Painesville Advertiser
From an examination OF an advance
copy of Messrs. Williams Brothers History
of Geauga and Lake Counties we are led
to the opinion that these gentlemen who
came among US few months ago, although
undertaking q huge task, haYe acquitted
themselves with credit such as could scarce
have been expected. We think the book
will be a most agreeable surprise even to
those who entertained the highest expeeta-
tions Of its excellence. 1t is evident that
the publishers have spared neither care or
expense III the collection and presentation
Of the great mass Of historical information
contained in the two hundred and sixty
broad, double -eolumned, folio pages OF the
book.
