Description
Excerpt from Old Falmouth: The Story of the Town From the Days of the Killigrews to the Earliest Part of the 19th Century
The old Assembly-room still exists, the only testi mony remaining as to the former routs and gaieties, for otherwise Flushing nestles under the hill as of yore, but has long become silent and dumb and reveals nothing of its old bustle and stir.
Yet papers and letters must once have been written which would possess a priceless charm if they had only been preserved. Possibly removals were responsible for the destruction of Old family papers, as they were conducted at a time when many boxes were indeed impedimenta, and therefore restricted to as few in number as possible.
