lying between Concord and Merrimac rivers—would seem to include Lowell; yet an Indian village then occupied that territory, and such villages were generally protected. The township had now attained its full size. In shape somewhat like an hour-glass, about thirty-five miles in length, and wide at each extremity, it was not much more than one mile in width in the central part, where the original settlement was made, and where most of the inhabitants then resided. Such was its shape when Johnson described it in 1651. This Town is compact closely within itselfe, till of late yeares some few stragling houses have been built: the Liberties of this Town have been inlarged of late in length, reaching from the most Northerly part of Charles River to the most Southerly part of Merrimack River. Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc., XIII. 137. This description, however, does not comprehend the whole territory then belonging to Cambridge; for both Brighton and Newton are wholly on the southerly side of

which last purposeth to return by the next ship into England), to build houses at a place a mile east from Watertown, near Charles River, the next spring, and to winter there the next year; that so by our examples, and by removing the ordnance and munition thither, all who were able might be drawn thither, and such as shall come to us hereafter, to their advantage, be compelled so to do; and so, if God would, a fortified town might there grow up, the place fitting reasonably well thereto. Johnson describes the original design and its partial accomplishment, in his characteristic manner: At this time, those who were in place of civil government, having some additional pillars to underprop the building, began to think of a place of more safety in the eyes of man than the two frontier towns of Charles Towne and Boston were, for the habitation of such as the Lord had prepared to govern this pilgrim people. Wherefore they rather made choice to enter further among the Indians than hazar

shall [meet] every first Monday in every month, within [the] meeting house, in the afternoon, within half [an hour] after the ringing of the bell; It is observable that the hour of meeting was thus early announced by the ringing of the bell. Johnson represents that, in 1636, a drum was used, because the town had as yet no bell to call men to meeting. —Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc., XIV. 18. It seems unlikely that Mr. Hooker's company transported their bell, across the wilderness, to Connecticut, and the story perhaps was inaccurately reported to Johnson. The day of meeting was changed to the second Monday in the month, Oct. 1, 1639, because it was ordered by the General Court, to prevent the hindrance of the military company upon the first Monday in the month, that no other meetings should be appointed upon that day. and that every [one] that makes not his personal appearance there [and] continues there, without leave from the [ ] until the meeting be ended, shall forfeit [for each]

In his Wonder-Working Providence, Johnson says concerning the College: To make the whole world understand that spiritual learning was the thing they chiefly desired, to sanctify the other and make the whole lump holy, and that learning being set upon its right object, might not contend printer, by trade. Perhaps his son Matthew had already received some instruction as a printer. It is not probable that his successor, Samuel Green, had much knowledge of the printer's mystery, at the time of his appointment. I think that Marmaduke Johnson, who came to assist in printing the Indian Bible, was the first thoroughly instructed printer in New England. to Josse Glover, The true name of Mr. Glover was Jose. clerk, in the penal sum of one hundred pounds, and dated June 7, 1638.
