		Charles, the second son of James VI, King of Scots and Anne of Denmark, was born at Dunfermline Palace, Fife, on 19 November 1600.
		Charles' attempt to rule without Parliament was not unlawful under the precedents at that time: it constituted a valid exercise of the royal prerogative, although it must be noted that what had been considered lawful in previous times may well be seen as tyrannical in contemporary eyes.
		Charles was buried in private and at night on 7 February 1649, in the Henry VIII vault inside St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

	Faith Hall of Fame - Charles Grandison Finney
		Josiah Finney, the grandfather of Charles, was, (as the genealogical tables pretty surely indicate) the grandson of John Finney, second, who was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1638, and whose father (John), together with his mother and brother Robert, was among the early settlers of Plymouth.
		Through his mother, Rebecca Rice, Charles was connected with a large and prominent family of that name appearing in the early records of New London and Norwich, Connecticut.
		When Charles was about two years old, his parents, following the prevalent tide of emigration, removed to the wilderness of Central New York, and found a temporary resting-place for the family at Brothertown, Oneida County, but soon sought a permanent home in Hanover, now Kirkland, then a part Paris.

	First 8 Virginia Shires/Counties
		The first eight counties were the four existing Incorporations (Charles City, Elizabeth City - which replaced the "heathen" name of Kecoughtan, Henrico, and James City) plus four new areas: Accomack, Charles River, Warrosquyoake, and Warwick River.
		The boundaries of the eight counties were drawn so most colonists could reach their county court sessions, where justices dealt with property issues and criminal accusations, in one day.
		The decision reflected the population growth of the colony, which created a need for official decisions that were local and not of concern to the entire House (or appropriate to delay until the next session of the House of Burgesses).

	Lancashire
		The town of Lancaster received a charter from King John, The castle was enlarged, almost rebuilt, by Edward III., who conferred the Duchy of Lancashire on his son, John of Gaunt, in whose favour he made the county again a Palatinate.
		Henceforth the castle was connected with the famous man who supported Wicliffe, and who was great in war and peace, "time honoured Lancaster." It was a strong and stately castle, commanding views of the sea, and we may imagine the splendour of its rooms when the great Plantagenet Prince dwelt in it.
		The town of Lancaster stands on the slope of an eminence rising from the river Lune, and the summit of this eminence is crowned by the castle, which, with the church beside it, is highly picturesque from the bridge across the river.

		Charles W. Slaton, Jr.'s superb essay, written especially for a lay audience, on the crisis in the Episcopal Church
		"We decided to leave the Shire and join the battle..." That was a metaphor I hadn’t heard before, but which resonated so deeply within me that I knew immediately that I was in the presence of kindred spirits.
		Perhaps the biggest revelation to me after spending my entire adult life next to men and women who had signed on to risk and, if necessary, lose their lives for a principle was that the Shire has an attraction today that is almost overwhelming.

	THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW IN NEW ENGLAND
		In 1910 I observed a pair on the Asquam River in Ashland, and ill June, 1917, I fmmd a nest and captured and photographed one of the parent birds.
		The almost complete absence of reports of the Rough-winged Swallow from southeasCern Massachusetts is significant and lends force to the hypothesis that this species follows river valleys in migration.
		Tile region south and east of the Charles River, which exhibits many races of the Carolinian fmma and flora,, has brought me but, three reports of this bird, all strag- glers dnring the migration period.
