Description

Excerpt from History of Scituate; Massachusetts: From Its First Settlement to 1831We make no apology for publishing even trifling incidents or barren genealogies; of those families which have opened a new world to civilization and religion.It will be seen in the following pages; that we have diligent ly consulted the records of the Town and of the churches; as well as the records of both Plymouth and Massachusetts Colonies; and other works to which we have made occasional reference. We acknowledge the kindly facilities in consulting documents; 810 which we have received from Edward D. Bangs; Esq. Secretary; Rosseter Cotton; Esq. Of Plymouth; Hon. John Davis; Hon. James Savage; Mr. Isaac P. Davis; of Boston; and other gentlemen; whose favours are noticed in the course of the work. We have attempted to correct some mistakes and inaccuracies in a former account of Scituate; published in the Historical Society's papers; A. D. 1816: for which mistakes we may have been; in part; responsible; hav ing furnished to Samuel Davis; Esq. Many of the notes from which that account was compiled but we have been careful to quote authority; whenever we have adverted to the mistakes of any previous writer or compiler. We boast not of the accuracy of this work we only venture to say; that we have endeavoured faithfully to use the materials that have fallen in our way; and that we shall esteem it a favour; for true history's sake; to have our mistakes; in turn; pointed out and corrected by future historians.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
