INDEX.

NOTE.-The Index which follows is designed to contain the name of every person
and place mentioned in this volume. The officers of government, as Governor, Lt.
Governor, and Councilors, are put in SMALL CAPITALS, but not otherwise referred to
except as performing some assigned duty. The word passim indicates that a name is
found very often in the volume, and need not therefore be repeatedly noted. Thus the
names of Councilors and 'Representatives are repeated on almost every page. The
Editor has aimed to be accurate but still fears that errors may be discovered.
