Excerpt from List of Members of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society: January, 1893 ON the sixth of February, 1889, the Council of the new-england historic genealogic'al society ordered that a Special Committee on the Rolls of Membership be appointed. The duty of this Committee was to prepare complete lists, in chronological and alphabetical order, of the names of all persons that have ever been actually members of this Society. Messrs. George Kuhn Clarke, Henry H. Edes, and Frank E. Bradish were appointed as said Committee. At the close of a year Mr. Bradish retired, and Francis H. Brown, M.D., was appointed to fill the vacancy. This Committee held office till their final report was made to the Council, on the thirty-first of May, 1892, when the Committee was discharged. The Committee had compiled a list of the Resident, Honorary, and Corresponding Members from 1844 to 1891, which was put to press on the twentieth of May, 1892, and was issued soon after in a volume of 155 pages. A history of the Com mittee on the Rolls of Membership, with an account of the work done by them, is prefixed to that volume. Thereupon the Council authorized the Publishing Committee to prepare and print a list of all the present Members of the Society. This task was committed by the Publishing Committee to two of its members, namely, Mr. Henry H. Edes and Francis H. Brown, M.D., who had both been members of the original Committee on the Rolls of Membership. The Publishing Committee for 1891 - 92, before their term'closed, in September, 1892, had compiled and stereotyped the Rolls of present Members down to that date; but their work was not fully completed, as there were various questions to be solved, and the present residences of some of the Members had not been ascertained.
