Excerpt from History of the Military Company of the Massachusetts, Now Called the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, 1637-1888, Vol. 2: 1738-1821 Publication and to the historian of the Company, and has been helpful in the preparation of this second volume. It was originally intended that this volume should cover the entire period of the second century of the Company's existence; but the large number of members of the Company active in the Revolutionary War, and the prominent parts they took in the stirring events in and around Boston during that period, defeated the original intention. This volume, therefore, ends with the town government of Boston and the third volume will commence with the year 1822, when the city government of Boston was inaugurated.
