be likely to remain entirely destitute. Yet the machines then in use might seem almost worthless, compared with the powerful steam-engines recently introduced. The Town Record of Births and Deaths in the last three quarters of the eighteenth century is very imperfect; all the deaths recorded between 1722 and 1772 are contained on two folio pages. Professor Winthrop inserted brief bills of mortality, for a few years, in his interleaved almanacs, which afford a glimpse of the truth:— 1758. Bill of mortality in first Parish in Cambridge.

omas Stacy, John Stedman. In 1707, John Comce was killed, and Benjamin Mussey captived Sergeants William Cheever and Eliazar Parker served in 1722; Zechariah Hicks, clerk, and John Manning, in 1724; Sergeant Simon Holden, in 1725, and John Oldham, in 1740 Next after Colonel Goffe, William Brattle was for many years the most prominent military character. He attained the rank of Major as early as 1728, when he was only twenty-two years old; Colonel, before March, 1739; Adjutant-general in 1758; Brigadier-general, as early as 1760, and Major-general of the militia throughout the Province in 1771. During the French War, which commenced in 1753 (though not formally declared until 1756) and continued until 1763, he was active and energetic in the raising of troops and the general administration of military affairs in the Province; but in the Army Cambridge seems to have had no officer of higher rank than Captain. The same remark holds true in regard to the shorter war with France,

been one of his most striking characteristics; and his taste was abundantly gratified. He was appointed Justice of the Peace, 1729, at the early age of twenty-three years; was Selectman twenty-one years, between 1729 and 1772; Representative ten years, first elected in 1729; member of the Council from 1755 to 1773, except the single year 1769, when he was negatived by the Governor. As early as 1729, he was Major; Capt. of the Ancient and Hon. Artillery in 1733; Adjutant-general as early as 1758; and Brigadier-general. Up to 1769, Gen. Brattle seems to have advocated the popular rights, and was probably negatived by the royal Governor as a punishment. But soon afterwards he received new light concerning the matter in dispute between the Provinces and Great Britain, and was allowed to resume his seat in the Council. As a further reward for his political conversion, he was appointed, in 1771, Major-general of the Militia throughout the Province; and from this time the Government had
