Excerpt from History of the Lehigh Valley: Containing a Copious Selection of the Most Interesting Facts, Traditions, Biographical Sketches, Anecdotes, Etc;, Etc;, Relating to Its History and Antiquities
We must acknowledge that the work is confined mainly to a statement of facts, which, from the space a work of this kind has necessarily limited us, has precluded, in a great degree, grace of style; but we hope the solid merit of authenticity will compensate the reader for some abruptness of diction. We would be ungrate ful to neglect to acknowledge our indebtedness to several friends and correspondents who have rendered important aid during the progress of the work. They have had a large share in rescuing from oblivion many interesting facts, and In making up what will be at least a curious contribution to the history of the State. To the authors, both ancient and contemporary, from whom extracts have been made, credit has generally been given in the body of the work.
