Book Description

Excerpt from New Hampshire as It Is: In Three Parts; Part I. A Historical Sketch of New Hampshire; Part II. A Gazetteer of New Hampshire; Part III. A General View of New Hampshire The present work was undertaken with the de sign of furnishing as great an amount of reliable and important information concerning the past history and the present condition of new hamp shire as the means at our command and the limits assigned us would allow. In the historical sketch we have aimed to give a brief synopsis of the leading events in the history of our state, from its first settlement to the adoption Of the federal constitution. In this we have generally followed Dr. Belknap, not, however, without reference to other authorities, among which may be mentioned Barstow's History of New Hampshire; the New Hampshire Historical Col lections Adams's Annals of Portsmouth; together with various histories of the United States. The gazetteer was prepared entirely by George Ticknor, Esq., of Claremont, to whose preface we would refer the reader for further information con cerning that part of the work. The third part embraces a variety of subjects, which we deem it unnecessary to mention in detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
