NOTE.

In the following pages I have sought to locate and describe a complete file of the Journals of the House of Representatives of the Province of the Massachusetts Bay from the first printed issue in 1715 to the last published as a Provincial document, before the erection of a State government. I have been successful beyond my early expectations, and for the first time the student will find available a file of these important records. The rarity of the earlier issues led me to contemplate a reprint of a part of the series; but a transfer to another field of activity compelled the abandonment of the plan. The Journals for 1715 were alone reprinted, and in this form are already difficult to obtain.

My thanks are due to the Boston Public, the Boston Athenæum, the Harvard University, and the Massachusetts State Libraries; to the Lenox (New York Public) Library, to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and to the Massachusetts Historical Society, for courtesies received. Mr. Henry H. Edes and Mr. Albert Matthews have kindly read the proofs and aided in the correctness of the descriptions. The list cannot claim to be final, but will prove of convenience to those interested in these publications. An edition of one hundred copies of this Bibliography was printed in 1905 from advance sheets.
