Excerpt from Vital Records of Rhode Island, 1636-1850, Vol. 18: First Series Births, Marriages and Deaths, A Family Register for the PeopleThe Compiler is indeed thankful that he is enabled to present the Eighteenth Volume of the vital record OF rhode island, which he believes is fully as interesting as any of the preceding volumes. The matter printed in this volume is a continuation of the Marriages and Deaths taken from the first Democratic news paper of Providence.The General Assembly have again shown their usual courtesy and have extended us the usual favors, for all of which we are deeply grateful.We are again under deep obligation to our friends who have once more rallied to our assistance. We are pleased with the many kind words from scholars Of learning and experience that have come to our knowledge. Our ambition has been and will continue to be in the future to so continue our conduct as to be still more worthy the continuance of such favors.In reading our notes please to keep in mind if the Death or Marriage date carries before it the name of this paper, it means that the said Death or Marriage is announced in that issue, other wise it is the real date of the occurrence.Today there are but two newspapers in the State that have a continuous existence back of 1830. These two are the Newport Mercury, founded by Franklin in 1758, and the Providence Jour nal, founded in 1820. All other newspapers in the State went out of existence before 1834. Of those that had an existence of a score of years or more we have printed all but two, one of which will form a large part of our next volume (xix) There were several attempts at newspaper publishing, which papers ¿ourished a few years and then died. When these aie printed our newspaper items to 1834 will be at an end.We close by trusting our readers will find their usual pleasure while perusing our new and latest volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
