PREFACE. Thk object of this work is to give an account of the most important and interestmgevents which have occurred in the State of New Jersey, togetlier with geographical de-scriptions and numerous engravings. In selecting the extracts which are introduced inthe course of the volume, care has been taken to avoid dry detail and tedious officialdocuments, which usually appear in regular, formal history, and to give those selectionslikely to interest the feelings, refresh the memory, and instruct the mind. We are aware there are historical items in these pages which may seem to some tootrivial, or perhaps too much beneath what is termed the dignity of history. It maybe observed, however, that we are not always competent judges of what may be val-uable or interesting
