Descrição do livro
Proceedings. Continued As Bulletin. This volume is a multi-disciplinary compilation of the Essex Institute's 1870 proceedings, field reports, and an appendix on Salem's early houses, mixing scientific, historical, and bibliographic material. It documents Salem, Massachusetts, and nearby towns as the Institute expands its museum, library, and field-work, with regular meetings detailing lectures in marine life, botany, horticulture, donations, and by-law amendments, and notes on organizational development. The appended material reconstructs 17th-century Salem settlement patterns, including Old Planters, Potter’s Field, and Planters Marsh, and traces land conveyances and probable sites of Roger Williams’ and Roger Conant’s houses, tying the Witch House’s lineage to town records. The book foregrounds Roger Williams and colonial Salem, the Giles Corey ballad, and the 1692 witchcraft era, while also outlining field excursions in Bradford, Swampscott, and West Peabody that contribute plant lists, insect notes, and natural history observations. It also records museum and library cataloging, donor contributions, and governance changes to departments of History, Natural History, Horticulture, and Arts, illustrating a community-science project in 1870.
