Excerpt from At the Reding No, 2 Wietin: The Public Find Piano for Sheet Music and Must the Lowest New for 1868-9

In presenting the initial number of the "Gazetteer and Directory of Onondaga County" to the public, the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and without whose aid it would have been impossible to have collected, in the brief space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of the Syracuse Journal, Syracuse Standard, Syracuse Courier and Union, Syracuse Central Democrat, Syracuse Union, Weekly Recorder, Fayetteville, Onondaga Gazette, Baldwinsville, Jordan Transcript and Skaneateles Democrat, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public attention to the author's efforts, and to them and many other gentlemen of Onondaga County, for essential aid in furnishing material for the work.

The historical items as contained in the Gazetteer, it is believed will, in the main, be found truthful and interesting. The general plan of that portion of the work is similar to that on which French's State Gazetteer was compiled, and we have, to some extent, drawn from that work. We have also made extracts from "Clark's Onondaga, " and gleaned items of interest from "Sweet's Sketches of Onondaga."

J. K. Comstock and Newman Blowers, Esqr's, School Commissioners from the 2nd and 3rd districts, kindly furnished items in regard to school matters for the various towns in their respective districts.
