E. B. Huntington History of Stamford, Connecticut

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In doing so, I could wish its omissions and its faults were fewer: yet I am most of all content, that Whatever of either are noticed, were unavoidable. For one omission, ren dered necessary both by the size and the expense of the volume, and still more by the merits of the subject itself, demanding fuller and more careful treatment, I trust my readers will find the best possible compensation in the forthcoming stamford soldiers' memorial. Of its mechanical execution, the History will Speak for itself. For the few typograph ical errors here found, the considerate reader will surely find large amends in the general accuracy of the work; and both the author and his townsmen have just occasion for pride, that our local press has been able to send forth so large a volume, to which so few exceptions can be taken.
