Excerpt from Documents and Records Relating to the Province of New-Hampshire, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Period of Its Settlement, 1623-1686 I deem it my duty to direct your attention to the present condition of our Provincial Records, for the period between 1680, when New Hampshire became a separate royal Province, to the year 1775, when her people adopted a State Government. These records are of great importance. Among other things, they contain a large portion of the Town Grants, the Provincial Laws, and all measures taken by the people of new-hampshire in the prosecution of the French and Indian wars; yet, valuable as they are, they have never been put in a condition to render them useful, or insure their preservation. A part of them are in bound volumes and a part upon loose sheets, and they are all in manuscript, much of which it is difficult to decipher. They are greatly scattered, also, some portions being found in the office of the Secretary of State, and some in the archives of the Historical Society, and other parts among the Court Papers in different counties, and elsewhere. The work of arranging and index ing these, commenced some years ago by the late John Farmer, Esq., at the instance of the Legislature, should be continued; and, when properly prepared, should be printed, and thus rendered of easy access.
