We here place before the reader the fifteenth volume of the Vital Record of Rhode Island, fully believing that it will prove as interesting as any of the previous volumes of the series. In this volume we have finished the Marriages of the Gazette and Kave given the Deaths of the Chronicle. The same plan we have followed in the past will be continued in the future, with such im- provement as age and experience shall determine. The General Assembly have again in their judgment and wis- dom extended to us in this volume their usual courtesy. The officers in charge ot the newspapers have been, as usual, obliging, giving us all needed assistance. We hereby extend our thanks for these favors and courtesies and also extend them to those who have said a good word for the work. Please bear in mind that the dates given herein, if preceded by word Gazette or Chronicle, means that the Marriage or Death appeared in that number of the newspaper, otherwise the real date of the event is given. We close by trusting that the reader will find pleasure as well as instruction in his perusal of this volume and will feel compen- sated for his time spent in our company. CONTKNTS. MAR-BIAOES. to Z.
