We, who have prepared it, cannot agree with them. There are some words of courtesy to be written, certain acknowledgments of obligation to be made, that can be expressed so well no where else, nor in any other manner. Hence the preface.In some measure it has been a work of compilation; but by no means altogether so.To two pamphlets of the late Colonel Sherwin McRae, long the accomplished Librarian in charge: to the researches of R. A. Brock, Esq., the scholarly Secretary of the Southern Historical Society ("Virginia and Virginians); to the uniform courtesy and wide and accurate information of Dr. William P. Palmer and Dr. B. W. Green; and to the well and widely known Artist, Mr. W. L. Sheppard, we owe much. And we very cheerfully acknowledge it. To mention such names as these in our preface, as our advisers, ought to be a sufficient "Letter of Credit" to our Catalogue.Yet have made careful investigations of our own, and have endeavored to "prove all things," and to state nothing categorically except on excellent authority.What follows then is not a mere casting together of odds and ends, picked up at random of the fruits of other people's labors; but a statement, in brief it is true, of facts that have been verified with care and diligence - facts, too, that illustrate, and, for the most part, illuminate the history of Virginia.There was need of such a work. We hope the "long-felt want" will be felt no longer, but that this little book will fulfill its purpose in supplying it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
