Description
Excerpt from The History of Nantucket: Being a Compendious Account of the First Settlement of the Island by the English, Together With the Rise and Progress of the Whale Fishery; And Other Historical Facts Relative to Said Island and Its Inhabitants
IT has long been a subject of surprise to the author, that no person has written a history of Nantucket. Such a work, commencing with the settlement of the island by the English, and continued to the present day, could not fail of containing much both of: interest and instruction. There are few places of equal magnitude, the annals of which would afford matters for a more valuable volume.
