\ETTER BOOK and Abstracl of Out
Services:9
The Diary appears to have been planned
with a more limited scope than it actually
assumed. Not only does it embrace, in accordance with its title, a memorandum of tetters written and
received by Dr. MacSparran and a record of services held by
him outside the reputed limits of S. Paul's Parish, in Narragansett, as for example, at Coeset, Conanicut, Old Warwick
and Westerly, but it also notes many of the daily incidents of
his domestic life, the social events ofthe vicinage and, although
to a somewhat limited extent, items of public interest.
2 "May 29th."
No year is here indicated, but the entry of August 1st, following, shows it to have been 1743.
3 "P Restoration"
The Restoration of King Charles II. to the English throne.
"The Act 12, Car. II., Cap. 14, appointed May zgtb to be
observed with public thanksgiving for a double reason, as
being the birthday of Charles II. as well as the day of his
Restoration."—Blunt's Annotated Book of Common Prayer.
London. 1869. p. 578.
4 "Mr. Plant of Newbury."
The Rev. Matthias Plant was a missionary of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts and was settled at Newbury, in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, from
1721 to 1753, the year of his death. It is noticeable that his
ministry was, thus, nearly conterminous with that of Doftor
MacSparran, in Narragansett.
The chief highway between New York and Conneclicut, on
the one hand, and Providence and Boston, on the other, was,
in the Doftor's day, the Post Road, more anciently called the
Pequot Path ofthe Indians, passing lengthwise along the ridge
of what is now MacSparran Hill, above and a little to the
