Book Description
Excerpt from The History of New England, Vol. 1: From 1630 to 1649 Early in the spring of 1816 was discovered, in the tower of the Old South Church in Boston, the third volume of the History of New England, in the original Ms. of the author, John Winthrop, first governour of the Massachusetts Bay. When the precious book was presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society, at their next meeting, 25 April, the difficulty of transcribing it for the press seemed to appal several of the most competent members, whose engagement in more important duties afforded also a sufficient excuse for leaving such labour to be undertaken by any one, at any time, who could devote to it many weeks of leisure. The task appeared inviting to me. On the same evening the Ms. was taken, and the study of its chirography was begun, the next day, by the aid of one of the former Mss. collated with the printed volumes, usually called Winthrop's Journal. Of all the three Mss. and of the published Journal, a sufficient account may be seen in 2 Hist. Coll. Iv. 200. Before the collation of the former Ms. with the volume printed in 1790 had proceeded through many pages, the discovery of numerous important errours seemed to make a new edition of the earlier part of the History veiy desirable; and when a transcript Of the new-found volume was completed, my resolution was fixed, that it should not be printed without a perfect revision of the Journal.

Book Description
Excerpt from Warning Out in New England The information contained in this book was gathered in the preparation of a paper read before the New England Historic-Genealogical Society. The paper was not printed, because it was thought the subject was of sufficient general interest to warrant its presentation in a book for the use of the public at large. This volume has therefore no claim to merit except that it contains material which has not before been brought together, relating to an interesting chapter in the Colonial and early State history of New England. I have attempted to tell the story mainly in the language of the records and statutes of the time. I believe that real history is thus best written. As the eminent historian of New England so well said: - The peculiar language of the men whom the historian describes is a substantive part of their peculiar history. It displays the form and pressure of the place and time. The phraseology of the actors is a constant expositor and reminder of the complexion of the thoughts and sentiments that determined the course of affairs.

Excerpt from A Rough List of a Collection of Transcripts Relating to the History of New England: 1630-1776 This rough list is printed in the hope that it may be of use to a few friends who are interested in the subjects herein treated. Covering a wide range of happenings and nearly one-hundred and fifty years of time it gives many unlooked for hints and clews leading to a better under standing oi our history. The fifty-six volumes covered by this list were gathered together with various objects in view, hence the apparent lack of set purpose in their selection. Such as they are, they are now at the service of those who receive this book from me. Sooner or later they will be given to a library where they can be more freely used by a wider circle of students.

Book Description
Excerpt from Winthrop's Journal, Vol. 2: "History of New England," 1630-1649 This year there came over great store of provisions, both out of England and Ireland, and but few passengers, (and those brought very little money, ) which was occasioned by the store of money and quick markets, which the merchants found here the two or three years before, so as now all our money was drained from us, and cattle and all commodities grew very cheap, which enforced us at the next general court, in the 8th month, to make an order, that corn should pass in payments of new debts; Indian at 43. The bushel; rye at 5s., and wheat at 6s.; and that, upon all executions for former debts, the credi tor might take what goods he pleased, (or, if he had no goods, then his lands, ) to be appraised by three men, one chosen by the creditor, one by the debtor, and the third by the marshal. One Of the ships, which came this summer, struck upon a whale with a full gale, which put the ship a stays; the whale struck the ship on her bow, with her tail a little above water, and brake the planks and six timbers and a beam, and staved two hogsheads of vinegar.
