This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Charles II had returned to his patrimony, the Regicides were executed or fled, and the local authorities found it wise and prudent not to depend upon so shaky a testimonial as the Charter of the Parliament but to petition again, and this time, to King Charles, for a new one.

Before a great day, there must be great preparation. In the babyhood of the Colony the little Island towns and the sparse plantations on the mainland saw gatherings of the landed heads of fami1ies--they and their eldest sons alone had right to vote. Grave discussions arose, frequently vigorous ones sometimes tempered by religious interpolations--very apt too. Even after King Phillip's War in 1675, there being no very sizeable room in Providence, such meetings were held under the buttonwood tree opposite what became Crawford Street and also, before public meeting places were provided, Smith's mill and his grain bags afforded shelter and seats for the politicians. Very much later than this, in Newport, places of public entertainment were employed, and a kitchen on Broad Street in Newport is recorded and voted as a place of meeting for the General Assembly. Some of us now living have not forgotten how witho...
