Excerpt from Gazetteer and Business Directory of Rutland County, Vt: For 1881-82We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in these pages will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history of the county the scape of the work enables us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject.While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we leave the work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they will bear in mind, should errors be noted, that he who expects a perfect work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
