Excerpt from The Diary of John Rowe, a Boston Merchant, 1764-1779 This Society has published journals or letters relative to affairs in Boston covering a part of the period (1764 - 1779) included in Rowe's Diary, among others: Timothy Newell's Journal, April 19, 1775 March 17, 1776, 4 Collections, I. 261 - 276; Ezekiel Price's Diary, May 23, 1775 - Aug. 17, 1776, Proceedings, November, 1863, 185 - 262; Letters of John Andrews, Feb. 24, 1772 - April 11, 1776, Proceedings, July, 1865, 316 - 412; Thomas Newell's Diary, Jan. 1, 1773 Dec. 22, 1774; Proceedings, October, 1877, 334 - 363 Letters of Rev. Andrew Eliot, April 25, 1775 Feb. 19, 1776, Proceed ings, September, 1878, 280 - 306; Benjamin Boardman's Diary, July 31 - Nov. 12, 1775, Proceedings, May, 1892, 400 - 413; and Jabez Fitch, Jr.'s, Diary, aug.5-dec. 13, 1775, Proceed ings, May, 1894, 40 - 91. Other journals and memoirs concern ing the period are cited in the Memorial History of Boston, III. 154, note. The other printed diaries above referred to cover a briefer period than Rowe's; and their authors, or most of them, have a standpoint different from his. Several of them, like Rowe, have much to say of the weather; but that part of his record is omitted in this summary. Rowe himself, without being an acute observer of men and events, was an intelligent merchant and while we could wish he had reserved a part of the space which he gave to the ever-recurring names of persons whom he met at dinners and clubs for a record of the Opinions they expressed, still there remains much which illustrates the public and social life of Boston at this eventful period.
