Excerpt from Social Index and Blue Book of Springfield, 1889
It is proper to state that the editors fully recognize as good people out of this book as in it. With the criterion, however, on which the list is based active prominence in fashionable society and church-social affairs, it can comprise only those who, for various reasons, are thus notable in the several social exchanges of the city.
Criticism doubtless there will be, for, as in the choice of one thousand books, while two-thirds, or more, might be generally agreed upon, as to the rest there would be varying individual Opinion.
