PREFACE.
1158672
H ISTORY, the highest form of prose literature, is fast becoming one of the most popular and important branches of human knowledge. It has rapidly risen from an empirical state to the rank of a science, and the great minds of this century which have found a field for their activity in its broad domain, have done much to sweep away the early crudities and errors that clung about it, and have transformed it from the Pactolus of the learned into the guiding star of modern civilization. In it may be found the principles that govern the character and destiny of nations, and that, properly applied, furnish a chart for statesmen and reformers. That department of history most valuable for the intelligent study of national life is biography, for it affords one great means of historical generalization. History and biography-the life of the nation and the story of the individual-are inseparably connected, for history is the synthesis of biography and biography is the analysis of history.
Biographical history has rapidly risen into prominence and importance since the Centennial year of the American Republic, when the Congress of the United States recommended to every city, town and county, the duty of securing for preservation their local history and the biographies of their worthy citizens. Biography will have prominent place in the histories of the future, while the important and useful lessons that it teaches will never fail to excite interest or give pleasure. Biography teaches the highest good, by presenting examples worthy of emulation, as well as perpetuating the memories of those who are worthy of remembrance. It also preserves the names of thousands of men remarkable for wisdom, virtue, intelligence, energy and ability, and who only lacked opportunity to have won fame and distinction.
Chester county occupies an important and commanding position in the grand old Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and demands the best work on the part of historian, biographer, and publishers. Neither time, labor, nor expense has been spared in the preparation of this volume, and it is placed in the hands of its patrons and the public with a belief that it will be found equal to any work of similar character ever published in this country. The development and progress of the county is not due to the efforts of any particular race, but is the combined result of the brawn and brain of all the

nationalities whose home has been within her borders, since the days of Quaker settlement and English colonization on the banks of the Delaware.
The geology given is mainly taken from the Chester county volume of the Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania, and presents the leading theories and views of Professors Lesley, Rogers, Frazer and Hall; while the military roster of the county is one of which she may be justly proud, for her sons have served with honor and - distinction in all the wars of the Republic, from the early days of the mighty revolutionary struggle for independence to the closing hours of the late great civil war.
Census statistics have been specially introduced to supply a feature that is wanting in so many county histories, and the series of Historical and Biographical Cyclopedias published by this Company, of which this volume is one, are the only works of the kind in the world that have ever gathered and given condensed and classified statistics of population, manufactures and agriculture. These statistics forcibly tell their own story, without need of illustration or explanation.
The excellent Historical Sketch of Chester County which appears herein was prepared by Samuel T. Wiley, a native Pennsylvanian, who has written a number of county histories, and has for several years occupied the position of historian with this Company. The entire work has been edited, and several hundred of the sketches written, by Winfield Scott Garner, who has devoted nearly twenty years to literary and journalistie labors, and who has won considerable reputation as a writer. The press work is all that could be desired, and its excellence is due to the good taste of Martin Cullaton, who had the printing in charge.
Chester county needs no eulogium, for the county that has given heroes to war, princes to song, and masters to art and literature, and that sustains a virtuous. intelligent, and thrifty population, has an enduring record of greatness, whose glory could not be made brighter by eulogy. We hope that the young and rising generation of Chester county may be incited to lead lives of virtue, worth, and usefulness, from the example of its many energetic and worthy citizens, whose life records are given in this volume, and the influence and inspiration of whose lives, like the far distant stars in the heavens, will "shine on and on, for countless ages after they shall have ceased to exist."
