THE NEW YORK 340624 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS. 1904 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1873, by H. C. LEONARD, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. CAMBRIDGE: PRESS OF JOHN WILSON AND SON. THE author makes acknowledgment of indebtedness to John J. Babson's "History of Gloucester" for passages of local history; to the "Encyclopædia Ameri cana " for the extract from its sketch of Capt. John Smith; to "Young's Chronicles" for "Anthony Thatcher's Narrative," and a few quotations from relations of other writers; and to the "Atlantic Monthly" and several volumes of the poets from Osgood & Co.'s publications for much valuable matter. He also renders thanks to EBENEZER POOL, of Rockport, for the help of interesting records, and for the aid of other neighbors, whose names are given in connection with their contributions. Moreover, he would add that he is confident that the artist, THOMAS LEE BULSON, of Albany, N.Y., and the engraver, JOHN ANDREW, of Boston, will have the praise which is their due for fittingly adorning these beautifully printed pages. |
