Copyright 1844 by John W. Barber and Henry Howe. Facsimile reprint. Originally published: New York : S. Tuttle, 1844. Includes index.
Summary:
"First published in 1844, this collaboration of American historians John Warner Barber (1798-1885) and Henry Howe (1816-1893) was Howe's second book with Barber, the first being their 'history and antiquities' of the state of New York. In the style of their other works, this is a first-rate gazetteer. Readers will benefit greatly from the township index at the beginning of the book. Information about the history, geography, industry, population, and more is organized by county; within each county are details on select townships, also in alphabetical order. Township sketches include lists of key buildings (especially churches and schools) and a wealth of interesting historical tidbits. As always, Barber's own engravings, in addition to street plans and drawings of battlefields, enhance readers' enjoyment and understanding of pre-Civil War New Jersey."
