The Records of the Town of Cambridge Massachusetts 1630-1703
Printed by Order of the City Council Under the Direction of the City Clerk
1901
Near fine condition. Light general handling wear to the brown cloth boards with bright spine titling and an exceptionally clean interior. Binding remains tight and square with crisp pages throughout. Bookplate to the front free endpaper from the Northern Gila County Genealogical Library, Payson Arizona. An unusually well-preserved copy.
Brown cloth hardcover with gilt spine lettering. Contains the first volume of the printed Cambridge town records covering 1630 through 1703, reproduced directly from the original manuscripts. Includes an early foldout map of Cambridge as existing in 1635, facsimile manuscript pages, and extensive early colonial records preserving the original spelling and formatting wherever possible. Printed at the University Press in Cambridge by John Wilson and Son.
An important primary source volume documenting the earliest civic, land, and town meeting records of colonial Cambridge, Massachusetts. Works like this underpin a tremendous amount of early New England genealogical and historical research, preserving seventeenth century names, land grants, ordinances, and settlement details that might otherwise remain inaccessible in manuscript archives. The inclusion of facsimile leaves and the 1635 map gives the volume a particularly strong visual and documentary appeal beyond its research value alone.
