Title continues: "who, at the Restoration, 1660, fled to America, and were secreted and concealed, in Massachusetts and Connecticut, for near thirty years; with an account of Mr. Theophilus Whale, of Narragansett, supposed to have been also one of the judges." Signed by Ellery on the title page, with the date, 1795. Extensively annotated and commented upon in the margins, Ellery takes issue with many of Stiles's comments about contemporary events. Stiles was President of Yale College from 1778 until 1795. A Member of the Continental Congress from 1776 until 1785, William Ellery was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
