BOOK NOTICES
The Records of the Town of Hanover, New Hampshire, 1761-1818. The
records of the town meetings, and of the selectmen, comprising all of
the first volume of records and being Volume I of the printed records
of the town. Printed by vote of the town under the direction of Herbert
Darling Foster, George Mendal Bridgman, Sidney Bradshaw Fay. Hanover,
New Hampshire, 1905. Octavo, pp. VI+336.
The committee of learned men appointed by the selectmen of Hanover
to print the early records of that town apparently have endeavored
to reproduce faithfully the original spelling, capitalization and
punctuation. Both copy and proofs have been compared with the records
word for word, and when necessary letter by letter. The moderate sum
of money used in preserving and making easily accessible to students
these early annals has been well spent. The committee having this
volume in charge suggests that the proprietors’ records (covering the
years 1761 to 1807 inclusive) and the first volume of vital statistics
(covering the years 1762 to 1846) ought also to be printed. All persons
interested in the history of Hanover ought to use their influence
towards carrying out this wise suggestion at once and having it done
under the direction of the same committee.
The contents of the book and the space of time covered are accurately
indicated by the title, but one very important feature of the work, not
there mentioned, is the town clerk’s affidavit that the printed book is
a true and correct copy of the original. The original paging is marked
in brackets. The book is well indexed and substantially bound.
