CoRNELL, LL.D., of Boston 500 507 IU NT R O D C T ION THIs b ook is designed as the first of a series of vol. umes, devoted to biographies of deceased members of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, which are to be printed at the expense of the “Towne Memorial Fund.” This is not the place either to repeat the facts of the life of WILLIAM BLANCHARD TownE, as they have been already sketched in the “New England Historical and Genealogical Register” for January, 1878, or to anti cipate the fuller record which should find place when his own name shall be reached in the series. But those who peruse this volume will find here a brief outline of the life of him to whose interest and munificence the pro posed series of biographic memorials are due. Mr. T owne was born in Bow, N. H., October 12, 1810, the son of Jonathan Towne, descended from William Towne, of Yarmouth, in England, who died in Topsfield, Mass, about 1672. His mother was Clarissa Hoyt, daugh ter of Captain John Hoyt; and from her he inherited vigor of mind and body. His early advantages were limited. At the age of sixteen, he went to Concord, N. H., in the employment of Dr. Josiah Crosby, who was then a young man, ready to give sympathy and aid to the studious and aspiring boy; and during the two years spent in his family received eighteen months of schooling and the help of a wise teacher; and to them he owed much. Between the years 1829 and 1834, while Mr. Towne was occupying the position of a clerk at Concord, he devoted his leisure hours to teaching in a Mission Sabbath-school. viii I NTRODUCTION His l abors here reveal to us the spiritual side of his nature, and prove that, turning aside from his own cares, he was not unmindful of preparing the young for the active duties of life. Next we find him in Boston occupying the same humble position as a clerk; soon, however, to be ex changed, by industry and application, for the position of partner in the firm of Bowker, Towne, & Co. In 1852, he became connected with the house of James M. Beebe & Co., and so remained thirteen years. Mr. Towne married, June 15, 1842, Nancy French Hill, daughter of Jeremiah, descended from Ralph of Billerica, Mass., in the line, Ralph,” Samuel," Ralph, Solomon,” Jeremiah." After living in Boston until 1846, he made his home in Brookline, and there his wife died, May 3, 1858, aged forty; leaving three sons, William Henry, now of Boston, and Charles Edward and Arthur French, now of Chicago, all members of the legal profession. In 1866, Mr. Towne visited Europe. Soon after his return, he married April 23, 1867, Miss Jennie S. Putnam, daughter of Daniel Putnam of Milford, N. H., who sur vives him. His home was afterwards in that beautiful town, where his parents at that time resided. He was a Representative of Milford in the Legislatures of 1873 and 1874, and held a leading position in the House. He was also Trustee and President of the Savings Institution and President of the Souhegan National Bank. As early as 1834, Mr. Towne was engaged in the study of his family history; in 1844, he had prepared an exten sive Towne genealogy; and, in 1852, he printed for pri vate distribution a genealogical chart of the family. He became, in that year, a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and his relations with this society were intimate and important until death. For ten years he was its Treasurer, and afterwards Chairman of its INTRODUCTION i x Finance C ommittee; he was also a Director, Vice-president for New Hampshire, and member of the Publishing Com mittee. For nine years he was Chairman and Treas urer of the “Register Club,” conducting gratuitously the business affairs of the “Historical and Genealogical Reg ister.” He was active also in the measures which secured the Society's House, and well deserved to have his portrait placed, as it is, in the Hall, among the leading benefac tors of the institution. To no one, except the president, the Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, is the Society so much in debted for the success of that important enterprise. He died at the home of his son, in Boston, April 10, 1876, aged sixty-five. On the 1st of January, 1864, Mr. Towne gave to the New England Historic Genealogical Society the sum of one thousand dollars, to be placed in the hands of trustees and to be invested and known as the “Towne Memorial Fund,” the principal and interest to be kept separate and apart from the other funds of the Society, and the income thereof to be devoted to the publication of memorial volumes of deceased members whenever the Society should deem it expedient. In 1870, Mr. Towne presented another sum of one thousand dollars to be added to the original amount. At the beginning of the year 1878, the fund having in creased to upwards of four thousand dollars, the President, the Hon.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

Two major structural refits under present ownership since 2010 leave this handsome and proven schooner a long way from retirement sitting at a dock as another pretty face. In fact her 2019 summer cruise was 6200 miles from Mexico back to the Maine waters of her birth, and taking part in three regattas once there, proving just what a capable and seaworthy family passagemaker DIRIGO II is – still doing exactly what she was conceived for by John G Alden in 1939. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.
