Excerpt from A Centennial Historical Sketch: Town of New London The late talented and lamented Authoress of the History of New London in her preface to that excellent work, very appropriately remarks, The divine command to remember the days Of Old and consider the years of many generations so often repeated in varying terms in Holy \vrit, is an imper ative argument for the preservation of memorials of the past. The hand of God is seen in the history of towns as well as that Of nations. The purest and noblest love of the Olden time is that which draws from its annals motives of gratitude and thanksgiving for the past - counsels and warnings for the future. These remarks are as forcibly just as they are un questionably true. History is the language Ofthe past, wheth er perpetuated by tradition, monumental inscriptions, ancient records and manuscripts. Or the more modern art Of printing, not inaptly termed the art preservative of all arts. Her voice is heard, repeated by ten thousand tongues and re-echo ed through remotest ages, from the earliest dawn of time, and never to cease until'time itself shall be no longer.
