The tattered margins are avoided, as they reveal the cloth, and impair the antique aspect of the document. The original is slowly disintegrating and wasting away, notwithstanding the efforts to preserve it; and its appearance, as seen to-day, can only be perpetuated in photograph. The warrant is reduced about one-third, and the return one-half.

The Townsend Bishop house and the outlines of Witch Hill are from sketches by O. W. H. UPHAM. The English house is from a drawing made on the spot by J. R. PENNIMAN of Boston, in 1822, a few years before its demolition, for the use of which I am indebted to JAMES KIMBALL, Esq., of Salem. The view of Salem Village and of the Jacobs' house are reduced, by O. W. H. UPHAM, from photographs by E. R. PERKINS.

The map and other engravings, including the autographs, were all delineated by O. W. H. UPHAM.
