Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society: At the Annual Meeting, January 12, 1897 So novel an institution as the Massachusetts town occa sioned a series of new terms. The place where the town met was called the meeting-house. Our Dorchester Town Records have the term by October 8, 1633. The word. Is largely secular in meaning. Perhaps the word church was avoided, for the Massachusetts settlers had no idea of being associated with the Church of England. But their meeting-house was more than a place for common worship. At the Boston Meeting-house were held the General Courts, the early law courts, and all town meetings. Accordingly, one might ask which interest predominated, the Spiritual or the temporal. At any rate, temporal affairs were not neg lected; and there is room, perhaps, for the belief that the secular interest controlled. But the term town meeting came up slowly, if our public records are to be relied upon. It occurs in the Massachusetts Records (i, 275) on Septem ber 9, 1639, and in the Boston Town Records on September 28, 1640. The earlier form was general meeting, due, perhaps, to the fact that it was attended by men in general, without much regard to charter, General Court, or the pre rogative of freemen, whose number was microscopic in 1630, and not overwhelming at any time. The characteristic officer of the town came to be called selectman, apparently not without some implied warning; for the select bodies of Queen Elizabeth's time (4 Co. 77) were known to the men of Boston. We find the term selectmen in the Boston Records of March 4 and 28, 1642. These selectmen took care of the prudentials, meaning the Civil affairs of the town, as distinguished from criminal matters, which were left to the general government. All these terms remain all have a local meaning, and all illustrate the English origin of the founders, together with the novel experiment they made in this New World, when they laid the foundations of a new nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society: At the Annual Meeting, January 12, 1886 Now that the nation has attained this truly independent position, it is natural that its citizens should wish to preserve the history of the events that led to the foundation of the republic and keep green the memory of those who pledged life, property and honor to build it. Public Opinion is stronger to-day in the belief that a Visible relic of the past tends to emphasize and strengthen an historic fact and it is better, even though in the pathway of trade, commerce and money-getting, that an occasional monument of that which is good and grand in the history of the past, should stand a challenging fact, rather than all should be swept away and dependence be placed solely upon the printed pages of the historian.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society: At the Annual Meeting, January 12, 1909 The Twenty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Bostonian Society was held in the Council Chamber of the Old State House, Boston, on Tuesday, January 12, 1909, at 3 P.M., in accordance with a notice mailed to every member. President James Frothingham Hunnewell occupied the chair, and the records of the last annual and monthly meetings were read by the Clerk, and approved. President Hunnewell then delivered his Annual Address. Historical Museums in a Dozen Countries. Fellow Members of the Bostonian Society: The Bostonian Society, among its purposes and operations, forms and maintains a collection of objects illustrating our civil and domestic history. Historical Museums, as such collections are called, are rather modern in date, although composed of old materials. They exist now in every enlightened country, and, for information or guidance, we may well find what they are. Numerous minor collections cannot be mentioned in an Address of moderate length; the important and greater furnish more than ample subject-matter, and descriptions of them must be condensed, as there are over forty that I have seen, and about which I have made notes and wish to speak.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society at the Annual Meeting, January 12, 1904 When Charles Dickens came to Boston in 1842, he sailed from Liverpool on the Britannia 0f the Cunard Line, the voy age, via Halifax, taking eighteen days. That vessel was a side-wheel steamer of 1200 tons, and Dickens tells us that People stood upon the wharf in Liverpool gazing with a kind of dread delight on the far-famed fast American steamer. This wonder Of her day was 207 feet long, and 34 feet, 4 inches broad. She was built of wood and carried 114 passengers. The Britannia was the pioneer of the great Cunard Line.

Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society, at the Annual Meeting, January 10, 1893 Local pride actuates us to a certain degree in carrying out, as far as lies in our power, the Objects of the Bostonian Society To promote the study of the history of Boston and preserve its antiquities. We all know that the early history of Boston is an impor tant chapter in the history of the founders of the Great Repub lic, and the establishment of those principles of civil and religious liberty that we now enjoy. The preservation of such antiquities as can be preserved without materially inter tering with the march Of progress is of advantage, as has been frequently demonstrated, in keeping visible mementoes to perpetuate and emphasize important events that have influence upon the progress of the city or the nation. As this Society increases in years, the importance Of its work and the influence it can exert become more evident. It is not only important that we may continually recall and keep alive the early history of Boston, and the events that occurred here leading to national independence, but the history subsequent to that event, down to our own times.
