Excerpt from The Diary and Letters of His Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, Esq.: B.A. (Harvard), LL. D. (Oxon;), Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of His Late Majesty's Province of Massachusetts Bay, in North America; With an Account of His Administration When He Was Member and Speaker of the House of Representatives, and His Gove And to the Rev. Dr. Andrew Oliver we are indebted for the picture of their ancestor, the lieutenant-governor, an honest man, who suffered for his loyalty, and who claims much of our attention in the following pages. To these gentlemen - whom also the Editor is proud to claim as relatives, inasmuch as his grandmother, Sarah Oliver, was a daughter of the Lieutenant Governor - and to their obliging exertions, not only for much useful and interesting information conveyed at different times, but also for the trouble they have taken in making this work better known in America, he embraces this opportunity of tendering his grateful acknowledgments. The facsimile of the first page of Governor Hutchinson's Diary, to face page 152 of this volume, will give an idea of the general style of his writing. In transcribing from the diaries, or copying original letters or such others as had been transferred into the letter books the Editor has uniformly felt desirous of making very close copies, as the chief and surest way of gaining the confidence of his readers, having departed little from this line beyond in most cases changing the into and, so that if any oversights should have crept in, it will have been through inadvertence, for which he should be sorry. In carrying this principle so far as to retain abbreviations, and errors in grammar or spelling, he is even more scrupulous than what is required by Lord Mahon in his strictures on the duties of Editors, as addressed to Jared Sparkes in the appendix to the sixth volume of his history. But surelv it is better to err on the side of exactitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
