To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Any project of the kind could assume but one of two forms; annexation to Wind- ham, or annexation to Townshend. Windham was the more conveniently situated, but its inhabitants stoutly resisted the measure. They did not care to make South Windham the place of holding their town meetings. Among the attractions presented to Acton by Townshend, were a cordial desire for the union and a grand-list more than double that of Windham. Under an article in the warning "To see if the town will take further... measures for the annexation of the town to Windham," Joseph Jennison, Eli Smith and Pliney Fisher were chosen on the first day of September, 1840, "a Committee to take such measures as they shall think best for al- tering the condition of the town, as mentioned in the second article of the warrant for the meeting." It was soon ascertained that Windham could not be persuaded to favor its enlargement in the manner proposed, and the idea of being united to that town was then abandoned. The population and wealth of Acton were gradually diminishing while the burden of its liabilities was increasing.
