PREFACE
In Rhode Island, the land records are kept by the various towns and not by the counties, as in Massachusetts. This has always been true of this State, even when for a time the Colony government kept a record of land transfers.
There are now in the office of the Secretary of State, four ancient volumes called Rhode Island Land Evidence. They contain a great variety of deeds, a very few of Providence, many from Newport and many from the various parts of South County-some, such as Roger Williams' deed to Richard Smith, from territory where there was no town gov- ernment at all.
09%
The deeds are not arranged chronologically and often early deeds are recorded with later instruments relating to the same piece of land, apparently to strengthen the title. Probate and other legal records are also contained in these books.
Two other volumes of early colonial records, the "Rhode Island Colony Record, 1646-1669," and the "Records of the Island of Rhode Island, 1639-1646," also contain land evi- dences.
Although a few of these deeds have been printed in full and in abstract, the mass of this material has been available for study only at great cost of time and effort. Over a year ago the group of gentlemen, whose names follow, determined to do something towards bringing these deeds before students and historians in a reasonably convenient form :
EDWIN A. BURLINGAME NORMAN M. ISHAM
FREDERICK D. CARR CHARLES D. KIMBALL
WILLIAM C. DART WALTER H. KIMBALL
WILLIAM C. GREENE
HOWARD W. PRESTON
HENRY D. SHARPE
These gentlemen contributed the funds for abstracting the records in the first volume of Land Evidence.
This work was done by Miss Dorothy Worthington.
Miss Worthington's manuscript was turned over to the Rhode Island Historical Society for publication, the cost of which has been paid for out of the "Special fund" contributed by : R. LIVINGSTON BEECKMAN FRANK W. MATTESON
H. MARTIN BROWN
JESSE H. METCALF

The book which the Society now publishes is the oldest of these four books of Land Evidences. It consists of 445 pages, each about 71/2 by 111/2 inches, the writing upon which is en- closed, at the top and on both sides, with an ink border line which may possibly once have crossed the bottom also. The rectangle of manuscript is 6 1/16 by 111/4 inches. The paper has a water mark, an urn with an elaborate finial ending at the top in a crescent.
There is no ancient title now to be seen, as the old fly leaves have disappeared.
The old binding also has perished and the book has been rebound, with the following title on the back :
