History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, 1636-1790.
By SAMUEL GREENE ARNOLD.
New Edition. 2 vols. Octavo. 574 and 600 pp. $7.50, net.
Governor Arnold's History of Rhode Island, based upon a careful study of documents in the British State Paper Office and in the Rhode Island State Archives, supplemented by in- vestigations at Paris and The Hague, has from its publication been the authoritative history of the State.
Genealogical students will find in these volumes the names of over fifteen hundred persons prominent in Rhode Island affairs. This work is of much more than local interest, as the experi- ment of religious liberty here tried gives to this history an im- portance far beyond the narrow limits of the State.
" One of the best State histories ever written is S. G. Arnold's His- tory of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." - JOHN FISKE.
"The best history of Rhode Island is that of Arnold." - PROF. GEORGE P. FISHER, Yale University.
" Mr. Samuel Greene Arnold in his history of Rhode Island has brought together all the extant materials. He brings out more clearly than any previous writer the distinct threads of the previous settle- ments." - PROF. JOHN A. DOYLE, Oxford.
" A work prepared after long and careful research. Probably no student has ever made himself more familiar with the history of Rhode Island than did Arnold. This work abounds, therefore, in valuable in- formation." - PRES. CHARLES KENDALL ADAMS, Cornell University.

Tax Lists of the Town of Providence
During the Administration of Sir Edmund Andros and his Council,
1686-1689.
Compiled by EDWARD FIELD, A.B.,
Member of the Rhode Island Historical Society, and one of the Record Commissioners of the City of Providence.
Cloth. Octavo. 60 pp. $1.00, net.
The " Tax Lists of the Town of Providence " is a compilation of original documents relating to taxation during the Adminis- tration of Sir Edmund Andros and his Council, 1686-1689. It comprises copies of warrants issued by order of the Council for the assessment and collection of taxes, the tax lists or rate bills prepared pursuant to these warrants, the returns made by the townsmen of their ratable property, and the Tax Laws enacted by Andros and his Council. All of these, with the exception of the laws, are here printed for the first time.
Among the rate bills is the list of polls for 1688, which con- tains the names of all males sixteen years of age and upwards living in Providence in August of that year ; practically a eensus of the town. For the genealogist and historian this volume con- tains material of the greatest value on account of the great num- ber of names which these lists contain, besides showing the amount of the tax assessment in each case.
The returns of ratable property form a study by themselves, for they tell in the quaint language of the colonists what they possess, and therefore shed much light on the condition of the times. For a study of this episode in New England Colonial History this work is invaluable.
The index of all names contained in the lists and text is a feature of this work.
The edition is limited to two hundred and fifty numbered copies.
Sent postpaid to any address on receipt of one dollar.
Revolutionary Defences in Rhode Island.
AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE FORTIFICATIONS AND BEACONS ERECTED DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLU- TION, WITH MUSTER ROLLS OF THE COMPANIES STA- TIONED ALONG THE SHORES OF NARRAGANSETT BAY, WITH MAPS, PLANS AND ILLUSTRATIONS.
BY EDWARD FIELD.
Past President of the Rhode Island Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
CLOTH OCTAVO, WITH 29 ILLUSTRATIONS AND TWO MAPS. PRICE $2.25 NET.
This volume contains an account of the various works of defence erected in the State of Rhode Island during the Revo- lutionary War, showing where and under what circumstances they were built, and the names of the officers and enlisted men located at many of them at various periods of the war.
For nearly three years the British Army was located within the State and one of the notable battles was fought within its territory. The war map of this battle of Rhode Island, now preserved in the State archives, has been especially reproduced for this work, and is shown in its entirety for the first time.
The work is profusely illustrated with plans and views of these old earthworks, together with illustrations of the styles of equipments and fac-similes of enlistment papers for the Con- tinental Army. A Map of the State of Rhode Island is inserted showing the location of each fort, beacon, and coast guard sta- tion described in the text.
Muster rolls and company lists containing the names of more than seven hundred officers and enlisted men, many of which have been hitherto inaccessible, are here presented. The records of Rhode Island Soldiers in the War of the Revolution are scat- tered and incomplete, and the names contained in this book will be of great assistance to those who desire to ascertain the service of Rhode Island Soldiers, or to establish their right to member. ship in the hereditary patriotic societies, for the names have been carefully transcribed and reference is given in cach case where the original muster or pay roll may be found.

