It can now no longer be said that the richest collections of materials for American history are in foreign lands, shut up in the libraries of princes or of curious scholars, or sealed away in the Plantation OiRces of the British gov- ernment. They are here in the heart of New-England, where they have been gathered by the munificence of private citizens, and the enlightened agency of our literary institutions, and here they must remain forever. The numerous Historical Societies which have been f...ormed in this country, furnish also another most gratify- ing proof of the growing interest in all that pertains to American History. The Massachusetts Historical So- ciety was founded in 1790. During the period which has since elapsed, it has published twenty-seven volumes of its Collections. It has accumulated, by its researches, 16 a library of books and manuscripts of immense value, and has set on foot inquiries and historic labors, whose influ- ence has been felt in every part of the land. At later periods, similar societies have been established in the others of the New-England States, in New- York, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Georgia, each one of which has contributed something for the illustration or the enriching of our local or general history.
