In den früheren Jahren war die Handschrift etwas wunderbares, und von der Versinnlichkeit bis zum Ende war sie durch eine einzigartige Anmixtureder englischen Schreibweise peinlich. Diese englische Tendenz in der Schrift nimmt mit den Jahren zu, und in den Lattertagen von Pater Pomp hatte fast die Chance, dass die Platten in Deutschland gleichgültig gemacht wurden - in Ger-man oder Engli

Some of the first settlers of "the forks of the Delaware" and their descendants; being a translation from the German of the record books of the First reformed church of Easton, Pennafrom 1760 to 1852; . sionally crabbed even to provocation. In the earlier yearsthe handwriting was something marvellous, and from be-ginning to end was embarrassed by a singular admixtureof the English way of writing. This English tendency inthe script increases as the years go by, and in the latterdays of Father Pomp held almost an even chance with theGerman—the records being made indifferently in Ger-man or English, apparently as the mood held the scribe.And not only this, but what is even more puzzling at timesis the way in which letters in the same word are formed, now after the rule of the one language, and again after 14 The First Reformed Church of East on, Pa. that of the other. Though, on the whole, these recordswere well kept and clearly written, the ink showing as. black at times as the day it left the nib of the quill withwhich the writing was done.
