NOTE

Amon the Connecticut Achives are files of the General Assembly up to 1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the History of Hadley, Massachusetts, selected and arranged documents from these files up to the year 1790 in one hundred and twenty-two volumes. The documents from 1790 through 1820 were transferred from the office of the Secretary of State when the new State Library and Supreme Court building was occupied.

It is principally from the last mentioned documents that the material on Miscellaneous, econd Series, was taken, with the addition of a few documents of the earlier period omitted by Mr. Judd from the First Series. The dates in the Second Series are scattered, from 1688 on the commission (copy) to Sir Edmond Andros as governor of Massachusetts Bay, New Ply- mouth, New Hampshire, Maine and Narragansett or King' s Pro- vince; the latest date is May 1820 on the report of the commit'tee on that part of the governor' s message which relates to the declaration of te Commonwealth of Virginia concerning slavery. There are two hundred and twenty-nine documents in the Second Series of Miscellaneous Papers which have been arranged in two volumes, as follows: Vol. i: Sickness; Slavery, I?S0-1820. Vol.2: Washington Memorial; Maps; Lotteries; Poor, etc. The table of contents not only furnishes a convenient calendar of legislation on Miscellaneous matters for the period covered, but gives a digest of the subject stutter.

The work on the arrangement of manuscripts for these volumes and on the Index was done by 3essie A. Parsons.
