THE CROSBY ANNALS. Word has reached
The Journal office that the question of print
ing Gov. VIM. G. Crosby's Annals of Belfast in
book form is beng agitated. There is no
doubt whatever but that this detailed record
of persons and events in this community dur
ing the first half of the last century, is worthy
of preservation in more permanent form than
in the pages of a newspaper. AS the readers
of The Journal are aware, the Annals not only
possess an historical value, but have dis
tinct literary flavor and afford interesting
and amusing reading. Printed on the same
size paper as that used for the Williamson's
History of Belfast, and similarly bound, they
would make book of about AGO pages, and
would be fitting companion to those volumes.
If the prophecy contained in the closing chap
ter of the annals, which we quote below, is to
be fulfilled, they must be reprinted: for it is
doubtful if the wood-pulp paper used in the
newspapers of this day will stand the hardships
of the half q century to Gomez,
The annals of this town, embracing record
of the daily walks. trials. joys and sorrows of
a century ago would be treasure to US of
this day; perhaps this imperfect record may
be SO to those who walk in our footsteps a
century hence.
