Adams, sergeant-at-arms, who approved it only a few days before his death. The first edition was printed by order of the General Court in 1901, the second in 1905 and the present edition, the third, is now published under authority of chapter 11, Resolves of 1907. If any inac curacies are discovered, the author will be very grateful if they may be pointed out. The book is arranged in four parts. In the first it has been the endeavor to mention briefly the principal alterations in the State House since its erection in 1795. The second guides the visitor to the places of interest in and about the building. The third part is confined to the political and mili tary record of those in whose honor a bust, oil painting or statue has been placed in the capitol. The fourth contains a list of the departments. I am very happy to take this opportunity of ex tending my thanks to Mr. David T. Remington. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
