Among the documents deposited under the corner-stone of the Soldiers' Monument is a " Brief History of Cambridge," (pre- pared by Henry W. Muzzey, Esq., President of the Common Council), in which it is stated that, "During the War, Cam- bridge furnished to the army of the United States four thousand one hundred and thirty-five men, and to the navy four hundred and fifty-three men." This was about one sixth part of the en- tire population, which was 26,060 in 1860, and 29,112 in 1865.1


1 Cambridge not only furnished a full share of soldiers, but was aetive in reliev- ing the distress occasioned by the war. A subseription was eommeneed in July, 1862, which amounted to more than $30,000, for the benefit of soldiers and their families. When the " Massachusetts Soldiers' Relief Association " was formed at Washington, Aug. 11, 1862, its first President, George W. Mclellan, and its Corresponding Secretary, George F. Me- Lellan, were Cambridge men. One of its Directors was Zenas W. Bliss, then a elerk in the Department of the Interior, but previously and for many years sinee a


proof-reader at Riverside. Before that Association was formed, however, Mr. Bliss was appointed by the Senators and Representatives of Massachusetts in Con- gress to visit and relieve the siek and wounded soldiers. As their agent, and afterwards on behalf of the Association, until his appointment as Commissioner of Enrollment, he visited the hospitals and battle-fields near Washington, on his er- rand of merey, and at one time was for ten days within the rebel lines, minister- ing to the wants of the soldiers who were wounded at the second Bull Run Battle.

1 This "Order of the Court," estab- lishing what was called a "single rate," was passed in November, 1646: " That a due proportion may be had in all publie rates, it is ordered, that every male within this jurisdiction, servant or other, of the age of sixteen years and upward, shall pay yearly into the common treasury the sum of 20d., and so in some proportion- able way for all estates, viz. that all and every person that have estates shall pay


one penny for every 20; estate both for lands and goods; and that every laborer, artifieer, and handicrafts man that usually take in summer time above 18d. by the day wages, or work by the great which by due valuation amounts to more than 18d. by the day, shall pay per annum 3s. 4 d. into the treasury, over and besides the 20d. before mentioned," etc. - Mass. Col. Rec., ii. 173.

The foregoing enumeration is preserved in the City Clerk's Office. It is manifest that, in the last section, the whole number of inhabitants is included, instead of ratable polls as in the first and second sections. On a separate paper in the same file, this memorandum is found : " The whole number of polls on the south side of Charles River in Little Cambridge, from sixteen years of age and upwards, 66 whites, 4 blacks." The whole number is : -


In the Town,


155 whites. - 9 blacks.


In Menotomy,


122 whites.


1 black.


South side of the River, 66 whites. 4 blacks.


Total, 343 whites. 14 blacks.


In 1781, a general valuation was taken of the property in the Commonwealth, as the basis of a State tax. The Cambridge List was as follows 1: -
