PREFACE

At the time of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, the Free
Public Library of Jersey City contributed to its observance in
various ways.
First. There was held in the Auditorium of the Library
a public meeting with historic addresses and patriotic music.
Second. An historical pamphlet was published for free
distribution entitled "Prom Sail to Steam, " giving the con
nection of New Jersey and its citizens with the development
of steam navigation.
Third. A list of books appropriate to the occasion was
compiled and printed.
Fourth. A loan exhibition of articles valuable for their
age, rarity, historical associations, and intrinsic value, was
held in the Museum belonging to the Library. This collec
tion, which consisted to a great extent of heirlooms belonging
to Jersey City families, proved to be of so much interest that
it was decided that a permanent record of the exhibits should
be made and the Librarian has accordingly catalogued them.
The work has been a pleasure and it is hoped will give satis
faction to the friends who so kindly loaned these most inter
esting relics, and to whom cordial thanks are due.
In addition to the articles listed in this catalogue the
Library has long been the owner of a large number of manu
scripts, maps and other articles of historic value, which to
gether with a fine collection of natural curiosities will be
catalogued as soon as opportunity will allow.
