	John Winthrop
		The journal of Governor Winthrop the elder speaks of his son John at this period as possessing in Boston a library of more than 1,000 volumes, several hundred of which are still preserved, and bear testimony to the learning and broad intellectual tastes of their original owner.
		Winthrop declined to be a candidate again, and successively refused various other candidacies and appointments, preferring gradually to retire from political life and devote himself to literary, historical, and philanthropic occupations.
		Winthrop has long been chiefly associated in the popular mind, and he has uniformly received the commendation of the best judges, not merely for the scholarship and finish of these productions, but for the manifestation in them of a fervid eloquence that the weight of years has failed to quench.

	The Massachusetts Historical Society \| Object of the Month
		John Winthrop (1714-1779), the Hollisian Professor of Mathematics and Philosophy at Harvard, took a more scientific approach in his lecture at the college a week after the earthquake, attributing the shaking to a violent reaction of heat and chemical vapors deep within the earth's surface, all under God's direction, of course.
		At the time, Winthrop's scientific explanation was countered by another that posited the use of lightning rods as a contributing factor.
		From comparisons of damage reports and felt areas of the 1755 earthquake with those same observations for modern earthquakes, the magnitude of the 1755 earthquake is estimated to have been about 6.0 to 6.3, a strong earthquake according to the modern Richter Scale.

	Life of WILLIAM BLACKSTONE 1691-1779
		He was born in 1691 in a log house in North Yarmouth, Maine, a year after his parents were married in Providence, R.I. It could be said that his youthful days were somewhat frustrating in that his parents could never seem to settle down in any one place for any length of time.
		Apparently ABIGAIL had previously been married to an AMBROSE CLARIDGE of Portsmouth, according to page 4 of the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, and also that she was a witness in Berwick, Maine in 1714, neither of which was further explained.
		The fact that she was 45 when she married WILLIAM, who was only 23 years old, is evidence that she was married before, as in those times, especially, very few young ladies remained unmarried after their teens, and those that did rarely ever married at all.
