Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 15 HE publication of the documents in this volume gives T an idea of the important part sustained by the people of Maine in the War of the Revolution, and of the sacrifices made by them in what must have appeared to the world as an almost hopeless struggle. It also places in enduring form the names of men worthy of remembrance. I hope to be able to complete the publication of documents relating to the Revolutionary period within the next two years.

Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 17 O again resume the publication of the Documentary History of Maine, though a somewhat exacting task de manding time which I cannot well spare, is a great satisfaction, as I can see a prospect of being able to finish the work to which I set my hand many years ago.

Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 6 N looking over the proofs of this volume, as it is about to be published, it strikes me as not impossible that some may question the wisdom of printing the numerous petitions relative to land grants which it contains, because of the limited number of persons to whom they appeal. I wish to say in reply, should such a question arise, that I have found such material of the greatest value to persons in locating residence and determining dates in family history. I have had cases myself where one of these documents would have been worth much more to me than the price of this volume, hence I have printed them in the belief that among the limited number of early Maine documents in existence they may not prove valueless. The next volume, however, will probably comprise mate rial Of more general interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 12 HE present volume (number twelve of the Document ary Series) is the seventh volume of the manuscript documents which I have collected from American and Euro pean archives. My design has been to continue the publica tion Of these documents to the time of the separation of the State from Massachusetts; but it is doubtful if I shall be able to do so. Should I not complete the task which I have desired to accomplish, it is my hope that someone may think it worthy of the labor required to finish it.

Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 2: Containing a Discourse on Western Planting, Written in the Year 1584 The Standing Committee of the Maine Historical Society are happy, after so long delay, to offer to its members and friends this second volume of the series of "Documentary History," under the generous auspices of the State. Though an annual volume was contemplated by the resolve of the Legislature, it soon became apparent that so frequent an issue could not be kept up with credit to the State or the Society. The long interval since the first volume appeared, however, has been occasioned not only by the labor necessarily connected with the work in hand, but mainly by the disastrous fire which destroyed the library of Dr. Woods and several rare volumes besides essential to the prosecution of his work as editor, as also what he had prepared as an Introduction to the Discourse of Hakluyt which was waiting only for his final revision for the press. Then followed the serious disarrangement caused by the calamity; and, after he had begun the unwelcome effort of recovering what had been lost, the physical infirmity which forbade literary labor, and, indeed, threatened the entire loss of the fruits of his diligent and successful research.

Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 5: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts A Pressure of affairs of a public nature for four years past has prevented me from giving to this fifth volume of the Documentary History of Maine the attention which the work demanded, hence what has appeared like unnecessary delay in its publication. As no one, however, was at hand who could relieve me of the labor of proof-reading, a not altogether inspiriting task, as all know who are familiar with the vagaries in spelling which our illiterate forbears, it would seem, delighted to make as complicated as possible, the delay was unavoidable. What I have done I have tried to do thoroughly, and have carefully compared the proof-sheets with my copies of the original manuscripts, which I regard as most trustworthy, hence I believe that no material errors will be discovered. To Mr. Edward Denham, of New Bedford, to whom our Society is so greatly indebted for unselfish labor in its behalf, am I under especial obligation for the excellent index which accompanies the volume.
