NORTH BROOKFIRLD, MASS, July 3, 18go. <br /> DF,AR SIR : <br /> After having been upwards of ten years at work on it, <br /> the town of North Brookfield, Massachusetts, has published <br /> a History of the Town, that is said to be as fine a piece of <br /> work, of its class, as has ever been published in this State or <br /> this country. The testimonials in relation to its general <br /> excellence that have been received from prominent gentlemen <br /> in this and many other States, and also from England, who <br /> are competent to most intelligently judge of its merits, place <br /> it in the very front rank of historical works of this kind. <br /> The early Indian history is especially interesting, and was <br /> very carefully compiled, requiring many years of faithful <br /> labor and research. <br /> A very large edition was printed, and as quite a number <br /> are still owned by the town, at the last annual town meeting <br /> authority was granted to the Board of Trustees of the North <br /> Brookfield Free Public Library and Reading Room to ex- <br /> change copies of the History of the Town for histories of <br /> other towns, and for biographical works. <br /> Will you please inform me if there has ever been pub- <br /> lished a history of your town? If there has been, please <br /> give me the full address of the party with whom we can cor- <br /> respond, with a view to an exchange of a copy of the History <br />
