Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Centennial of the Maine Historical Society, April 11, 1922: I. The Maine Historical Society in Brunswick; II. The Maine Historical Society at Portland
The organization of the Maine Historical Society in 1822 followed closely upon the separation of what was once the Province of Maine from what had long been known as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In two carefully pre pared papers a review of the first century of the Society's work is herewith presented. The meeting for this purpose was held at three o'clock in the afternoon of April 11, 1922, in the hall of the Library Building on what was once the Longfellow property in Portland. Although the weather was somewhat unfavorable, the audience was large, and both Dr. Sills and Mr. Moulton had deeply interested and most appreciative hearers. At the close of these literary services each speaker received a very hearty vote of thanks.
