 PREFACE. 
 
 This volume, as far as known, unique in its conception and scope, 
 owes its existence to the casual thought that in the earlier years of 
 this country's history New England lax'gely furnished its ministry, 
 but with the spreading of the ever-increasing population and the 
 formation of new states, would do so no longer. Enough, however, 
 had been done to merit permanent record. The compiler, as a 
 native of New Hampshire, soon decided to chronicle her proportion 
 of such ministry down to date, and for more than 30 years has taken 
 gi'eat pleasure in bringing together the material herein included, of 
 2,509 who, in home and foreign lands, have sought to render valu- 
 able service to their generation in the line of their distinctive work. 
 This has necessitated the examination of uncounted volumes and 
 newspapers, an extensive correspondence, and many personal inter- 
 views. The endeavor has been to give the complete statistical life 
 of all of all denominations as far as obtainable. Of a few the fact 
 only has been learned. Of some the account is very meagre. Some 
 early dropped from the public records and were lost from sight. 
 The facts of some have been gathered from various sources, and a 
 very few are incomplete because of the failure of individuals to 
 make response to inquiries. It has been thought best to' include 
 licentiates in the record, as some have done valuable service while 
 engaged in other professions, and others have died before reaching 
 ordination. 
 
 Experience makes certain that this record, large as it is, is still 
 incomplete for lack of knowledge, and the compiler will be glad if 
 persons examining the volume and failing to find names that ought 
 to be there will kindly inform him of such fact, in the interest of 
 greater completeness. 
 
 While the endeavor has been to chronicle every thing relating to

 the statistical life of the individual, including a complete bibliogra- 
 phy as far as possible, as will be seen personal eulogy has formed 
 no part of the plan. Only now and then a noteworthy incident in 
 an individual's history has been given, and then in briefest form. 
 Doubtless mistakes will be found, for they are inevitable in bringing 
 together such a mass of facts, but no pains has been spared to ensure 
 entire accuracy. Sources of information are not always reliable. 
 Where authorities have differed, the one most probable has been 
 given. 
 
 It is hoped that the five indexes will be found eminently satis- 
 factory, and the volume, as a book of reference, become invaluable 
 to every public library. It certainly should find a place in every 
 such library in New Hampshire. 
 
 In the preparation of the work, the valuable aid furnished by 
 many is hereby gratefully acknowledged, and special thanks accorded 
 to Miss Mary E. Stone of the Congregational Library of Boston, 
 who in the earlier years of its compilation very kindly furnished 
 much new material. 
 
 The hope is fondly cherished that the appearance of this volume 
 will induce some one in each of the other New England states, 
 native or resident, who has the necessary courage and perseverance, 
 to undertake the work for his own state. The compiler of this vol- 
 ume will gladly give to such the benefit of his experience.
