Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crooked Narrow Streets of the Town of Boston: 1630-1822 Huxley was once asked by one of his pupils how much he should take for granted that his audience knew of the subject of which he was to speak, and the answer was, "Nothing." In writing on historical subjects, however, it is a different story. Every tolerably well-read person knows the salient facts of American history. Reference books are always at hand when the details of any given place or period are wanted. Therefore, in speaking of the streets of Boston, it will only be necessary to go rapidly and briefly over the few facts of how Boston came to be Boston. Many able writers have written books about the town, and the ground has been well covered; but in the following pages it is the object not so much to repeat the history of the town as to try to interest the present generation in the city in which they live, by telling them just where their ancestors lived and the neighborhood in which they were brought up. The history of each street has also been considered. Perhaps also those who, living at a distance, remember with affection the home of their fathers may value this record of them, for our ancestors are responsible for our lives, and their influence is still felt by us. The books consulted have been chiefly the Colony records, and reprints of the early writers in the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society and Prince Society.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... SECTION V THE NECK THE last but not the least important section into which we have divided the town is that which connects the peninsula with the main land. It takes in all that part south of Essex and Boylston Streets to the Roxbury line, just south of the present Thorndike Street, where a short stone post marks the boundary. The land begins to narrow near Essex Street, but the neck proper begins at the narrowest point, which is Dover Street. Tremont Street, south of Boylston Street, was called Nassau Street in 1735. Between Boylston and Hollis Streets it was laid out by the Eliot and Holyoke heirs in 1740, and called "Walker's Street," in 1741. In 1744 fifty pounds was paid to John Clough for the highway laid out through his land from Frog Lane to Nassau Street. In 1788 "from Orange Street by Rev. Mr. Byles house to Frog lane named Nassau Street." In 1836 it was extended to the Roxbury line, and all called Tremont Street. In 1771 "a cross way formerly so called now Holyoke Street." The lot on the southwest corner of Boylston Street was that of Robert Walker according to the Book of Possessions, but he soon sold out to Jacob Eliot, and William Powell bought it in 1763. The Eliot heirs owned as far as Hollis Street on the west side. Mather Byles bought a house and land of Abigail Stacey in 1741, about on the site of the Children's * 228 THE CROOKED STREETS OF BOSTON 229 Mission. The front part of his land was included in the widening of Tremont Street. Major John Crane, one of the Tea Party, lived opposite Hollis Street. He left Boston when the port bill went into effect and served with distinction throughout the war, succeeding Knox as colonel of the Massachusetts regiment of artillery. He was commander of the line on the neck....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Annie Haven Thwing turned her massive collection of nearly 125,000 index cards into this beloved and highly informative 1920 publication. Thwing used colony records and the Suffolk deeds to pain a picture of Boston's neighborhoods -- the North End, Government and Business Centre, South End, West End, and "The Neck" -- and their inhabitants. Her goal, in her words, was to 'interest the present generation in the city in which they live' rather than to repeat the history of Boston. The story is also told visually in seven charming maps, and twenty-four illustrations" -- Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable work, Rae Katherine Eighmey presents Franklin's delight and experimentation with food throughout his life. At age sixteen, he began dabbling in vegetarianism. In his early twenties, citing the health benefits of water over alcohol, he convinced his printing-press colleagues to abandon their traditional breakfast of beer and bread for "water gruel," a kind of tasty porridge he enjoyed. Franklin is known for his scientific discoveries, including electricity and the lightning rod, and his curiosity and logical mind extended to the kitchen. He even conducted an electrical experiment to try to cook a turkey and installed a state-of-the-art oven for his beloved wife Deborah. Later in life, on his diplomatic missions--he lived fifteen years in England and nine in France--Franklin ate like a local. Eighmey discovers the meals served at his London home-away-from-home and analyzes his account books from Passy, France, for insights to his farm-to-fork diet there. Yet he also longed for American foods; Deborah, sent over favorites including cranberries, which amazed his London kitchen staff. He saw food as key to understanding the developing culture of the United States, penning essays presenting maize as the defining grain of America. Stirring the Pot with Benjamin Franklin conveys all of Franklin's culinary adventures, demonstrating that Franklin's love of food shaped not only his life but also the character of the young nation he helped build.

Download or read book John Winthrop written by Michael Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puritan politician, lawyer, and lay theologian John Winthrop fled England in 1630 when it looked like Charles I had successfully blocked all hopes of passing Puritan-inspired reforms in Parliament. Leading a migration, he came to New England in the hopes of creating an ideal Puritan community and eventually became the governor of Massachusetts. Winthrop is remembered for his role in the Puritan migration to the colonies and for delivering what is probably the most famous lay sermon in American history, "A Model of Christian Charity." In it he proclaimed that New England would be "a city upon a hill"--an example for future colonies. In John Winthrop: Founding the City upon a Hill, Michael Parker examines the political and religious history of this iconic figure. In this short biography, bolstered by letters, sermons, and maps, John Winthrop introduces students to the colonial world, the Pequot Wars, and the history of American Exceptionalism.

Download or read book The Hidden Balance written by John Corrigan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987-07-31 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congregationalist ministers Charles Chauncy and Jonathan Mayhew were among the most influential social and religious thinkers in Boston in the mid-eighteenth century. This 1987 study argues that Chauncy and Mayhew produced a complex but coherent body of ideas and that these ideas were organized closely and self-consciously around the principle of 'balance'. Writings on society and government are treated alongside theological works, rather than separate from them, and each man's corpus is placed against the background of English ideas as well as within the context of intellectual and social life in Boston. Investigation of the ideas of Chauncy and Mayhew in this way leads to the conclusion that although the two men believed that a cosmic principle of 'balance' organized social and religious life, they believed as well that full philosophical comprehension of this principle was beyond human capability. In order to express their understanding of cosmic order, Chauncy and Mayhew appropriated the metaphor of the 'great chain of being'.
