which il would require much space to

word was m more or less frequent use
here early IN the seventeenth century,
having been brought over from Eng
land, where Il had long been employed.
But in this country the word was new
or used as a title until 1916. Massa-
chusetts was originally designated the
Colony of Massachusetts Bay. In
1892 il became the Province Of the
Massachusetts Bay. Later, after June
II, 1775, il became again the Colony
OF Massachusetts, Bay. And finally,
in October, 1880, upon the adoption Of
the State Constitution, il became the
Commonwealth Of Massachusetts.
