Excerpt from History of the Town of Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts My design in the compilation of the following pages, has been to collect such facts relating to the settlement, subsequent history, and present state of the town of Hingham, as appeared to be worthy of preservation. The consideration that many of these facts were preserved only by tradition, or recorded in the decaying leaves of public and private records, rendered it desirable that an opportunity should be embraced to preserve them in a more durable form. Nearly two centuries have elapsed since this town was settled, and no full sketch of its history has ever been published. I have been desirous of noticing such individuals as have been distinguished in public or private life, and especially those of whom only traditionary information is preserved - and that fast fading from the memory of our aged fathers. It has been my endeavour to be scrupulously correct; but it will not be remarkable, if some errours in deciphering ancient manuscripts and in copying our town records (some portions of which have become almost illegible, ) should have escaped me. There may be much of this history, which, to some readers, will appear uninteresting, and perhaps some portions of it may be thought too trifling and unimportant to be given to the public. The consideration that we search with avidity for almost any facts which are rendered interesting solely on account of their antiquity, and that "the trifles of the present age become matters of weight with future generations," is a sufficient reason for the introduction of facts of this description.

Excerpt from History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Vol. 1 of 3: Part I, Historical Much of the remaining territory presents itself in rounded hil locks of various elevations, and in the west part of the town these prevail over a great area. Unfortunately they have to a great extent been denuded of trees. Barren wastes are found, unsightly to the eye where beauty might abound, and where rofit might be realized if the surface could be devoted to forest on ture. Nothing could be done that would be more advantageous to this almost destitute portion of the town than to cover it with the white pine, as there can be no doubt but that it would be a wise investment of money to do this if proper precautions were taken to protect the growth from destruction by fires.
