The Brights of Suffolk, England ; Represented in America by the Descendants ofHenry Bright, Jun., who came to New England in 1630, and settled in Water-town, Massachusetts. By J. B. Bright. For Private Distribution, Boston, 1858,8vo. pp. xx. 345. Among the many handsome genealogical works that have been pro-duced in New England, this may deservedly be placed in the foremostrank: whilst it has this peculiar characteristic, that it is wholly devotedto the history of those members of an American family who either livedbefore the emigration across the Atlantic, or who belonged to thebranches who still remained in England. It is profusely illustratedwith maps and views, chiefly of churches and mansion-houses in Suffolk:and the town of Bury St. Edmunds, in particular, has in its pages anepitome of its interesting history and representations of its very remark-able monastic monuments.
