PUBLISHERS' PREFACE.
IT is with the confident feeling that they have not merely fulfilled, but far exceeded, all promises made at the outstart that the publishers present to their patrons and the public, after considerable more than a year's labor from the time of its inception, the now completed History of Lehigh and Carbon Counties. As the result of the imited and careful labors of men thor- oughly experienced in the collection, compilation, and writing of local history, and of scores of residents of the region which is the province of the work, including not only those who are mentioned as the writers of certain chapters, but others who have made lesser contributions,- all especially qualified by original knowledge, by investigation, or by virtue of their positions to be the purveyors of local lore,-we think that the volume will merit and receive the favorable indorsement of those most competent to criticise the work which it contains, and that time will not modify in the slightest degree, but, on the contrary, greatly inercase, their estimation. In the broadly comprehensive sense, Mr. Alfred Mathews was the author and editor of the history. He was assisted by Mr. Austin N. Hungerford of the publishers' corps. To these gentlemen should be accredited almost everything in the volume not especially denoted as the work of others, embracing the larger part of its contents, and of course implying supervision of the whole. Other writers who have been engaged upon the work are here designated : Rev. A. R. Horne, D.D., was the author of the voluminous and interesting chapter (vi. in the history of Lehigh County) on the Pennsylvania Germans. E. V. d'Invilliers was the writer of the chapter on the geology of Lehigh County, and Charles A. Ashburner, M.S., of that on Carbon County's rock and mineral formation. Of the townships of Lehigh County, Heidel- berg and Lynn were written by Samuel J. Kistler, Esq .; Upper Macungie, by Rev. M. J. Kranlich ; Lower Macungie, by E. R. Lichtenwallner, Esq .; Upper and Lower Milford, by P. W. Flores; Salisbury, by Professor J. O. Knauss; Upper Saucon, by Frank B. Heller; Weissenberg, by Solomon F. and Henry F. Rupp; Whitehall, by T. F. Diefenderfer, Esq., and F. J. Newhard, Esq. ; North Whitehall, by James L. Schaadt, Esq. : South Whitehall, by Rev. F. K. Bernd ; and the borongh of Emans, by II. W. Jarrett. In the history of Carbon County, two of the general chapters-those on the legal and medical professions-were contributed by Dr. R. Leonard, of Manch Chunk. Towamensing and Lower Towamensing were contributed by Col. John Craig; the borough of Paekerton, by W. Lee Stiles; the borough of Parryville, by Dennis Bauman ; and the borough of Weatherly, by Dr. J. B. Tweedle. Besides these writers there are many others who have contributed church and school histories, etc., whose names are, as a rule, mentioned in connection with their articles. The number of these is very large.
On behalf of themselves and of the writers in their employ the publishers return their most sineere thanks to all who have assisted in the compilation of the history by furnishing informa- tion or extending courtesies to those in search of it. To mention individually all of those who have thus aided our efforts (and indirectly benefited themselves and their posterity, making pos- sible the preparation of an ample and authentic history of these counties) would be impossible, as the list would include the names of the county, eity, and borough officials, the members of the

press and elergy, numerons persons identified with the railroads and with manufacturing inte ests, and a long array of the old citizens. At the risk, however, of appearing to make a invidious distinction we will present the names of a very few, whose positions in life or th possession of peculiar or extensive information has enabled them to be of especial service to th writers. First among those, so far at least as Lehigh County is concerned, should perhaps b mentioned Robert E. Wright, Esq., the veteran lawyer, and the late Christian Pretz, who was : pioneer in Allentown's period of growth. Of the same eity should be mentioned also in thi. connection Augustus L. Ruhe, Tilghman Good (recently chief of police), the late Hon. Samuel A Bridges, the late Peter Huber, Samnel Lewis, Joseph B. Lewis, Eli J. Saeger, James L. Schaadt Esq., C. W. Cooper (of the Allentown National Bank), Rev. A. J. G. Dubbs, Rev. Joshua Yeager, Rev. Schindel, Rev. Thomas N. Reber, Professor J. O. Knauss, Maj. E. R. Newhard, Thomas B. Metzgar, Esq., B. F. Trexler, Robert Iredell, Jr., C. Frank Haines, Jesse Grim, Ephraim Grim, A. G. Reminger, Col. T. H. Good, and Joseph F. Newhard. The history of Allentown has been enriched by Rev. J. H. Dubbs, of Lancaster, and that of half a dozen or more townships in Lehigh County extensively increased in value by the contributions of Rev. William A. Helffrich. Especial mention should be made of the friendship of Samnel Thomas, Col. M. H. Horn, Rev. Cornelius Earle, Oliver and John Williams, Joshua Hunt, Samuel Glace, William II. Glace, Esq., Jacob Laubach, and Charles G. Sehellner, all of Catasauqua, and of F. J. Stetler, Charles Peters, and D. D. Jones, of Slatington.
Among the citizens of Carbon County whose kindly offices we must not pass without recog- nition are J. H. Chapman, Dr. R. Leonard, Thomas L. Foster, John Ruddle, Robert Q. Butler, Judge A. G. Brodhead, E. H. Ranch, John Painter, James I. Blakslee, Hon. Robert Klotz, and E. R. Siewers, Esq. To the late Judge Harry E. Packer the writers in onr employ were under obligations for many favors. We will add, in this connection, that acknowledgments of indebtedness for kindnesses to others are made elsewhere in this volume in appropriate connee- tions.
In coneluding these few lines a word concerning the department of illustrations, which supplements the literary contents of the volume, is not out of place. The illustrations consist largely of portraits of some of those men who have been or are prominent residents of the ter- ritory to which this volume is devoted. These portraits, with the accompanying biographical sketches, form a feature which is sometimes the subject of ill-considered criticism, on the ground that some of them are of persons living. Nevertheless, in the judgment of the publishers and of a great many persons who have given the matter careful consideration, the department is one which should not be omitted or limited by the insertion of none but the portraits and sketches of those who are deceased. When it is borne in mind how swiftly the stream of life and time sweeps onward, -how swiftly the present becomes the past,-there will be few to find fault with this department ; and when a score or more of years have elapsed, -- when the generations now marching in the front and in the closely-succeeding ranks shall have passed away,-this feature will be invaluable, serving as the best reminder of some of their most conspicuous and honored characters to those who remain.
