Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Annals of Newington: Comprising the First Records of the Newington Ecclesiastical Society, and of the Congregational Church Connected Therewith; With Documents and Papers Relating to the Early History of the Parish The original manuscripts and records, which are transcribed and presented in the following pages, are written in the ancient style of writing and spelling, which renders them almost, if not quite, illegible to all eyes unused to read them. They are also fast perishing by reason of age and decay. It is fit that they should live, and in an accessible form yield up any treasures of historical and genealogical interest that they may contain. It is hoped that they may prove valuable for reference to individuals and families, and as a contribution towards a history of Newington. The aim has been to let them, so far as possible, tell in their own quaint language the story of the past, connecting and explaining them with only needed words of comment. The preservation of the records of a society, church, or any public body is a matter of such common concernment, that it might very fittingly be undertaken by the authority and at the expense of such body. In this case, however, the interest felt in the subject by three persons has dictated the present publication. Martin Robbins, Esq., and Henry M. Robbins, Esq., of Newington, have furnished the means for carrying the work through the press, while ray part has been to select, transcribe, and arrange the materials. Most of the documents quoted have been copied from the originals in the state archives now in the office of Mr. Charles J. Hoadly, the shite librarian, who has very kindly given me his assistance in consulting them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
