Book Description
Excerpt from Ancient Town Records, Vol. 2: New Haven Town Records, 1662-1684 The first volume of the Society's series of Ancient Town Records, containing the Records of the Town of New Haven from February, 1649/50, to July, 1662, was published in 1917; and the identical plan of the present volume, continuing the same matter to March, 1683/4, relieves the Committee of Publication and the Editor of the necessity of any further explanations. The two volumes of New Haven Records issued by the State of Connecticut in 1857-58 are referred to in notes to the following pages as volumes 1 and 2, and the initial volume of the present series as volume 3. It may be noted that James Bishop, after serving with remarkable efficiency as Secretary and Recorder of the Town from August, 1662, until his resignation in April, 1674, was then succeeded by John Nash, an older man, of less education, so that the last third of this volume is printed from a text much inferior in legibility and spelling to the earlier portion.

Book Description
The dramatic story of the rise and collapse of Europe's first great urban experiment The growth of cities around the world in the last two centuries is the greatest episode in our urban history, but it is not the first. Three thousand years ago most of the Mediterranean basin was a world of villages; a world without money or writing, without temples for the gods or palaces for the mighty. Over the centuries that followed, however, cities appeared in many places around the Inland Sea, built by Greeks and Romans, and also by Etruscans and Phoenicians, Tartessians and Lycians, and many others. Most were tiny by modern standards, but they were the building blocks of all the states and empires of antiquity. The greatest--Athens and Corinth, Syracuse and Marseilles, Alexandria and Ephesus, Persepolis and Carthage, Rome and Byzantium--became the powerhouses of successive ancient societies, not just political centers but also the places where ancient art and literatures were created and accumulated. And then, half way through the first millennium, most withered away, leaving behind ruins that have fascinated so many who came after. Based on the most recent historical and archaeological evidence, The Life and Death of Ancient Cities provides a sweeping narrative of one of the world's first great urban experiments, from Bronze Age origins to the demise of cities in late antiquity. Greg Woolf chronicles the history of the ancient Mediterranean city, against the background of wider patterns of human evolution, and of the unforgiving environment in which they were built. Richly illustrated, the book vividly brings to life the abandoned remains of our ancient urban ancestors and serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of even the mightiest of cities.
