Excerpt from Journal of Richard Mather, 1635: His Life and Death, 1670 The other portion - the Life and Death of Richard ti'rough professedly not written by his son Increase Mather, was, as will be seen, originally sent forth under his name and sanction, in the form of a dedication To the Church and Inhabitants of Dorchester in N. E. He was the youngest son of Richard, was settled as a minister in Boston, was President of Harvard College, and father of the no less celebrated Cotton Mather. This is a reprint from the first edition, published in Cambridge in 1670, a copy of which has been kindly loaned by J. Wingate Thornton, Esq., of Boston - to whom the reader is also indebted for the inter esting and valuable notes at the end of this volume, con taining some new historical facts. We have endeavored in this, as in the other volumes of our humble Collections, to imitate, to a reasonable extent, the orthography, punctuation, s5c. Of the originals. We do this, both in accordance with our own individual partiality, and as being in consonance with the desire of our Society to gather up and preserve the vestiges of the Pilgrims as nearly as possible in the state in which they left them.
