A member of both the Connecticut and the New York historical
societies, the author managed to persuade the General Assembly of
the State of Connecticut in 1849 "to purchase for the use of the
State, two hundred and fifty copies" of his book upon completion,
to be distributed among the various state and town legislatures of
Connecticut. An interesting way of obtaining funding, indeed In
1850, the work was finished and duly approved by the Secretary of
State, having been "diligently compared with the original Records,"
as "a true, full, and literal copy of the said Records." "Said
Records" being the Records of the General and Particular Courts
(1636-1649), of the General Court (1650-1665), of Wills and
Inventories (1640-1649), the Code of Laws established in 1650 and
no less than twelve appendices, including an abstract of the will
of George Fenwick, letters from a Mr. William Goodwin concerning
the legacy of Governor Hopkins and a petition of a Mrs. Elizabeth
Cullick, "relict to Captayne John Cullick" to the General Court in
1639. The last appendix is a list of documents relating to the
union of the colony of Connecticut with New Haven, the first of
which is dated October 1662 and the last November 1664. The book
contains a name index and a general index, and is illustrated with
facsimiles of documents and signatures.
