Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, 1903, Vol. 9 This volume Of Rolls is published under the provisions of a recent Special Act Of the General Assembly making an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars to the Connecticut Historical Society; one of the purposes specifically named in this act being to publish its rolls of soldiers in the revolutionary and colonial wars, not heretofore printed. Another provision is that the Society shall deposit in the State Library three hundred copies of each catalogue, report, or other work published under this act, to be disposed of by the State Librarian. This is the second important work issued under the provisions of this act. At a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Society held on the twentieth of last May it was Voted that a volume of Rolls of Connecticut Men who served in the French and Indian War 1755 1762 be prepared and published, and the librarian as editor of the Society's publications was directed to undertake the work without delay. This volume is the result of that vote. It was anticipated that all of the rolls of the Connecticut men in that war could be published in one volume, but as the printing progressed it was found necessary, in order to make a volume Of convenient size and to conform to the size of the previous volumes of the series, to divide the work into two volumes. It is expected that the second volume will be issued without delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
