Excerpt from Two Discourses, Delivered September 29, 1839: On Occasion of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Gathering of the First Congregational Church, Quincy With an Appendix Governor Winthrop's company came over in 1630. It seems to have been their original intention* to have settled, with the fifteen hundred persons composing their colony, in some one place, and to have given it the name of Boston. But several circumstances, after their arrival, prevented this design being effected. Necessity, arising from sickness, exhaustion, and the wish to be settled before the coming on of winter, in fluenced them to disperse about in separate companies, and to commence distinct plantations, in places that appeared most convenient and promising. Hence the origin of the system of towns in New England, a system which has done much to favor the democratic element, which enters so largely into all our institutions. Hence arose Charlestown, Dorchester, Boston, and in course of time Braintree. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
