Excerpt from The A. M. Crary Memoirs and Memoranda The preface of a book is more of a matter of form than of any particular usefulness in getting at the facts contained therein. I propose, therefore, to submit this volume to you, kind reader, with the simple assurance that the design from first to last is to give Variety rather than Sameness, so as not to weary your patience with long drawn out Formula, which too often has a tendency to cause one to become impatient to arrive at the real pith of the argument, and in many cases to cause a person to throw a book aside before reading it half through. Part first contains Biography, Genealogy and Reminiscences connected with the Author's Civil and Military life. Part second contains a partial Record of the Crary families from Peter and John Crary down through Seven generations to the present time.
