Excerpt from Notes, Geographical and Historical, Relating to the Town of Brooklyn, on Long-Island
Considering the period at which they were written, Furman's "Notes on Brooklyn" possess extraordinary merit as a local history. Clear in their style - accurate, in the main, as to facts, there is, within these modest duodecimo pages, more of the condensed results of thoughtful research and careful analysis, than is apparent to one who has not made the history of Brooklyn a particular study. Yet, in presenting to the public a new edition of the "Notes," the "Faust Club" have been mainly influenced by a desire to rescue from fast gathering oblivion the memory of the first, and, up to this time, the ablest historian of Brooklyn. For, though but ten years have elapsed since his death, yet owing to the peculiar reticence of his character, and his solitary manner of life, he seems to have become, even in the minds of those who best knew him, almost forgotten.
It is, then, in the light of a testimonial to the memory of our foremost scholar and antiquarian, that we would have this reprint regarded.
