Excerpt from History of Concord, New Hampshire, Vol. 1: From the Original Grant in Seventeen Hundred and Twenty-Five to the Opening of the Twentieth Century It is now nearly half a century since Dr. Bouton completed his work, and the book is now long out of print, and almost impossible to buy. Since 1858 we have become a municipality. We feel that the time is now ripe for the preparation of a history embodying these great changes, both material and personal, and we respectfully re quest you to call the attention of the aldermen and common council to this most desirable undertaking.
