NOTE!  The following item is a large treasure chest containing documents about the early history of Colonial Massachusetts. The large 8 vo. volume is in very sorry condition, but its content justifies professional restoration. The entire text is legible, but there is staining of some pages, small tears, light to medium foxing, and most of the text is loose in large sections from the text block. The front board is missing, the back is detached, but in fair condition. I have provided scans of every title page and content of each volume. Printed at the Apollo Press in Boston, by Belknap and Hall.
