Book Description
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the City Councils of Boston, 1822-1908, Roxbury, 1846-1867, Charlestown, 1847-1873 and of the Selectmen of Boston, 1634-1822: Also of Various Other Town and Municipal Officers As the Common Council has always consisted of members elected from the several wards, it will be of service to have a statement of the boundaries of the wards as they have been from time to time established. These lines were established in 1822, 1838, 1850, 1865, 1875 and 1895. The first division, in 1822, was made by the selectmen of Boston, under the power given in the act establishing the city. It was based on the number of inhabitants as shown by the last preceding census taken by the United States, and the City Council was empowered to alter the lines not oftener than once in ten years. The second division was not made, however, until 1838, when an ordinance was passed, September 20. Our text is taken from the Municipal Register for 1846, which seems to be the earliest volume containing it.

Brahmin Capitalism
Author: Noam Maggor
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674971469
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Tracking the movement of finance capital toward far-flung investment frontiers, Noam Maggor reconceives the emergence of modern capitalism in the United States. Brahmin Capitalism reveals the decisive role of established wealth in the transformation of the American economy in the decades after the Civil War, leading the way to the nationally integrated corporate capitalism of the twentieth century. Maggor’s provocative history of the Gilded Age explores how the moneyed elite in Boston—the quintessential East Coast establishment—leveraged their wealth to forge transcontinental networks of commodities, labor, and transportation. With the decline of cotton-based textile manufacturing in New England and the abolition of slavery, these gentleman bankers traveled far and wide in search of new business opportunities and found them in the mines, railroads, and industries of the Great West. Their investments spawned new political and social conflict, in both the urbanizing East and the expanding West. In contests that had lasting implications for wealth, government, and inequality, financial power collided with more democratic visions of economic progress. Rather than being driven inexorably by technologies like the railroad and telegraph, the new capitalist geography was a grand and highly contentious undertaking, Maggor shows, one that proved pivotal for the rise of the United States as the world’s leading industrial nation.
