The frontispiece is a picture of the old Lane farm house at Shep- herds, Mill-Knd, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, F^ngland. It was the home of Knglish Lanes for at least a hundred years, including |ohn Lane ( 1620-1 706?), own cousin and correspondent of Job Lane, who came to America alx)ut 1635 according to the family tradition. 1 rom the style of construction the house seems to have l)een built about the last of the 16th or early in the i 7 th century, and I think it is safe to assume that it is the identical building which was occupied by the Knglish John Lane alx)ve mentioned, as we know that he was "of Shepherds" and that the house was occupied by his descendants some generations later. The house passed out of the possession of people of the Lane name, by reason of there being no male descendants, about the middle of the last century, and out of the possession of any of the Lane blood, early in the present century, about 1820, as near as I can find out. The house is no longer used as the residence of the occupier of the farm, but as the bailiff's house, the bailiff being a sort of overseer or foreman. — L. P. Lane
