A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Boast, Harry, that you are a true-born child, and that you are a true Bostouian. Colonel Jackson to General Knox in 1777. MOEE perhaps than the natives of any American city Bostonians have the feeling of inhabitiveness and adhesiveness abnormally developed. In whatever part of the world you may meet with him you can tell a Bostonian a mile off. But aside from the peculiar charm surrounding ones birthplace, common to all men, the Bostonian knows that his own is pre-eminently the historic city of A merica, and he feels that no small part of its world-wide renown has descended to him as his peculiar inheritance. That is all very well. But it is one thing to be proud of our history and to boast of it on all occasions, and quite another to remain indifferent to the threatened spoliation of what we lay claim to as our inalienable inheritance, our birthright. I mean the really historic buildings of Boston and what they stand for. This book is my appeal to the historical conscience. It i only at the price of perpetual vigilance that a few of these old edifices, known throughout the whole world, remain on their foundations at this hour.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
