Lincoln at Gettysburg
„OUR score and seven years ago our fathers "brought forth on this continent a new nation; conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fit and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have

It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Among those who enjoy this widespread popularity are Brown, Jones and Robinson-of these Jones castly heads the iti in numbers. Now Jones is derived from John, and means "the son of John." Here we find the reason for the extraordinary popularity of Jones. For John in its turn is more often given at the font than any other, not only in England, but in every other country of Europe. fu Wales, where the Jones family war and flourish, surnames were adopted at a very late date, and in any country, where this occurs, as Norway and Sweden, the surnames are taken from baptismal names.

One instance of the popularity of the name may be given. the Modern Doomsday Book (1873) are the names of 196 landholders in Angleson whose names begin teith J. and every single one of them is Jones. This name flourishes more in the north of England; in the south Johnson with the same meaning, has replaced it to some extent. Robinson is also from a personal name, and stands for the son of Robin, the shortened or pet form of Robert.
Thus favourite forins of Robert were Rob, Dob. From these we have the names Rohsen. Dobson and Hobbs, while from Robert itself we have Roberts and Robertson,
