Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Work of the Board of Trade of Portland, Maine: What It Has Originated and Accomplished Since Its Organization; Constitutution and by-Laws, Original and Present Membership, With Illustrations The Records of the Board having been destroyed in the great fire of '66, I have been obliged to draw chiefly upon memory for whatever did not appear in public print during the first ten years of the Board's existence. But I am satisfied that with my five annual reports of the Trade and Commerce of Portland, published by the Board previous to 1874, and the following sketches, that a fairly intelligent nucleus is furnished for the future historian of the Board.
