Excerpt from The History of Newport, New Hampshire: From 1766 to 1878, With a Genealogical Register An article was Inserted in the warrant for the annual townmeeting in the spring of 1870, upon the suggestion of Baron S. Crowell, son of Samuel Crowell, Jr., To see what action the town will take in regard to a History of the town of Newport. The town voted to publish a history. A committee of nine, consisting of Edmund Wheeler, Dexter Richards, Edmund Burke, Amasn Edes, A. S. Wait, Levi W.Barton, Shepherd L.Bowers, William F.Newton, and Lyman J.Brooks, were appointed to take charge of the matter. This committee, shortly after, assigned the labor of preparing the work to the writer. The result of his efforts i$ now given to the public. How well he has performed the duties given him in charge the reader must judge. Had we been fully aware of the responsibility of the work, and the amount of labor involved in preparing a History, and especially a Genealogy, of Newport, however much we may glory in the record of the town, and delight, as we do, in recounting the successes of the past, and in dwelling upon the grand achievements of its sons and daughters, in trade, in finance, in literature, in law, in medicine, in divinity, in agriculture, and all the various pursuits of life, we should have been slow to embark in the enterprise. We are prepared by our own experience to endorse the remark of the eminent Dr. Albert Smith, m.d., ll.d., the author of the History of Peterborough, a town much like our own, when he says, It has proved a work of great labor. It has now, for five years, engaged almost my entire attention. In addition, it should be remembered that distinguished doctors of law and divinity assisted him nearly all the way in carrying along his load. The reader will perceive that we have assigned several important subjects to some of our best writers, who have kindly wrought them out.
