Excerpt from The Story of a Primrose, 1831-1895 The writing of this history of his native town was not begun by the writer with any pecuniary end in view. The very limited number of readers whom he could hope to obtain must certainly have shown him, had such been the case, that the time spent in preparing it could have been far more profitably employed.
