Book Description
Excerpt from Fourth Report on the Custody and Condition of the Public Records of Parishes, Towns, and Counties, 1892 By chapter 108 of the Resolves of 1889, which continued the commission, it expires on March 1, 1892. The history of its creation and early work are fully given in the first report, presented to the Legislature in January, 1889; and the second recites the resolve which continued it, and gave it the additional power to take such measures as should secure the preservation of the records. At the risk of inviting the charge of magnifying the office, I do not hesitate to state that no more important work has ever been laid out by the Legislature; no work has been so far delayed beyond the time when it Should have been commenced; and there is nothing more important to the whole people than that the work should be continued, and a supervision exercised over the records of the counties, cities, towns, churches, and their associate bodies. In making this statement I but repeat the opinion of many who have given much attention to the matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The act providing for the appointment of a Commissioner of Public Records requires that the commissioner shall report to the Legislature in each year the results Of his labors, with such recommendations and suggestions as may seem important for the safety and benefit of the records. The results Of his labors cannot be summed up annually, as several years of labor have been required to bring about Some Of the results, but it can be stated generally that there has been a great improve ment in everything relating to the safety and benefit of the records. Some detailed results, and some recommendations, are presented under their respective headings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"In 1884, Carroll D. Wright was appointed to prepare a report showing the condition of the public records of the parishes, towns, and counties of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This remarkable book, originally published in 1889 under the name 'Report on the custody and condition of the public records of parishes, towns, and counties,' brings together under one cover a town-by-town, church-by-church, and county-by-county listing of all the records existing for each jurisdiction. Each section is preceded by detailed explanatory notes, and numerous footnotes cite special circumstances related to particular records, such as missing volumes or records kept elsewhere. When genealogists and family researchers need to visit a city or town hall, knowing what existed in the clerk's custody in 1889 will aid them in their search for records" -- Publisher's description.
