Excerpt from Lineage Book, Vol. 8: National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 7001-8000, 1895 The librarian of the Maine Genealogical Society, in a. Letter to the Librarian General, writes, In February last you did us the great favor of enriching our Society's library with the first five volumes of your interesting and invaluable Lineage Book, by exchanging with certain of our books. We are very de sirons of having your set preserved complete and I take the liberty of asking if you will not send us your volume VI and subsequent volumes. Confidence is a plant of slow growth. Our Society is still in its youth, a product of la fin de siecle, and the members have been laying its foundation broad and deep. So much work that is active and tangible has appealed to the local Chap ters, it is not surprising that there has been delay in the publi cation oi the archives of our National Society. As each new volume of our Lineage Book goes forth we trust that it will be seen more and more, that its mission is to sift the kernel of truth from the application papers and that pains-taking, conscientious toil is expended upon this, the crowning work of our Society, to make these records as nearly perfect as is possible through human endeavor. If by any chance the original archives are destroyed, we trust there will exist in every Chapter in the land, these verified copies.
