Excerpt from Collections of the New-York Historical Society for the Year 1869, Vol. 2 The undersigned, a committee charged with the preparation and publication of the Collections for the Year 1869, respectfully submit this volume to the Society and the public. Unwilling to forestall the labors of writers of history, by anticipating the use of the new materials presented in the following pages, they have not encumbered the teat with notes or comments of their own nor deemed it expedient to vary from the general principles laid down in the introduction to the preceding volume, the first of the series. The Clarendon Papers, which occupy the first place in this volume, are copies from the original manuscripts preserved in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, England. They were procured by Mr. George H. Moore, in the course of researches for his tion of the Statutes at Large of New York from 1664 to 1691. In placing them at the disposal of the committee for publication, Mr. Moore desired that due acknowledgment should be made to the Librarian, Rev. H. O. Coxe, 'm Corp. Christ, for his courtesy in promoting the objects of the inquiry which led to this valuable result. These documents cannot fail to be regarded with peculiar interest, for the light which they throw on the origin, progress, and results of the Royal Commission cfl664 and the American Colo nial policy of Clarendon's administration. Nor is their value diminished by the fact that they have so long remained untouched in the repositories of the University, and are now for the first time made available with us for the history of the important transac tions in America to which they relate.
