Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Records of the General Association of Ye Colony of Connecticut: Begun June 20th, 1738, Ending June 19th, 1799

The result is given in the volume now presented to the churches, and only a few words of explanation are called for in this connection.

Any one who has made the attempt will understand the difficulty of transcribing ancient documents, so as to retain the peculiarities of spelling, punctuation, and capitals, with other unique items which give the ﬂavor of antiquity to the text, and pay no defer ence to modern grammatical rules.

As far as possible the editor has endeavored to retain the appear ance of the old record book in this volume.

The Notes, the Index of names, and the Index of topics, are the result of no little care and labor on the part of the editor, and of course are no part of the original Records as found in the Book, but are added to render the volume more available for reference.

While there will be found some errors and defects in the book, it is hoped they are not so numerous or serious as to hinder its usefulness, or provoke needless criticism.

The reader who has the candor to place himself in the circum stances of the actors, will look in vain through these records for marks of such bigotry as some have attributed to our fathers. On the contrary, the circumstances being duly considered, a sincerity and nobility of character mark the doings here recorded, for which all candid readers will be thankful to God, who gave us such an ancestry.

The churches of the State are indebted to a few liberal individu als and churches, for the means with which to place these records within the reach of all who desire to consult them. The money thus freely given may be regarded as a tribute to the memory of the fathers, and a boon to coming generations.
