Excerpt from Miniature of Dansville Village: Humbly Inscribed to the First Settlers, and Their Immediate Descendants If the public mind shall find it difficult to discover the original of these sketches, it will not be, that our village pos sesses no strong points, but on account of the feebleness of the artist who may not have been able to reach those very strong points and lineaments which stand out to behold ers so prominently. There are many things which embar rass a writer who attempts the history of any particular place. He must depend upon such dates and facts as the few remaining first settlers give him, and on such incidents as they relate. Under such circumstances an honest inten tion to exhibit things as they were must be the amount of his responsibility. The humble drudge is exposed to censure without the hope of praise - to be disgraced by miscarriage, or punished for neglect, where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward. The unao voidable course to which a writer is sometimes constrained by circumstances over which he has no control. Exposed to accusations of a most unenviable character, and may award him a'partiality for some certain class. But as the author has no high claims, upon the public, and expects little, or no reward for his humble services, he only hopes that sober minded men will do justice to his intentions.
