</SPAN>Committee on English Research of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society called attention in their last annual <SPAN
class=gstxt_hlt>re</SPAN>port to the fact that there were in Engjand many
important documents relating to the American colonies, as well as manuscript
maps hitherto unknown to historical investigators. They urged upon the
society the desirability of having exact copies of them made now while we
have in Mr. Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters an experienced American antiquary
resident in London. This statement has been most strikingly verified by the
recent discovery by Mr. Waters of the Winthrop map—one of the most valuable
contributions yet made to our early colonial history—notices of which
appeared in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for
June, 1884, and in the <SPAN style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">Register
</SPAN>for July, 1884 (xxxviii. 342).</FONT></P>
<P class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>The manuscript " Description of New
England," which is here printed, is a still more important discovery. Though
it bears neither name nor date, there is internal evidence that it was
written in the year 1660, after the return of Charles II., by <SPAN
class=gstxt_hlt>Samuel Maverick, </SPAN>afterwards one of the king's
commissioners. <SPAN class=gstxt_hlt>Maverick, </SPAN>when
Winthrop</FONT></P>
<DIV class=flow><A id=PA4 class=page></A>
<P class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>and his company arrived, was settled at
Noddle's Island, now East Boston, and was known to have been here some years
before. The date of his arrival in New England has hitherto been unknown.
This manuscript gives it as 1624. <SPAN class=gstxt_hlt>Maverick </SPAN>was
then about twenty-two years old.</FONT></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 1em" class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>An account of New
England by one of the first white men who ever settled on the shores of
Massachusetts Bay, one of the " old planters" whom Gov. Winthrop found here,
is certainly of extraordinary interest to all students of our colonial
history. Its fortunate discovery emphasizes in the strongest manner the
great importance of the work which Mr. Waters is doing for us in
England.</FONT></P>
<P class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>This paper clears up many obscurities in our
early New England history, and gives us definite information which we have
long desired to obtain. It was probably presented to Sir Edward Hyde,
afterwards Earl of Clarendon, who was then Charles the Second's Lord High
Chancellor. It may be the paper referred to by <SPAN
class=gstxt_hlt>Mave</SPAN>rick in his letter to the earl, printed in the
Collections of the New York Historical Society for 1869, page 19. That
letter and others in the same volume should be read in connection with the
present paper. They show the persistency displayed by <SPAN
class=gstxt_hlt>Maverick </SPAN>in his efforts to deprive New England, and
particularly Massachusetts, of the right of self-government which had so
long been enjoyed here. The same spirit is shown in his letters printed in
the third volume of the New York Colonial Documents. The death of <SPAN
class=gstxt_hlt>Mave</SPAN>rick, which occurred between October 15, 1669,
and May 15, 1676, did not bring repose to the people of Massachusetts. In
the latter* year a new assailant of their charter appeared in the person of

<P class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>The document here printed is in the British

<P class=gtxt_body><FONT size=4>The long residence of Mr. <SPAN
