Benjamin B. Thatcher, remembered as a studious youth, but less known whilst here than he afterwards became to many of us by his writings, after graduating at Bowdoin College in 1826 and reading law at Bangor, went into practice in Bos- ton, became editor of a newspaper there, visited Europe, and, besides contributing to the North American Review and other periodicals, published several volumes on Indian history and biography. He died in 1840, at the age of thirty years.

Others less prominent, but equally deserving, might be particularized did our limits permit, - distinguished civil and militia officers, sea-captains, farmers, mechanics, and traders, whose disappearance reminds us that another generation has passed away. With them necessarily closes our narrative. For the additions made to our population from abroad, during the period, many of whom have contributed so much to the business and wealth of the place and of whom our limits do not allow to speak, the reader is referred to the genealogical table at the end of the volume. We have aimed to give a plain, unvarnished account of the progress of the town from a feeble frontier settlement to a community first of hunts- men and woodcutters, then of lumbermen and coasters, and lastly of farmers, ship-builders, and artizans. What phasis shall the place next assume ? What mark will the present and rising generation stamp upon it? What will be its con- dition fifty, a hundred, a thousand years hence ? Shall new methods of agriculture, new branches of industry, new adap- tations of our natural privileges, and new investments of capi- tal, retain the natural increase of our population ; or shall it be driven hence to cultivate the prairies of Missouri, or search the sands of California ? Shall temperance, which has well nigh banished the bloated face and reeling form, be suffered to perfect its work ; or its refluent wave again inun- date the community ? Shall political parties become gener- ous rivalships in the cause of freedom, humanity, and the highest capabilities of man ; instead of mere squabbles for place and power, or a slavish adherence to names after prin- ciples have been abandoned ? Shall religious sects continue more sedulous for creeds than conduct, more anxious to fetter than to free the mind, to make converts than to im- prove men ; or shall they, generous and self-forgetting, be- come rivals only in truth, holiness, and love ? Coming gen- erations, rise and answer !
