(Excerpt from History of the Boston Massacre, March 5, 177...)
Excerpt from History of the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770: Consisting of the Narrative of the Town, the Trial of the Soldiers; And a Historical Introduction, Containing Unpublished Documents of John Adams, and Explanatory Notes The passage by parliament of the law known as the stamp act, and the attempt to carry it into effect, had raised a feeling through out the colonies that was found to be so injurious to the trade of England as to cause its repeal in March, 1766. The news of this yielding to the popular clamor was received with joy throughout the colonies, but many of the far-seeing men, among the patriots, saw no cause for rejoicing, as the act of repeal contained a clause which to them was portentous of evil to our liberties. It claimed the absolute right of parliament-to bind the colonies in all cases whatsoever. It was soon seen that the British government had determined to follow out this declaration by a practical Show of force which should overawe the people; for during this autumn the garrison at the castle was reenforced, and in the following June additional forces arrived.

Excerpt from The Discovery of North America by John Cabot: A First Chapter in the History of North America England was not at this period a leading power in Europe. With a population hardly greater than the London of our day, it ranked in commerce below Portugal, and its limited navigation and trade were mostly in the hands of foreigners. Henry the Seventh was then on the throne; and though he had listened to the projects of Columbus, he had refused to aid in the proposed voyage of discovery. But when he heard the good for.

Frederic Kidder, the son of Isaiah and Hepsey (Jones) Kidder, was born on April 16, 1804 in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, United States. His father, who had been successively teacher, storekeeper, farmer, and manufacturer, died in 1811.
From 1819 to 1821 Kidder attended in Hanover the preparatory school to Dartmouth College. Being the eldest son, he was compelled to forego college to aid in the support of the family.
In November 1826, after four and one-half years as a grocery clerk in Boston, Kidder went to Wilmington, North Carolina, for his health. He left with his younger brother Edward in a schooner which he had purchased and loaded with goods with which to engage in trade. Edward spent the remainder of his life there but Frederic returned to Boston after eight years. Except for intervals, he was in business, sometimes alone and sometimes in partnership, on India Street, Boston, from 1836 to 1868, dealing primarily in southern goods, such as cotton and naval stores. The profits from his business enterprises, which also included an investment in Maine lands, enabled him, in spite of setbacks during the financial depression of 1857 and the Civil War, to spend much time, especially in the intervals between his engagements in business, in indulging his antiquarian tastes.
Encouraged by his fellow-members of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, he published in collaboration with A. A. Gould a history of his native town, The History of New Ipswich (1852). After the Civil War, turning again to research, he published in 1867 Military Operations in Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia During the Revolution. Neither in this volume nor in his History of the Boston Massacre (1870) did Kidder show especial ability for narrative writing but he did display a capacity for painstaking, laborious, and minute research. His interest in the career of his great-grandfather, Captain Ephraim Jones, who was active in the last French and Indian War, led him to collect a great deal of material on the Acadians, but he published nothing on the subject.
