Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bostonian Society, at the Annual Meeting, January 10, 1893 Local pride actuates us to a certain degree in carrying out, as far as lies in our power, the Objects of the Bostonian Society To promote the study of the history of Boston and preserve its antiquities. We all know that the early history of Boston is an impor tant chapter in the history of the founders of the Great Repub lic, and the establishment of those principles of civil and religious liberty that we now enjoy. The preservation of such antiquities as can be preserved without materially inter tering with the march Of progress is of advantage, as has been frequently demonstrated, in keeping visible mementoes to perpetuate and emphasize important events that have influence upon the progress of the city or the nation. As this Society increases in years, the importance Of its work and the influence it can exert become more evident. It is not only important that we may continually recall and keep alive the early history of Boston, and the events that occurred here leading to national independence, but the history subsequent to that event, down to our own times.
