Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Discourses Containing the History of the Old North and New Brick Churches, United as the Second Church in Boston, Delivered May 20, 1821: At the Completion of a Century From the Dedication of the Present Meeting-House in Middle Street We are not confined, however, in this survey, to the history of the last hundred years, but are led back through the seventy years previous. It is well known to many of you, though probably not to all, that the church in this place is formed by the union of two churches. When the Old North meeting-house, which stood at the head of North Square, had been destroyed by the British troops at the commencement of the revolutionary war, the minister and people united with the minister and people worshipping in this house, and became one church and congregation with them. The late venerable Dr. Lathrop, who so long ministered here, was ordained not over the church in this place, but over the church in North Square, and became pastor of the church in this place by the transfer of his relation after his own meeting-house had been destroyed. We are therefore equally interested in the history of the Old North, as of the New Brick church, for it was equally the home of our ancestors. It is a history, too, that deserves our attention; for it was the second religious establishment in this important place, and numbers amongst its ministers some of the remarkable names of New England. To this, therefore, I ask your first attention. The town of Boston having been settled in 1630, ten years after the landing at Plymouth, the first building for publick worship was erected in 1632. This was sufficient for the accommodation of the inhabitants for nearly twenty years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
