The Records show that, at a town-meeting, Dec. 14, 1772, it was Voted, That the letter and the book sent by order of the town of Boston to the Selectmen of Cambridge, signed in the name and by order of the town, William Cooper, Town Clerk, should be publicly read and acted upon. The Moderator William Brattle, Esq., was the Moderator. In the early part of the struggle he advocated the rights of the people, insomuch that he was negatived as a member of the Council in 1769, by Gov. Barnard.

The earliest trace which I have seen of a school-house on the south side of the river, afterwards Brighton, is in 1769, in which year new houses were erected in three sections of the town. At a meeting of the Selectmen, May 7, 1770, Vhools; and June 4, 1770, the Selectmen voted to give an order on the Treasurer to pay the town's school-money for the year 1769, viz.:— The Body of the Town's What is now the City of Cambridge. proportion is£ 40.0.0 The northwest Precinct,
