Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Queens County It being the wish of my friends that I should republish the "Annals of Queens County" in book form, I have consented, and now present to the public the history of my native county, begging the indulgence of my readers. This volume is submitted to the public without claiming for it that it is entirely free from mistakes; such total exemption can hardly be expected of a work of this kind. But that the present work is as free from any such of date or fact as the utmost care could effect is confidently believed. It might, indeed, in its details, have been more particular; but the aim of the writer has been to avoid prolixity and offence to persons or families so far as obligation to truth would permit. The constant detriment, and sometimes destruction of public and family records, in the form of letters, and other manuscripts and private papers urges the importance of preserving, in a more durable form, what may be proper for the public eye, and of most interest. It has been well remarked that, in treasuring up the memorials of the past we best manifest our regard for futurity. It is not to be expected that the affairs of a single county will be greatly interesting to the public generally, but to such, at least, as are connected with Queens County this volume will, we trust, be of some interest. They surely will not regret that a portion of its history is rescued from oblivion. Even in regard to those portions of the history of more recent date, such as shall be on the stage fifty or one hundred years from now, will have feelings similar to our own as regards the long past. The writer would have been much gratified could he have given a fuller view of men of distinguished reputation who acted their several parts well. If omissions occur in delineating the characters of the departed, the unavoidable absence of the requisite information must be the apology. Some of the most meritorious may have been passed by, whilst others less conspicuous or useful in their day have been noticed. It is much easier to regret necessity than to supply the remedy. If some land-marks have been set up to encourage and aid future research, then this attempt will not have been in vain. The writer has endeavored honestly, unbiased by prejudice, to pursue the one object he had originally in view, with a determined inquiry for the truth in narration of events and the relation of facts.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Queens County, New York: With Illustrations, Portraits, and Sketches of Prominent Families and Individuals It has heretofore been possible for the scholar, with leisure and a comprehensive library, to trace out the written history of his county by patient research among voluminous public documents and many volumes, some times old and scarce; but these sources of information and the time to study them are not at the command of most of those who are intelligently interested in local history, and there are many unpublished facts to be res cued from the failing memories of the oldest residents, who would soon have carried their information with them to the grave; and others to be obtained from the citizens best informed in regard to the various interests and institutions of the county which should be treated of in giving its history.
