His offloial po sition, formerly Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, and his researches in ail sorts of historical repositories abroad, have bronght before him all the original docu ments whitfti are the primary materials of history. His fidelity, accuracy, thoroughness, and candor in invest!- gotten, the moeness of his learning and the breadth of his general culture, are qualities of the highest service in hts undertaking. There is a freshness in the flow of his narrative, a terse sagacity in his cursory expressions of opinion, and a jadlcial summing up on points dis puted or perplexed, whioh engage alike the liveliest in terest and the fullest confidence of his readers.**—[Bos ton Bally Advertiser. “This is a noble theme; and it is fortunate that its treatment-baa fallen into the hands of a soholar 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 he is pursuing his labors,; of his untiring pains to attain to that basis merit in a historian—without which a superstructure will be valueless—accuracy; and of his earnest desire to get at the fountain of New England institutions and to traoa the springs of its progress. He is doing this ton amort; and hence the public will have no piece of job work, but each a production as liborand time and the closest reflection only can produce.’’— [Boßton Post.
