MITTKICICAL PEDIGIREFTDEEDID3CIIII
AND ME GROSIVENDIRS.
Why does a sentient being ever adopt the
profession of a genealogist, .linC Is it becausti
be is genial? Like Rosa , .:Vartfa, we' really
'want to know.. There are gentleinen in Boston
who twill trace you back to the original codfish.
The vagaries of the London professionals are
still mere complicated, and are thus aired in a
. late nunitier,of the• Saturday Review :
.
,
Does` it ever c o me into the head of a gene
alogist, when he is setting down the name and
exploits of somebody in.a distant century, to
look at the contemporary records 'Of that cen
tury and to see whether the man ever did what
heft; said tobave done, and whether there ever
' was such a man at all ?: Of course we under
stand how a tale passes from one Mouth or one
• pen to another, how it is believed without
thought or examination, and how, each time
that it is, told, it gains somethinf , °
in the telling.
Thatisomebody.must have told it for the first
time, and what was the state of mind of the
man who told it for the first time? We do'not
think for a moment of charging Sir Bernard
Burke with Inventing all the tales which he
tells us. • We feet sure that he only tells the
tale as 'twas told to him. But this only, puts
the difficulty back. Somebody-told the .tale
^first. , Did he believe it or did ho not? Did
be dpiply make a trade of it, and sell fore
fathers to whoever would take theM at so many
pounds or marks per forefather? Or, if he be
lieved his stories, how came he to believe
them? Did he dream them? This is per
haps altogether the best guess, as 'it saves
us from charging anybody with wilful
falsehood. But then it is odd that
either one man or several• men
should have had so many dreams so very
, muchfalike about so many different families.
,How is it that the dreaming 'power is so strong
with regard to one particular century, and so
weak with regard to several centuries follow
ing? how is it that everybody's forefather
came over with William the Conqueror, and
that then there is commonly so little to say
about the family till quite modern times ? How
is it that every Scotch nobleman has a fore
father who was distinguished at the Court of
King I,Achains, and commonly no more
recorded forefathers till perhaps the time of the
Stuarts? These things are beyond us; we
have no doubt that there is an explanation of
them; only we cannot find out what it is. We
do not think that Ulster and his brethren •
simply - put down anything that - anybody
chooses to tell them. They would hahlly put
it in their 'books if we chose to tell them that
the Saturday Review was, like the Koran, un
created, and that it had existed from all eter
nity. They must have some standard, some
process by which one tale is believed and
another cast aside. Only we cannot make out
what the standard is, and at all events it must
be something wholly different from the' stand
ard employed in the worky-day task of histori
cal criticism.
For instance, it does not seem to be the least
Objection to a genealogical myth that the
story is simply impossible; that, if things had
been as it is said, the history of all time from
then until now must have been quite different.
Thus one ever and anon hears of such or such
a man of the namd of Bruce that he is a de
scendant of King Robert of Scotland. For this
particular superstition we have a kindly feet
ing, because it sometimes takes a humane
form. The descendant of King Robert will
sometimes Make it a point of conscience never
to kill a spider, for fear he should Imply be
killing a descendant of that renowned spider
which taught -a lesson of perseverance to hia
great ancestor. Still there are difficulties even
about a belief whicill leads to such charitable
results. We remember once being told of the
royal descent of a particular Bruce, and how
we answered point-blank, "Why then is he not
King of Seote?" This was a view of the mat
ter which was quite new to our friend. It had
never presented itself as a difficulty that, if
King - Robert or his son David had left legitimate
male heirs--and we presumed that legitimate
male descent was what was meabt—the Crown
of Scotland could not possibly have passed to
Robert's heirs female, and that instead of a
United Kingdom ruled by the descendants of
James Stuart and Margaret Tudor, there
would still be a separate Kingdom of Scot
land ruled by the representative of the Bruce.
Of course all genealogical flights are not so
wild as this. We do not suppose that Sir
Bernard Burke, or even Mr. Walford, would
putfsuch a pedigree as this in his book. Still
our genealogical friends do now and then
venture upfsn stories which, if not quite so
easily detected as this, are seen on a slight ex
amination to have just as little foundation in
real history. For instance. two or three
weeks back the death of the Marquis of West
minster was made the occasion for the publi
cation of a genealogical myth of the most
daring kind. The Times thought that " a few
remarks on the descent of the late Marquis
would not be out of place at the present mo
ment," and the " few remarks" took the fol
lowinr, wonderful shape :
."If we consult Sir Bernard Burke and the
Heralds, we shall find that the GrosVenors can
confidently trace an unbioken male descent
from a distinguished house which flourished
in Normandy for a century and - a half at the
least before the Norman Conquest, thus carry
ing us in memory more than half way back to
the commencement Of the Christian era."
