Excerpt from A New American Biographical Dictionary Be It Remembered, that on the fourth day of August in the forty-ninth year of the Independence of the United States oi America, A. D. 1824, Thomas J. Rogers, of the said District, hath deposited in this office the Title of a Book, the right whereof he claims as proprietor, in the words following, to wit: "A new American Biographical Dictionary; or Remembrancer of the departed Heroes, Sages, and Statesmen, of America. Confined exclusively to those who have signalized themselves in either capacity in the Revolutionary War, which obtained the Independence of their country. Third Edition, with important alterations and additions. Compiled by Thomas J. Rogers." "Whether we consider the intrinsic gallantry of our revolutionary heroes and "statesmen, the sufferings they endured, or the inestimable value of the "blessings they obtained, no nation has prouder examples to appeal to than "the American people: no nation was ever called on by stronger obliga- "tions of gratitude, to honor their characters and to consecrate their me- "mories." In conformity to the Act of the Congress of the United States, entitled, "An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned." And also to the act entitled, "An act supplementary to an act, entitled "An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned," and extending the benefit thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints."
