Page [1] refers to a public meeting to consider the bridge ''not more than two years'' previously. This presumably refers to the town meeting held Feb. 8, l805. The latest year explicitly mentioned in the text is l804.

The proposed bridge was ultimately constructed in 1826-28 and known as the Boston Free Bridge (or North Free Bridge). Several times reconstructed during the 19th century, it was renamed in 1857 the Federal Street Bridge and later the Dorchester Avenue Bridge.
