The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), Cambridge town, 1750-1846. (search)
ecting with the streets through which the Watertown travel could find its way to Boston. Rivalry between these bridge corporations was the basis of many a hard-fought battle, in connection with street openings. The Craigie Bridge was but a part of a real estate speculation. The title to the greater portion of the property at Lechmere Point was absorbed by a company incorporated in 1810, as the Lechmere Point Corporation. At first sales of lots were sluggish, but a fair start was made in 1813, when the corporation agreed to convey to Middlesex County enough land for the county buildings, and to erect a court-house and a jail, satisfactory to the court, at an expense not to exceed $24,000. As may be conceived, this scheme was not carried out without opposition from the residents in the older part of the town. They were, however, powerless to prevent it. In 1816, the buildings erected for the county by the corporation were accepted, and the courts have held their sessions at East C

mas Brattle Gannett, who had two good Cambridge names, was the first minister. In the division which came later this church placed itself upon the Unitarian side. The long ministry of Rev. George W. Briggs, D. D., has but just closed, —a man held in reverence by all who knew him. Other Unitarian churches have since been organized in different parts of the city, but only these two are holding services at the present time. The first Methodist Episcopal Society was formed in East Cambridge in 1813, and is doing an important work in that ward, while other Methodist churches are busily engaged in different parts of the city. The Methodists have recently erected a fine stone meeting-house on Massachusetts Avenue. The first Baptist church was formed in 1817, in Cambridgeport, and it is pursuing its work with vigor in Central Square and out from that centre. Every ward of the city has one or more Baptist churches. The first Universalist church was established in Cambridgeport in 1822, t

te parties up to 1803, by which time it had gained firm foundation. The college catalogue bearing this date was undoubtedly printed at the University Press, and the catalogue of 1805 shows that William Hilliard was in charge of the printing at that time. In 1811 an edition of Dalzel's Collectanea Graeca Majora was printed by the Press. Its imprint shows that Eliab W. Metcalf had become associated with Mr. Hilliard at this time. Two years later, Charles Folsom, a graduate of the class of 1813, and Librarian of the college from 1823 to 1826, became identified with the Press, and his scholarship did much to increase the high reputation it had already gained for accuracy and elegance of workmanship. At this time nearly all the text-books used in the college were printed here. Mr. Folsom became known as the Harvard Aldus, and during his proprietorship books were printed in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Among other books issued at this time may be ment
