Te a INTRODUCTORY. | iat aad
The Author is deeply sensible of the demerits of the present volume, which has beer: compiled
amid the pressing demands made by the editorial charge of a daily newspaper. Great difficulty has | ee
been experienced in securing information concerning the early settlement of the respective Munici-_
palities, owing to the absence, in most cases, of official data. To avoid the use of explanatory foot is
. notes and references to authorities, quotation marks have been employed, and the works consulted ia
¢ generally acknowledged. . 78 $
j8 | A large amount of space has been devoted to Biographical Sketches; yet in this department the
list is far from being complete, owing to various causes, the chief of which has been lack of
. co-operation upon the part of those most deeply interested.
The utility and benefit of a County History rests primarily upon the facts which are collated
for the use of the general historian: the Author therefore ventures to hope that the HISTORY or
_ Leeps AND GRENVILLE will be productive of a more complete knowledge of the settlement, growth,
a and development of the United Counties.
