Excerpt from The History of Norway

The several religious societies will accept my thanks for their aid generously furnished me, and with my warm thanks, a warmer wish, that our Heavenly Father may always con tinue to smile propitiously on them, and fit them, more than ever, for the full enjoyment of a blessed immortality.

To the officers of the Militia (i can 't find any new, but I have found the old books) I present my thanks for the old records and all the officers of the Militia are entitled to much praise for the correctness with which the books have been kept. To be sure, we all desire to see the time when men shall learn war no more, but perhaps it may be well to keep the tools ready for fear they may be wanted.

Excerpt from The History of Norway

I suppose I must write a preface before I enter one step on my work, and tell why I am going to write a book, and what I am going to write about. The why is because many of our good citizens wish for such a work; but the what is more than I can tell, as I may feel very differently to-morrow from what I do to-day; and therefore I am unable to tell in what kind of a channel my ideas may take a notion to flow. But first, I intend to give as minute an account of the early settlement of the town as the best data in my possession will enable me to do; and also of the expenditures of the town for the benefit of its inhabitants; the immigration of new settlers since the commencement of the settlement; the accidents, and remarkable incidents, that have taken place; historical sketches, narrative and anecdote, occasionally interspersed with just such ideas as happen to run in my noddle while writing. I shall not attempt to tell a good story, or to crack a good joke, for the sake of producing a good hearty laugh; for such things always hit somewhere; but I am bound to get along without running against anybody, if I can help it. I intend to tell the truth as far as I tell anything: I shall "naught extenuate, nor set down aught in malice," and intend to wholly avoid bringing any "railing accusation" against any one.
