Excerpt from History of Schoharie County, and Border Wars of New York: Containing Also a Sketch of the Causes Which Led to the American Revolution, and Interesting Memoranda of the Mohawk Valley; Together With Much Other Historical and Miscellaneous Matter, Never Before Published
Since the subject matter of the volume has taken a wider range than was at first anticipated - ia truth, not a few novel and important facts have come to hand since a prospectus was issued for it, the author has thought seriously of changing the title because too local; but as often has the question of the poet arisen What's in a name i and not fastening on any one more satisfactory, it has been retained. That portions of the volume may be found obnoxious to criticism, I do not doubt, as it has mostly been written in the midst of the family circle and domestic cares. Indeed, had it been penned under more favor able auspices, I am not quite certain it would have been pro nounced a very classic production; for, having been bred be hind a counter, much of my early life was devoted to merchan dising instead of letters: A friend who has often seen me in my studio, surrounded by my family, has wittily suggested the propriety, not inaptly I must confess, of dating this volume in the kitchen, and dedicating it to my better-half.
