This Historical and Traditional Narrative of Lambertville, N. J., comprises a collection of facts told me by the aged grandsons of Emanuel Coryell, the founder of this city, and also by his great-great-grand- children, who were the companions of my youth.

Much of this knowledge has been confirmed or cor- rected by old letters and documents kindly furnished me by descendants of the Coryell family.

I have also mentioned many events that have transpired within my own recollection, having been born in the place on the thirteenth day of September, eighteen hundred and twenty-one. Since that time my residence here has been a continuous one, being at the time of the writing of this article eighty-one years of age.
