3In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Windham County," we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and thus rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the editors and managers of the county papers, for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for essential aid in furnishing material for the work.

Hall's History of Eastern Vermont;" the "Documentary History of New York;" Lanman's "Dictionary of Congress;" Palmer's "History of Lake Champlain;" "Pioneer History of the Champlain Valley;" "History of the Town of Newfane;" "History of Brattleboro," by Henry Burnham; various pamphlets of centennial celebrations, etc.; in the reports of the Adjutant-General and State School Superintendent; Beers, Ellis & Soule's "Atlas of Windham county;" and also the geological reports of Hitchcock and Hagar. Our thanks are also due to the clergy throughout the county, and to C. P. Stickney, of Brookline; Charles F. Eddy, of Bellow's Falls, (for manuscript history of Rockingham;) Kittredge Haskins, (for history of First National Bank,) George B. Sargent, J. I. Cutting, Fred W. Childs, William S. Newton and Timothy Vinton, of Brattleboro; Samuel H. Jones, of Needham, Mass.; Hon. James H. Phelps, of West Townshend, (for the very complete list of county officers on pages 34 to 43 inclusive, originally compiled by him for his History of Townshend, soon to be issued;) Hon. Hoyt H. Wheeler of Jamaica, and to many others throughout the county who have rendered valuable aid.
