SOMERSET COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.
soil and attractive in its climate, drew to itself a hun-
dred and fifty years ago not only the best agricultu-
rists of Holland and Scotland, but some of the best
brains of those two intellectual nations ; and from
these two early peoples, which settled respectively its
southern and northern portions, now intermarried and
with blood intermingled, have sprung descendants
â– who have imparted strength and vigor to the thought
and culture of the passing century. There will be
found some grand old Scotch names in the list of au-
thors below, and yet the Hollandish names predomi-
nate, because the deep-thinking Dutch composed
three-fourths of our early population.
An analysis of the list so far as one can be made —
in which the total number of newspaper and maga-
zine contributions is but roughly estimated from the
imperfect data given — reveals the following facts :
Whole number of Somerset authors 144
Clergymen 80
Lawyers 27
Physicians 6
Teachers 8
Miscellaneous occupations 23
— 144
Men 134
Women 10
— 144
Authors living 89
Authors deceased 55
— 144
Number of books published 179
Number of pamplets published 479
Numberoi" leading articles published in news-
papers and magazines, law opinions, state
papers, etc. (lowest estimate) 21,251 â–
A total of. 21,909
That the list is complete as to either the authors or
their publications is not professed ; in the nature of
things, it cannot be. Some names of newspaper edi-
tors, and all names of mere reporters, have been
omitted, although they may have writing for the
press for years, because some line of demarcation
between writers of things solely ephemeral, and series
of articles or contributions of a more permanent
nature, was necessary. The compiler would be pleased
to have information concerning any errors of what-
soever nature, that they may be corrected on a future
occasion.
