Sandwich, May 19, 1766. This day being set apart for public
rejoiceings on account of the total repeal of the Stamp-Act,
the day was ushered in with ringing the bell on the Rev'd
Mr. Williams's church, firing of guns, and beating of drums,
and in the evening a number of houses of the principal
gentlemen in the town were handsomely illuminated, a large
bonfire made, and such other expressions of joy were shown
as became a free and loyal people.
