Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Province of Massachusetts-Bay: From the Charter of King William and Queen Mary, in 1691, Until the Year 1750 The constitution and historical occurrences of the colonies in America become, every day, more and more, subjects of speculation in Great-Britain. To this I attribute the favorable reception given, there, to my history of the colony of Massachusetts-bay, which I intended merely for the benefit of my own countrymen, and to preserve, among them, the remembrance of facts but little interesting to the rest of the world. The perusal of the materials from which I composed my work, especially the letters and papers of our first planters, afforded me a very sensible pleasure. We are fond of prolonging our lives to the utmost length. Going back to so familiar an acquaintance with those who have lived before us, approaches the nearest to it of any thing we are capable of, and is, in some fort, living with them.

Excerpt: ... session being held at Boston, the house and council 1770 voted that the assembly should be removed to Cambridge. He refused to consent, because it was giving up his prerogative. He called the next assembly to sit at Cambridge, the small pox being in Boston. Before any other business was done, he gave his consent to a vote that had passed the two houses, reciting the reason of his calling them there, and their acquiescence, and declaring that, for the reasons aforesaid, the assembly shall and may be now held at Cambridge, no exception or advantage to be taken hereby respecting the power of removing the assembly from place to place. By this equivocal vote, the governor imagined that he had preserved his authority entire. In 1728, Mr. Burnet, from the opposition he met with from the inhabitants of Boston in his controversy concerning the fixing of a salary upon the governor, removed the assembly to Salem, where, for some weeks, the house did not proceed to business; and it was then urged, that the writ for convening the assembly established the town house in Boston as the place for holding it. To this he answered, that those words in the writ were mere form, and, like other words in it, exempli gratia only . They then proceeded to business. He afterwards removed them to Cambridge. They had several times, besides, sat at Cambridge and Concord, when the small pox had been in Boston. The king directed Mr. Belcher to meet them at Salisbury in 1737; and, since the year 1728, no doubt had been made of the authority of the governor to appoint place, as well as time, for the meeting of the assembly. Both council and house now determined to make a serious affair of it.and both forbore to do any business; This law being laid before the attorney and...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisoners of Fortune: A Tale of the Massachusetts Bay Colony On this day, the roth of August in the year of grace 1757, it being my sixtieth birthday and a hot and sticky one and the flies bothering me so that there was no comfort in dozing in my chair, after my light noon meal of pork and beans and cheese and meat pie, with a mug of cider and a pipe thereafter, I sat up of a sudden, to slap and to light my pipe over again; and thereupon formed, on the spur of the moment, an extraordinary resolution. Now I am fond of cogitating over the curious relation that events of importance in our lives bear to small and even silly ones, and how the lesser may be progenitor of the greater; and so I have often wondered since how much the biting of the flies had to do with the formation of this resolution.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Province Galley of Massachusetts Bay, 1694-1716: A Chapter of Early American Naval History Captain Thomas Dobbins, previously commander of the ship Nonesuch, was the first commander. He was at this time about forty-four years of age, and is said to have been a favorite of Governor Phipps, who was responsible for his appointment. In 1694, instructions, dated Boston, August 8, were given Captain J ohn Alden to embark on the Province Galley, Captain Thomas Dobbins, com mander, and proceed to Pemaquid to see if any In dians had been talked with in regard to peace and re prisals, and also to go to Penobscot to see if any Indians were concerned in the murders there.' Captain Dobbins was succeeded later in the same year by Captain Samuel Mould, probably of Charlestown. Reports of seventeen French vessels being fitted out at Petit Goave in 1693 for the purpose of intercepting Eng lish vessels bound for the West Indies was the signal for renewed activities among the colonists. Lieutenant-gov cruor Stoughton, in a letter dated February 11, 1694-5, to the government of Connecticut, asking them to provide twenty able seamen for the Province Galley until the end of the summer of 1694, wrote, This Province is so dreyned of men by the calamities of the war, sickness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bay Colony: A Civil, Religious and Social History of the Massachusetts Colony and Its Settlements From the Landing at Cape Ann in 1624 to the Death of Governor Winthrop in 1650 Of intense interest to its people, and to the many scattered throughout the United States who are of Massachusetts lineage. The causes which led to its settlement; the char acter of the men who laid the foundation stones; the governments they instituted; the provisions they made for religious worship and for the educa tion of the people cannot be too often adverted to or studied. As there are many facts of this period which have not been fully developed, and as writers upon it have differed in some important particulars, it has seemed to me that a history of the period, pre pared from the records and other accepted author ities, would be of value. I have, accordingly, writ ten this work with special reference to the subjects stated on the title-page. Yet the subjects named are so interwoven with the general history of the time, that it has been necessary to incorporate much of it in the work, as illustrating and explain ing the main topics of investigation.
