To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cam- bridge has its own history. It " did become the seat of government, and for aught which appears Digitized by VjOOQIC to the contrary, it might have retained that dis- tinction if the principal inhabitants had not re- moved." In the colony taxes for 1633, Boston and Cambridge were assessed, in the same sum, ;^48, and Dorchester in ;£8o. But in 1637 Boston paid ;£$g 4$"., and Cambridge but ;£29 12s. In the levy for the Pequot war in 1637, Boston was called upon for thirty-five men, and Cambr...idge for twelve. The settlement on the other side of the river was out- stripping this in wealth and population. Even a windmill which had been erected here was, in 1632, removed to Boston, " because where it first stood it would not grind but with a westerly wind." The mill was like the men, some may think, much set in its own way. But we ought to remember from what region the west winds blew.
The village here was to make its own peculiar renown. The true founder and father of our town was Thomas Shepard, whose name is preserved, in several ways in the city, and whose story should be familiar to every boy.
