Great difficulty has | ee been experienced in securing information concerning the early settlement of the respective Munici-_ palities, owing to the absence, in most cases, of official data. To avoid the use of explanatory foot is . notes and references to authorities, quotation marks have been employed, and the works consulted ia ¢ generally acknowledged. . 78 $ j8 | A large amount of space has been devoted to Biographical Sketches; yet in this department the list is far from being complete, owing to various causes, the chief of which has been lack of . co-operation upon the part of those most deeply interested. The utility and benefit of a County History rests primarily upon the facts which are collated for the use of the general historian: the Author therefore ventures to hope that the HISTORY or _ Leeps AND GRENVILLE will be productive of a more complete knowledge of the settlement, growth, a and development of the United Counties. 2 ja THAD.
