Excerpt from The Industrial Interests of Newark, N. J: Containing an Historical Sketch of the City; Also a Complete Summary of the Origin, Growth and Present Condition of Newark's Industries; Including the Location and Description of All the Manufacturing Establishments In the preparation of the following pages the design has been to give a succinct account of the history and characteristics of each industry, together with careful statistical summaries of each branch of manufactures. No attempt has been made to give the amount of capital invested, it being a matter of little importance to the world at large who have only to deal with results, and not the means of reaching them. The statistical information given has been acquired through personal interviews with each manufacturer, and in nearly every instance the figures have been verified by reference to the books of the firm; their accuracy, therefore, is beyond question. It needs no specious argument to show that the following work is an innovation in the industrial literature of the country. No similar attempt has previously been made in the interest of any manufacturing city. That the effect of such a work is in general beneficial to the interests of a city, and hence, of great value to each individual manufacturer is obvious. That his material welfare and that of the city in which his wares are produced are identical is manifestly plain. Next to spreading accurate information concerning the various products of his factory, a manufacturer should avail himself of every opportunity to contribute to the popularity of his city abroad as one of the world's greatest workshops. Should this volume add to the renown which Newark has already achieved as a centre of industry and mechanical skill, the purpose of the publishers will have been accomplished. The labor requisite for compiling and preparing for publication the succeeding pages can scarcely be overestimated. The great magnitude of the task has, however, been materially lessened through the valuable suggestions received from Col. Robert S. Swords, the obliging Secretary of the Newark Board of Trade, and the courtesy of Mr. William E. Layton of the Newark Library. Our thanks are also due for the cordial support and encouragement of the enterprising press of Newark. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
