Excerpt from Sketches of the New Jersey Historical SocietyEW people realize the scores of valuable papers, F books, manuscripts and curios which are stored away among the archives of the New Jersey His torical Society. The Society has not been organized as long as some of its kindred associations in other States, and its accommodations to-day are probably the worst in the country, yet it has had always a host of cultured and enthusiastic members, who have collected much valuable data pertaining to American history, even if they have failed to house it properly.The Society was founded in 1845, and among its charter members were chief-justice Hornblower, Justice Joseph P. Bradley of the United States Supreme Court, Governor Pennington, Secretary of State Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, President mclean, of Princeton College, Professor Archibald Alexander, T. J. Stryker, Bishop Doane, and other men eminent in professional life, of broad culture and noble generosity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
