PREFACE.


  THE first volume of the "1 KENTUCKY STAn
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 im-
possible 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 vol-
ume, we shall be able to free it from many imper-
fections 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 acknowl-
edgments to His Excellency Governor Owsley,

 
Vi               PREFACE.

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.
                            THE EDITOR.
  Louisville, Nov. 1846.
