Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 4: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts The documents in this volume have been gathered by me during many years, from the archives of Massachusetts, the office of the Public Records in London, and the Bureau of Marine and Colonies in Paris. They are not all of equal importance, and several might perhaps have been left unprinted without loss to the general student of Maine history; but when I reflected how important even trivial allusions to a subject, perhaps but the mere record of obscure names, frequently become to the special gleaner in the historic field, I did not feel willing to incur the responsibility of discarding from my collection those documents which did not seem to me to possess an interest of a marked character. My intention was, at the outset, to follow a strictly chronological method of arrangement; but some documents of an earlier date than others which had already been printed, having come into my hands while the work was in progress, I was obliged to somewhat depart from the order with which the work was begun. I regret that it was impossible to correct my proof by the original documents, but I trust that important errors have been avoided; certainly those documents from the Massachusetts archives, which my venerable friend David Pulsifer, of Boston, has copied for me with a painstaking fidelity peculiar to the born antiquarian, should be as free from error as any such work performed by fallible man.
