Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the Court of Assistants, Vol. 3: Of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, 1630-1692 This volume is intended to complete the publication of the Records of the Courts held by the Governor and Assistants for the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay from 1630 to 1692. In the preface of Volume II. of these Records, known as the Records of the Court of Assistants, Mr. John Noble, Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court, stated that, although he intended originally to include what is now published in this volume as Part Three of Volume II., he found that it contained such an amount of matter as to make a third volume necessary and it is accordingly now being issued as Volume III. When Mr. Noble resigned from office on June 15, 1908, because of ill-health, most of the work of collecting and preparing the material for this volume had been done by him, with the assistance of Mr. William P. Upham, both now deceased. No funds, however, were available for completing and publishing it. Since then numerous requests were made for the necessary appropriation, but without success. Finally, in the year 1925, largely through the efforts of the late Ex-Mayor Nathan Matthews, who for a long time had manifested great interest in the project, the attention of Hon. James M. Curley, Mayor of the City of Boston, was obtained and, at last, after many years of delay, through his good offices, the City Council of the City of Boston, acting as County Commissioners for the County of Suffolk, appropriated the funds needed to meet the expenses of completing and publishing these records in book form.
