Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Address: Delivered at the Commemoration One Hundredth Anniversary of the First Annual Town Meeting of the Town of Salisbury, October 20, A. D. 1841 At a legal Town Meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Salisbury, holden October 20th, 1841, it was Voted, That the thanks of this Town be presented to the Hon. Samuel Church, for the Address he has this day delivered. Voted, That the Committee of Arrangements be directed to request of Judge Church a copy of his Address, to be printed under the direction of the Selectmen. To The Committee of Arrangements: Gentlemen - I have this day received from the Town Clerk and from the Secretary of your Board, the foregoing votes, requesting a copy of the Address delivered by me at our Centennial Town Meeting, October 20th, 1841, for publication. I have hesitated much whether in justice to myself I ought to permit the Address to be published. It was not intended originally for the public, but rather to give some additional interest to our Commemorative Meeting. Besides, I have had neither leisure nor patience to prepare it for the public eye. If you receive it, gentlemen, you must be content to receive it with all its imperfections. So far as it purports to give a history of our Town, I think it may be relied upon as correct; at least, as nearly so as it could be made by a very cautious dependence upon well authenticated tradition, and a resort to public records and private documents. If its publication will add at all to the gratification of the inhabitants of my native Town, or to the pleasure of our widely-dispersed friends abroad, to whom I am under many obligations of gratitude, I consent to it.
