Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

Excerpt from Boston: Illustrated But while we find such abundant means of judging the people of Boston, hardly a vestige of the town as it appeared to the earliest settlers remains. We have, it is true, in a good state of preservation still, the three most ancient burial-grounds of the town half a dozen very old trees remain about as many buildings. Some of the narrow and crooked streets at the North End have retained their early devious course, but generally appear upon the map under changed names. Nothing else of Boston in its first century is preserved. The face of the country has been completely trans formed. The hills have been cut down, and the flats surrounding the peninsula have been filled so that it is a peninsula no longer. Place side by side a map of Boston as it appeared in 1722, and the latest map, and any resemblance between them can hardly be traced. The old water line has disappeared completely. On the east, the west, and the south, nearly a thousand acres once covered by the tide have been re claimed, and are now covered with streets, dwellings, and warehouses.
