Note 465 — Chapter VIII · THE GROWTH OF A FRONTIER
Reading edition
Massachusetts Records, vol. I, pp. 170 f. Cf. W. DeL. Love, The Colonial History of Hartford (Hartford, 1914), pp. 70 ff. The earliest records of the three Connecticut towns are lost, but by using those of Springfield, Mr. Love has thrown much light upon the disputed points as to the origin of the Connecticut “constitution.”
