Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of North Carolina, Vol. 1: From 1584 to 1851; Compiled From Original Records, Official Documents, and Traditional Statements; With Biographical Sketches of Her Distinguished Statesmen, Jurists, Lawyers, Soldiers, Divines, Etc Report of the Joint Select Committee of the Library of the General Assembly of North Carolina, at the last session(1851), through Hon. Wm. H.Washington (Chairman), Senator from Craven County. The Committee cannot but regard the work of Col. Wheeler as a patriotic and praiseworthy effort to rescue from oblivion important facts of our early history, and to elevate the character and standing of his native State; and, as such, would cordially recommend it to the favorable consideration, not only of the legislature, but of the people of the State at large. Extract from a letter of Hon. David L.Swain, President of the University of North Carolina, to Rev. Francis L.Hawks, D.D., LL.D., of New York. Chapel Hill, February 22, 1851.The Sketches of Col. Wheeler, in relation to this State, contain a great amount of useful and minute information, chiefly statistical and biographical, connected with every county in the State. Extract from a letter of Hon. R.M. Pearson, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. Raleigh, March 1, 1851.I have had a conversation with the other two Judges, upon the subject of the Sketches of North Carolina, which you are about to publish. We concur in thinking that such a work will be highly interesting to every citizen of the State; useful as a book of reference; and will rescue from oblivion many facts that ought not to be forgotten. Extract from a letter of Hon. George Bancroft, author of History of the United States. New York, March 15, 1851.I look forward to the publication of your work with great interest, in the hope that you may fill the gap in the history of your patriotic State. This is a work of which every son of North Carolina ought to be proud. Spirit of the Age, Raleigh. This work will be valuable, and ought to be in the hands of every North Carolinian. Patriot, Greensboro. Too little is known of our history. When the important information that Col. Wheeler will impart, can be procured, every family ought to own a copy of this work. Mountain Banner, Rutherford ton. We hesitate not to say, that this work will turn out one of the most valuable books to the citizens of the State ever yet published. Watchman, Salisbury.
