Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of Sturbridge and Southbridge The great change which has taken place, in reference to the manufacturing interest, within the last half century, is more strikingly manifested in Southbridge than in Sturbridge. He has spoken of the origin of this interest, and its progress, somewhat in detail. He has sketched the early movements of the temperance reformation, and also for Spreading the Gospel. Making his sketch a little more general, he has given his views of the administration of the general Government, from its origin to the present time.
