Note 677 — Chapter IX · (continued 3)

[There is no considerable Connecticut bibliography of local history; and F. B. Perkins’s Check-List of American Local History must be chiefly depended on; but the Brinley Catalogue, nos. 2,001-2,340, is very rich in this department. So also is Sabin’s Dictionary, iv. 395, etc., for official and anonymous publications. There are various miscellaneous references in Poole’s Index, p. 292. E. H. Gillett has a long paper on “Civil Liberty in Connecticut” in the Historical Magazine, July, 1868. Mr. R. R. Hinman’s Early Puritan Settlers of Connecticut was first issued in 1846-48 (366 pages), and reissued (884 pages) in 1852-56. Cf. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1870, p. 84. Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, however, is the chief source of genealogical information for the earliest comers.—Ed.]
