Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at Topsfield in Massachusetts, August 28, 1850: The Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town
The laying out, and the making of private ways and Of highways, must, of necessity, be among the earliest and most important Obj ects Of attention in a new settlement. The history Of these in Topsfield, as they advanced from foot-paths to horse-paths, - from these to cart-ways, - and from the last, to carriage roads - the slow, but certain progress which was made, from sloughs to causeways, and from fords to bridges, might, perhaps, in many instances, be distinctly traced. I leave the interesting task to some patient Dryasdust.
