Book excerpt: Excerpt from King's Dictionary of Boston In the growth and development of Boston, the problem has presented itself To what extent, and on what conditions, may one generation rightly and wisely burden. Those which are to follow it by a debt incurred for some costly enter prise for the public good It has been only in quite recent years that this question has been pressed with much stringency, Opening in the discussion of it strong variances of opinion. In our early, simple, frugal, and, it must be added, our hardest times, there had been no occasion to raise the question; and, had it been raised, it would have been summarily disposed of. Very im pressive to us is the reminder that the first occupants and subduers of this soil, the first to turn it to the uses of civilized life, with dwellings and fortifications, highways, meeting-houses, school-houses, granaries, water-conduits, and fire ap paratus, thoroughly followed the rule to pay as you go. And the exaction was often a severe one. It never occurred to any magistrate to suggest, Our children are to have the benefit of this why not leave it for them to pay a part of the expense There was no chance for bloated bondholders then. When, six years after the settlement, the proposition was approved for founding a college, the country-rate, or tax for the current year, was at once doubled. Military expenses are always the costliest, and are regarded as most closely involving the welfare of posterity. But year by year, in their warfare with the savages, the magistrates of Boston resolutely paid their way, filling and clearing their scanty exchequer; and it was not till the struggle was complicated with, and made insupportable by, the cash resources of the people, on account of burdensome war with the French, that we hear anything of a funded debt and of paper money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Americanisms: A Glossary of Words and Phrases Usually Regarded as Peculiar the United States The first edition of this Dictionary was published in New York in 1848. It met with a quick sale, and soon passed out of print. Aware of its many imperfections, I began my preparations for a new edition before it had fully left the press. From that time to the day the last sheets of this edition left my hands for the printer, now ten years, I have been more or less occupied in its preparation. Nearly three years of this period I spent in the interior of the country, in the service of the United States as Commissioner on the Mexican Boundary; but even there, I failed not to note the peculiarities of the familiar language of the frontier, and carefully recorded the words and phrases I met with for future use. This experience enabled me to collect the singular words occurring in prairie and frontier life as well as those com mon to Texas, New Mexico, and California. Most of these have come from the Spanish, and are now fairly engrafted on our language. The other alterations and improvements made in this edition, consist in the addition of a very large number Of words and phrases peculiar to the United States; so that it now contains probably twice as many as the first edition. The examples or illustrations from authors, showing the use of words, have also been greatly multiplied. This seemed desirable, as exam ples convey a far more correct idea of their meaning and use than a simple definition. The. Histories of words and their definitions have also been corrected and improved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
