L' teemed predecessors that any further repetition on our part Would be useless, and Would of necessity fall upon deaf ears. - Suffice it to say, the HOWITZER is of an ancient and honorable lineage: a volume that in the olden days has sometimes brought down upon itself the frown of the Powers that Bef' but Which may yet look back upon a past in which much real good has been accomplished, and, strong in this knowledge, may turn toward the future which With so great a promise lies stretched out before it. In the hope, then, that this book may Worthily fill its place in our hearts, We do contribute this record of our deeds and mis- deeds With the Wish that Whatever of good this volume may con- tain be not interred With our bones, but remain alive to keep green the memory of this year.
