And Guide to Massachusetts State Legislative Documents, 1802-1882 ^A^^ sH.3'-:ro Y^ COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS MSSACHUSETTS ^ INDEX AND GUIDE TO \ STATE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS 1^02-1882 Compiled by Francis X. Blouin Jr. Massachusetts State Library- George Fingold Library- State House, Boston 1972 MASSACHUSETTS STATE LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS l802-iaS2 During the nineteenth century, the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts experienced an almost complete transformation. The changes which took place during those years touched all aspects of life and segments of society within the state. The popiolation, continually increasing, became in many ways diversified. The mobility of existing population and immigra- tion produced numerous changes in the political, social and intellectual life of the state. Once dependent on agriculture and shipping, the state by 1880 was one of the most industrial- ized in the nation. The nineteenth century population experienced rapid urbanization as nximerous new cities and towns arose throughout the state and population increased in those already in existence. By the l880*s the state seemed much smaller as canals and especially the railroad provided a transportation network which latticed the entire state. One of the more active participants in this process of change was the IVIass, General Court. Though perhaps as much an observer as participant, the General Court , through consider- ation of various petitions and reports placed before it, left behind a mound of legislative documents regarding various as- pects of political, economic, and social life in 19th century Massachusetts, In all more than 15,000 separate pieces of legislation were considered during the years 1802-1882, Most of these dociiments have remained lost between the covers of the enormous volvimes in which the bills and reports are bound. Those which ultimately became acts or resolves could be easily traced, and of course all are referenced, however briefly, in the Journals of the House and Senate, But it has been difficult to locate bills by subject. 11 This index is a subject guide to all resolves, bills, reports, memorials, petitions, messages, letters and public documents formally considered before sessions of the Massa- chusetts General Court from 1^04-1^^2, The bills (general term for legislative documents) are listed by year, b branch of legislature within each subject heading. Hence, for example; 52H252 is House bill number 252 for the year 1B62 (see list of abbreviations and symbols for special cases). It is important to note that prior to IB3I, the legislature held several ses- sions per legislative year whifeh at that time went from May to May of the following year. Hence there are often several bills of the same niimber for each year. The researcher is thus advised to search a bit if the first bill consulted bears no resemblance to the subject at hand. The bills subdivide into two general categories: general bills and reports. Since the reports tend to be more informa- tive, care was taken to describe each report with some indica- tion of content, while limits of space and the nxoraber of bills prevented such attention to be given to each individual bill. Bills generally run no more than 3 pages while reports run as large as I50 pages. Some reports which originally were sub- mitted to the General Court as bills later became public docu- ments. For a list of subjects so published, see appendix I, Bills further subdivide into resolves, petitions, and occasionally, messages and memorials. Messages and memorials are noted while all numbers without special notation should be considered either resolves or petitions, I wish to acknowledge the assistance of a niimber of people in the preparation of this index. The project could not have been completed without the constant encouragement of Mr, I, Albert Matkov, State Librarian, As this index goes to press, Mr, Matkov retires from State service and it is hoped that this index will serve as an appreciation for his years of devoted service to one of the State's most distinguished libraries. 1X1 The staff of the Massachusetts State Library, both past and present, assisted in a variety of ways, particularly Mr, Michael Galvin, who indexed some of the reports, and Mr. Alan Fox, The present staff provided a pleasant and quiet atmosphere which allowed the work to proceed on schedule, Mr, Leo Flaherty of the State Archives answered many questions. Finally, Mr, Geoffrey Patterson cheerfully accepted the burden of typing a difficult manuscript. It is hoped that in some small way this index will aid scholars and histoiy buffs in the study of the history of a state about which much has been written but about which many questions still remain unanswered.

  • Our History Tracing Our Congregation from 1729 to Today
    Our History Tracing our Congregation from 1729 to Today ARLINGTON STREET CHURCH Unitarian Universalist Beginnings • Our community began as a group of Scots-Irish Calvinists gathered in a converted barn on Long Lane in Boston on November 15th, 1729. The inhospitable residents of Boston dubbed them derogatorily as “The Church of the Presbyterian Strangers,” and the name stuck. The building be- came known as the Long Lane Meeting House. • A real church was built on the site in 1744; in it, the Massachusetts State Convention met and ratified the Constitution of the United States on February 7th, 1788. When the street name was changed from Long Lane to Federal Street in honor of the event, the building became known as The Federal Street Church • In 1787, the congregation, wanting to be self- governing, voted to call Jeremy Belknap, a liberal Congregationalist, to lead them in adopting the congregational form of governance. Thus they left the required creed and rule of the Presbytery. • William Ellery Channing, often known as the Fa- ther of GatheredAmerican Unitarianism, served as Senior Minister at the Federal Street Church from 1803 to 1842. Under his leadership the congregation prospered. To accommodate the crowds that Channing drew, the thirdin meeting house, Lovede- and Service signed by the noted Charles Bulfinch, was built in 1809 on the Federal Street site. • In 1819 Channing delivered “The Baltimore Sermon,” which defined the new Unitarianfor the- Justice and Peace ology for the burgeoning Unitarian movement. Although Channing originally resisted formation of a new denomination, under the direction of his associate and later successor, Ezra Stiles Gan- nett, the move toward separation from the Con- gregationalists began.

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.
