[From inside front cover] "This book was presented to the Smithfield Public Library Association [now Blackwater Regional Library Smithfield Branch] by the remaining authors of the said book." "It has been lost for months at the time, from the Public School Library - and the owners and authors presented it to the Smithfield Public Library with the hope that it might be better preserved." "Let us, as an association do all in our power to help and protect this book. With careful reading, you will find, that it is a correct and splendid history of the early days of our county - and if preserved, will make a splendid reference book, for our children's children."
