First sentence: The history of Petroleum is so much a matter of tradition and so familiar to all, that in presenting even an outline of such facts as it might seem important to record as reliable, the double difficulty is encountered, not only of rehearsing well worn statements, but also that of displacing and brushing away many errors, fancies and misconceptions that from the peculiar circumstances attending the excitement of its rapid and astonishing development, have grown from constant repetition to be considered as positive truth.
