Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Vol. 8 The State of Connecticut issued in 1889 through the Adjutant General's office the splendid volume edited by Prof. Henry P. Johnston, entitled Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution. Later investigations have brought to light new rolls and additional information not contained in that volume. It is these new rolls which are here printed to serve as a supplement to the volume issued by the State. This volume of Rolls and Lists is published under the pro visions of a recent special Act of the General Assembly making an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars to the Connecticut Historical Society; one of the purposes specifically named in this act being to publish its rolls of soldiers in the revolutionary and colonial wars, not heretofore printed. Another provision is that the Society shall deposit in the State Library three hundred copies of each catalogue, report, or other work published under this act, to be disposed of by the State Librarian. This is the third publication issued under the provisions of this act, and the first important work so issued.
