PATRONS.
As a grateful acknowledgment of the liberal patronage bestowed on the preceding work by the citizens of the town of Norway, and by many gentlemen of other towns, the writer cheerfully embraces the opportunity of publishing a list of its patrons at the close of the book, believing that it will be gratifying to future generations to look back, and see the lib- erality displayed for the purpose of preserving from oblivion the memories and names of those who have patiently and perseveringly labored to build up the town to its present prosperous condition, from what was formerly a howling wil- derness, and only the abode of savage beasts, and more savage men.
The reader will probably see, and if not, may plainly understand, that the writer has purposely omitted saying anything about political parties of any description, or any of the prevailing isms of the present day ; as he thinks there will be enough of the acrimony and bitterness of party strife go down to future generations without making a book record for its preservation. Neither does he intend to hide himself be- hind the oft-resorted-to-screen of belonging to no party, or sect; for his political course has always been distinctly marked, and known, and probably will continue the same, until he sees a sufficient reason for changing his opinion. The present age is an age of progress, and (he hopes) of improvement, in the diffusion of knowledge, and in the ame- lioration of the condition of the human family ; and time only

will develop whether the conflicting exertions of the various parties and organizations will ultimately tend to promote the prosperity and happiness, first of our own nation, and then of the whole human family. This is a momentous question, the consideration of which ought to have a large place in the mind of every considerate and candid person.

The printer regrets that these typographical errors were not de- tected until an hour too late for their correction. They are as mortifying to his eye as they can be odious to that of the reader. But, as the author says in his preface of his own errors, " instead of wondering at a few mistakes, it should be a greater wonder that there are not more ; " for, if the compositor has not had many " irons in the fire," he has had perplexities of which readers can not know. In the revised and enlarged edition of 1952, the errors, doubtless, will be expunged.
