Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nathaniel Goddard
Outside of the Narrative there is unfortunately but scant material for a connected account of his private life. The domestic incidents related are from the recollection of members of the family circle, now become almost a tradition, or from the few private letters which have been preserved; his own correspondence, which existsonly as of odd dates and intervals, dealing almost exclusively with the detail of the counting-room and the daily routine of mercantile affairs. But it is hoped that the record, imperfect as it must needs be, of an honorable business career and a devoted home life, will be of interest to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, for whom it has been especially prepared.
The genealogy of the family makes no pre tense to completeness, but is given as establish ing in its main branches the successive genera tions of an ancient and creditable lineage.
