Notes.
the social side of the Historical Society is a prominent and attractive feature.
Members gather on Saturday evenings, in committee meetings, or to discuss topics of mutual interest.
The open wood fires, with an occasional introduction of the steaming
chafing dish, give the rooms a cosey and homelike atmosphere.
the
Publication Committee asks the hearty cooperation of all the members of the Society in the distribution of the register.
The price has been placed at such a moderate sum that a large number ought to be disposed of. Any item of interest pertaining to the work of the Society may be sent to any member of the committee.
the Society has in its rooms a fine collection of army relics, the same being a
permanent loan from
Mr. M. E. Chandler, of Maiden.
the
Publication Committee regrets that it will not be able to give to the readers of the register the admirable
[p. 30] papers read before the Society by
Rev. Henry C. DeLong, on the ‘Early Ministers of
Medford,’ and by
Rev. C. A. Staples, of
Lexington, on the ‘Hancock Clark House,’ or the interesting address of
Mr. Sylvester Baxter, of
Malden, on the ‘Metropolitan Park System.’
the Society would gratefully receive as gifts or loans books or articles of historic interest and value.
Memberships in the Society are cordially invited.
the
Publication Committee makes its appreciative acknowledgments to
Hon. Mellen Chamberlain for his paper on ‘The Importance of preserving
Early History,’ written for this number of the register.
