The time was coming when no more complaints would be sent. One of the most startling instances of this colonial instinct for self-government is the case of Thomas Hooker. Trained in Emmanuel College of the old Cambridge, he arrived in the new Cambridge in 1633. He grew restless under its theocratic government, being, it was stion of independent towns which made their own constitution without mentioning any king, and became one of the corner-stones of American democracy. In May, 1638, Hooker declared in a sermon before the General Court that the choice of public magistrates belongs unto the people by God's own allowance, and that they who have the poyears the American Declaration of Independence. But the slightest acquaintance with colonial writings will reveal the fact that such political radicalism as Thomas Hooker's was accompanied by an equally striking conservatism in other directions. One of these conservative traits was the pioneer's respect for property, and partic

s. Until Austin Hall was built, this was devoted to the uses of the Law School. At present it is occupied by the Cooperative Society, headquarters for books and student's supplies, and contains one lecture room. Passing from the quadrangle between Weld and Gray's we observe on the right a large granite building. This is Boylston Hall, the chemical laboratory, and was built in 1857.

After examining several places, the congregation of Newtown came and accepted of such enlargement as had formerly been offered them by Boston and Watertown. Savage's Winthrop, i. 132, 142. This enlargement embraced Brookline, Brighton, and Newton. Brookline, then called Muddy River, was granted on condition that Mr. Hooker and his congregation should not remove. They did remove; and thus this grant was forfeited. But the grant of what was afterwards Brighton and Newton held good. In the settlement of the line between Cambridge and Charlestown, no indication is given how far the bounds of either extended into the country beyond the line drawn from the Governor's great lot, or the Ten Hills Farm, to the nearest part of Watertown.

Before their arrival an order was adopted by the inhabitants, in regard to the paling around the common lands; the contemplated assignment of proportions, however, was not made until several months afterwards, when new inhabitants had arrived and had received grants of the common property. The date ofentered, was called Field Lane. Cow-yard Lane and Field Lane north of Harvard Street were discontinued and enclosed with the adjoining lands immediately after Mr. Hooker's company removed. The foregoing are all the highways of which I find any trace in the present bounds of Cambridge, prior to 1636. On the south side of the ri

Imprimis, That every person undersubscribed 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, wi
