History of the State of Rhode Island
and Providence Plantations,
1636-1790.
By SAMUEL GREENE ARNOLD.
New Edition. 2 vols. Octavo. 574 and 600 pp. $7.50, net.
-------
Governor Arnold’s History of Rhode Island, based upon a careful study of
documents in the British State Paper Office and in the Rhode Island
State Archives, supplemented by investigations at Paris and The Hague,
has from its publication been the authoritative history of the State.
Genealogical students will find in these volumes the names of over
fifteen hundred persons prominent in Rhode Island affairs. This work is
of much more than local interest, as the experiment of religious liberty
here tried gives to this history an importance far beyond the narrow
limits of the State.

“One of the best State histories ever written is S. G. Arnold’s History
of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.”—JOHN FISKE.
“The best history of Rhode Island is that of Arnold.”—PROF. GEORGE P.
FISHER, Yale University.
“Mr. Samuel Greene Arnold in his history of Rhode Island has brought
together all the extant materials. He brings out more clearly than any
previous writer the distinct threads of the previous settlements.”—PROF.
JOHN A. DOYLE, Oxford.
“A work prepared after long and careful research. Probably no student
has ever made himself more familiar with the history of Rhode Island
than did Arnold. This work abounds, therefore, in valuable
information.”—PRES. CHARLES KENDALL ADAMS, Cornell University.
