Excerpt from Genealogical History, With Short Sketches and Family Records, of the Early Settlers of West Simsbury, Now Canton, Conn ON the publication or proposed publication of a book, it is legitimate to inquire, What is the object? Why another book '3 Why this? And it is too late in the world's time to deny the right, or question the propriety of thus asking for the reason of things. This little unpretending volume, made up in great part of names, which had a local habitation in a very rural district, may seem to many uncalled for, and not to justify the labor and expense of its compilation and printing. But if it has nothing to boast of renowned characters beyond What is com mon to other localities and settlements in its vicinity, it still contains the seeds of things whose productions it becomes us well to study and understand.
