Genealogical Memoies of John Know, and of the Family of

Knots. By the Rev. Charles Rogers. (Printed for the Royal Historical Society.)

--Dr. Rogers has performed with most satisfactory diligence a task which has evidently been a labour of love. Perhaps we may be

allowed to hint that to the average reader there is a superabundance of Knoxos in this volume. There are about seven columns of them, each with some sixty names in it, and more columns of names of persons connected with them. If Dr. Rogers would have been con- tent to give a theological tree of the Reformer's family, with notes of any descendants or collaterals who were in any way distinguished, we should have been more grateful than we are able to fool for this genealogical labyrinths.
