This book takes a look at Boston, Massachusetts from its foundation to the time of the book's original publication. The chapters included in this publication are: Colonial Boston, Provincial Boston, Revolutionary Boston, from town to city, the hub and the wheel, "The Boston Religion", the "Literary Centre", the slave and the Union, men and monuments, water and fire and the modern inheritance. The author takes a fascinating look at the people and places of Boston. The original index and many pictures and illustrations are included.
The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a "real" book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numbers will match the page numbers for all of the main text, as well as the index. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep page numbering consistent.
