and INCREASE MATHER
Increase Mather, the youngest son of the Reverend Richard Nather of Dorchester, and the father of Cotton Hather, has been described as the “foremost American Puritan” of his generation... Teacher of the Second Church of Boston for more than fifty years, President of Harvard
College from 1685 to 1701, agent for Massachusetts Bay in England to request the return of the Charter, and the author of approximately 175 books, pamphlets, prefaces and printed sermons, Mather was intimately involved in political and religious affairs in Boston during the last four decades of the seventeenth century.
The diaries, correspondence, documents, writings, and sermons in this edition represent the largest single extant collection of Increase Mather manuscripts. Most of the diary volumes and all of the manuscript sermons and sermon notes described herein are found in the Mather Family Papers at the American Antiquarian Society; material from the Increase Nather Papers and other collections of the Massachusetts His torical Society augments the holdings of the Antiquarian Society. Increase Macher’s personal papers indicate the breadth of his wide— ranging interests. While his diary entries are concerned, in large part, with devotional matters, the manuscripts of his writings and corres pondence include as topics: education, history, politics, and science.
Many of Mather’s published writings deal with theological matters, but he wrote important historical and scientific works including A Brief
History of the War with the Indiana ..., a contemporary account of King
Philip’s War, and An Essay for the Recording of Illustrious Providences .•-,

—9— PROVENANCE
The bulk of the ilather Family Papers at the American Antiquarian Society, of which the Increase Mather Papers form one of five major sub divisions, were purchased from Hannah Mather Cracker (1752—1829), the great granddaughter of Increase Mather, by Isaiah Thomas and donated to the Antiquarian Society by Thomas in 1814. Other items in the Mather Family Papers at the Antiquarian Society, including items in the Increase Mather Papers, were the gifts of Thomas Walcut, 1834; Charles Chauncy Clark, 1835; the estate of Thaddeus Mason Harris, 1937; George Nather Randle, 1934; and Michael G. Hall, 1978.
The Increase Hather Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society consist of gifts of individual items, including those from Elizabeth
Belknap, 1858, Sarah Louisa Byles, 1881, and MatC B. Jones, 1937, and purchases by the Society.
For the present edition, Increase Mather materials from other cal— lections at the Historical Society have been inserted chronologically, by type, to form a complete file of all Increase Mather manuscripts held by the Society. Collections from which Increase ilather manuscripts have been drawn include: the papers of Jeremy Belknap, Mellen Chamberlain, Benjamin Colman, and John Davis; the Miscellaneous Bound Manuscripts.
Collection; the papers of James Otis, Sr. and Thomas Prince; the Saltonstall
Family Papers; and the Alexander C. Washburn Autograph Collection.
-10- EDITORIAL PROCEDURE
The editorial work in preparing the Increase Mather Papers for microfilrning involved organizing material from several different manu script collections at one institution, the Massachusetts Historical Society,, and interfiling the manuscripts with a larger, existing col lection at another institution, the American Antiquarian Society. The corrposite Increase Macher Papers then were organized into Bix major sub— divisions, by type of material, divided into reel—length segments, and filmed.
William I. Joyce and Kathleen A. Major of the American Antiquarian Society were responsible for the physical arrangement of all the manuscripts and for the description of items in the collection of the Antiquarian So ciety. The Increase Mather manuscripts of both Societies were filmed by the Readex Microprint Corporation. Editorial apparatus has been kept to a minimum; the description of the collection that, follows consists, in almost every instance, of in formation taken from existing cataloging of Increase Mather manuscript items or targets produced for the microfilm.
