Excerpt from De Witt Historical Society of Tompkins County: Publications No; 1, I. Sketch of the Work; II. Rulloff: The Great Criminal and Philologist The Dewitt Historical Society, in publishing the revised and expanded address in pamphlet form, takes occasion again to thank the. Author, and to call the attention of its members to the Society's work already done. In the hope that coming years may enlarge the general interest and swell the treasures of historical matter and literary contributions, making both the meetings and the publications of the society of increasing value to the local community, besides adding a mite of worth to civilization, we remain the obedient servants of the people of Ithaca and Tompkins County.
