Book excerpt: Excerpt from City of Lynn, Massachusetts Semi-Centennial of Incorporation: Events and Exercises of the 50th Anniversity Celebration Held May 13th, 14th and 15th, 1900 To preserve a memorial of the important event which this year has transpired in the history of the City of Lynn was the purpose of the 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee in directing the publication of this volume. Assigned to the duty of conducting the celebration, the Committee deemed that duty fulfilled only when it had caused to be placed on record, in form for convenient reading and reference, all that was of value in a historical sense in the exercises which the celebration embraced. The book is designed to take a place in the growing collection of local historical literature and to go abroad to add to the store elsewhere possessed of knowledge pertaining to Lynn. Its chief function will be, it is hoped, to acquaint coming generations with the life and character, the public spirit and high emprise, of Lynn as she stands at the end of fifty years of city life and of two hundred and seventy-one years as a New England community. To the undersigned, members of the Celebration Committee, was intrusted the work of publication, and they in turn called to their aid, as Editor, Hon. Walter L. Ramsdell, whose general plan of the work, submitted beforehand, was considered worthy of adoption, and whose adaptability to the task was unquestioned. To his painstaking efforts is due, in a large measure, the merit which the book is confidently expected to attain in the public estimation. Acknowledgments are due to many who gave assistance in the preparation of the matter, the services thus rendered having been in most cases in addition to generous contributions of time and effort toward the success of the celebration itself.
