Book Description
Excerpt from The Governors Letter-Books, 1818-1834, Vol. 1 The Illinois State Historical Library presents in this volume the first of a new series which will be devoted to the manuscript material illustrating the office of the chief executive of the state. The letter-books here printed are in the office of the secretary of state at Springfield. The rule in printing has been to reproduce faithfully the copies as they were written, as far as the printed page can do so. There has been no attempt, therefore, to correct the spelling or punctuation of the original. In cases of doubt, however, the correct form has been chosen. One important change has been made. The letters were copied in the letter-book as opportunity and fancy dictated, so that order was entirely lacking and in many cases letters were copied twice. We have rearranged the material in chronological order, except in the case of enclosures, and have omitted the second copies, all the more important changes of this character being noticed in the foot notes; and we believe that this will make the volume more useful to students. In closing we wish to make our acknowledgments to Secretary James A. Rose for the courtesies he has extended to us and our assistants, and to Mrs. Jessie Palmer Weber for furnishing the copies of the portraits hat illustrate the volume.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

Excerpt from Governor William Bradford's Letter Book Now further for yourselves; as the power of government is fallen upon you, both by lot and desert (as we are persuaded) so your troubles and cares have been so much the more hitherto and we would not have you think of easing yourselves till you have either made things better, or ended your warfare for it is best that the world afford us these crosses lest we should forget the meditation of heaven.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Worth, Vol. 1 In 1845 a convention of delegates from the counties composing his congressional district nominated him for Congress. He accepted the nomination, entered the field and was beaten by his competitor, Gen. Alfred Dockery. In these words Jonathan Worth described a part of his life when asked to do so by his friend, John H. Wheeler. He never finished it. The fragment is interesting as his own words, but, apart from the fact that only a portion of his life is covered, it is inadequate as a description of a well-rounded life as full of success and honor as that of the subject of this sketch. The Worths came to North Carolina from Nantucket. They were nearly all Quakers. The family was characterized by the qualities of industry, thrift, devotion to principle and the fear of God. Cense quently they were successful, not only in a material way, but also in obtaining the confidence, respect and admiration, if not the liking, of all those with whom they came in contact. They were men of too firm a mould, were too given to forming their own opinions and then living up to them, instead of accepting them ready made, to he liked by all. Like all strong men they had enemies, but none who could say anything to their discredit. It was of this stock that Jonathan Worth was sprung, and of which he was a fair and representative type. His father, Dr. David Worth, was a physician of reputation in his section. His mother was Eunice Gardner, of Guilford county. He was the eldest of twelve children, nine of whom lived to old age.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters to Washington and Accompanying Papers, Vol. 1: 1752-1756 A complete edition of the writings to Washington, given verbatim et literatim from the original letters as received and indorsed by him, supplies not only the sequel to his own writings, but possesses an independent value in exhibiting fully the opinions, designs, and acts of those who were associated with him, and furnishes original facts of history not to be obtained from other sources. The manuscript collection was acquired from George Corbin Washington by purchase under the Acts of Congress approved June 30, 1834, and March 3, 1849, and deposited in the Department of State, Washington, D. C. This, the colonial or ante-revolutionary series, consists almost exclusively of correspondence and papers hitherto unprinted. It begins with the first manuscript in the collection of the "Letters to Washington," and ends with the date of his arrival at Cambridge, July 2, 1775, when he took command of the armies of the United Colonies: that is to say, to the period that has been partially covered by Sparks's correspondence of the American Revolution. The prosecution of this work has received encouragement from many. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
