Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bibliographical Essay on Governor Hutchinson's Historical Publications
Rev. Samuel Mather, son of Cotton Mather; he mar ried Hannah Hutchinson, a sitter Of the Governor.
Some idea Of the extent and value of the materials used by Hutchinson in pre paring his first volume, may be formed by referring to the Appendix to that book, and also by consulting the volume Of Orig inal Papers, afterwards published by him. It is a little singular that he did not con sult or make use Of Governor Winthrop's History, while writing his work. Nearly ten years before its publication, Prince had announced, on the cover Of the first part Of the second volume of his Annals, that he had lately received this most anthem tic and valuable journal Of Gov. Win thtop so that Hutchinson could not have been ignorant Of its existence. He, how ever, had the benefit Of this History at second hand, through Hubbard.