Raving get thus far, let us stop and do a
sum. If common sense were applicable to
such matters, we should say that, according to
common sense, . the "Norman Conquest"
spoken of in the above paragraph would mean
the Norman Conquest, not of England, but of
Normandy. The GrosVenors—Franks no
doubt, or Saxons of Bayeux, or genuine Celtic
Gauls—must have flourished in what after
wards was Normandy for "at least!' a hun
dred and fifty years. before the settlement of
- Rolf, namely, ever since some time for which
_.762would_he_a_moderate- date. Most- likely
then the first Gros Ireneur talked very good
French when King Pepin le Bref held his
Court at the Tuileries. But the chances are
that the writer in. the 'Theses, even' with the
help of Sir Bernard Burke and the Heralds,
had, after all, not got so far back as this; most
likely the "Norman Conquest" spoken of,
though seemingly something, to do with Nor
mandy, simply means "quando Rex Wil
lehnus venit in Angliam." It is then frOm
1000, not from 912, that we must substract 160,
and we thus get 910 as the latest year to
which the beginning of the flourishing of the
Grosvenors can be assigned. It was then
within the first tour years after the homage at
Clair-on-Epte that the Grosvenors took such
firm root on Norman soil that the fourth year
is the very latest date that can be assigned to
- the first bloomin , b of flowers upon the young
and vigorous stock. That it was so we can
neither assert or deny; It is certain, beyond
all chance of contradiction, that direct fore
fathers of the Marquis of Westminster, as of
every other human being on the face of the
earth, were living in 910, and even in 702.
Indeed any other date since the creation of
man might have been given with equal safety.
Choose what date we will, the :forefathers of
the Grosvenors.and the forefathers of the Tom-
Rinses were both undoubtedly in being at that
date. The only question is; whether WC can
put our fingers on any recorded man and say
with certainty that he was the forefather either
of Grosvenor or of Tomkins. Iu 910 then the
fOrefatherS of the Grosvenors undoubtedly ex
isted;' the point is whether we can prove that
. in: that year they were fionrishing in Nor-
A Relic or Marco Bozzarbi.
When in August, 182, Marcoßozzaris, with
five' hundred Suliote warriors, surprised the
Tnrhish camps and fell in the moment of vic

COLONEL BOTZANIS TO MR. TUCKENNIAN.
To his Excellency Mr.. Charles K. Tucker %
man, Minister Resident of the United States:
Mn. Mnvisri , m - : In asking me so earnestlyfor
some small object, as a souvenir, which once
belonged to my father; you have rendered an
homage to his .memory which touches me pro
foundly. It, is with deep regret, therefore, that
I have to confess that it is not in my power to
gratify your desire. An infant and a refugee in
a foreign land at the time "I lost' my father, I
received from his estate only two swords. To
part with them would be unpardonable on my
part. In my desire, 'however, to gratify you,.
.1 venture to offer for your acceptance a small
object, without value initself, but which may
acquire value in your eyes from the associa
tions with which it is connected. This object
is a simple silk tassel which] have detached
from the sword which my father wore in his
last hour at that night's combat, of which your
eminent national poet, lialleck, has sung in
such magnificent verse. It will thus at ,the
same time recall to you the glorious end of a
warrior who died for the deliverance of his
country, and the admirable verses, which that
event inspired, of the poet who honors your
own.
If you will accept What 1 oiler, Mr. Minister,
you will confer upon me a pleasure and an
honor, for I cannot fail to See in you, tlerepre
sentative of the great American nation, which
is dear to me, not only the noble qualities
which it illustrates and the aspirations of its
free and prosperous people, but for thine con
stant sympathies, of whichl it gives so many
proofs, in behalf of my country, and
lastly, the veneration with which it honors
he memory of my father.
Accept, Mr. Minister, the assurance of my
nost distinguished consideration, your very
nimble servant, D. M. 13oTzmus.

