FOREWORD. On May 6, 1896, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of thesettlement of New London, Connecticut, there was laid in that citythe cornerstone of a monument to John Winthrop the Younger. PartIII, Volume II, of the Records and Papers of the New London CountyHistorical Society contains a detailed account of the celebration heldat that time, and the preliminary arrangements for it. In order toshow the connected history of the movement from its beginning in189s to the completion of the statue, ten years later, the following sum-mary of important facts, taken largely from The Day of May 6, 1905,is given. The bronze statue unveiled today is not wholly a memorial to JohnWinthrop, the founder of New London, as is the general impression,but is erected by the State in memory of John Winthrop the Younger,one of the earlier governors, who served the colony well by securingfrom King Charles the Second of England, the charter which gaveConnecticut so much more liberty than was accordedrecordspapersofn01newl
