INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This Parish List of Deaths, recorded by Rev. William 
 Bentley during his ministry in Salem, has been prepared 
 and edited by Mr. Ira J. Patch, of Salem, the well-known 
 genealogist. 
 
 Mr. Bentley was an eminent scholar, a zealous antiqua- 
 rian, a revered and honored minister, and indefatigably 
 industrious in collecting and recording anjiihing relating 
 to his studies, his pursuits, his parish and his life. He was 
 born in Boston, June 22, 1759 ; a graduate of Harvard in 
 the class of 1777, and from which he received the honor- 
 ary degree of D.D., in 1819, ordained over the East 
 church and society in Salem, 1783. Died Dec. 29, 1819. 
 
 His great collection of manuscripts have, since his death, 
 been deposited by his executor, in the archives of the 
 American Antiquarian Society. 
 
 The printing of them, or a selection of them, carefully 
 edited, would be a valuable contribution to our historical 
 literature.
