To the undersigned — between whom and the lamented. Author there existed for nearly twenty years a close and abiding friendship — was assigned the duty of editing and preparing for publication the valuable material left by the deceased historian. In this responsible undertaking the Editor has studiously endeavored to omit nothing essential to the completeness of the history, but has striven to present the work in the form which he believes would have been acceptable to the lamented author. In the hope that it may be equally so to the citizens Of Monmouth and Ocean counties, for Whom it has especially been prepared, the work is respectfully submitted.
