Excerpt from A Hand Book of Business in Lowell: With a History of the City In preparing this historic outline, my chief purpose has been, to seize on the salient points, facts, incidents and events of our urban history, together with such traditions and episodes as have any local interest and to weave the whole together in the form of a readable and interesting narrative The character of the Work did not admit of minute details, a display of erudition, or a parade of rhetoric. The solemn monotony and stately dignity of history, - the painful particularity and prudish precision of chronologers and almanac-makers, - have been freely sacrificed for the lively ow of story. I acknowledge, with pleasure, my obligations to the City Clerk, and to various individuals whose names delicacy forbids me to mention, for their politeness in favoring me with the use of records and documents, which have aided me much in the composition of this work.
