AS in Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus, in France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desz'a'emtnnz; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. The lapse of ages is inces saatly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more.
