  Prehistory 
  is 
  our 
  primary 
  object. 
  We 
  intend 
  if 
  possible 
  to 
  bring 
  

   into 
  the 
  intellectual 
  grasp 
  of 
  the 
  men 
  of 
  today 
  the 
  life 
  and 
  conditions 
  

   of 
  the 
  various 
  peoples 
  who 
  held 
  the 
  Empire 
  State 
  before 
  us. 
  To 
  

   attain 
  the 
  highest 
  results 
  the 
  cooperation 
  of 
  every 
  citizen 
  interested 
  

   in 
  history 
  and 
  archeology 
  is 
  invited. 
  Information 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  localities 
  

   of 
  aboriginal 
  occupation 
  is 
  highly 
  desirable. 
  Donations 
  of 
  col- 
  

   lections 
  accompanied 
  by 
  as 
  complete 
  data 
  as 
  possible 
  are 
  especially 
  

   sought. 
  It 
  is 
  our 
  desire 
  to 
  keep 
  in 
  touch 
  with 
  every 
  one 
  interested 
  

   in 
  New 
  York 
  archeology 
  and 
  ethnology 
  and 
  any 
  correspondence 
  

   upon

  or

  ever 
  be 
  welcome.
