Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Town of Pawtucket
The reader will notice, too, that I have tried to give an account of the various branches of manufacturing industry in the town. In doing this I have studied brevity. Nobody but one who has undertaken to gather such statistics, knows how much time and pains are needful to collect them, and specially to ascertain their connection with previous establishments. Perhaps the details may seem meagre; it had been easier in many cases to make them four times as voluminous. I have thought, however, that they would be more likely to be studied, if brief. In gaining the information sought, I have had to tax the time of agents and proprietors a little, but I take pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy generally extended to me.
