Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Richard Ellis, the First Settler of Ashfield, and His Descendants There is a saying that the "first shall be last, and the last first." If this saying has any relation to the making of books it means that the first few pages of a book arc often the last to be written and printed; so with these two pages, which enables the writer, in concluding his work, to make a few remarks thereon. Some four years ago, for reasons which are stated on page 115, he began tracing out the descendants of Richard Ellis, of Ashfield, Massachusetts, his first ancestor in this country. It was supposed, at that time, that this work could be Accomplished in a few months, and the printing of the same, which would probably be limited to a hundred pages, or thereabouts, be completed in a year at most. The unexpected delay has arisen from the tardiness of many in responding to inquiries, the greatly extended nature of the work over what was expected at the outset, and the necessary occupation of the writer in his daily pursuit. As but five hundred copies of the book are printed, and as these are expected to go only to relatives and those who may have a personal interest therein, the writer will not make any extended apology for inflicting upon mankind another book, of which they are now greatly overrun. It is proper in this connection to mention a few of those to whom the reader and writer are under special obligations for information furnished, and without which the work would have been far more imperfect than it now is. Of these Rev. Wm. L. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
