Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Thousand New Hampshire Notables: Brief Biographical Sketches of New Hampshire Men and Women, Native or Resident, Prominent in Public, Professional, Business, Educational, Fraternal or Benevolent Work It is not claimed for this little volume that it is a complete "Who´s Who" for the State of New Hampshire. The purpose of the compiler has been to bring together, in compact form, so as to be readily accessible for reference in newspaper offices, libraries and elsewhere, brief biographical sketches of one thousand representative New Hampshire men and women, native or resident. Undoubtedly a thousand more, equally worthy of mention, might have been included, had time and opportunity permitted, and it is to be hoped that another volume, embracing the same, may be hereafter brought out by some interested person. As in "Who´s Who" in America and New England, the design has been to include only living subjects, and this purpose has been departed from in only two or three exceptional cases. Nevertheless quite a number of those whose sketches are presented have died since they were arranged for and printed, the fact of death in each case so far as known being noted in the "Addenda," along with material facts, developing in regard to other subjects since their sketches were put in type, and the noting of certain errors which have been detected in some cases, while doubtless others have been overlooked. It is practically impossible to avoid mistakes, typographical and otherwise, in a work of this kind; but it is hoped that this volume is as free therefrom as is usually the case. The pages devoted to "Addenda and Errata" are inserted before the body of the work, and attention thereto should be duly given. The abbreviations used are simple and readily understood, such as "b." for born, "d." for died, "s." for son, "dau." for daughter, "m." for married, and the customary abbreviations for names of states, orders, organizations, societies, etc. It has not appeared necessary to insert a table of abbreviations. The printing of the volume having been commenced as soon as material came to hand and was properly prepared, the sketches are necessarily not arranged in alphabetical order. To have done that would have involved delay until the last sketch was procured before printing was commenced, and a consequent delay of many months more before the appearance of the work. No inconvenience results however, since an alphabetical index of subjects has been prepared, reference to which will enable one to find any particular sketch as readily as would have been the case with an alphabetical arrangement of sketches.
