Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lippincotts in England and America The facts which constitute the body of this work and give it value were collected by the late James S. Lippincott, during a period of over forty years, extending from 1840 to 1883. Mr. Lippincott was earnestly engaged in this Genealogical work up to within a short time of his death (March 17, 1885), and he had always hoped to publish the results of his investigations in a volume at once worthy of his own labors and the varied record of the Lippincott Family. The fact that this desire has at last been in some measure realized is largely due to the generous appreciation of Mr. James J. Goodwin, of New York, son-in-law of the late J. B. Lippincott, of Philadelphia. As early as the year 1849, the late James S. Lippincott, in a letter sent hither and thither in search of genealogical information, said, "Having for several years been interested in the collection of facts respecting the Lippincott Family, I have been encouraged to seek further information relative to the origin and history of its early members, and it is with the hope that such may be elicited that I have addressed thee. Though much has already been collected, all that has come to my knowledge is confined to one branch, and the history of others, comprising much the most numerous portion, remains unknown." In this same letter Mr. Lippincott stated very clearly the object of his search as it had then defined itself in his own mind, as follows: "If a proper interest should be manifested by the ready assistance afforded the undertaking, a connected account of the Family since the arrival of its progenitor in this country will be prepared, prefaced by the information already obtained, and that may be hereafter procured respecting those of the name resident in Great Britain, the History of the Name, its origin, adoption, variations, &c., with proofs of the same from judicial and other records."
