Excerpt from The History of Princeton, Worcester County, Mass: From Its First Settlement, With a Sketch of the Present Religious Controversy in That Place, Designed for the Use of the Inhabitants The history of a town, and that not a conspicuous one among its neighbors, cannot be expected to contain much of general interest. Aware of this fact, I have endeavored to keep it constantly in view, in the preparation of the accompanying hasty sketch, which now seeks the preservation of the press, without the notoriety of publication. I have aimed only to write a "plain, unvarnished tale, " and, having nothing to amuse the stranger, have studied only to interest the inhabitants. In this, I am far from confident of success. If I have entirely failed, I can only wish my readers an abundant share of that happy disposition, of "taking the will for the deed, " in which, at least, I hope for security. As I have written in the hurried intervals of more pressing employments, following, in most cases, as nearly as possible, the language of the documents and persons, from whom my facts come, I have not aimed at any embellishments. That the accompanying pages should be elegant, I cannot hope, that they may be fully intelligible, is all I expect.
