Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Lowell To gather and embalm all that seemed most valuable in this heritage of memories and traditions, has been the object of the present work, which covers the whole period from the discovery of the Merrimack River by De Monts, in 1605, to the year of Grace 1868. The first edition, or rather the original germ, of this work, was published in 1856. With the aid of a mass of materials laboriously gathered during the last twelve years, I may hope that the value of the work has been greatly increased. The narrative has been thoroughly revised, and very much enlarged. Several engravers of established reputation were employed to execute illustrative cuts. Many of these are well done: butsome are so badly executed that, perhaps, an apology is due for their insertion in these pages; and others have been rejected altogether.
