Note 596 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

Copies of Winslow’s book are very rare, and are worth probably one hundred dollars or more, being rarely seen in the market. [There are copies in the Carter-Brown Library (Catalogue, ii. 600, with fac-simile of title), and in Mr. Deane’s collection. The second edition appears in the Brinley Catalogue, no. 691.—Ed.] Gorton’s book, also rare, has been reprinted by Judge Staples, with learned notes, in the Rhode Island Historical Society’s Collections, vol. ii. [and is also in Force’s Tracts, vol. iv. There are copies in the Prince, Charles Deane, Carter-Brown (Catalogue, ii. 589, with a long note), and Harvard College libraries. Cf. also Sabin’s Dictionary, vii. 352, and Brinley Catalogue, no. 578.—Ed.] While writing this note there has come to my hand no. 17 of Mr. S. S. Rider’s Rhode Island Historical Tracts, containing “A Defence of Samuel Gorton and the Settlers of Shawomet,” by George A. Brayton. See other authorities noted in the Memorial History of Boston, i. 171, and in Bartlett’s Bibliography of Rhode Island.
