This little volume throws much light upon the history of
Virginia through the record left in the names of the counties.
The work contains several valuable tables. One of these gives
the governors of Virginia from 1607 to 1908.

McDonald Papers.--Copies of Papers in Brit. Rec. Office. Virginia
State Library, Richmond. There were seven volumes of these
documents, but two of them have been missing for many years.
Vol. I covers the years from 1619 to 1626; Vol. II from 1627 to
1640; Vols. III and IV are missing; Vol. V from 1675 to 1681;
Vol. VI from 1681 to 1685; Vol. VII from 1683 to 1695. This
collection contains many papers that are to be found in
Sainsbury, but they are usually more full, being often exact
copies of the originals. In addition there are many papers in
the McDonald collection not to be found elsewhere.

Maury, Richard L.--The Huguenots in Virginia. Col. Maury in this
work has rendered an important service to Virginia history. On
every page are evidences of the utmost care for truth and the
greatest diligence in reaching it. Col. Maury made, before
writing this book, a thorough study of the sources of Virginia
history and the accuracy of his work reflects this labor.

Maxwell, William.--The Virginia Historical Register. Printed by
Macfarlane and Ferguson, Richmond. In six volumes. This work is
one of the fruits of the revival of interest in Virginia history
which took place in the two decades preceding the Civil War. It
contains many papers and documents printed for the first time,
and no student of colonial history can afford to neglect it.

Meade, William.--Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia.
J.B. Lippincott and Co., Philadelphia. Two volumes. The title
does not indicate all, nor the most valuable part, of the
contents of this work. In addition to giving numerous facts in
regard to the old churches and their ministers and
congregations, the author has presented an ecclesiastical
history of Virginia. The contest of the vestries with the
governors to obtain and to keep control of the church, is
carefully and ably set forth. Also, the relation of this
struggle to the political life of the colony is kept constantly
in sight. The appendix contains several papers relating to
church affairs that are invaluable to th
