New England's Memorial (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from New England's Memorial The Map of new-england, prefixed, though very rudely sketched, had some attractions, inducing the editor to procure it to be copied for the Memorial. It was particularly decigned to illustrate Hubbard's Narrative of the Troubles with the Ia dians. Such explanations at this ancient performance as ap peared to be necessary, are given at the close of a note on Philips' war, in the appendix.* The marginal notes in the original work, are retained, in this edition, and are marked with the letter M, subjoined. Some of those notes, before we arrive, in the history, to the year 1616, were, probably, written by Gov. Bradford. To whose manu scripts, down to that date, Secretary Morton acknowledges himself to be principally indebted for his materials. The notes appended to the extracts from Mourt's and Winslow's Journals, in the first part of the Appendix, were copied, with those extracts, from the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. They were written by Rev. James Freeman, D. D., to whom the community are indebted for many valuable illustrations of the history and ge ography of our country. The reader wlli find Antient Vestiges and Historical Extracts, occasionally quoted. By these references, the manuscript collections oi Samuel Davis, Esq. Of Plymouth, are intended, whose thorough knowledge of the antiquities of the Old Colony, and familiar acquaintance with its records, enabled him to afiord frequent and very acceptable aid to the editor in his inquiries. In quotations from the Historical Collections, the first series is intended, unless the second he expressed. The quo tations from Winthrop's Journal are from the first edition, hav ing been written before the publication of Mr Savage's highly improved edition of that interesting work. Before Mr. Savage's publication, the Hartford edition was regarded as a treasure; but now, Ccdite Graii - the editor's quotations are, probably, among the last notices it is to receive. In regard to dates, they are given without alteration. Most of them belong to the seven teenth century, and can. Readily, be converted into New Style, by the addition often days; one day more to be added in the eigh teenth century, in dates before the introduction of the New Style.
