Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Vol. 1: Extracts From American Newspapers; 1776 1777 Without waiting for the completion of the First Series of the New Jersey Archives, it was concluded some years ago to begin the publication of a Second Series, to extend through the Revolutionary period, and to include extracts from American newspapers and several volumes of unpublished manuscript material. The newspaper extracts were secured by diligent gleaning among the files in the principal libraries of the country, and with an impartial disregard of the sentiments of the papers. It is believed they will prove of most fascinating interest, for the vivid pictures they present of contemporary events, and not the less so because of the often distorted views obtained from the want of that perspective to be had only by the lapse of time. Very considerable progress was made by the late General William S. Stryker in preparing this material for the press, and about half of the present volume was printed under his supervision, when he was compelled by ill-health to lay it aside several years ago. When his death occurred, October 29, 1900, the Committee of the New Jersey Historical Society, having charge of this department of its work, felt that it would be a fitting memorial to their beloved associate if this volume were completed and published with his name on the title page, where it most properly belongs. The Legislature of 1901 generously appropriated the funds for the purpose, and the Committee proceeded with the work.
