danger that the N. Y. & ‘N. H. Railroad
would pass round our _city instead of go-
ing through it; but we now learn that
there is such danger, and that strenuous
efforts are being made to effect such a re-
sult. This is poor pay for the efforts made
in New llaven to procure the charter and
prevent the Danbury and llartford enter-
prise from destroying it after it was ob-
tained. Many persons subscribed to the
N. Y. Railroad, with the expectation that
the depot would be “up tovrri.” We think
it would be most unfortiina'c for the inter-
ests of the city, says the N. H. Palladium,-
if the track of the road should be laid
along the sliore—and it seems to us, that
it would le the worst possible route for
the interests of the road so far as New

It is obvious that the expeiiso must be consid-
erable, and that the field for the sale of such a
work is very liinited. 11: cannot be published
without a very general and liberal subscription.

the dc.-'cciidaiits ofthe early settlers of Norwalk
well liistrade, would be liberally supported.—

‘.2. Tlui'r, as the work will never be printed-

to t.lie probable sale, many will desire to secure’
several copies foi' their children.
3. Tliiit many iiiay desire to secure copies
for their distant frieiuls.
4. That the inhabitants of Norwalk will gen-
erally wish to patronize the work, as one of

5. That others may wish to possess such a
full illustration of the planting and pi'ogr«-'ss of
an ancient New England town.

The above proposals were circulated exten-
sively among the inhabitants of Norwalk, seine
months since ; but with so little eiicourageuient.
that the compiler relinquished the idea of pub-
lishing the work. Having been informed that
there is, notwithstaiiding, a very general and
strong desire that the work should be published;
and bolieviiig that its materials possess too much
iiiterest to the numerous descoiidaiits of the
early settlers of Norwalk, to allow them wil-
lingly to lose an opportunity to possess them ;
the compiler is induced to bring the subject be-
fore this community once more, he does not;
intend to circulate subscriptions any more, but
invites those who wish for the work to leave
their names, in the course of one or two weeks,
at the store of Jas. LVI.-x1.1.omr 6: Co., or of
I. E. Disnnow, and if a sufficient" number of
copies shall he wanted to warrant the expense,
the work will be put; to press immediately.
As it is desirable that the work should be as
complete as possible, the compiler will be much
obliged if every subscriber will send liiui, imme-
oiately, free of expense, :1 copy of all such fain-
ily records of the "inhabitants of Norwalk be-
tween the years 1651 and 1800. as may be in
