Notes and Queries

40 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION NOTES AND QUERIES The Editor is prepared to receive suggestions as to diaries and journals containing first-hand material on the various sessions of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Unpublished journals are of course especially desirable. A compilation of such titles would be very useful for reference. In due time, perhaps, a combined account could be published, giving various sidelights on the sessions of the Yearly Meeting each year. This suggestion is the outgrowth of the valuable Pen Pictures of London Yearly Meeting, referred to under Book Reviews below. The office has received the first number of the new quarterly journal, The Quest. The paper is the outcome of a concern expressed at the Young Friends' Conference at Brussels in 1928 and endorsed in 1929 by the Conferences at Leighton Park (England) and Richmond (Indiana). The paper appears under the auspices of the Young Friends' Committee of London, the Board of Young Friends' Activities of the Five Years' Meeting, of the Philadelphia Young Friends, as well as groups of young Friends in other countries. It is an international journal of, by, and for young Friends. The first issue of The Young Friend appeared in Second Month, 1930. It is an eight-page paper published under the auspices of the Young Friends of the two Philadelphia Yearly Meetings. The Pembroke Friends Meeting House Association has been formed for the preservation of the old Friends' Meeting House at North Pembroke, Massachusetts. The Association has plans under way for the restoration and perpetual preservation of the house and grounds. Among the Directors of the Association are George R. Wood and Thomas A. Tripp, of New Bedford meeting, and S. Paul Townsend, of Boston meeting. This movement was inaugurated largely through the efforts of Horace T. Fogg, and he has been appointed Treasurer of the Association. In the Boston Evening Transcript, 10 mo. 30, 1929, there is an account of the forming of this Association, with pictures of the old meeting house and burying ground. From 1710 to 1825, there was a Quaker Meeting House on Quaker Lane, which is now Congress Square, near State Street, Boston. S. Paul Townsend , member of Boston Monthly Meeting, is making an effort to have the name restored to the map of Boston by having the newly widened Exchange Street, of only a block or so, running from State Street to Dock Square, named " Quaker Lane." Exchange Street is now a continuation of Congress Street and very close to the pld Quaker Lane, where the Meeting House NOTES AND QUERIES41 stood. (Note: On Second Month 20, 1930, the Street Commissioner of Boston issued orders that this street should hereafter be known as " Quaker Lane.")
