FOREWORD

This Historical and Traditional Narrative of
Lambertville, N. J., comprises a collection of facts
told me by the aged grandsons of Emanuel Coryell, the
founder of this city, and also by his great-great-grand-
children, who were the companions of my youth.

Much of this knowledge has been confirmed or cor-
rected by old letters and documents kindly furnished
me by descendants of the Coryell family.

I have also mentioned many events that have
transpired within my own recollection, having been
born in the place on the thirteenth day of September,
eighteen hundred and twenty-one. Since that time my
residence here has been a continuous one, being at the
time of the writing of this article eighty-one years of
age.
