Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters and Papers of Cadwallader Colden, Vol. 5: 1755-1760 The three volumes now issued complete the series of Cadwallader Colden Papers. They form the Collections of The N ew-york Historical Society for the years 1921, 1922 and 1923, being volumes 54, 55 and 56 of The John Watts de Peyster Publication Fund. Volume V covers the period 1755-1760; Volume VI, 1761-1764; Volume VII, 1765-1775. In the last volume are two appendices, the first being earlier letters, 1729-1752, gathered since the publication of the volumes covering this period, from the Alexander and the Kempe papers in the possession of the Society. The second appendix contains a calendar of the remaining Colden material in the Society's library, Which for the most part is of a scientific and philosophical nature and therefore not to be published. For the period 1760 to 1775 the Colden Letter-books (in the Collections of the Society for 1876 and 1877) should be read in connection With the present volumes. These volumes have been proof-read and indexed by Miss Dorothy C. Barck of the Library staff. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
