Book Description

Excerpt from The Richardson Memorial: Comprising a Full History and Genealogy of the Posterity of the Three Brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas Richardson, Who Came From England, and United With Others in the Foundation of Woburn, Massachusetts, in the Year 1641 The compiler of this volume has felt during nearly his Whole life-time, that no knowledge, and no human pursuit is Of any real value, except as it contributes to the improvement of the human character, and to the advancement of the true and final welfare of mankind. Every man is sent into the world for some important purpose; every man is bound to make the most Of himself, and to promote, as far as possible, the virtue and ultimate good of all with whom in any way he may be connected. This motive, the compiler does not hesitate to say, has been his governing principle in preparing the volume now before the reader, and in the five or Six other Genealogical works which bear the imprint of his name.
