Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Stamford, Connecticut: From Its Settlement in 1641, to the Present Time, Including Darien, Which Was One of Its Parishes Until 1820 In doing so, I could wish its omissions and its faults were fewer: yet I am most of all content, that Whatever of either are noticed, were unavoidable. For one omission, ren dered necessary both by the size and the expense of the volume, and still more by the merits of the subject itself, demanding fuller and more careful treatment, I trust my readers will find the best possible compensation in the forthcoming stamford soldiers' memorial. Of its mechanical execution, the History will Speak for itself. For the few typograph ical errors here found, the considerate reader will surely find large amends in the general accuracy of the work; and both the author and his townsmen have just occasion for pride, that our local press has been able to send forth so large a volume, to which so few exceptions can be taken.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stamford Soldiers Memorial This Stamford Soldiers' Memorial has no higher aim than to report worthily the service which the representatives of the town rendered during the recent civil war. Believing it to have been an honorable and patriotic service, it seemed to the author, due to the men who rendered it, that some record of it should be preserved. Nor did it seem less due to the credit of the town, that so important a feature of its history should be sketched while the materials for it were still within our reach. Indeed, the record which follows is but a fulfillment of the first intent of the author, in projecting the History of the town, and very appropriately follows as its supplement Besides, a grateful people would wish to rear some worthy memorial of services, such as we are here to record.

I then found that Mr. Raffles had, in 1887 - 88, gone through the same records at the India Office as I had inspected two years earlier; but in his case he had examined and copied many of them with the special object of writing a biography of his cousin, whereas I had only noted their existence in the course of my work of classification. At the time stated Mr. Raffles fully intended writing his cousin's Life, but several years before our meeting be had abandoned it in order to devote all his time to the reading necessary for taking orders. When we met, he had finally laid aside the intention Of writing a biography, although he none the less deplored the want of a complete and effective Life of Sir Stamford Raffles, which the Memoir by Lady Raffles is certainly not, although it contains much Of permanent value.
