Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Town of Antrim, New Hampshire, From Its Earliest Settlement, to June 27, 1877: With a Brief Genealogical Record of All the Antrim Families
Of course it could not be expected that a history Of this quiet town would be very romantic or great. We have had no Indian tragedies, no national battles no men of extensive fame, no mines of wealth, and very remarkable record In any Way. Our town has little that Is brilliant; much that is solid, honorable, and good. But to those born or bred here, these pages, I think, will be full Of interest.
The portraits are all steel engravings, chie?y from the hand Of F. T. Stuart, 42 Court street, Boston, an artist Of high repute. The cost Of all these has been borne by the parties or their friends. The several Views and buildings appear in this book by the generosity Of David M. Weston, Hon. Charles Adams, Jr., Mrs. Anna Woodbu'ry, Mrs. Eliza (weston) Williams, Benjamin P. Cheney, Mary Clark, and others.
Other faces and views I earnestly desired and sought, but they could not be Obtained. The engravings of N. W. C. Jameson, nic. Jameson, and one or two others, go into other books from the same plate; other wise they might not have appeared in this. Dea. A. H. Dunlap Of Nashua gave one hundred dollars towards the engravings Of Dr. And Mrs. Whiton. Hon. William B. Dinsmore of New York puts in the face Of Anna Belle Jameson. This being unknown to the family, may be taken as a happy tribute to her beautiful character, and as a sample of the generous things that gentleman is in the habit Of doing.
It IS believed the illustrations in this volume cannot be surpassed in neatness or style. The cost Of all the illustrations 1s about two thousand dollars.
