Excerpt from Cambridge Fifty Years a City, 1846-1896: An Account of the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, June 2-3, 1896The fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the city was celebrated by the citizens Of Cambridge with appropriate pub lic exercises, which extended over two days. From the time the celebration was first suggested, in the month of March, 1895, till the last rocket had faded away in the heavens, on the night of June 3, 1896, there was but one dominating thought. Its in¿uence was potent during the long months of prepara tion. Its power inspired the pulpit Of the city. It was the pervasive and controlling force in every feature of the two days' Observance and its impress is a priceless memory in the hearts of all, both young and old, who participated in the celebration. Not a word was spoken, not a note sung, not a single act per formed, that did not express some phase of this one dominating thought: the glory and greatness of Cambridge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
