Excerpt from A Selection From the Addresses, Lectures and Papers: With a Biographic Sketch, of Arthur A. Putnam of Uxbridge, Mass

AN introductory word of explanation concerning the publication of this book may not be out of place. The volume marks the crystallization of a wide-spread feeling that the addresses and lectures of our honored fellow-citizen, Judge Arthur A. Putnam, should be preserved in permanent form and made available for general use. These lectures and addresses are a trea sure-house of historical data, and are replete with wit, eloquence, and patriotic fervor, and should by no means be lost to posterity.

There was also a general desire on the part of the community to pay its tribute of esteem and affection to our Nestor, Who for so many years has entertained and thrilled not only local but national audiences. Of the more than forty addresses that have been delivered from time to time during the passing years, ten have been chosen as especially worthy of place in this hon orary volume.
