Excerpt from Bench and Bar of Ohio, Vol. 1: A Compendium of History and BiographyThe publishers have aimed in this work to present an epitome of the history of the Courts and the Bar of Ohio. It covers a period of one hundred and ten years, opening with the settlement and organization of government in the Northwest Territory. Early authentic records are meager, and it has been necessary to search through all the volumes of history, the reports of memorial anniversaries, and countless pamphlets published by the His torical Societies, in order to find the data for a historical sketch. Court records have been laboriously examined and old settlers have been interviewed. All this painstaking to secure accuracy has involved prodigious labor, and in spite of all, errors will doubtless be found in the work. Perfection is very rarely attained by mortals. The biographical sketches of individual subjects have been submitted to themselves or their representatives, for correction and approval, whenever practicable. 'the rich biographical material has by 119 means been exhausted. The editor and publishers are pleased to acknowledge their appreciation of the generous assistance ren dered by Honorable Richard A. Harrison, Columbus, Henry C. Ranney and Judge Franklin J. Dickman, Cleveland, General Benjamin R. Cowen, clerk of the United States District Court, Cincinnati, the associate editors and all others whose names appear as authors or editors of special articles. Gen orally, throughout the State, the enterprise has received encouragement from the foremost members of the profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
