PREFACE.

THE first volume of the "KENTUCKY STATE REGISTER," prepared for the year 1847, is now presented to the community for their patronage. The utility of the work cannot be questioned. We have endeavored to make it a book useful to every citizen, and believe we have consummated that desideratum. There are, doubtless, many errors in names of individuals, which it was impossible for us to correct, originating, as they did, in the difficulty experienced in deciphering the writing of the returns from some of the Counties. We have strenuously endeavored to guard against errors, and trust that our efforts have been somewhat successful.

Should we, at a future period, issue another volume, we shall be able to free it from many imperfections contained in the present.

We contemplated giving a tabular view of the Schools in Kentucky, but the Returns were too imperfect to carry out successfully, the design.

We would here return our warmest acknowledgments to His Excellency Governor Owsley,

Hon. Secretary of State George B. Kinkead, and his assistant, A. S. Mitchell, Esq., Hon. James Harlan, Prof. Henry Pirtle, and many others, who have rendered us much aid in procuring the matter for the "REGISTER."

Should the present volume meet with a liberal patronage, it will be succeeded by others. We cherish a hope that our labors will be approved of by our fellow-citizens.

Louisville, Nov. 1846,

THE EDITOR.
