Présentation de l'éditeur

I ntroduction. Examples of Warning Out. I nhabitancy. Land Titles in New England. The information contained in this book was gathered in the preparation of a paper read before the New England Historic-G enealogical Society. The paper was not printed, because it was thought the subject was of sufficient general interest to warrant its presentation in a book for the use of the public at large. This volume has therefore no claim to merit except that it contains material which has not before been brought together, relating to an interesting chapter in the Colonial and early State history of New England. I have attempted to tell the story mainly in the language of the records and statutes of the time. I believe that real history is thus best written. As the eminent historian of New England so well said: The peculiar language of the men whom the historian describes is a substantive part of their peculiar history. It displays the form and pressure of the place and time. The phraseology of the actors is a constant expositor and reminder of the complexion of the thoughts and sentiments that determined the course of affairs. In the records of the town of A lstead,N ew Hampshire, is found this: State of New Hampshire, Cheshire ss. To Saml. Kidder one of the Constables of A lstead, Greeting: In the name of the Government people of said state you are hereby Required forthwith to warn Jacob Benton Hannah his wife, Mabel, Jacob, Reynold, Mary Samuel Benton, their children to Depart out of this Town Immediately no longer make Palfrey, History of New England, Vol. I, p. xvi.
