Text Appearing Before Image:
4s 6d; in 1778, \d, Is 6cZ, 2s, 3s, 4sand 4s 6d. Thus it appears that the use of the codfish as asymbol of the progress and pre-eminence of Massachu-setts was no novel or unaccustomed departure. Thehomely emblem is closely identified with the greatnessof the State. It might almost be said that its crescentoutlines are graven on every page of its history. Tradition invests our codfish with the grandeur gath-ered from the days when * * there were giants inMassachusetts. It speaks to us of all the old BayState was and is. Patriotism protects it from the cavilof the cynic and the gibe of the unthinking. It typi-fies the world-old simplicity of those who go down tothe sea in ships; the goodly, Godly race, whom thestately scriptural story has immortalized; whose sturdyvirtues the Saviour himself distinguished in the choiceof Peter, the apostolic fisherman; and whose singularachievements on sea and land, in the arts alike ofpeace and war, have glorified the annals of the Com-monwealth. c w o
