Excerpt from Lin: Or, Notable People and Notable Things in the Early History of Lynn, the Third Plantation of Massachusetts Colony

The shunned Preface of a Book, Contains the Author's special say And wary Readers there should look For lights to guide along the way.

A leading purpose of this volume is to illustrate, in a somewhat lively way, the character of the People, and the condition of Things, during a most interesting period of our history. Divers remarkable Personages and Occurrences, strangely overlooked by others, receive due attention. And such wayside reflections are interspersed as it is hoped may, at least here and there, prove good seed sown in good ground.

The Actors and Scenes are to a degree local. But we have endeavored to treat them in such a manner that they will, for that reason, be the more acceptable to the general reader.

We are aware that our style will appear rather episodical; and are also aware that it is a dangerous style to venture upon. But the plan seemed to demand that it should be adopted.
