Excerpt from book: HISTORY OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS. As early as 168O a bank was established in Boston. No account of its operations, however, has survived. It had an ephemeral existence, not probably extending beyond 1689. In 1714 a project for the establishment of a bank was presented to the Legislature, but a charter was refused. Notwithstanding this official negative, a meeting was held and notice was given that '' there will be attendance at the Sun Tavern of Boston weekly to complete the subscriptions for entering into partnership. Within two months from the publication of this notice, directors of the bank were chosen and circulating bills issued to the amount of 100,000. Almost as little is known of this bank as of its predecessor, but during its brief existence it was the source of considerable embarrassment and trouble to the colony. In 1733 sundry merchants and others of Boston, in order to supply the deficiency of a circulating medium, and to counteract the circulation of a large issue of Rhode Island colonial bills in Boston, formed a private bank and issued paper to the nominal value of 110,000, redeemable in ten years with silver at nineteen shillings an ounce. A committee of the Legislature reported that the merchants' notes emitted by Boston gentlemen should be backed with greater security. The notes, however, continued to circulate, and were rated at thirty-three and one-third per cent. higher than the currency issued by the Province. Still another attempt at banking was made in 1739-40. There were then outstanding bills of credit to the amount of over 200,000, which were under royal instructions to be redeemed during the year 1741, The treasury being empty, there was no way of effecting the redemption of the notes except by a direct tax, which was not expected to yiel...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professional and Industrial History of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Vol. 3 of 3 These comparative disadvantages put Boston to a sharp test, and helped to develop its character. Boston was obliged to work hard, and to mix its toil with farsighted intelligence. The character of Boston is best shown in its institutions, and not the least, perhaps, in the general organization and management of the community. L-vhoever wishes to understand and appreciate Massachusetts, Should read her laws, and ascertain what they effected. Our public laws, after all, are the quint essence of our public life no less than of our joint ambition and public morals. They are the outcome of what the community for the time being wants. To the historian they are the backbone of all researches. The sources for a constitutional history of Boston, therefore, are the town orders and the town records, interpreted by the acts of the town officers, on the one hand, and by the Massachusetts statutes and records, on the other. The first period of Boston, in the history of its constitu tion the most important, begins with the settlement under the patent, in 1630, and ends with the granting of the Province Charter, in 1691-92. The chief sources are the second and seventh Report of the Boston Record Commissioners (ed. Of the Colonial Laws of Massachu setts, edited, after the editions of 1660 and 11572, by 7. H. Hitmore (1889 and and the Records of the Governor and Company of Massachusetts Bay (1853 - 4, 5 vols. In Six parts.)

This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professional and Industrial History of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Vol. 2 of 3 Three or four years ago we chanced to see a learned and elaborate work, Bruxelles a Travers les Ages, in which the history of Brussells was traced and illustrated from the Silurian epoch, through all the geologic periods, to the time when mammals and then man appeared upon the scene, and so on to the present day. In writing of the trade and commerce of Boston, or of Suffolk county, we do not propose to go back to prehistoric times; although, for our narration to be exhaustive, it might well include some account of the fishes of the tertiary period. For the commerce of these shores' had the fisheries as its basis, long before the arrival of vvinthrop's fleet at Salem, or of the Mayflozwr at Plymouth. The settlement of Massachusetts, says Sabine, is to be traced directly to the fisheries. A Boston newspaper writer in 17 9 gave this judgment: The Newfoundland fishery is a source of wealth as valuable to us, as the hills of Potosi to the Spaniards; another writer in a Boston newspaper, soon after the peace of 1783, in a series of arti cles on American commerce, said that the mackerel fishery was of more value to Massachusetts than would be the pearl fisheries of Cey lon; and a writer in the [von/z American lx'c'irz'mcr in 1854 expressed a similar opinion: The Banks of Newfoundland are, have been, and ever will be, worth as much to the commercial world as the valley of the Sacramento, or the auriferous quartz ridges of the Sierra Nevada.
