PROCEEDINGS FOR 1901 XIX 
papers of Edward Winslow, the Loyalist—afterwards judge of the 
Superior Court, and at one time administrator of the Government in 
this Province. 
The volume will be the most valuable collection of private papers 
yet published in'Canada. Including a good index and foot notes, it 
will fill about 750 pages of the size of the Transactions of the Royal 
Society, and the paper being thicker, will make a volume about the 
size of the last issue (Vol. 5, Second Series). The number of copies 
printed will be 500. 
There is a short preface and an introduction of some 10 pages, 
giving a short sketch of the Winslow family in America. Then the 
papers and letters follow in chronological order—beginning with a 
letter of Jonathan Sewell to Edward Winslow, of January 10th, 1776. 
The correspondence during the revolution fills 65 pages, and is very 
valuable from the Loyalist standpoint. Winslow as general muster- 
master of the British American regiments, was brought into intimate 
contact with those corps, and we learn much about the circumstances 
under which they were organized. Their character, services, and sub- 
sequent settlement in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. 
The correspondence, ete., for the years 1783, 1784, is voluminous, 
occupying about 185 pages, and throwing light on all the proceedings 
connected with the division of the old province of Nova Scotia. 
Thenceforth we have a vast amount of information respecting the 
province of New Brunswick, both politically and socially, and some 
side lights on the history of the adjoining provinces. 
Among those whose names appear among Winslow’s correspond- 
ence are the following :—I italicize those with whom the corres- 
pondence was voluminous:—Jonathan Sewell, Governor Montfort 
Browne, Colonel Innes, Ward Chipman, Sir John Wentworth, Lord
