FRANTI IN SCOTT,
Attorney at Law & Counselor in Patent Causes, SOLICITOR OF AMERICAN and FOREIGN PATENTS,
North Bennington, Vt.
After an experience in patent matters extending over a period of twenty years, offers his services to inventors in Bennington county and vicinity, and confidently believes that his facilities for the transaction of patent business in the United States Courts and in American and Foreign Patent Offices are unsurpassed by any Patent Agency in New England.
Acting as the Associate Attorney in the United States for the Patent Agency of ROBERTSON, BROOMAN & Co., London, the oldest establishment of the kind in England, I am enabled to execute on this side of the water all papers necessary to obtain British patents, so that inventors seeking English patents may know, before their British applications are lodged, in what shape. their inventions have been presented. The general custom is to turn the whole case over to the English Agents, who handle the matter as they please, without consultation with the inventor,-a practice often prejudicial to the inventor's interest.
Having a complete set of English and United States Patent Reports covering a period from 1617 to date, as well as a good selection of legal and scientific patent authorties, I am able to furnish information of the highest value to the inventor and the litigant. No charge made for preliminary consultation.
The customary charge of $5 is made for preliminary searches on inventions.
Fee for obtaining United States patents ranges from $25 up- wards, according to the complexity of the case.
Where applications are made after a preliminary search, the fee for search will be applied on the regular attorney's fee.
Re-issues, extensions, copyrights, rejected cases and caveats prosecuted on reasonable terms.
Cost of English patents from $175 upwards. This covers English Government fees and all other expenses.

INTRODUCTION.
In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Bennington County," we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and 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 several editors 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 from the writings of Gov. Hiland Hall; also in "Memorials of a Century," by Rev. Isaac Jennings ; from various authors in Miss Heminway's "Historical Magazine ;" from Wright's " History of the Shaftsbury Baptist Association," also from Loveland Munson's Historical Address on the Town of Manchester, and from Beers, Ellis & Soule's " Atlas of Benning- ton County." The geological report is extracted from Hitch- cocks & Hager's "Reports of 1861." Our thanks are also dra to Dr. E. N. S. Morgan, A. B. Valentine, Olin Scott, and others of Bennington; to Rev. D. S. Phillips, formerly of Bennington, now of Illinois ; to Hon. A. L. Miner, F. H. Orvis, and others of Manchester ; Rev. E. H. Canfield, of Arlington ; Thomas E. Brownell, A. C. Parker, and others of Pownal; and to many others throughout the county who have rendered valuable aid.
That errors have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given is probable; and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. 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 omis-
4
INTRODUCTION.
sions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata, following the Introduction.
It was designed to give a brief account of all the church organ- izations in the county, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who alone 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, and only a few.
We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. The names it embraces, and the information con- nected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited render practicable. 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 farm house and place of business in the town, in order to obtain the facts from the indi- viduals concerned whenever possible.
The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes opposite the names. .
While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the liberality and cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we take this occasion to express the hope that the information · found in these pages will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history 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 a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject, we leave our work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public.
