PREFACE

HE Twentieth Century Memorial for Rochester and Vicinity T is the outcome of laborious and expensive preparation, and is sent forth with confidence that it will be valued by the intelligent community it represents in proportion to its manifest merits. So remarkable an array of portraits of the prominent and noteworthy men of the city and county, present and past, was at first considered impossible by discerning citizens whose advice was sought, and neither they nor any one who has not shared the prolonged labors involved in the enterprise can properly realize the difficulties which have been overcome. Those labors have been so many and covered the field so thoroughly that a similar task cannot be successfully undertaken for many years—probably not for a quarter-century or more. Therefore the possessors of this pictorial book have reason to congratulate themselves on having secured a memento of the beginning of the new century in "a kind of excellent dumb discourse" more eloquent than words, to entertain and instruct their families and friends and hand down as an heirloom to their children and children's children, which must increase in interest as the passing years recede into fainter and fainter memories. The charm of such a collection of likenesses, unmarred by any of the undiscriminating biographies so frequently found in local histories, cannot fail to be permanent and cumulative. The absence of a few more or less desirable portraits was inevitable because of the impossibility of obtaining some of them; but close inspection will show that the collection is incomparably more comprehensive and select than any other pictorial or biographical work for this locality that has hitherto been produced. The Historical Compend is classified on a novel plan, making its facts easy of reference, and includes much information which has never been published.

HISTORICAL COMPEND

The lists of authors and their works and of important inventions and their inventors are new features in local book- making, and while a few names may be lacking that should have been included, are as nearly complete as they could be made after much investigation and many letters of inquiry, aided by librarians, book-lovers, lawyers, manufacturers and others. The arduous toil of making a worthy Twentieth Century Memorial for the most attractive city in the United States—often so-called—and some vicinity villages, is ended, and the completed result is ready to be placed in the hands of its subscribers. We are sure that it will be cordially welcomed, and that the better it is known the better it will be appreciated. While many citizens have heartily co-operated and rendered valuable assistance in the preparations for the Memorial, special acknowledgements are due to Mr. Henry H. Rich, whose financial assistance has made the work possible, to Mr. J. E. Mock for the special care given the photographs from which the engravings have been produced, to Mr. William H. Samson for valuable aid in the compilation of the Historical Compend, and to The Central Printing and Engraving Company. THE PUBLISHER.

Local Authors and Their Works

All the authors in the following list are or have been residents of Rochester, except the few mentioned in connection with other near places. As the dates of the most of the publications could not be obtained, those given, with two or three exceptions, are confined to local histories. All degrees and titles are omitted. The length of the list will surprise nearly all readers ; and it may be doubted if any other city in the United States can name so large a proportion of valuable works to its population, written within a period of about seventy-five years.

Important Local Inventions

A prominent patent lawyer has expressed the opinion that Rochester has furnished a larger number of valuable inventions in proportion to population than any other city in the world. The following list indicates the most important ones, and names their inventors. Several of them have revolutionized various methods and industries, and all of them, it is believed, have gone or will go into extensive use, or are the basis of other successful inventions.
