Note 562 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

It is a volume of great value, and brings from $10 to $15 at sales. It is sometimes found lettered on the back as vol. iii. of the History. A third edition of the History was published in Boston in 1795, with poor type and poor paper. [A reprint of the Papers was made by the Prince Society in 1865. For other papers of Hutchinson, see 2 Mass. Hist. Coll., x., and 3 Ibid., i.; cf. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1865, P. 187. A controversy for many years existed between the Historical Society and the State as to the custody of a large mass of Hutchinson’s papers. This can be followed in the Society’s Proceedings, ii. 438; x. 118, 321; xi. 335; xii. 249; xiii. 130, 217; and in Massachusetts Senate Documents, no. 187, of 1870. These papers, mostly printed, are now at the State House.—Ed.]
