"The object had in view in the preparation of a "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois" has been to present, in compact and concise form, the leading facts of Territorial and State history, from the arrival of the earliest French explorers in Illinois to the present time." Additionally in an effort to present, in simple and concise form, facts of history of interest or value to those who may choose to consult its pages." - from Preface to 1910 Edition In the preparation of a history of any minor subdivision of a State, allusion is necessarily made to various events of the past which are well known to many old resident, and may things of the present are recorded which are not strange to the intelligent citizen. Nevertheless all do not know all of the past, nor is any one thoroughly posted on the present. Hence the hope that this compilation amounts at least to an interchange of knowledge, which being 'collected and refreshed' puts all on an equal footing for a fresh start." - from preface to 1876 Edition Condition is " Very Good'.
