Excerpt from Local Sketches and Legends Pertaining to Bucks and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania
The object of the author has been to bring together, for this work, his lighter and more entertaining articles either heretofore published or specially prepared as illustrative of olden-time customs, designed to show rather the bright side of human life, and while amusing should also be instructive. Though they can not all be regarded as of an historical character, yet they are founded on fact. Most of the subjects have been familiar and written from his own personal knowl edge. In some cases, from the remoteness of the period, the proper names have been supplied, which cannot fail to give increased interest.
