a Methodist preacher by the name of Loveland. He affirmed that 'Modern Uiii versalism is a system of Infidelity," and I endeavored to defend our theological belief against this foul aspersion. Hon. Thomas Baftlett of Lyndon, presided as chairman.
I also engaged in an oral discussion with Rev. Miles Grant, the Adventisl editor of "The World's Crisis," in Boston. This debate was held in Walerbury, and con- tinued threedays. I affirmed that the "Coming of Christ in his Kingdom" began during the generation living on the earth, when Jesus dwelt in the ffesh, and Mr. Grant affirmed the end of the material world to be near at hanci, and also the annihilation of all who die unconverted. These debates were ne\er printed, excepting some ac- counts of them in the " Repository."
In 1857, I published a pamphlet of S4 pages, entitled "A Discussion on the Doctrine of Endless Punishment ; Question, "Do the Scriptures teach that any part or por- tion of mankind will be endlessly punishetl for sins com- mitted in this life?" Affirmative, Key. Luther Lee; Neg- ative, Rev. Eli Ballon. Ballon & Loveland, 1857. Mont- pelier.
In 1S58. I preached the "Occasional Sermon" before the "Genera! Convention," held in Boston, and also presided at two sessions of that Convention, one in Boston in 1S60, and.the other in the city of New York in the fall of 1861.
October 14. 1862, 1 gave a Biographical Sketch of the life and character of Rev. Hosea Ballou, 2d, D. D., before the \'ermont Historical Society, at its annual session, delivered in the Repreientatives' Hall in the Capitol, at Montpelier. A copy of it was requested to be deposited in the archives of the Society; but I believe it has never been done.
In 1871 1 made a visit to the State of Kansas, and acted as a missionary during three months. On my return I stopped at Maquoketa, Jackson county, Iowa, and preached all the time for a year to the society in that city. In the autumn of 1872 I returned to Vermont, an<l since then I have been pastor nearly seven years at South Woodstock.
I am now preaching every Sunday at Barnard Center in the forenoon, and at Bethel in the afternoon. I still regard Montpelier as my home, and live in the expecta- tion that in a few years at most, when age closes my labors in the ministry, I shall return to the Capital to close my earthly life there, as 1 desire to have my mortal remains deposited in "Green Mountain Cemetery," by the side of those of my dear children.
I have thus given you a very succinct history of some of the events of my life. My health is still good, and I feel that, if nothing out of the ordinary course happens to me, I am still good for five years of active service, in the gospel field.
Fraternally yours,
ELI BALLOU.
