This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Moody Currier was born on April 22, 1806 at Boscawen, New Hampshire, the son of Moody Morse and Rhoda (Putney) Currier.
He studied at Hopkinton Academy and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1834.
During his college course he supported himself by teaching school and continued that occupation at Lowell, Massachusetts, for several years after graduation, studying for the bar in the meantime.
In 1841 he began the practise of law at Manchester, New Hampshire. The growth of the city’s industries offered lucrative opportunities and after a few years he definitely abandoned the law for banking and investment operations, and is thus identified with those developments which made the city one of the great industrial centers of New England.
He was connected in one capacity or another with four banking institutions; and beginning in 1864 he was for some years president of the Amoskeag National Bank. He accumulated a large estate and was financially interested in various enterprises, being a member of several directorates.
In 1856 and again in 1857 he was elected to the state Senate, serving as president in his second term.
In 1860-61 he was in the governor’s council, and as chairman of its military committee performed important services in preparing New Hampshire troops for active service.
In 1884 he was elected governor, serving from June 1885 to June 1887.
He retained an active interest in public affairs until late in life and several of his anniversary and other addresses were printed, notably those on the dedication of the Webster monument in 1886 and the Stark memorial in 1890.
Currier died in Manchester in 1898 and is buried in Valley Cemetery.

His message of June 4, 1885, gives an excellent summary of his political philosophy. In it he demanded: “A simple government, administered with rigid economy, with perfect honesty, and with due regard to the security of life and property, the promotion of learning and morality, and the amelioration of the condition of the unfortunate. .. A few laws, so reasonable that they will enforce themselves among good citizens, and so evidently just that they can easily be enforced against the vicious and the lawless are all that are required. ” He opposed the creation of additional commissions and offices, was active in supporting one of the early conservation movements in the state—the restocking of its waters with fish, and was considered an able and successful executive.
He was a man of wide reading both in science and literature, having command of several modern languages, and the literary style of his addresses and official papers is decidedly above the average of such documents.
He was three times married: December 8, 1836, to Lucretia C. Dustin; September 5, 1847, to Mary W. Kidder; and November 16, 1869, to Hannah A. Slade.
