Excerpt from The Early Records of the Town of Providence, Vol. 15: Being the Providence Town Papers, Vol I. 1639 April 1682 Nos; 01-0367 Included among the papers herein printed are a number of Roger Williams' letters, making a valuable collection of the writings of the distinguished founder of these plantations. On account of their extreme value, and for the purpose of presenting them in as nearly their original condition as possible, the Commission ers have caused to be made photographic reproductions of some of them as fitting illustrations to the work as well as indicating generally the character and appear ance of the papers which are here printed. In printing this collection of papers the Commissioners have followed the method of procedure which they early adopted in perpetuating the early records. They believe that all the earliest records should be permanently preserved by printing, and in following this method it has been necessary to make the series of volumes cover a variety of records. In this way the Commissioners have pre served ih type the four earliest books of records, these containing all the proceed ings of the town before any classification of records had been made. Following this was printed the first book of Wills in existence, then the town meeting and the town council records were printed, and next preceding this volume the first book used for the recording of land evidences. With the printing of this volume all of the earliest records of the town are now in print. It may be convenient to state that the work which the Commissioners have been engaged upon for several years past was authorized by the following resolution of the City Council of Providence, approved March 6, 1891.

Excerpt from The Early Records of the Town of Providence, Vol. 7: Being Part of Will Book No; 1 Otherwise Called the First Booke for Prouidence Towne Council Perticular Vse In the printing of this volume the same signs have been used as in former volumes, and for convenience the explanations thereof are repeated here. The figures at the top of the pages, and enclosed in brackets, indicate the paging of this present volume. The heavy figures enclosed in brackets represent the paging of the original book as it now stands. This mark l shows the beginning and end of interlineations in the original. Words or letters printed in parentheses are so found in the original. Brackets enclosing blank space, thus, [ ] signify that something is missing, or illegible in the original. The sign is used to represent a contraction or double letter, which, in the original, stands for pr, and is used as the representative of syllables containing those letters with a vowel. In very many cases the marks or signs manual made by illiterate persons to instruments, in lieu of their own proper written signatures, are reproduced in fac-simile on the records by the recording officer, but in print in this volume these signs are usually represented by an X, being the conventional sign commonly used for that purpose.
