The author is happy now to add the names of the Rev. W. Lord, the Rev. C. Tucker, and Francis Herbert, Esq., of Chelsea, from whom he has received important documentary and other informa tion. He also feels called on specially to acknow ledge the important aid rendered by the Rev. John Kirk in compiling the Index.
