Extracts From the Itineraries, and Other Miscellanies of Ezra Stiles, D.D., LL. D. 1755-1794 e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Literary Diary of Dr. Stiles was printed in full in 1901; but before he began his Diary (in 1769) he had been accustomed to preserve in consecutive form miscellaneous memoranda which seemed worthy of permanent record. To these memoranda he gave ultimately the designation of Itineraries, as being mainly gathered during his occasional journeys, and from this source the earlier section of the present volume is made up; it should, however, be stated that much of the Itineraries for the years after 1769 was incorporated in the notes to the Diary as already printed.
