Excerpt from Studies in History Economics and Public Law, Vol. 22

No such destruction will ever be possible under the present or, it is to be hoped, any future administration.

My thanks are due to the Faculty of Hartford Theological Seminary for assistance rendered during three years in the preparation of this book; to Hon. O. Vincent Coffin, governor of Connecticut from 1895-97, for his kind interest and help; to the secretary of state of Connecticut, Hon. Charles G. R. Vinal, and the clerks in his office, who kindly gave free access to the manuscript records of the state; and especially to Mr. George S. Godard, the courteous and efficient librarian of the state library, and his assistant, Mr. Charles R. Green, who placed all the treasures of the library at my disposal and were apparently never allowed to give as much assistance as they desired. I am under great obligations to Judge Samuel O. Prentice, of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors, for help with legal problems; to Mr. Charles P. Kellogg, secretary of the State Board of Charities, for much valuable information and assistance, and above all to my instructor and friend, Professor Franklin H. Giddings, LL. D., of Columbia University, at whose suggestion this task was undertaken, and whose kindly interest and continued guidance have been invaluable. If the study shall help to a better understanding of the historical development of one of the most interesting of American poor laws, I shall feel well repaid for the time and labor devoted to it.
