Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scannell´s New Jersey´s First Citizens and State Guide Genealogies: Biographies and Portraits of the Notable Living Man and Women of New Jersey With Informing Glimpses Into the State´s History and Affairs These pages present an authoritative list of The Firsts, hi their several lines of activity, among the ranking people of New Jersey. It is the first attempt ever made to give the State this something she has long needed. Enterprising sons have provided other states that approach New Jersey in dignity, wealth and importance, with their separate rolls of honor; it is high time New Jersey were provided with hers. The State owes it to herself to pause to rear her Hall of Fame to those among her people who, in the sum of (heir endeavors, are contributing so much to her aggrandizement; those who are carrying her standards so far aloft are equally entitled to the recognition. New Jerseys First Citizens comes to fill the void in the literature of the state. A work of this kind must needs explore all the fields of decent effort, be cosmopolitan in its reach and endlessly variegated in its topics. It must be something quite unlike a social register, nor stop to take account of names that are never found outside of check books. Social distinction and riches have come to some as the perquisite of their greatness in the loftier paths of endeavor; but society and wealth are not the glory of the citizenship here depicted. Neither by itself could command a line of recognition in these pages. Achievement alone has been the test of eligibility for admission here. New Jerseys First Citizens is dedicated to the gifted men and women who have forged their way to the front in doing things that make for honor, welfare and progress who have helped to make of New Jersey what she is and of her citizenship what it is the leaders, in their several specialties, among the useful people of the commonwealth. And I am surprised to know how many of these make their homes among us. This work was undertaken, of course, with a knowledge of the State that enabled me to sense the splendor of its citizenship; but I did not realize how splendid it is till I was deep in the details of this enterprise. The pages of a work three times the size of this would scarcely make possible the tribute that is due to all who have earned it. The space limitations that confine me to so few where there are so many, is a matter of sincere regret. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
