Henry H. was a remarkable man. He seemed to
have a knowledge of every science and art, and was a
living encyclopedia. He must be very old now if
alive. It must be from fifteen to twenty years since
I have seen him.

The same old newspaper of July 3d, 1805, that
announces the admission of Henry H. into business
with his father, also contains this advertisement:
"Warren Brackett and Henry H. Schieffelin, attor-
neys-at-law, have entered into copartnership in the
law business under the firm of Brackett &.Schieffe¬
lin, and have opened their office at 193 Pearl street."
Previously Henry H. had his law office at 123 Pearl
street. About this time, shortly after his return from
Europe, he married Miss Bradhurst, a daughter of
Dr. Bradhurst.

Samuel B. Schieffelin, who is the author of "Foun¬
dations of History," is a son of Henry H. Samuel
B. has several children. A daughter married Mr.
Dodge, of the firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co.; and a
son of his, William Henry Schieffelin, was married
a few months ago, at the " Jay homestead," to Misa
Mary Jay, daughter of John Jay.

H. Maunsel Schieffelin, of the firm of H. M.
Schieffelin & Fowler, commission merchants in Front
I'treet, is also a son of Henry H.
