HOGEBOOM. The name of the subject of this sketch clearly enough indicates its Holland extraction; yet while the paternal fountain has carried along with its flow the title of its origin, it has, like the natural stream in its descent, received into itself the flood of many branches. This continent presents in this respect the opposite of the old. There, the streams of human lineage have run divergent, giving rise to the dis- tinct families of the new. Here, they are receiving their convergent f...low, assimilating the races of men into a harmonious whole; and following, as it would seem, like the circulation of blood in the indi- 29 Tidual, some great law of humanity. We make these philosophical abstractions parenthetically, because they are suggested by the family name, though they would more properly belong to a treatise on no- menclature than to these " hurrygraphs." From his father, Judge Hogebooni derives not only Dutch, but the blood of the Huguenots; from his mother, English and Irish — we may add, too, in passing, in all something of a " rebel " character.
