ing of King's College, now Columbia, of which he was made one of the trustees, but his efforts also were efficacious in forming the theory of a State University, now existing as the Regents of the University. Union College received much aid from him, and Queen's College was an object of his particular care. In 1807 he assisted in its revival. He was always called to assist in the dedication of new churches and in ordinations, and at all times he carried on an extensive correspondence. The effect of all this hard work was shown long before he went to New Brunswick,. for he had become enfeebled and was frequently ill.

At the New Jersey town he had a great deal of labor and little encouragement, for Queen's College was insufficiently endowed and its students were not numerous. The Theological School did not exist separately from the rest of the College, and it lacked a permanent staff of professors. The rewards offered to them were small, pecuniarily, and they were continually drawn away by offers from churches which desired them as pastors. Ilis wife died in 1814 and his two granddaughters soon followed. But the doctor continued his work till he also was stricken down. Only a short sickness preceded this. On the 20th of January, 1825, he was found dead in his bed, his departure having apparently been an easy one.

Dr. Livingston was a " tall and well formed man, of a grave and intelligent countenance, of an easy and polite air. He dressed usually in the ancient clerical fashion." He was of a mild and considerate disposition, a tender husband, and an affectionate father. But with these traits he was naturally dignified. No one ever took liberties with him. In preaching he was formal, according to the custom of the age. The distinction he attained in the church was chiefly owing to the confidence that was felt in his goodness and his discretion. He would not recommend that which he knew to be wrong, and his intelligence prevented him from being often deceived.

The Year Book of the Reformed Dutch Church says that he left one child, born August 26, 1776, who spent his life on the patrimonial estate on the Hudson River, near Poughkeepsie, where he died on the 9th of June, 1849. This son was twice married, and had children by each marriage.

Dr. Livingston's publications, in addition to his works of revi-
sion and emendation, already mentioned, were nine:

1. Dissertation, De Foedere Sinaitico. Utrecht, 1770.

2. Inaugural Oration, De Veritate Rel. Christ.

3. Three Sermons in the American Preacher, 1791.

4. The Glory of the Redeemer, 1799.

5. The Triumph of the Gospel, 1804.

6. Address at Queen's College Commencement, 1810.

7. Dissertation on Incestuous Marriage, 1816.

8. Funeral Service, being Selections from Scripture, 1812.

9. Address to German Reformed Churches in the United
States, 1819.

INDEX TO THE ENGRAVINGS IN VALENTINE'S

MANUAL.

PART II.

The first of this index will be found in the preceding number.
It embraces from the beginning in 1841-1842, down to and in-
cluding 1859. This part contains from 1860 to the end, in 1870.
There was no issue for 1867, the whole series, therefore, being
two numbers short.
