By John Gorhau Palvrby, LL. D.

(t Dr. Palfrey has written the History of New England
as it haß never "been written before. HU official po
sition, formerly Secretary of the State of Massachnsette,
and his researches in all soits of historical repositories
abroad, have brought before him all the original docu
ments which are the primary materials of history. His
fidelity, accuracy, thoroughness, and candor in investi
gation, the niceness of his learning and the breadth of
his general culture, are qualities of the highest service
in his undertaking. There is a freshness in the flow of
his narrative, a terse sagacity in his cursory expressions
of opinion, and a judicial summing up on points dis
puted or perplexed; which engage alike the liveliest In
terest and the fullest confidence of his readers.”—[Bos
ton Daily Advertiser.
“ This is a noble theme j and it is fortunate that its
treatment has fallen into the hands of a scholar of pro
found learning, elegant culture, and varied experience
We have had an opportunity to know something
of the extent and minuteness of Dr. Palfrey’s inquiries;
of the conscientious fidelity with which ho la pursuing
hie labors| of his untiring pains to attain to that basis
merit in a historian—without whioh a superstructure
will be valueless—accuracy j and of his earnest desire to
get at tho fountain of New England institutions and to
trace the springs of its progreß«. He is doing this epn
amors; and hence the publio will have no piece of job
work, but such a production as labor and time and the
closost reflection only can produce.”—[Boston Post.
