Excerpt from The Holland Land Co. And Canal Construction in Western New York: Buffalo-Black Rock Harbor Papers, Journals and Documents Of Mr. Ellicott's share in this work, it is impossible to speak in a prefatory note with adequate fullness. In some subsequent volume of these Publications, ample space must be devoted to his part in the history-making of Western New York, and especially of Buffalo. The only noteworthy attempt that has ever been made to record his work, is Turner's History of the Holland Purchase, a volume which, although valuable as a repository of facts, is far from being a satisfactory narrative of the subject. From the sources which the Historical Society has at command, much of importance may be drawn touching the whole term of Mr. Ellicott's activity. This material will fill a gap in the printed annals of Western New York. These, however, are matters for a future volume.
