The Massachusetts Historical Review, published annually, replaces the Massachusetts Society's Proceedings. It seeks to increase public awareness of the rich holdings of the MHS and publish essays that contribute to the history of the state. In this edition the article of particular interest is " 'Father of the Whole Enterprise': Charles S Storrow and the making of Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1845-1860" by Peter A. Ford, p 76. The article gives a biographical review of Storrow. " Storrow's historical importance goes beyond his technological accomplishments, however. It lies above all in his participation in the unique experiment of the Boston Associates in building entire industrial communities in the New England countryside...storrow subscribed fully and enthusiastically to the idea of creating not just an industrial center but also new human institutions." p.110