TUCEERMAN TO COLONEL BOTZAMIS
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, Sep
tember 1, 1869.--:-Colonel D. M. Botzaris,
Commander-in-Chiel of tke Garrison, Corfu:
PEAR Sin: Accept my sincere thanks for the
memento which you have been so generous as
to give to me, of your illustrious father.
My countrymen watched the struggle of
1821-S with unselfish interest; and when they
saw it illustrated by such glorious acts of self- .
devotion ' never during its darkest 'periods
lost faith in the ultimate triumph of • the prin
ciples which it espoused. • •
The memorable action whtch cost Marco
Botzaris his life sent a thrill through the United
States; and the descriptive poem of Halleck to
which you refer did much to consecrate the
cause of Greece in the American heart and
intensify public sentiment. The name of the
great Suliot chieftain was thus made familiar to
every household, and the'poem is declaimed to
day in every school in the land, and will not,
perish.
Yon have not, therefore, placed this little
relic in unappreciative hands; and I assure
you that I regard it, as will the many who may
look upon it, with the deepest interest.
I have the „ honor to be, Colonel, very re
spectfully, your obedient servant,
CHARLES K. TUCKERMAN.
ART ITEMS:
—The fine galleries of. Leavitt, Strebeigh
& Co., Clinton Hall, Astor Place, N. Y.. were
opened recently for a private view of Mr.
Constant Mayer's paintings, nineteen in num
ber.
—Mr. Hamerton, in the Painter's Camp, has
an instructive paper on "The Relation between
Photography and Painting," wherein we find
this decisive t assage : 'Photography is not a
fine art, but an art-science; narrow in range,
emphatic in assertion, telling one truth for ten
falsehoods, but telling always distinctly the one
truth that it is able to perceive." And among
the conclusions at which the writer has arrived
is the following : "Photography and painting
are for ever independent of each other; there,is
no manner of rivalry possible between them.
Each has its own path." Furthermore, Mr.
Ilamerton is of opinion that "to art in general
photography has rendered several inestimable
services ; first, by relieving it of the drudgery
of detailing commonplace filets where imagina
tion, and feeling are not wanted ;" then, "as
leading consequently to a clearer understand
ing, on tLe part of the public, of the nature. of
fine art, as distinguished from unintelligent
copy ism; also as affording a sound basis for
criticism, by putting within everybody's reach
an encyclopedia of the rudimentary facts of
nature ; and lastly, by reproducing works of
real art in an authentic and reliable manner."
We would, in conclusion, add .our own tribute
to the services received from photography in
the historic, study of the arts. In fine, we may
recall the dictum of an English Judge,that our
age has been distinguished by three discoveries :
locomotion by steam, telegraphy by electricity,
and thirdly, and perhaps scarcely least, pho
tography by aid of light.
—Mr. Moses 'Wight's picture of "Eve at the
Fountain" has been placed on exhibition at
one,Df the Boston galleries. It proves to be
identical in conception and drawing with the
artist's presentation.of the same subject five or
six years ago. The canvas indeed is the same';
but Mr. Wight has gene over it thoroughly, so
that the work is in fact repainted, Th oruother.
ofanankind is represented at the instant of her
-creatiom half reclining at the edge of a pool,,
and viewing with delight the reflection of her
face and figure. The form is entirely nude,
but the long, flowing yellow hair gives a slight
protection. The drawing of the figure, par
ticularly the lower limbs, is undeniably a little
stiff; but the artist's skill in color is slid to be
quite remarkable. Mr. Wight studied under
Couture. A marble bust of Miss Anna Diekin
on by Mr. W: A.'Brackett, has been placed on
View at another !gallery. She looks old and un
beautiful.
—The celebrated artist Kaulbach is said to
he engaged in the composition of a picture re
presenting our Saviour driving the speculators
and self-seekers out of the (Keumenical Coun
cil, as lie once did the money-changers out of
the temple at Jerusolem. Great interest is of
course excited by the subject of the painting.

Dr. Nimbi'satires Journey to Tibesty...
Narrow Eriettpe from Death—lfts 'Own
Narrative.
FRANKFORT-ON-VIE -MAIN, GERMANY,
Nov. 19, 1869.--Dr.Nachtigall, the African ex
plorer, appears to have narrowly escaped a fate
aiwilart_o-that which so lately,befell Fraulein
Thuni. lie left Tripoli on the IStli of Feb
nary, taking in charge the presents from King
Wilhelm, of Fruisia, to the Sultan of Bornu.
