" He that hath much to do, will do something wrong, and of thay wrong must suffer the conse- quences ; and if it were possible that he should always act rightly, yet when such numbers are to judge of his conduct, the bad will censure and obstruct him by malevolence, and the good sometimes by mistake."-SAMUEL JOHNSON.

INTRODUCTION.


In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory," we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and thus rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the editors and managers of the county papers, for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. We have also found valuable aid in the following : The various papers that have been read before the Berkshire Historical Society ; the Berkshire Athenaeum ; The " History of Western Massachusetts," by J. G. Holland; Fields " History of Berkshire County," published in 1829; the "Gazetteer of Massachusetts," by Elias Nason, M. A., published in 1874; the “ Gazetteer of Massachu- setts" by John Hayward, published, in 1847 ; the " History of Lee," com- piled by Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. D., and Alexander Hyde ; " History of Great Barrington," by Charles J. Taylor ; " History of Pittsfield," by J. E. A. Smith ; the "Geology of Massachusetts," by Edward Hitchcock, LL. D .; " His- tory of Savoy," by H. E. Miller ; "History of Paper making in Berk- shire," by Hon. Byron Weston ; " Historical Address on New Marlboro," by Aaron Smith ; "Historical Lecture on Lee," by Rev. Amory Gale ; "Tagh- conic, or a Romance of the Hills," by "Godfrey Greylock ;" Report of the "Cen- tennial Celebration of Lenox ;" " Centennial Celebration of Sheffield ;" Re- port of the " Berkshire Jubilee," held at Pittsfield in 1845; "Report of the Massachussets Board of Education ;" the " Manual of the General Court ;" F. B. Beers's "Atlas of Berkshire County ;" The " Berkshire Life Insurance Co.'s Map of Berkshire County ;" and in the various pamphlets, and to the reports of a number of societies, institutions, corporations and towns. Our thanks are also due to the clergy throughout the county, and to Hon. Julius Rockwell, of Lenox; H. D. Sedgwick, of New York city; W. M. Kniffin, of West Stockbridge; Josiah A. Royce, of Lanesboro ; Prof. A. L. Perry, of Williams college ; Henry W. Taft, W. R. Plunkett and James W. Hull, of Pittsfield ; H. Clay Bliss, Hon. Jarvis Rockwell and Frederick P. Brown, of North Adams; George W. Adams, D. J. Dean, and Franklin H. B. Munson, of Adams; Leonard McCullock, of Savoy; Dr. James Smedly, of Williamstown ; A. B. Clark, of Lee ; Hon. Norman W. Shores

INTRODUCTION.


and A. Chalkley Collins, of Great Barrington ; E. J. Vosburgh, of Sheffield, and to many others who have rendered valuable aid.


That errors have occurred in so great a number of names is probable, and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite cer- tain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in noting such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs and which are found corrected in the Errata following the Introduction.


It was designed to give a brief account of all the church and other socie- ties in the county, but owing in some cases to the negligence of those who were able to give the necessary information, and in others to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a few.


We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory on page 3, part 2d. The names it embraces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited renders possible. Each agent is furnished with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every road and call at every dwelling and place of busi- ness in the town in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned whenever possible.


The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes oppo- site the names.


The Advertisers represent some of the leading firms and business men of this and other counties, and we most cheerfully commend them to the pat- ronage of those under whose observation these pages may come.


We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in the book will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief description of the county the scope of the work enables us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove an aid to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject.


While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we leave the work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they will bear in mind, should errors be noted, that "he who expects a perfect work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be."
