Excerpt from The Essex Memorial: For 1836; Embracing a Register of the CountyWE have but few words to say on introducing this little book to the notice of the public. Small as the volume may appear, it is one which has been prepared with much labor and expense. The ground over which we have gone was new, and our progress has been without chart or com pass, so far as any model was concerned. But we have not been without assistance; many gentlemen in the various sections of the County, whose kindness will not be forgotten, have ren dered essential aid, - some by collecting and transmitting useful data, and interesting sketches and facts, - some by the loan of books of refer ence, - and some by pointing out as we visited the various towns, such matters as were deemed most worthy of notice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
