468 HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND HONORABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.

The number of persons admitted as members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company from 1738 to 1821 inclusive is seven hundred and sixteen, of which thirteen were readmissions, leaving seven hundred and three new recruits for that period. Of this number, ten persons attained the rank of major-general in the volunteer militia of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; fifteen attained the rank of brigadier-general; forty-eight that of colonel; twenty-eight that of lieutenant-colonel; forty-four that of major; two hundred and seventeen that of captain, and ninety-five that of lieutenant. If the military rolls prior to the Revolution were as complete as those since that time, it would probably appear that more than three fourths of the members of the Artillery Company from 1738 to 1821 were, at some time, officers in the State militia.

This volume covers an interesting and important epoch in the history of the Artillery Company. The corps, keeping pace with the military progress of the age, gave greater attention to the manual of arms and company movements; procured more efficient guns; instituted new and better rules and regulations; adopted a uniform which greatly increased the membership, and conformed with exactness to the desire of its founder, Robert Keayne (1637), by receiving as members a large number of the officers of the State militia.

It is also an interesting and important epoch in the history of the Artillery Company by virtue of its relation to the town of Boston, the Commonwealth, and the nation. The Company always had a pride in the town of Boston, of which many of its members were citizens, and in which the Company was originally chartered. They did their part in administering its affairs, increasing its business, adding to its mechanical pursuits, and driving the invader from its streets. These pages show that in the Artillery Company the Commonwealth has found only loyal subjects, ready for service to quell disorder or to repel invasion.

In colonial days the frontiersman had no truer friends; in the Revolutionary War the cause of independence had no sturdier defenders, and in the War of 1812 the call of the executive received no speedier nor more loyal reply than that of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. May the perusal of these pages lead the reader to a better appreciation of the framers and defenders of our national Constitution, and to a deeper, stronger spirit of loyalty to the republic and its free American institutions.
