With the exception of the anecdotes in this and the following sentence, almost the whole of this account of the theory and practice of the New England town-meeting was used by Mr. Emerson in his oration, given in December, 1870, before the New England Society in New York. The greater part of the matter used in that address is included in the lecture on Boston, in the volume _Natural History of Intellect_. The New England Society of New York recently published the Orations delivered before it previous to 1871, including Mr. Emerson’s, as far as it could be recovered from the scattered manuscript, and the newspaper reports of the time.

And if any shall hereafter powwaw, both he that shall powwaw, and he that shall procure him to powwaw, shall pay twenty shillings apiece.” Rule 4. “They desire they may understand the wiles of Satan, and grow out of love with his suggestions and temtations.” Rule 5. “That they may fall upon some better course to improve their time than formerly.” Rule 15. “They will wear their haire comely, as the English do, and whosoever shall offend herein shall pay four shillings.” Rule 23. “They shall not disguise themselves in their mournings as formerly, nor shall they keep a great noyse by howling.” Rule 24. “The old ceremony of a maide walking alone and living apart so many days, [fine] twenty shillings.” [39] _Page 53, note 1._ Shepard, p. 9.
