...response. For the success of the management of the Hall depends in no small degree on the officers of the association, - a circumstance which members have never realized as fully as they ought. A year ago very good votes were polled, it is true; but we hope to see larger votes still at the coming elections. Every member of the dining association is personally concerned, and should so consider himself.

...resolve of the Legislature which became a law February 6th, 1816, authority was given to sell the magazine at Charlestown, and to erect a larger one at Cambridge. This, it will be seen, was soon after the war of 1812, which had effectually shown the need of powder and suitable places in which to keep it. Captain's Island, as that part of the town of Cambridge was called, was chosen for the location of this new magazine, and the State immediately opened Magazine Street as a mode of access...
