His great grandfather was Rev. Jonathan Ed- wards, Yale 1720, President of the Col- lege of New Jersey (Princeton), and a distinguished metaphysician, whose father, Rev. Timothy Edwards, Harvard 1694, was the first, and for sixtv years the only minister of East Windsor, Conn. After his graduation in 1841, he taught in various places until 1845, when he commenced the study of Theology, in New Haven, and then in the General _. Episcopal Church, New York. Theological Seminary of the Protestant ordained deacon in 1847 and ae oe next year, and became rector of the Church of St. John the Evangelist at Stockport, N. Y. He held a number of other parishes, and during the war was rector of St. John’s Parish, Hagers- town, Md., where his congregation was composed largely of Southern sym- pathizers. “Among other interesting incidents,” he. wrote in March, 1863 “was a visit from the whole of Long- street’s division of the Confederate army, and one Sunday I‘had the pleas- ure of preaching to a congregation largely composed of confederate officers -and soldiers, and at the same time praying for the President of the United States. This was only the Sunday be- fore the battle of Antietam, which took place eleven miles from us.” Although he resigned the rectorship of St. John’s parish, he had other small churches in the vicinity under his care, and re- mained at Hagerstown till the time of his death. He conducted a select school in the town during his residence there. He was also chaplain of the College of St. James, and for a time of the Grand Army. CURRENT YALE LITERATURE. Professor Beers’ Work. _ Professor Beers’ History of Roman- ticism in the Eighteenth Century, just published by Henry Holt & Co. of New York, and of which a review by Pro- fessor Phelps was printed in a recent number of the WEEKLY, has met with very strong endorsement from the re- viewers. The Outlook says of it: “Professor Beers’ work shows’ thor- ough familiarity with his subject, dis- criminating taste, the conscience of the scholar and the insight of the lover of literature. His book must be regarded as one of the most important contribu- tions yet made to literary history by an American scholar.” ‘Universities and Their Sons. The first volume of “Universities and their Sons,” published in Boston by The R. Herndon Company, has just appeared. This volume contains a general article on the history, influence and characteristics of the four Univer- sities,—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia. In a later issue of the WEEKLY this volume will be reviewed. It certainly is attractive in appear- ance, and the list of editors seems to promise a very valuable work. Gen-. eral J. L. Chamberlain is Editor-in- Chief, and the editors of the historical sketches of the different colleges are as follows: Harvard, William Roscoe Thayer; Yale, Professor Charles Henry Smith; Princeton, Professor John De- Witt and Jesse Lynch Williams; Co- lumbia, Professor J. Howard Van Amringe. There is a general introduc- tion by Honorable William T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Educa- tion, which is followed by a general article on ‘Universities of Learning,” by the Editor-in-Chief. The first vol- ume contains 750 pages and nearly 400 illustrations. It is beautifully printed in large and clear type, on extra heavy paper, and is richly and durably bound. THEODORE B.
