Note 589 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

It was reprinted in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll., iii. A new edition, with learned notes and an introduction by the editor, Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, was published in Boston in 1867. [A portion of the manuscript is in the cabinet of the Historical Society, and a fac-simile of a page of it is given herewith, together with the accompanying statement on the manuscript in the hand of the learned Boston antiquary, James Savage, of whom there is a memoir by G. S. Hillard in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xvi. 117. Cf. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., i. 81. The autograph of Lechford is from another source. The Ebeling copy is certainly no longer unique, though the book is rare enough to have been priced recently in London at $75. Cf. Sabin, Dictionary, x. 158; Carter-Brown Catalogue, ii. 506, 545; Brinley Catalogue, no. 322; Menzies, no. 1,202. There is a note-book of Lechford preserved in the American Antiquarian Society’s Cabinet.—Ed.]
