dence. All these, as a matter of necessity, had to be left to await a second volume of the index which will probably be required to cover the papers up to the date of 1790.
After much consideration they devised the plan of giving the year date, which they have printed in a different type from the serial number (which it always precedes ;) and where a number of similar documents are all in one and the same year the year date is given first and all num- bers following it, whether on that line or following lines, are serial numbers of papers dated in that year until the next year date is reached.
It was at first intended simply to classify the papers by titles as "Acts," " Bills," "Certificates," etc .; but this was soon found to be impracticable and insufficient. In the matter of bills, for instance, there are thousands of bills bearing on every subject in which the town or the townsmen were interested; and to put them all into one class, even if alphabetically arranged, would only tend to the hopeless confusion of the seeker after information. It was useless to try to simplify the matter by attempting to make a distinction between " public " and " private " bills, - for, prior to the close of the Revolution, the great majority of the bills against the town were made out against the town officers, apparently as individuals; and it often requires a close scrutiny of the contents of a bill, and of the mode of payment as well, to determine whether the bill is against the individual or the town; and it can scarcely be said to be a rarity to find bills in which some items are against the town and some against the person who filled the town's office.
Another reason for not classing all bills under the title of that name is that nearly all of the public bills are in connection with matters which themselves require a titular distinction in the index as Bridges, Fire Apparatus, Highways, etc .; and if other matters than bills connected with or referring to Bridges, etc., are entered under that or those titles it would seem as if the bills also should be so entered ; while if the bills are entered under both titles it would lead to an useless duplication of entries.
It is true that many of these bills refer to matters affecting several of these, what may be called, natural titles; as, for instance, we find items referring to Bridges, Highways and Fortifications, all in one bill; but this fact only shows more plainly the necessity of arranging the references by a classification based on the subject matter.
These remarks in regard to bills apply equally to Certificates, Letters, Orders, Petitions, Warrants, etc .; in fact to all of what would be consid- ered purely titular headings.
In carrying out their plan the Commissioners have striven to make the titles and sub-titles and further sub-divisions of the index go as far as possible in the description of the subject matter of the papers. The features which the papers possess in common have been incorporated as succinctly as possible into such titles, leaving the actual reference in thousands of cases to be simply the serial number; and when more than that is given it is simply the differentia distinguishing it from others of its class, and making it, in so far sui generis; which individualiza- tion is expressed in the briefest manner.
[ 4 ]
There are many cases where the system of this index and of a titular index concur. To prevent confusion arising from this source, the Com- missioners have introduced a series of cross references, in each case where it is applicable, showing where other papers of the same nominal title are to be found.
The most general feature of the arrangement is its alphabetical order. A list of titles given in that order is hereto annexed and serves as a con- tents of the index. All sub-titles of any given title are placed in like order. When a sub-title becomes the subject of a further division, the numbers of that division are placed in alphabetical order, and so with further sub-divisions so far as they may be carried. If the occasion for it exists, a chronological classification is introduced, leaving the ultimate result to be the distinction of the serial numbers. This may be well illustrated in the case of Neal McNeal. He was a pauper, receiving aid from the town, hence his case comes under the title of Poor. Most of the aid he received was in the form of orders of Overseer of the Poor on the Town Treasurer. " Order of Overseer of Poor on the Town Treas- urer in favor of " is one of the sub-titles under Poor, and is found in its alphabetical order. But many other persons besides Neal McNeal were the beneficiaries of such orders; they therefore form the subject of a further division or a sub-sub-title. The names of these persons are placed in alphabetical order, and, in its proper place among those is Neal McNeal. Orders in favor of Neal McNeal are further classified according to the persons to whom payable, those payable to him being placed first and those payable to others following in alphabetical order.
To show the general plan of the system, there is here given a diagram- matic abstract from the most complicated and, at the same time, one of the most interesting titles, viz. : Revolution. Under this head it has been intended to index every document bearing on the revolutionary struggle.

Bill against Henry Bowen on account of store. In classifying these bills, the principal item is chosen.

Case of Town of Providence vs. Martha Howell. This is a lot of papers all bearing on one case, recently come to light and all classed together, though of widely different dates and characters.

Highway bills where locality is given .- The names of localities, streets, etc., here given, are those used in the bills and often differ from the places to which the same names are given at the present time.
Note-The year date given with the notes is sometimes that of pay- ment, and not the date of the note.
Note-Public. These notes were all given, unless otherwise specified, by the town treasurer. Some state the purpose for which they were given, some do not. In addition there was a distinction between cur- rent money notes, continental currency notes, hard money notes, gold notes, gold and silver notes, and silver notes, or notes payable in those respective kinds of currency, though sometimes all these differ- ent kinds of notes would be issued under the same resolution or for the same purpose. These differences are indicated by
Ist. Making a class of simple notes in which there was no special feature to be noted.
2d. Classifying the notes as far as possible according to the objects for which issued in alphabetical order and
3d. Placing in this alphabetical arrangement under the head of resolutions the notes that can only be classified by reference to the resolutions authorizing them in chronological order of the dates of the resolutions; the notes themselves being ranged in alphabetical order of the names of payees.
4th. After the name of the payer is the indication of the money of payment, If unspecified in the note it is left blank; if " gold," "gold or silver" or " gold and silver" it is rep- resented by a G, if " hard money " by an H, if " silver money" or " Spanish milled silver dollars " by an S, and if " Continental currency " by a C.
Order drawn on James Arnold-Many of these may have been drawn upon him as town treasurer, but where it is impossible to determine positively that they were such they are entered as private matters.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer for relief of Daniel Box. He was a Continental invalid, which title see.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer, in favor of Michael McFow- ley. See also orders in favor of Fowley above.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Deborah Olney. See sub-title rent post.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Sigbee Richmond, a black invalid state soldier.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of John Skirms, an old state soldier.
Poor-Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Mrs. Bridget Smith. See sub-title rent post.
Poor-Reports of overseer of poor. Many of the accounts noted hereto- fore as " bills general" are in the nature of reports.
Poor-Work House, care of poor in. Many items in regard to poor in work house form parts of the bills indexed under title of "Town Sergeant."
[.9]

Revolution-Expedition to Rhode Island. These papers apparently refer to service other than that in the battle of Rhode Island and the expe- dition leading thereto.
School House-Some of these papers probably refer to the Brick School House, which see post.
Small pox, general-The papers in regard to small pox are divided under four titles :
Ist. Those relating to small pox generally, viz. : with no spe- cial feature of distinguishment.
2d. Those relating to small pox hospital generally, viz. : where no location is given.
3d. Those relating to small pox hospital at North Providence and
4th. Those relating to small pox liospital at Tockwotten.
Evidently many papers classed under the second title refer to the third or fourth, but as it is impossible to tell which of the two is referred to in them, they are classed as found.
Tax-Assessment, bill for, of Nathan Wheaton. Perhaps this name should be Nathaniel.
Tax-Order of town treasurer on tax collector out of tax collecting, for paving notes taken up in favor of Zephaniah Andrews (3756) was for pavement around the market house. Order to Nicholas Brown, in tlie same series (3793) was for paving the market parade.
Test act-List of inhabitants of Providence who signed and list of inhabitants of Providence who did not sign. These two lists are not originals but copies, which the copyist states to be correct and that the originals were at the time of copying in the town clerk's office.
Town Sergeant-Bill of against town for services. The nature of the services for which these bills are rendered is so varied that no attempt is made to classify them thereby.
Town Treasurer-Receipt of, for endorsements on town treasurer's notes. The payments were in paper money, the endorsements are in hard or silver money at appropriate rates.
