Excerpt from A History and Genealogy of the Descendants of William Hammond: Of London, England, and His Wife Elizabeth Penn; Through Their Son, Benjamin of Sandwich and Rochester, Mass;, 1600-1894 "Here lies the volume thou boldly hast sought."- Sir W. Scott. "A chiel's amang ye taking notes, and faith he'll prent it." - Anon. "Your pardon, good sirs, the table is spread." - Old Play. "Go, little booke, God send thee good passage, And specially let this be thy prayere, Unto them all that will thee read or hear, Where thou art wrong, after their help to call, Thee to correct, in any part or all." - Chaucer. "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. And he whose heart beats the quickest, lives the longest; Lives in one hour more than in years do some Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips through their veins." - P. J. Bailey.
