Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Jerseymen Tm: idea of the following sketches was first suggested in a small circle of literary friends, who each agreed to contribute for the columns of' the Empo rrum 8; rl'ine American, something towards rescuing from oblivion the names ot' those who have played a distinguished part in the councils of the state, or who have, in some way, contributed to its glory or prosperity. These sketches, as the}, r appeared in the Emporium, attracted considerable attention; and the publication, in some form more permanent than that of the columns of a news paper, was so often suggested, that. It has been deemed best to venture on the experiment. Should they prove to be the means of extending the knowledge of 'pur history among those who are just entering on the stage of life, the writers Will feel that their labors have not been in vain, and with this hope they tommit these pages to the indulgent attention ofthe great public.
