CLASS A. XXC. No. 200186. INTRODUCTION. It is with a great amount of pleasure and satisfaction that the compiler of the Vital Record of Rhode Island presents the Seventeenth volume, which we believe will prove as interesting as have the previous volumes of the series. The Newspapers from which these marriages were taken were the first Democratic papers of the State. The General Assembly have agam in their wisdom and judg- ment extended to this volume their usual courtesy. The usual favors have been extended us in the gathering of information, for which we extend our thanks. Again we feel proud to acknowledge the receipt of kind words and encouragement from our many friends and from the real scholars who can speak from knowledge and experience. Our am- bition is to so continue our conduct as to be still worthy the future continuance of these favors. Please bear in mind that the dates herein given, if preceded by the name of the newspaper, mean that the marriage given is announced in that issue ; otherwise the real date of the said mar- riage is given. It is gratifying in one sense of the term, if not in another, to be able to announce that the six earlier volumes of this series have become so scarce as to be held at a premium. It is pleasant to note the demand that is being made for them. We close by trusting our readers will find their usual pleasure while perusing this, our latest volume.
