Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered at Malden, on the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town, May 23, 1849 Friends and Fellow Citizens: It accords well with the best feelings of our nature to meet, as we do to-day, to commemorate our Fathers. Two hundred years ago they laid here the "first foundation stones" of the town of Maiden. Such is the expression of Edward Johnson, of Woburn, who, in his "History of New England, published in London in 1654, says, that these foundation stones were "laid by certain persons who issued out of Charlestown; and, indeed," he adds, Malden "had her whole structure within the bounds of this more elder town, being severed, by the broad spreading river of Mistick, the one from the other, whose troublesome passage caused the people on the north side of the river to plead for town privileges within themselves; - which accordingly was granted them." The brief record of what may be regarded as the act of incorporation by the General Court is as follows: "In answer to the petition of several inhabitants of Mistick side, their request is granted, viz. to be a distinct town of themselves, and the name thereof to be Maulden."
