A Quarterly publication devoted to the History, Genealogy, 



and Biography of the State of Rhode Island 



and Providence Plantations. 



Terms, $2.00 per annum, in advance. 



THIS Publication is now in its sixth year, having gained in public favor since 

 its commencement. It is invaluable to the Historian and Genealogist, cov- 

 ering a field not occupied by ordinary periodical literature, and is in every 

 way an admirable table companion for the scholar and for all persons of literary and 

 antiquarian tastes. It has met with general approval and already forms a storehouse 

 of material not accessible in any other form. 



Abstracts from the Jamestown, R. I., records and also from the records of Trin- 

 ity Church and the Society ol Friends, of Newport, R. I., were commenced in the 

 April number, 1885. 



In the July number (No. 1, Vol. 6, 1885), was commenced a very interesting 

 diary kept by Lieut. John Trevett from 1774 to 1782. The same number contained 

 the will of Gov. Benedict Arnold of Newport, made in 1678, in, which he mentions 

 his "Stone-built Wind Mill.'* 



The October number contains an interesting paper on the Jewish Cemetery at 

 Newport, the will of Gov. Nicholas Easton and many historical and genealogical 

 notes of interest. 



In the January number (1886), we hope to commence the republication of 

 " Bull's Memoirs of Rhode Island," 1638— 1783, with additional notes.
