Excerpt from The Bibliography of Vermont, Or a List of Books and Pamphlets Relating in Any Way to the State: With Biographical and Other Notes This book is in remembrance of Marcus D. Gilman. Made by him as a memorial of others and their work, it now stands by the industry which he wrought in love of his State, by the gift of his children, and by an act of that State which did it as well as him honor, as a worthy and lasting memorial of himself. How it came to have its being in its present shape is shown by the following letter from his daughter, Mrs. Cushman, and her husband, and the act of the Vermont legislature of 1894, authorizing the publication: To the Librarian of the Vermont State Library Montpelier Vt.: Dear Sir: - The "Bibliography of Vermont, or a List of Books and Pamphlets relating in any way to the State, with biographical and other notes, prepared by M.D. Gilman, Montpelier, Vt., " represents much thought and time and labor of its author. The work was done by him during his years of retirement from active business and in love and loyalty to his native State. We, his surviving children, as the only heirs of his beloved wife, Mrs. M. M. Gilman, have in our possession and ownership corrected slips of the whole work as published in 1879-80 in the Argus and Patriot together with the authors additions made from time to time until his decease, January 5, 1889. Feeling that this work is too important to remain inaccessible to those who are interested in the literary achievements of Yermonters, and furthermore desiring that the work should be preserved as a monument to our esteemed father, we hereby present the entire work to the Yermont State Library, in the assurance that it will be safely guarded there, and in the earnest hope that the State will be disposed, in the near future, to make the work more accessible by printing the same.
