, Charles W. Tuttle, A. M. , Rear Adm. George Henry Preble, U. S. N. , the Rev. Lucius R. Paige, D. D. , Mr. Henry H. Edes, Jeremiah Col burn, '. , A, ;M. Henry F. Waters, A. B. , and the Rev. Edmund F. Slafter, A. M All of these have been contributors to the Register, and some have edited it. The mere recital of these names is sufficient to show what learning and talent have aided in conducting the Register. Having paid a tribute to my associates of ^the publishing commit- tee, I will now spea...k briefly of the several editors of the Register. In the course of the thirty-three years during which this work has been published there have been twelve editors, namely, Messrs. Cogswell, Drake, Harris, ShurtleiF, Felt, Farrar, Trask, Whit- more, Nason, Hudson, Hoyt, and the present writer. Just one half of these, the first six in order of service, are dead, while the last six survive. The Rev. William Cogswell, D. D. , the first editor, had charge of the Register one year. He had edited the " American Quarterly Register " and the " New Hampshire Repository, " periodicals large- ly devoted to antiquarian matters.
