Excerpt from History of the County of Lennox and Addington Doubtless many readers will think that some important events have been but lightly touched upon, and some may venture the criticism that undue prominence has been given. To others. In reply to the former I may say that I have endeavoured to make the most of the material at my command, and I would remind the latter that it is very difficult to measure the importance of preserving some apparently trifling bit of history. Above everything else I have aimed at accuracy, and while many errors mav have crept in unobserved, I feel confident that the general statements of Tacts are upon the Whole correct. I have been singularly fortunate in securing photographs of many of the county's most celebrated men. Some of these are copies from daguerreotypes, and others from faded photographs which are not in suitable condition for reproduction; but I feel that it is better to preserve imperfect likenesses of such men as Samuel Casey and Peter Perry than allow the opportunity to pass and lose all knowledge of their per sonal appearance.
