Paperback, [EAN: 9781332055319], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], 2017-04-30, Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Gathered Sketches From the Early History of New Hampshire and Vermont: Containing Vivid and Interesting Accounts of a Great Variety of the Adventures of Our Forefathers, and of Other Incidents of Olden Time, Original and Selected Gentle reader, you have before you a collection of Sketches, gathered from the early history of New Hampshire and Vermont; or, perhaps we ought to say, a selection, for the first period of the existence of these two states is a deep and copious mine, from which the diligent student may exhume any number of incidents, which it would be well worth while, both as a matter of curiosity and of information, to place before the reading public. In this selection you will find incidents both grave and gay, both, pathetic and amusing; some of them of considerable historical importance, and others which some persons might think almost trifling. But it is intended that the following pages shall illustrate as fully as possible the character of the times in which our ancestors lived. Their life, as is ours, was made up of trifles and weightier things combined, and the best illustration is that in which minor matters have their due proportion. We hope they will not be found too numerous in this attempt. The Editor takes no credit to himself for his portion of the work. His work has been, for the most part, merely to select and arrange, adding here and there a note or a prefatory remark to clear up the meaning of the text, or to give additional information. Such articles as have been taken from connected histories have of course been altered to make them clear and intelligible when standing by themselves.
