Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Noted Men and Historical Narrations of Ancient Milton
The contents of this little book have, in part, appeared in the Milton News and elsewhere. They have been gathered into the present form for the purpose of compact ness and permanence.
The reader will come up against numerous dates, pro bate references and statistics of various forms, which make hard and dull reading. But these figures and references, if accurate and reliable, make up the chief value of the various articles.
It follows that this collection is not for easy and popular reading, but rather for the use of those of our citizens and others who delight in, and are seeking after, the venerable and antiquated men and things of our ancient town.
To all such earnest searchers, everywhere, it is heartily inscribed.
