Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Centennial Milestone: An Address in Commemoration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of Quincy, Mass July 4, 1892
Another century passed away, and on the same occasion, on the same date in 1839, though not from the same pulpit, William Parsons Lunt in the stone temple, as it is called, which eleven years before had succeeded on the training-field the ancient meeting-house in which John Hancock delivered his centennial address, - in this stone temple, this very edifice, Dr. Lunt set up another of my friend's milestones, which re mains to-day a valued and lasting memorial of the preacher's eloquence and scholarship. Few now remember him, but William Parsons Lunt was in his day a great pulpit orator, and he was great because he was natural. The second mile stone is his monument.
