Excerpt from Norman Constables in America, Vol. 8: Read Before the New England Historic, Genealogical Society, February 1, 1882

Along'this line of march, over old roads into new fields, American Institutional History will one day advance. It is the purpose of a little company of graduate students at the Johns Hopkins University fb reconnoitre the ground.1 They are now studying upon cooper ative and, to some extent, upon representative principles, the local institutions of their respective states or sections of country. A few students represent Maryland; others Virginia, the Carolinas, Ken tucky, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. One man has entered the field of Ohio; others, that of Michigan and the Northwest, where English institutions were planted upon French soil. A student from Canada will investigate the Anglo French institutions of his Province. The writer of this monograph is studying the origin of the town institutions of New England, and presents the following research upon Constables as a contribution to the main subject.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Norman Constables in America, Vol. 8: Read Before the New England Historic, Genealogical Society, February 1, 1882

In the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society there is a small black letter volume, bearing the imprint of London, 1614, and entitled "The Duties of Constables, Borsholders, Tithingmen, and such other lowe and lay Ministers of the Peace - by William Lambard of Lincolnes Inne, Gent." By the same author and in the same library there is another work imprinted in London, 1596, and entitled "A Perambulation of Kent: Conteining the Description, Hysterics and Customes of that Shyre," written originally in the year 1570, and first published in 1576. The latter work bears upon the reverse of the fly-leaf the name of Adam Winthrop, and upon the reverse of the title-page a Latin ode by Winthrop in praise of Lambard. Scattered through the work are many annotations and curious scraps of writing in Winthrop's hand. This very book was brought to America by the first governor of Massachusetts, who was well read in the laws of England, like his father and like his scholarly descendant, the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, who presented the above volume to the Historical Society of which for many years he has been the honored president.
