I do not Write it with a design of throwing it presently into the Press, but only to preserve the Memory of such Memorable things, the forgetting whereof would neither be_ pleasing _to God, nor useful to Men; as also to give you, with some others of peculiar and obliging Friends, a sight of some_ Curiosities, _and I hope this Apology will serve to Excuse me, if I mention, as perhaps I may, when I come to a tenth Paragraph in my Writing, some things which I would have omitted in a farther Publication._ Cotton Mather. FOOTNOTES: [19] This singular "Story" does not appear to have been published by its Author, nor have I any other History of it than is found in these Pages. Nor do I find anything of a Family of the Name of Rule. Neither Farmer nor Savage have it in their genealogical Works. Yet there was a Family living for some Time at the North End of the Name of _Rule_. They may not have been long resident. See Note 33.
