Hutchinson’s second volume of the History of Massachusetts, which, it
is well known, is among the Hutchinson papers in the State archives in Boston. I
had never before seen the manuscript, and did not readily find the passage of
which I was in search. The first portion of the manuscript seemed to be missing,
and its place was supplied by matter which belonged to the Appendix. My first
inpression [sic] was that the missing sheets were those which
Gov. Hutchinson did not recover after the stamp-act riot of 1765. Finding the
matter of the Appendix out of place, suggested that the volume might have been
carelessly arranged for binding. On collating the manuscript the early portion
was found in another part of the volume. This was the copy used by the printers. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
