Hitherto the cheapest edition of this well-known work has been issued at Three Shillings, a price which, it has been stated, is prohibitive to many who would otherwise wish to possess a copy. In response, therefore, to the frequently expressed suggestion of many of the Clergy, both at home and abroad, and with a view to render the work more extensively useful among a wider circle of readers, more particularly the poorer members of the Church, it has been decided to issue a cheap popular edition at so reasonable a price as will bring it within the means of every one to obtain it.

Hotes. SIR FERDINANDO GORGES, LORD (See ante, p. 21.) It is advisable at this point to make some mention of Sir Ferdinando's son and grandson, to show their connexion with the Province of Maine. I also give some notes taken from the public records. Sir Ferdinando's eldest surviving son John (afterwards Col.) Gorges was born on 23 April, 1593. He was a member of Parliament for county Somerset in 1650, and for Taunton in 1654. He died on 6 April, 1656, and was buried at St. Margaret's, Westminster (his will proved 1 June, 1657). He married first, at St. James's, Clerkenwell, on 31 July, 1628, the Lady Fynes, daughter of the Earl of Lincoln, and secondly Mary, daughter of Sir John Meade, of Wendon Loftus, co. Essex, who died a year after her husband, and was also buried at St. Margaret's, Westminster, on 15 September, 1657. Unlike his father, Col. John Gorges served under Cromwell during the Civil War. He had five children by his second wife, but the only one that will concern us is the eldest, named Ferdinando, after his grandfather. This Ferdinando Anno Dom 1647 2nd son of the Marchioness of Evelyn, in his' Diary,' under date of 4 July, 1671, quotes : "To Council, where we drew up and agreed to a letter to be sent to New England, and made some proposals to Mr. Ferdinando Gorges for his interest in a plantation there." In the State Papers under date of December, 1677, is the following: Lords of Trades and Plantations. Again, under date of October, 1680, occurs the following entry : "Petition of the General Assembly of Maine to the King......The Massachusetts Government, being owners by late purchase from the heirs of Sir their Chief Proprietor, and having notified the oath Ferdinando Gorges, His Majesty's Lieutenant and of allegiance to them......and having letters, and |
