Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1902, Vol. 2 Letter Books, made at some indefinite time after the receipt of the letters. There is no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of these 00pies; but it should be added that Trumbull's Copyist was very careless, especially with regard to the spelling of proper names, and it is only fair to infer that obvious errors of any kind are quite as likely to be due to him as to the writers, though many of the latter were illiterate persons, who wrote with no advantages of time or place. In printing, the spelling of the originals and of the copies in the Letter Books has been carefully followed, but the capitalization and the punctuation have been made to conform to mod ern usage.

This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Vol. 2 Of the early life of Ephraim Williams we have little contemporary data. The records of the town of Newton, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1714, contain the usual family statistics. Aside from the rather meager information which they furnish, we are almost wholly dependent upon tradition. In this particular case that may be and probably is substantially trustworthy. The first sketch of Ephraim Williams appeared in the eighth volume of the Collections of the Massa chusetts Historical Society, nearly fifty years after his death. This sketch is supposed to have been written by President Fitch, of \villiams College, who doubtless gathered the materials for it from surviving con temporaries of Williams. He is. Described as a pleasant, likeable, public Spirited sort of man, with a taste for affairs. And no inconsiderab-le abil ity in the conduct of them. It has been thought that if he had survived the Bloody Morning Scout he might have become a coiispicuous figure in the Revolutionary war. Be this as it may, it was his destiny to win distinction in another field. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