A Summer Visit of Three Rhode Islanders to the Massachusetts Bay in 1651.
BY HENRY MELVILLE KING, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Providence, R. I.
Cloth, 12mo., 115 pages. Price $1.00 net. Uniform with "MARY DYER."
AN ACCOUNT OF THE VISIT OF DR. JOHN CLARKE, OBADIAH HOLMES AND JOHN CRANDALL, MEMBERS OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH IN NEWPORT, R. L., TO WILLIAM WITTER OF SWAMPSCOTT, MASS., IN JULY, 1651 : ITS INNOCENT PURPOSE AND ITS PAINFUL CON- SEQUENCES.
" Dr. King's pungent and conclusive essay is a timely contribution. He adduces competent evi- dence refuting the gratuitous insinuations of Palfrey and Dexter, who charged the Rhode Islanders in question with sinister political motives and excused their alleged maltreatment on that ground. Cita- tions from original documents, with a bibliography, put the reader in position to verify the allegations of the author."-The Watchman.

ESEK HOPKINS :
Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Navy 1775 to 1778; Master Mariner; Politician; Brigadier-General; Naval Officer; and Philanthropist.
BY EDWARD FIELD, A. B.
Author of "Revolutionary Defences in Rhode Island," "The Colonial Tavern," "Tax Lists of the Town of Providence."
EDITION LIMITED TO THREE HUNDRED NUMBERED COPIES. OCTAVO, CLOTH. ILLUSTRATED WITH FIFTEEN PLATES AND A MAP. PRICE, $3.00 NET.
The story of the life of Capt. Esek Hopkins, the first commander of the American navy, has never before been told. Mr. Field has used Hopkins' own papers and records kept during his connection with the navy, extracts from ships' logs, and records in the Department of State at Washington. The work treats of the origin of the American navy and its first expeditions, discloses the reasons which operated against the success of Hopkins as a naval com- mander, and exposes the plot which resulted in his removal from the command of the navy.
The present work is the result of a patient and disinterested study of the character of the man who for more than a hundred years has been the subject of the most scathing criticism, and the facts as set forth in this work will enable one to judge for him- self what manner of man he was. The work is a timely contribution to the study of the navy.
Included in the text are names of officers, marines and seamen in the navy of the Revolution never be- fore printed, which will connect with Revolutionary service many persons not heretofore associated with that crisis in American history.

Cloth, 12mo. Price $1.00 net. Uniform with "Mary Dyer " and "Summer Visit."
A careful, conscientious and sympathetic study of one of the most unique figures in our colonial liis- tory, and of some of its most exciting episodes.

MARY DYER
OF RHODE ISLAND,
THE QUAKER MARTYR THAT WAS HANGED ON BOSTON COMMON, JUNE 1, 1660.
BY HORATIO ROGERS. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island.
The author has gathered from many sources the scattered facts relating to the career of Mary Dyer and woven them into a detailed narrative, so that the tragic story of her life is now for the first time adequately told. By adding a brief but compre- hensive sketch of the manner and sentiments of her times he has furnished a background or frame- work for his subject which adds much to the in terest of the volume by enabling the reader the better to understand the surroundings of the char- acters he portrays. The important documents re- lating to her trial are printed in the appendix.

EARLY CONNECTICUT HOUSES.
BY NORMAN M. ISHAM AND ALBERT F. BROWN.
ILLUSTRATED WITH A MAP AND OVER ONE HUNDRED DRAWINGS. LARGE 8VO. UNIFORM WITH "EARLY RHODE ISLAND HOUSES, " BY THE SAME AUTHORS. PRICE, $2.50 NET.
This book treats the early houses of Connecticut in the same way in which its predecessor treated the dwellings of Rhode Island.
The same accuracy of measurement and drawing and the same careful description of the early work characterize the new volume.
The work describes a large number of houses in Hartford and its neighborhood, in New London, and in New Haven and the towns confederated with it.
Much new information will be found in the chap- ter on Construction, and the relation with English work is considered in the light of further study of examples in the old country.

THE HOMERIC PALACE.
BY NORMAN M. ISHAM.
ILLUSTRATED BY ELEVEN FULL-PAGE PLATES. OCTAVO. CLOTH. $1.00 NET.
THE HOMERIC PALACE is an attempt, in an inex- pensive and convenient form, to set the main lines of the royal dwelling of Homeric times before the reader of to-day.
The text collects the main facts about the different parts of the palace. The drawings show the plans of the great strongholds, Troy, Tiryns, Arne, My- cenæ, and gather into one plate the various types of rampart walls, into another the gates and ap- proaches. Bird's-eye views show, in one plate, four stages or steps in the building of a palace, in another a restoration, which is half plan, half section and elevation combined, of the palace at Tiryns, a view which, so far as we know, has never before been published, much as that building has been drawn and restored.
All lovers of classical myth or history will find the work interesting. To the student it will be a con- venient text or reference book, and to the teacher of Homer it will be invaluable.
