Excerpt from A History and Genealogy of the Descendants of William Hammond: Of London, England, and His Wife Elizabeth Penn; Through Their Son, Benjamin of Sandwich and Rochester, Mass;, 1600-1894

The present work, commenced eight years ago amid the exacting cares and duties of a large-professional practice. Was completed during a long and tedious convalescence. And although many times it was extremely trying and disheartening, yet on the whole it has been a fascinating and, at times. A pleasant pastime.

When the writer first commenced collecting statistics it was with no idea of publication. But the work grew to such dimensions that it seemed best to carry it to completion for the benefit of the name of which it treats.

A few words are desirable as to the scope of the work, its plan, and the sources from which the materials have been obtained.
