FIFTH SERIES. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY. M.DCCC.LXXXII. 4 UNIVERSITY PRESS: JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE. SECOND EDITION. 5 PREFATORY NOTE This volume, the third of the series of the SEWALL PAPERS, completes the publication from the manuscript diary of Judge Sewall, in the Cabinet of the Society. The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter. It is intended that the contents of this volume, also, shall be transcribed; but it has not as yet been decided whether the whole of its contents, which would fill at least two volumes of our series, shall be published, or only such a selection of its more important papers as might be gathered into one volume. 6 DIARY OF SAMUEL SEWALL. [Judge Sewall having gone from home to hold court, the following ex- tracts, enclosed between asterisks, are from entries in the small volume which he carried with him, labelled "Magunkaquog," See Vol. II., p. 425.] * May 10. 1714.

  • POLICY of MAINE, 1620-1820 by MARGARET FOWLES WILDE a THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree
    HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 By MARGARET FOWLES WILDE % A., University of Maine, 1932 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History and Government) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono May, 1940 ABSTRACT HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 There have been many accounts of individual settlements in Maine and a few histories of the State, but no one has ever attempted a history of its land policy or analyzed the effect that such a policy or lack of policy might have had on the development of the State of Maine. Maine was one of the earliest sections of the Atlantic Coast 'to be explored but one of the slowest in development. The latter may have been due to a number of factors but undoubtedly the lack of a definite, well developed land policy had much to do with the slow progress of settlement and development of this area. The years 1602 to 1620 marked the beginnings of explorations along the Maine Coast principally by the English and French. In 1603, Henry IV of France granted all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-six degrees north latitude to Pierre de Gast Sieure de Monts. This territory was called Acadia. Soon after, in 1606 King James I of England granted all the lands between the thirty-fourth and forty-fifth degrees north latitude to an association of noblemen of London and Plymouth. Later, King James I of England granted all the lands from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degrees of north latitude to a company called ’’Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon; for planting, ruling, and governing New England in America.” This company functioned from 1620-1635.

The Title and Table of Contents are self-explanatory. Helpful to the researcher using the Handbook are the explanatory notes and the listing of abbreviations and symbols. A bibliography cites sources for detailed study. As stated in the first section, Jurisdictions, "the development of government in Maine can be more easily understood by considering the area as three separate geographical units: from St. Croix River to St. Georges River - Acadia; from St. Georges River to Kennebec River - Province of Maine." The second section, Early plantations and Towns, is an "incomplete list ... submitted as a basis for further research." Editorial work in preparing the manuscript for publication was provided by Miss Susan o. Ostroff of the Maine State Archives staff who was responsible for critically reviewing the text and footnotes and furnishing statutory citations to legislative references which generally omitted them in the original manuscript.

Agathe Campbell's determined crusade in the 1730's to secure compensa­ tion from the British government for the Nova Scotia lands, which she claimed as a part of her La Tour inheritance, is reasonably well known.1 Not so well known are the Nova Scotian activities of two of the children of her first mar­ riage to Lieutenant Edward Bradstreet, John and Simon Bradstreet.2 John, in particular, was to emerge as a key figure in the 1745 Louisbourg cam­ paign and then went on to an active career in the British army which, in 1772, earned him the rank of major general.
