Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions and Collections of the American Antiquarian Society, Vol. 3 It was also proposed that the text should be accompanied with explanatory and illustrative notes, embracing concise references to contemporary events affecting or affected by the transactions recorded, and to the private history of persons whoso names were found prominently connected with public affairs. The Company of Massachusetts Bay, to which the Colonial Government succeeded by gradations so delicate as to be nearly imperceptible, may be said, with almost literal truth, to have been without a history. The circumstances attending its origin and primitive organization were but imperfectly known, and no list of its members had been transmitted. Yet, however inadequate the means for that purpose, some account of the rise of the Corporation, and of the personal standing and character of the men who conceived and sustained the enterprise for which it was formed, was regarded as an indispensable antecedent to the register of its acts and operations. An effort was therefore made to comprehend, in an introductory narrative, such facts as time and opportunity permitted to be gathered respecting´ the commencement of the Company, the individuals who composed it, and the aims and objects of the association. After so much of the matter as is contained herewith had been printed, and before the residue was prepared for the press, the authorities of the State very wisely determined to take upon themselves the publication of all the more ancient volumes of Legislative Records; covering, of course, the comparatively limited portion included in the purpose of the Antiquarian Society. Not unwilling to be relieved from an expensive and laborious duty, the Society suffered its plan to terminate with the period of the transfer of the charter and government to New England, - a point of time, and stage of progress, convenient for that conclusion.
