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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth analysis of "warning out" in the earliest colonial history of New England. Warning out was a legal practice used to expel individuals from towns. It was used in conjunction with poor laws and land allotment practices to manage town growth. The practice was based on the idea that the town was responsible for the well-being of its inhabitants and that it had the authority to determine who could reside within its borders. The author shows how this practice of warning out evolved from its early days in the Massachusetts Bay Colony to its widespread use throughout New England. The book argues that this practice played a central role in shaping the political and social development of colonial New England.
