_The author takes occasion to make grateful acknowledgment to
the Schuyler family, and to Senator Bettina Schuyler Sterling in
particular, for the privilege of access to the diaries of the late
Rebekka Schuyler Renchler._
_It has been a task requiring the utmost delicacy to step lightly
through the aisles of her pages; and only because of the great interest
that centers around even the minutiæ of the life of David Schuyler,
has the author ventured to quote from so precious and so private a
family-document._
_By virtue of this handsome grant of access to the diaries, the public
again becomes beneficiary of the Schuyler family._
