Note
If the evil which men do lives after them, it is ' sometimes for only a short period, and so far as per- manence goes in this impermanent world, might as well have been interred with their bones.
The name of Sir Edmond Andros, notwithstand- ing his persistent efforts to annul the liberties of Con- necticut, has been no Black Douglas to affright her children, while in their eyes, the Charter Oak flour- ished mightily from acorn to spreading shade, a sym- bol which they early learn to recognize if not to appre- ciate in its full significance.
Sir Edmond appears to have been (notwithstand- ing his ability) a somewhat futile person, who failed to endear himself either as guardian or opponent to the rather critical people of the Connecticut he was sent to govern. Like many another constituted authority, he sought in his small way to sweep back the steady encroachment upon the barriers of political assumption of the tide of independent thought. The brief candle of his dominion flickers but dimly in the prevailing breezes of historical revival.
Nevertheless, the period between 1675 and 1687 has its value as it had its consequences. It "set" so to speak, the always ebullient fluid of Connecticut's political opinion. In the bill of particulars of this some- what beclouded administration, there have been certain omissions. Records, however fond and trivial to the
[ I]

Court Records for
general reader but which have an actual value to the historian, have been lacking. It is this omission which the present publication, in part, at least, supplies.
The original manuscript, in old and, save to the expert, indecipherable handwriting, was given, among other papers of supposedly trifling value, to the late James Hammond Trumbull, an enthusiastic student of Connecticut history, and the taker of infi- nite pains in following its traces. He identified it as a part of the state records of the administration of Sir Edmond Andros, royal governor of the colony of Connecticut.
To decipher and edit this manuscript and to enhance its value by notes and comments on contempo- rary colonial history would have been to him a con- genial task. Today its value must depend upon its text alone-a text which it has seemed appropriate to offer as a contribution to the reminiscences of this tercentenary year.
In thus offering it I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness and express my gratitude to Mr. Arthur L. Shipman whose advice and assistance in thus plac- ing the record before the public, have been of the greatest value.
I also express my appreciation of the very valu- able assistance of Miss Effie M. Prickett in rendering the manuscript intelligible.
