The volume begins on 28 January 1803 with a "Copy of original proceedings to Nathaniel Peabody, Esq. one of the Board of Trustees of Atkinson Academy, in the state of New Hampshire," consisting of a letter, signed by Stephen Peabody, William Cogswell, and Peter Clement (1740-1815), requesting Nathaniel Peabody call a meeting of the Board of Trustees so as "... to vote & act upon the several matters ..." including making rules, regulations, and ordinances; electing and appointing all officers; establishing a method for calling meetings; electing and appointing members to the board to fill vacancies; and discussing the construction and completion of a building to be used by the academy. A notification and request for a meeting was made by Nathaniel Peabody to the members of the board on 3 February 1803. Adopted during the 20 June 1815 meeting was a constitution for the board and bylaws for the academy. The four articles of the constitution concerned the annual meeting, the principle instructor, vacations, and rules and regulations to be observed by the students of the academy (e.g., attendance, morality and religion, bylaws of the preceptors). The meetings usually consisted of mundane matters (e.g., elections of officers, appointments of committees, resignations, elections of new members, appointments of preceptors, etc.). Toward the end of the volume is a "List of Apparatus" (1 p.), of mostly scientific items, and a "Catalogue of Books contained in the Atkinson Academy Library" (15 p.). The volume also includes lists of books donated to the library by such people as Rev. Dr. Joseph Barlow Felt (1789-1869), Daniel Appleton White (1776-1861), Robert Sharp Davis (1811-1874), and William Smith Peabody (1818-1877). The back flyleaf and inside back cover contains a list of "Preceptors of Atkinson Academy, as ascertained from the records, and other sources." This list contains the names of the preceptors and the dates each held the position, for the period 1803 to 1917. The folder contains miscellaneous items, including a newspaper clipping, several sets of meeting notes, a typewritten description of some of the land surrounding the Academy, a rental agreement, and a letter.

Lincoln, son of Levi Lincoln, Sr. (1749-1829), and younger brother of Mass. governor Levi Lincoln, Jr. (1782-1868), was a lawyer, historian, and statesman. His many accomplishments include: writing a History of Worcester, published in 1837, editing the Worcester newspaper, the National AEgis, 1838 to 1841, and serving a five-year term as a member of the Mass. House of Representatives, 1835 to 1840. He was a member of the American Antiquarian Society, the Mass. Historical Society and was also active in Whig Party politics, serving on state and county Whig committees. The Massachusetts Collection contains documents, records, correspondence, charts, notes and miscellaneous other papers which reflect Lincoln's involvement as a historical researcher and antiquarian, as well as his career as a lawyer and politician. Much of the collection was arranged by Lincoln personally and many of the notes are in his handwriting. Three of the manuscript boxes contain papers relating to politics and government. Included under this heading are: portions of the first Charter of the Mass. Colony conferred by King Charles in 1643, a 1660 letter from King Charles II to Governor John Endicott expressing support for Endicott's leadership, a reply of Charles II to a petition by the Mass. General Court, and the 1686 commission of Sir Edmund Andros by James II. The charter and letters have been printed in Thomas Hutchinson's Collection of Original Papers, while the commission appears in Volume VII of the third series of the Collections of the Mass. Historical Society. The General Court records contain copies of numerous acts, minutes of several General Court Sessions, papers pertaining to boundary settlements, statistics of representation, and documents concerning colonial magistrates. In addition, there is a 1750 document which lists fees to be charged by public officers for their services, as established by the General Court. A similar document exists for 1752. Bank statements and statistics for the years 1803 to 1814 appear in a chart as well as in several printed editions; Senate documents include several resolutions, proceedings notes, members lists with vote tallies and miscellaneous other papers; papers relating to State expenditures investigate the finances of the state and the possibility of reducing expenses by lowering the salaries of public officials in order to cut state spending. Several charts of tax payments (one for taxes no. 6 and 7, 1791) and land and property assessments are contained in the Taxation and Assessment folder; Gubernatorial declarations, copies of letters reporting military conditions from 1696 to 1758, notes and accounts of state prisons from 1825 to 1828, and an [1869?] chart of school attendance are included with miscellaneous treasury receipts and a chart of Treasury Bills emitted in the Province from 1700 to 1738; the Judicial papers consist of miscellaneous notes on various court issues; including the case of Mass. versus the Pejepscot Proprietors, 1812, and a small docket book of the Supreme Judicial Court, with records made in numerous towns from 1780 to 1788. The Miscellaneous Historical Notes contain two charts of town settlement in Mass. beginning in 1629, notes on the seal of Massachusetts, an account entitled "Phenomina" which describes natural occurrences in the 17th and 18th centuries, and an essay on Fashions in Wearing Apparel in the 17th century, written by Rev. Joseph Barlow Felt (1789-1869). Other notes detail events and facts taken from the Boston Evening Post, and other (unknown) sources. They cover a variety of subjects. In addition to the Militia folder containing militia returns, 1788-1818, officer's commissions, 1810-1823 and miscellaneous papers, there is a muster roll of Company C of the Second Regiment, 1898, and various muster rolls of Massachusetts soldiers from 1722 to 1776. They are filed in the oversize "M" mss. box. The Military Court Records, 1813-1822, pertain to cases from the Sixth and Seventh Divisions of the militia. An octavo volume of militia records, 1822-1830 contains General & Division orders as well as reports of the Committee of Council on Military Affairs for the Sixth Division of the militia. Folio volumes #1 and #3 are similar record books for the Third, Sixth and Seventh Divisions and Folio volume #2 includes rosters of the officers of the Third and Sixth Divisions, 1831-1859. In 1837 Governor Edward Everett appointed William Lincoln to organize and see to the publication of the Journals of each Provincial Congress of Massachusetts. Manuscript boxes #4 and #5 contain correspondence and papers gathered from Massachusetts towns in response to a request by Lincoln for information. Most of the materials are excerpts transcribed from town records at the time of the Revolution. (Original documemts of the period have been removed from the Massachusetts Collection.) Transcripts of the Worcester County Convention, 1774-1775, and copies of letters indicating the votes of the towns in relation to the Declaration of Independence are also included. A portion of Lincoln's manuscript copy of the printed edition and an index are filed following the Journal papers (Another portion of the manuscript is to be found in the oversize manuscript box "M.") The Journals of Each Provinicial Congress of Massachusetts in 1774 and 1775, and of the Committee of Safety, with Appendix was published by Dutton and Wentworth of Boston in 1838. Manuscript boxes #6 and #7 contain papers and correspondence relating to three Whig Party Conventions which were held in Worcester in 1839 and 1840. William Lincoln was active in organizing and participating in these meetings and he preserved these records. Numerous letters from local Whig organizations throughout Massachusetts reveal the rhetoric and mood of Whig politicians of the period. Also included in the Whig Party Papers are numerous letters addressed to William Lincoln's brother, John Waldo Lincoln (1787-1852) and Stephen Salisbury II (1798-1884). They are responses to Lincoln's and Salisbury's requests, as officers of the Worcester County Whig Committee, that local Whig Party members make concerted efforts in the Campaign of 1844. The Massachusetts Collection also contains an octavo volume, The Massachusetts Gazetteer. In it are extensive statistics of taxes paid by each town in 1642 and 1788, township populations in Maine and Massachusetts in 1790, lists of proportions of polls to the white population in several states of the Union, a list of towns with a population of 2000 or over in 1810, town locations, and miscellaneous other charts and information. Folder 5 in Box 2 contains a printed petition, and accompanying documents, of "sundry" women of Dorchester, Mass., who asked for a repeal of all laws of the commwealth making distinctions on the basis of color. The documents disclose that the General Court investigated who started the petition and authorized its presentation to the General Court. The legislative investigation created additional controversy.

The material of this collection encompasses over 150 years of American history and many items of interest besides those documenting the life and works of John Gorham Palfrey, who is its central figure. A few of these may be briefly mentioned here. The papers of William Palfrey include letters between John Wilkes and the Sons of Liberty and William Palfrey's personal correspondence with Wilkes at the time of the latter's imprisonment in 1769-1770, including Palfrey's description of the Boston Massacre. William Palfrey's business account and financial papers are extensive and range in subject from accounts of trade with Virginia in 1763 to the disposition of funds of the Continental Army during the time Palfrey was Pay Master General. His close association and correspondence with John Hancock should be noted. Several interesting items pertain to the dispute between Hancock and the Boston printer, John Mein, which resulted in Thomas Longman's suit against Mein and the latter's imprisonment. The papers of John Palfrey deal mainly with his business affairs and the management of his plantation at Attakapas. However, several letters by his sons, Edward, William Taylor, and Henry William give first-hand accounts of battles in the war of 1812. Letters to John Gorham Palfrey from over 1000 corespondents form the largest single section in the collection. Of special importance are 377 letters from Jared Sparks and 148 letters from Charles Sumner.EnglishHoughton LibraryAutograph File, L, 1641-1976.Autograph File, L, 1641-1976.11 boxes (5.5 linear ft.)The Autograph File is an alphabetically arranged collection of single letters, manuscripts, and drawings received from various sources at various times.
