In virtiK^ of tho tollowinir Resolve of the Leirislature, I have appointed Dr. A'atiiaxif.l 1>. Siil-i;tm;if, of Boston, to prepare for the press the Eecords of the Colony of New Plymouth, and superin- tend the printing of the same to their eompletion, in such mannerand form as he may consider most apjjropriate for the luidertaking. These volumes, possessing uncommon interest, as containing the earliest extant records of the oldest Englisli colony in New Eirglaml, andfast going to decay liy constant use and the ordinary effecl.s of time, will, in their reproduced form, be preserved, undoubtedly, beyond any of the probable contingencies which usually occur to cause the loss or destruc- tion of ancient manuscripts. The very careful manner in which the .Alassacliusetts Records have been edited and conducted through the press hy Dr. Shurtleft'. affords sutficient assurance of the creditable performance ofthe new ti-ust thus so unreservedly committed to him.
