Excerpt from The Biographical Cyclopedia of Representative Men of Rhode Island
Although Rhode Island is a small state territorially, she, nevertheless, has a record as brilliant and interesting as any state in the Union, and as her history extends over a period of nearly two and a half centuries, the greater part of this volume is necessarily devoted to sketches of the lives of men of past generations.
The biographies have been arranged chronologically, except so far as it became necessary to interrupt this order for the purpose of properly distributing the steel-plate portraits with which the work is embellished, and inserting sketches received too late for publication in their proper place. The fact that the biographies of many prominent men who are now upon the stage of action are not to be found in this Cyclopedia, and that steel-plate portraits do not aecom pany the sketches of several well-known men represented herein, may occasion some comment; but it is due to the publishers to state that they have used their best endeavors to supply this omission.
