ote,

Among the Connecticut Archives are files of the General Assem-blyup

to 1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the History of

Hadley, Massachusetts, selected and arranged documents from these files

up to the year 1790 in one hundred and twenty- two volumes. The docu-ments

from 1790 throush 1820were tranfserred from the office of the

Secretary of State when our new State Library and Supreme Court build-ingwas

occupied.

It is from the last mentioned documents and a few earlier

documents, omitted from the First Series by Mr. Judd, that the material

on Industry, Second Series, has been taken. The dates included in the

present series are from October 1747 to May 1820. The documents, num-bering

four hundred and forty- two, in Industry, Second Series, have

been arranged in three volumes as follows It Agriculture Manufac-tures.

IIt Manufactures ( continued); Mines. and Mining. III Fish

and Fisheries. The tables of contents not only furnish a convenient

calendar of the legislation on industry but give a digest of the sub-

Jectmatter.

The index made by Jessie A. Parsons, under the supervision of

Effie M. Prickett, has been in progress since March 1930. It is made

on the dictionary plan of name, subject and town entries. Under the

name of an individual will be found all reference to such person. When

the Spelling of a surname appears in several forms, one is taken under

which all the others are combined and references are made from he un-used

spellings. The spellin8 chosen s as far as possible the one

most used or one from which an autograph is found. Full names of mem-bers

of the General Assembly have been filled out from authentic roll

of the Senate and House in possession of the State Library. Frequent

use has been made of the Barbour Collection of Vital Records and the

United States Census of 1790.

The tjping was done by Emily C. Rudolph and was completed

June 26, 1930.