Arriving at lifooriook, the capital of Fezzan, at
the end of March, he found that no caravans
proceeded to Bernu until the fall, and, the
, country being in a very unsettled state between
these two points, he could not venture alone
on the journey. To fill up the intervening
time, he, therefore, planned a journey south
east to the Tibbo-Reschadi of Tibesty, a people
not previously visited by Europeans,but.known
to be extremely cruel' and uncivilized. The
great dangers of the undertaking were repre
sented by experienced 'travelers, but Dr.
aehtigall, who is now on his first African
journey, could not be induced to overlook the
opportunity, and in .1 one last he started on his
proposed excursion.
In July a letter was received from him, in
which he said• that lie hint - Safely reached
'Tibesty, and was abont to rettai to Momsook,
in order to be iu time for the December cara
vans starting southward. Telegrams arrived
. .
in Germany some time ago that he had' been
imprisoned In Bardoy, and had, however,
• escaped by' flight and haiVreachedMoorsook
after almost Superitma,tiistifferinge. ,,
von Midtzan has now recOy(f4' a letter froM
!Dr. Nachtigall, and publishefftietne;PoOlons,,'Of
it in the Augsburg AlgenlOW Zeitung. Dr.
Nachtigall writes: • .
"After terrible suffering and great dangers
during the past months I arrived yesterday
(Bth of October) at Moorsook, half naked and
s tatve without; (4M1,14 praW f losing a,siugle
one of my men. During a' whole month
(August) we were prisoners in Bardoy, and
only escaped from its cruel and bloodthirsty
inhabitants; by , flight at ilight. Since the 4th
of gepteMber
,hitve ;walk NM ten to i*elve
bouts day,' lily only ndurishinent
dates—a remarkable example how man can
travel the desert on foot, Without camels to
carry a stock of wate=r. In fact, after leaving
the mountainous region of_Asafi, whicklies in.
the centre between the Tfimmo in El 'War and
Tibesty, - we carried our scanty provision of
dates in our pockets, and water upon our backs,
and guided ourselves without a leader, and
without any knowledge , of • tI4 way, toward
which place we 'reached *hen half'
(lead with fatigue and privation. Three days'
rest by its refreshing water strengthened us
somewhat again, but exhausted our stock of
dates so thoroughly that we, incredible to say,
made the whole. five days' journey' from El
War to Fedserri without. any nourishment. and
with insufficient water.
"This, however, by no means discouraged
me. On the contrary, it has given me proofs
of my own physical _elasticity.. Often I be
lieved that I must succumb. but I always suc
ceeded by collecting together my power of
will to strengthen' piy tottering limba. Threat
ened death from thirst and by murder, and
gradual death by hunger—nothing was spared
us. Our return journey excited .the astonish
ment of the Arabs, Feztanees and Tibbus.
Nobody would dare to brave such dangers;
and even now I think of them as a supernatu
ral dream." • .
Dr. Nachtigall was thus the first European
who ever reached Tibesty. The Tibet' inhabi
tants of the country are extremely uncivilized,
-cruel and perfidious, and Dr, Nachtigall would
probably have paid the penalty of his daring
with his life bad he not fortunately managed
to escape by flight. He,hoWever, lost. all his
baggage and his camels, of which he hi'd' six,
belonging to the Prussian Government. The
royal presents be of course had left behind at
Moorsook,where they are now safe. Dr. Nach
tigall, it appeam, is making the' entire journey
at MS own ebst, being only paid 'for the ' trans
portation of the goods to Bornu. lie took the
camels with hitn on his journey
to Tibesty because' they would have
been doing no good iu Moorsook. He is now.
waiting in Moorsook for a caravan to Bornu.
Baron Maltzan says, however, there is at,
present but little expectation of one starting
soon, for the whole conntry 'month Is in a most
unsettled and dangerous condition. The etin
tinual plundering expeditions of the Tuareggs,
the Tibbus, and the Ulad'' Sliman have made
the neighborhood so insecure that the caravans
dare not venture oat. '
Whether Dr. Nachtigall possesses tbe re
quisites of an African traveler may be best
seen by .a few items relative to his life. , :That
he has the courage is proven, and Baron von
.3laltz.an says "his journey promises the most
interesting'scientitic results, and will secure
him a prominent place among African travel-.
