One hundred and sixteen years ago, to wit, on the 20th day of October, A.D. 1743, the quiet precincts of certain streets in the town of Boston were the theatre of unusual proceedings. An unwonted activity pervaded the well-known printing-office of the "Messrs.
As verse this performance is worthless, and it is not very forcibly on the side of good manners; but the ironic dedication has a certain touch of Fielding's later fashion. Two other poetical pieces, afterwards included in the Miscellanies of 1743, also bear the date of 1728. Hants, which Mr. Keightley has identified with Upton Grey, near Odiham, in Hampshire.
The chance discovery of a forgotten plate by school children may in truth prove that, as late as in 1750, the Rocky Mountains had not yet been seen by white men and that the first vision of that mighty range was obtained much farther north in Canada. After 1743 the French seem to have made no further efforts to reach the Western Sea by way of the Missouri.
Such a service to science, and humanity, was rendered by Darwin; a like service was done, more than three-quarters of a century before Darwin, by Lavoisier. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris in 1743.

He had entered Germany a few months before, a conqueror at the head of forty thousand men. He retired a fugitive with eight thousand men in his train, ragged, emaciate and mutilated. From 1743 to 1748. Prosperous Aspect of Austrian Affairs. Capture of Egra.
I own I never was more surprised in all my life to find that she was an English vessel, tho' my surprise was lessened a good deal when I came to see the master and all his fighting men so drunk as to be scarce capable of giving a rational answer to any question that was asked them. Brett, 17 April 1743. The captain's use of gender is philologically instructive.
"Wherever you say," agreed Alice. "It is all new to us." They soon reached the north bend of St. George street and stood before the old city gates. These once formed part of the northerly line of defence of the ancient city. "Built in 1743," declaimed Alice, as she read from the bronze tablet set in the masonry by the D.A.R. "My, how long ago that seems; doesn't it?"

The story of the purchase is most interesting, but hardly more so than the story of Thomas Jefferson himself. He was born in 1743 near Charlottesville, Virginia, on a plantation of nearly two thousand acres. As a boy he lived an out-of-door life, hunting, fishing, swimming, or paddling his boat in the river near his home, and sometimes riding his father's horses.
