EFORE undertaking the prefent work I had no experience as an editor. It is unneceffary for me to fay, therefore, that, were I now to undertake it, I fliould purfue a fomewhat different courfe from that which I have purfued. The New Englifli Canaan is, in many refpects, a lingular book. One of its moft fingular features is the extent of ground it covers. Not only is it full of obfcure references to incidents in early New England hiftory, but it deals directly with the aborigines, the trees, animals, fifh, birds and geology of the region; befides having conftant incidental allufions to literature, - both claffic and of the author's time, - to geography, and to then current events. No one perfon can poffefs the knowledge neceffary to thoroughly cover fo large a field. To edit properly he muft have recourfe to fpecialifts.

Until recent facsimile printings without notes, "New English Canaan" (originally published in 1637) has been reprinted only twice, one in Peter Force's "Tracts" (1836) and in 1883 by the Massachusetts Historical Society. This book represents the first edition created from and textually-collated with all known original copies in the world; it also constitutes the first full-length biography of Thomas Morton of "Merrymount" (1576-1647?).
