Notes relating to the history of the Sanders family form the substance of "An Old Quaker Diary from Whitby" in the issue of 1 mo. 1940, pp. 46-56. T)ROFESSOR ARTHUR G. DORLAND, writing in the Transactions·*¦ of the Royal Society of Canada, 33 (1939), pp. 59-79, assigns "The Origins of the Holy Alliance of 1815" in a considerable extent to the influence of Friends with Czar Alexander I. There was of course the general desire for peace that followed the Napoleonic wars, there was also the philosophic influence of his tutor LaHarpe from his earlier years. That the Czar's idea—an anticipation of modern languages of nations—was due, as often claimed, to Madame de Krudener seems less likely than that the earlier and more lasting influence of the Quakers, especially Stephen Grellet and William Allen, was an important factor. There is indeed even more evidence of this influence than Professor Dorland and himself cites, e.g. in the lives of Thomas Shilltoe and Daniel Wheeler.
