History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts: Including Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscott, and Nahant, 1629-1864 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts: Including Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscott, and Nahant, 1629-1864In designating a particular century, I have adopted, in place of the Old form, a mode of expression that seems more readily to fix the right time in the mind. Instead, for instance, of calling the century beginning with 1600, the seventeenth, and that beginning with 1700. The eighteenth, the first is designated as centurv 1600, and the latter as century 1700 This seems in accordance with the mode of expression usual in similar cases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
