PREFACE

AN EXAMINATION of this volumie by subscribers will reveal made in newspaper files, early French and Indian records, that a vast extent of original ‘research for material has been public documents and private memoranda of various kinds. The object has been to comipress into the pages, even at the partial expense of finished literarv style, interesting and valuable data concerming the county so far as space would allow. In order to do this, and to show our appreciation of friendly and considerate treatiment and reasolnable patronage, we have extended the number ofpages iore than five hundred beyond what was planned at theoutset. It will le seen that we have saved from. permanent loss thousands of interesting items usually overlooked or disregarded by local historians. Thus a permanent foundation, which can be elaborated Cand ilm uproved by subsequent writers, has been laid for t future perfect county history. -Generally, statistical tables and routine p:loceedings have been avoided, a.nd a narrative form hasbeen adopted. The book necessarily contains errors, though it is believed that, owing to the great care exercised, they will be found to be comparatively few. The publishers stand ready, as is their custom, to correct all such by a special errata sheet to be sent to subscribers to be pasted in the books. As a. whole, we feel confident that our subscribers, who have our thanks. for their patronage, will appreciate this fine volume.
