tained till its incorporation with the Free Library of the First Parish, in 1828.
A Lyceum was established in 1828, which, after continuing in active operation for about thirty years, gave place to the " Young Men's Lyceum," which flourished for a few years, and was then suffered to die out. A Course of Lectures has been given in the Town Hall each . season since the winter of 1826-7, till 1860-1, a period of thirty-four years. For many years the lecture was followed by a discussion, or debate, on some subject previously assigned.
The population of the town, fifty years ago, was less than 800. It has more than doubled since, though the increase during the last ten years has been quite inconsiderable., In 1850, it was 1,535; in 1860, 1,563. The increase in wealth, during the same period of ten years, has been much greater in proportion to the number of inhabitants. In 1850, the valuation was $625,596 : in 1860, it amounted to $947,539, being an increase of nearly $322,000.
The Agricultural Branch Railroad, which has its present terminus in Northborough, was finished in 1855. The Northborough Bank was incorporated in 1854, with a capital of $100,000 : of this institution, George C. Davis, Esq., is President, and Abraliam W. Seaver, Cashier.
In 1831, the town, by a unanimous vote passed March 7th, ac- cepted a munificent donation of $3,000 from Henry Gassett, Esq., a merchant of Boston, but a native of this town. This is an accumu- lating fund, one-sixth of the interest of which, after reaching the sum of $4,000, is to be annually added to the principal, and the other five- sixths to be applied to the support of the minister, for the time being, of the First Congregational Society, so long as such Society should exist, and " maintain a good and convenient house for public worship on or near the spot where the present meeting-house stands." Mr. Gassett died in Boston, August 15, 1855, at the age of eighty-three.
The Town Hall was built in 1822, and a basement story added for a Vestry in 1833. The town clock was a present from the late Jonas Ball, a short time before his death, in 1847.

REV. JOSEPH ALLEN, D. D. Minister of the Town.

NOTE.
-
The pamphlets here brought together in connected form make the most complete history of the Town of Northborough that has been written. The Rev. Joseph Allen, D. D., the author of these historical sketches and addresses had it in contemplation, it is be- lieved, to write a full and elaborate history of the town, having gathered much valuable material for the purpose, some of which is contained herein ; but did not fulfil his design. This collection is therefore invaluable.
The Index which follows will be found to embrace the names of all persons and places mentioned in the several pamphlets, besides referring to the more important events in the history of the town. It is hoped that, though designed for a private purpose, it may be found useful to individuals and societies possessing the works of Dr. Allen, and serve as an incentive to others interested in local history, to make a collection of these scarce publications.
A list of other works containing historical notices of North- borough will be found on the following page.
