Originally published in 1936 as a contribution to the three hundredth anniversary of the state's settlement by English Colonists, Rhode Island Boundaries, 1636-1936, is herewith reprinted to bring it to the wider audience the work deserves. In it, Providence architect and self-styled historian John Hutchins Cady provides a detailed description of the evolution of Rhode Island's state, county, and municipal borders. In 1771 the Rhode Island General Assembly sent the young Henry Marchant to London to press for collection of a debt that Britain had owed the colony since 1756.
