PREFACE
WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is compiled upon the lines of a London publication, which furnishes biographic data of prominent men the world over, and a Chicago publication which covers the same ground for the whole United States. Obviously, the wider range of these books pre- cludes the mention of many names that have a definite and important interest when considered as factors in the life of this State.
This local information, so to call it, has never, up to this time, been gathered within the limits of a single volume, and those who have had occasion to look for such information realize how difficult it is to secure. It is to be found only in County histories of dubious veracity ; in news- paper clippings difficult of access; in family histories overloaded with unimportant trivialities ; or, in many instances, is not to be found at all. But, worst of all, when the alleged facts are gathered together they are found to be conflicting and the vital element of authenticity lacking. WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is authentic. The information has been gathered at first hand. It may be relied upon.
The Publishers of WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK desire to thank Dr. Walter G. Elliott, of New York City, for his courtesy in permitting them to draw freely from his work, "Noted Physicians of New York." They also take pleasure in acknowledging their obligation for valuable assistance to Wilbur J. Carr, Esq., of the State Department at Washing- ton, to General W. H. Carter, of the U. S. Army, to H. C. Gauss, of the Navy Department, to the publishers of the " New York Red Book," and the publishers of the " Railroad Encyclopedia."
The readers of this volume will confer a great favor npon the L. R. Hamersly Company by suggestin the names of people who should be
PREFACE
included herein, but who have, for various reasons, been omitted. No one can be more sensible than the Publishers of the sins of omission which may be properly laid at their door, but they trust that their next edition-that of 1905-may come more nearly to the standard they desire to establish. One thing, however, they do pride themselves upon : the most severe critic of their work cannot say that any men or women have been included who do not deserve a place in this book. The error has been that of omission rather than commission.
" The proper study of mankind is man."
