Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
Excerpt from Who's Who in Pennsylvania: A Biographical Dictionary of Contemporaries Who's Who in Pennsylvania is presented in a Second Edition, after an interval of four years since the publication of the First, with u view to make it a more complete and up-to-date presentation of personal statistics of those citizens of the Commonwealth whose lives and careers are of the greatest interest, and who are taking the most active and influential part in the progress and development of the State. The former edition met with wide and generous recognition, and the present one, endeavoring to present not only such new names of importance as have achieved distinction in the interim, but also to give more perfect accounts of those whose life-sketches have been retained from the First Edition, is believed to be a marked improvement over its predecessor, the original volume. The utility of what are known as Who's Who books, of which the London Who's Who, now in its sixtieth year of successful annual publication, may be regarded as the progenitor, is now everywhere recognized, the Germans and French having entered the field for their respective countries. The application of the idea to Die representation of the notables of a single State began with the publication of "Who's Who in New York City and State," by L. R. Hamersly & Co. (of which the Fourth Edition is now in preparation), followed by the issue from the same publishing house of "Who's Who in Pennsylvania." The present edition is virtually a new book, such matter as has been retained from the former issue having been in almost every case rewritten, amplified or condensed as seemed to most appropriate to the purpose of the publication, which is to furnish a complete, accurate and reliable biographical dictionary of contemporary Pennsylvanians. The greatest care has been taken to make authentic the records contained in this volume. The data, in almost every instance, have been secured from first hands, and the sketches, when completed, have been submitted in each case to the subject for verification or amendment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
