PREFACE.
Thepowerbywhichwerecallpastscenes,therapiditywith which theyarebrought
in review beforeus, the faculty by which wecan "range o'ercreation," anddwell
upon thepastandfuture, demonstratesthatman was indeedformed in the imageof
hisCreator,anddestined forimmortality. By thecontemplationof thepast, we feel
ourspan of existence extended: weenterintothethoughts, hopes, andaspirationsof
generationsbeforeus,andinsuchmomentsholdcommunion withthedepartedspirits
of antiquity.
Everything relatingtothehistoryof the "PilgrimFathers," is worthyof preser-
vation. "The Puritans," saysa writer in nowise partial to them, "werethemost
remarkable body of men, perhaps, which the world has ever produced They
weremen whosemindshad derivedapeculiarcharacterfromthedailycontemplation
ofsuperiorbeingsandeternal interests. Notcontent with acknowledgingingeneral
termsan overruling providence, theyhabitually ascribed everyeventto the will of
theGreatBeing, forwhosepower nothingwas toovast, forwhoseinspectionnothing
wastoominute. Toknowhim, toserve him, toenjoy him, was with them thegreat
end of existence. They rejected with contempt, the ceremonious homage which
othersectssubstituted for the homage ofthesoul On therichandtheeloquent,
onnoblesandpriests,they lookeddownwithcontempt: fortheyesteemedthemselves
richinamoreprecious treasure, and eloquent in amore sublime language; nobles
bytherightof anearliercreation, andpriestsby theimpositionofamightier hand!"
Thesewere themen towhomtheworld owesthepreservation of civil and religious
liberty, theirenemiesbeing judges; and it was men of this stamp that were thefa-
thersof Connecticut.
Thoughsmallinterritorialextentandpopulation, Connecticutissecond tonone of

amountof herpopulation, shehasfurnishedalargeproportion of distinguished men

are largelyindebted toherforthe elementsof theirgreatness and prosperity.
Theearly historyof Connecticut, initsvariousparts, hasbeenablywrittenbyDr.
Trumbull, the venerablehistorian of hisnativestate. To this work the author is
deeplyindebted, asheisalso tothe "GazetteerofConnecticutand Rhode Island,"by
John C.Peaseand JohnM.Niles, Esqs., a workof muchlaborand merit. Forthe
accountof the towns in Middlesex County, "Field's Statistical Account" has fur-
nished muchvaluableinformation. Theextractsfromthemost ancient newspapers
weretaken fromfilesof theNewHaven journals, theearliestand onlycopies, it is
believed, thatarenowin existence. These journalsarein the valuable libraryleft
bythelateCol. WilliamLyon,adistinguishedantiquarian, andarenowinpossession
of hisson, William Lyon, Esq.agentlemanto whomthecompilerfeelshimself un-
derlastingobligations. Tothevariousgentlemenindifferentpartsofhisnativestate,
