At the table where the minister sat on Sunday or on lecture day sat at other times the moderator of the town. Worshippers were not summoned to church by a bell, for for thirty years there was no bell. A drummer 14 Old Northampton went through the streets or a trumpet was sounded from meeting-house hill. The origin of the New England town is an open question, but one thing is sure, — that the men who first settled here were not past masters in the art of government. The records of the town show ...order and system only slowly emerging from confusion and un- certainty. By homely methods, by the steady application of common sense, the fabric of a vigorous and intelligent political life was built up. These men brought with them no finished institutions. Experimentation was the order of the day. Town meetings were held six or ten or twelve times a year ; for the town had much to do. All land lots were assigned by vote of the citizens in town meeting, and for some time no one might sell his land without the consent of the town.
