To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Blunt's building, a massive structure four stories high, and the Phoenix building, for awhile seemed to present an effectual barrier to the farther progress of the flames ; but by a sudden change of the wind they were carried directly upon these immense piles, which were soon involved in the general calamity.
" State street at this time presented a spectacle most terribly sub- lime ! The -wind, soon after it changed, blew with increased violence, and these buildings, which were much the highest... in the street, threw the fire in awful columns high into the air, the flames extending in one continued sheet of fire across the spacious area ! " * An irretrievable loss was that of the Custom House Records up to the date of the fire.
By this fire, George Peabody, Esq., (the well known banker in London,) then a clerk in his brother's store in this town, was thrown out of employ- ment, and the next year removed from the place. He is nephew to General John Peabody, formerly a well known merchant of Newburyport.
