CONTENTS. |
The Compiler offers these notes to the inhabitants of his native town,in the hope that they may be in some small degree useful andentertaining in discussions relating to the history and rights of thisthriving place. He claims no merit for this performance, and neitherdoes he write from the vanity of being considered an author, but is onlyactuated by a desire to rescue from oblivion such facts as may beinteresting to his fellow-citizens. The Compiler would consider himselfguilty of ingratitude, if he did not in this public manner, acknowledgethe obligations he rests under from the kind assistance afforded himwhilst collecting these notices, by Jeremiah Johnson, AbrahamVanderveer, Silas Wood, and John Doughty, Esqrs.
