Excerpt from History of the Town of Rockport: As Comprised in the Centennial Address of Lemuel Gott, M. D., Extracts From the Memoranda of Ebenezer Pool, Esq., And Interesting Items From Other Sources Fellow Citizens: - Your Committee beg leave to say that the correspondence that precedes the address of Lemuel Gott, M. D., sufficiently explains the publication of this work at the present time. We regret that the publication of this interesting address has been so long delayed. But are pleased that the Doctor so readily acceded to our request. As received, it is in book form, quarto, one hundred and thirty four closely written pages. It should be preserved in the archives of the town. In order to make the work convenient for the printer, we were obliged to rewrite it entire. The voluminous memoranda of our late estimable fellow citizen, Eben'r. Pool Esq., which his heirs have temporarily placed in our hands and from which we have made copious extracts, we consider of much value to the town and hope in due time the whole thereof will be properly compiled. We appreciate the kindness of those who have allowed us its present use. We do not claim that we herewith present a complete and exhaustive history of Rockport. But are free to say that these pages contain much that can but be of special interest to every citizen and will preserve from oblivion that which will be of great use to the future historian whose object it shall be to produce a more minute and complete history of this our pleasant town.
