Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Vol. 3: 1678-1689
When my second volume was issued, I thought it improbable that my health and strength would be adequate to the completion of the third. It has been prepared with great and increasing difficulty from imperfect eyesight and from the infirmities of advancing years. I have passed my eightieth birthday, and have expended such working power as remained to me in the volume now given to the public. I can do no more. But the work will be continued by younger hands, into which will pass a large mass of materials, the accumulated collections of more than halfa century. This labor has been my pleasure; and while I have rejoiced to follow out the faint and dim traces of the earlier Harvard biographies, I bequeath to my isucces sors the easier task of research in times that had more copious.
