RECORD COMMISSIONERS.
BOSTON, December 31, 1880.
The Record Commissioners obtained the consent of the City Council this year, to print, as their sixth volume, the Land Records of Roxbury, thereby carrying out the idea of apportioning. the work among the various sections of our The second volume contains Boston records ; present city. the fourth, Dorchester the third, Charlestown records records the present, Roxbury records and the seventh, now in the printers' hands, will resume the Boston volumes. The Roxbury book here printed, has, we believe, been taken apart and re-arranged, so that it is no longer possible* to say when the record of grants was commenced. Certhe first entry on our first page, dated in 1639, is not tainly in the same handwriting as the entries paged 1-86, on our These entries were all by the same hand, pages' 12-51. and probably the following order explains them

These signatures are not autographs, but a comparison with other pages leads us to the conviction, that this transcript, or book of possessions, was written by Edward Denison at that time. The other items in the book are dated, and are of the miscellaneous nature generally to be found in old books of town records. As this particular volume would not make a book of the size of others in this series of reports, the commissioners The first volume of searched for material to accompany it. town records is in proper form for printing by itself, and it seemed unwise to divide it so as to fill out this book. It was, however, believed, that the Records of the First Church in Roxbury were of so conspicuous interest and value as to warrant their selection for printing. Not only are they of interest as being largely the work of that most famous of our divines, the Rev. John Eliot, but they contain many pages of entries of general interest. Mr. Eliot and his colleague, the Rev. Samuel Danforth, happily conceived the idea of entering in this volume a summary of public events,
year by year. As public records, therefore, they will be valued by many who have no special interest in the doings of the settlers at Roxbury. Portions of this record hare been printed already. In 1850, the late J. Wingate Thornton, Esq., published a number of articles, in a Roxbury newspaper, concerning the portion of the church record was thus early settlers.
