Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts The compilation of the materials for the following pages was commenced at the suggestion of an antiquarian friend, with the design of furnishing a brief sketch of the history of the old town of Rehoboth, for the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. But finding the field I had chosen, more fertile in historical materials than my most sanguine expectations had at first anticipated, I pushed my enquiries with considerable zeal; and, encouraged by the example of several town histories which had recently made their appearance, determined, if I found sufficient patronage to warrant the expense of publication, to extend my sketch to a more complete history, and publish it in a separate volume. With this intention, after I had collected pretty copious materials, I issued a prospectus, and commenced procuring subscribers, promising them the work within a few months. There has been, however, a delay of more than a year beyond the time first specified; but it will, it is hoped, be received as a sufficient apology, that, besides having underrated, at the time, the labor of throwing the materials into form for the press, I have been constantly endeavoring to add to their stock; and so successfully, too, as to be able to present to the reader more than fifty pages beyond the number promised in the prospectus. In introducing this volume, a few words are requisite respecting the principles adopted, and the method pursued, in writing it, and the sources whence the materials have been drawn.
