courtesies and privileges extended to me during my research 
I am under obligation to Mr. Clarence S. Brigham of the 
American Antiquarian Society Library, Dr. Louis N. Wilson 
of the Clark University Library, Mr. W. B. Briggs of the Har- 
vard University Library, and Mr. Robert K. Shaw of the Wor- 
cester Free Public Library. Finally, I wish to acknowledge 
the great debt which I owe to my wife who, by doing much of 
the wearisome, mechanical work which is necessary in a task 
of this kind, gave me greater freedom for research itself.
