Excerpt from Sketches of the New Jersey Historical Society There has been no attempt at originality or exhaustive research in these pages. They were written some time ago during the hurry of a busy life and for the local press - where such qualities are not insisted upon. It was thought then that their appearance would stimulate interest in the Historical Society and call attention to its needs - especially the pitiable lack of anything like suitable quarters, which compels the heaping together in crowded confusion of priceless collections, and subjects them at all times to total loss by fire. Several members of the Society read the articles as they appeared, and were good enough to praise them and advised their collection in a more permanent form. What their kindness urged their liberality made possible, and thus a series of newspaper clippings has become a pamphlet. Only a few alterations have been made in the transition, and now, as when they first appeared, the only effort has been to bring to the notice of the public some of the more striking of the splendid collections.
