A portion of the building will be set off for a mu- seum and library, which will contain relics of the Indians and early settlers of Dorchester and every work obtainable relating to the early history of the town. The following history of the old Blake house was prepared and read by Mr. James H. Stark at a recent meeting of the society, and was greatly appreciated by the members: — History of the Blake House and Family. The ancient and respectable family of Blake is of British extraction, and tr...aditionally descended from Aplake, whose name appears as one of the Knights of King Arthur's Table. Succeeding generations, however, seem to have paid little at- tention to the orthography of the name, so variously do we find it written. Its Etymology. In the first instance, by dropping the initial letter it was rendered P-Blake, and then, by compression, Plake, one en- tire word, both of which alike produce a sound and utterance uncouth and unharmonious. It was corrupted into Blague, to the confusion of all etymological explanation, had it so con- tinued, but chance or design applied a remedy by substituting [6] Blaake, and ultimately Blake, which latter reading took place many centuries back, and has continued invariably the same from that period.
