:Memorial Sketches of Stephen Whitney Phoenix. By Jacob Bailey Moore and Henry Thayer Drowne, of New York. Boston: Press of David Clapp & Son, 35 Bedford Street. 1883. 8vo. pp. 6+7.

:These are two interesting sketches of the life of S. Whitney Phoenix, a graduate of Columbia College, a fine Greek and Latin scholar, and one well read in English literature. His knowledge had been elarged by travel in various parts of the world. His love for his kindred and his desire to preserve their memory, were shown by the exhaustive work on his mother's family, the Whitneys, noticed by us in July, 1879. He had also collected much about the Phoenixes and other families from which he was descended. Mr. Moore's excellent sketch of him for the New York Historical Society, in reprinted from the [[Archive:NEHGR, Volume 37|Register for July, 1883]]. That of Mr. Drowne, his intimate friend, was read before the Rhode Island Historical Society, July 3, 1883, and was printed in the Newport Historical Magazine the same month. The two biographies present clearly the incidents in the much too brief career of ne who showed the liberality of his nature by noble bequests to Columbia College, the New York Historical Society and the Museum of Natural History.
