A REPORT Record Commissioners CITY OF BOSTON, CONTAINING THE RECORDS OF BOSTON SELECTMEN, 1701 TO 1715. JEE* BOSTON: ROCKWELL AND CHURCHILL, CITY PRINTERS, No. 39 Alton street; 18 8 4 f 1 z. \ [Document 75—1884.] A REPORT RECORD COMMISSIONERS. In presenting their Eleventh Report, the Record Com- missioners would refer to the statement prefixed to their seventh volume, which explained that from A.D. 1701, the Town Records were kept distinct from the Selectmen's Re- cords. The Eighth Report comprises the former records from 1701 to 1728 ; this volume contains the first two books of the Records of the Selectmen, covering the period from 1701 to 1715. It would be unnecessary to dwell upon the value of the records here printed. Although many of the entries are of trifling importance under most circumstances, they are all valuable as adding genealogical items concerning our former citizens. Boston was always the main seaport of New Eng- land, and the most trivial record here may be of great service to those who are completing the records of other towns. Besides such items as we have mentioned, the reader will find herein many valuable facts not elsewhere recorded, relating to land-titles, highways, wharves, and other matters of pub- lic concern. The following list of the manuscript volumes of the Select- men's Records will show their extent : — Vol. 1. — Sept. 29, 1701, to June 18, 1711, pages, 294. 2. —June 20, 1711, to March 17, 1715, " 203. 3. — March 20, 1715, to 1729, " 414. 4. —June 30, 1729, to Sept. 6,1736, " 367. 5.— Sept. 15, 1736, to Aug. 22,1738, «< 369.

The publication of a second volume of these Records has been authorized by the City Council, and the printing has commenced. At the same time, rapid progress will be made in printing two or three volumes of the Town Records. As already announced, the Tenth Report will consist of Miscellaneous Papers. A large portion of that volume is already in type, and it is hoped that the book will be finished during the present year. William H. Whitmore, William S. Appleton, Record Commissioners.
