The prospectus for the Register was issued in 1845, and in December of that year, Mr. Drake "made a pilgrimage to Plymouth, " in hope to procure patrons at the celebration of the Land- ing, but he met with small success. Yet he persevered, and by the encouragement of Charles Ewer, the first president of the society, he was induced the next year to make a trial, took all the risk, and paid a heavy salary to an editor. This he thought a serious "mis- take, " as the friends, who evinced a warm int...erest in the success of the periodical, were too few to prevent a loss. The year after he assumed the charge alone, as editor and publisher, and since that time has principally conducted this quarterly, to the end of volume xv ; since which it has been published by Mr, Munsell of Albany, and, excepting three numbers, has been edited by Mr. Dean. It has never been a "paying work. " In retiring from the charge of the Register, Mr. Drake, in his preface to vol. Xv, remarks : " For the greater part of fifteen years, in which the work has been in progress, 23 I have been editor and publisher, and I should, in duty to myself, state, that the patronage it received, has never allowed me to bestow that labor upon its editorial department which I should have bestowed under a more prosperous state of its finances.
