HISTORY OF BROOKLYN.

 able Record and Genealogical Work.

Miss Felicia Terry of Brooklyn has written a history of Brooklyn that is intensely interesting, not only to the residents of that town who have been reading it, but fully as much so to the residents of the towns about Brooklyn ly associated with BrOoklyn's inter ests. Miss Terry has not only shown discrimination in selecting from a mass of data the most valuable and highly important historical facts, but has exhibited coInmendable literary skill in assembling them in useable re- view of the early settlement and founding of the township and of the customs and conditions under which it's first families lived. Brooklyn has proud history and many are getting much pleasure out of reviewing it, as set down by Miss Terry.
