PREFACE.
Thirty-four years have nearly completed their cycle since the compiler of this volume, issued proposals for publishing a similar work, to have been titled, a PICTURE OF BOSTON.
About 300 names were on its subscription list, when be- ing overpersuaded, the writing department of its pages was transferred to a person, who dallied with the original pro- poser, until the fervor of the design had waned on the pub- lic mind :
Three years afterwards, (in 1817) a 12mo. volume. enti- tled a HISTORY OF BOSTON, was issued, with his name as its author, yet published by some other person.
The original proposition for that work, is now copied from the BOSTON NEW ENGLAND PALLADIUM, of June 24, 1814, with the painter's pallet as then for its heading.

PREFACE.
wood of the public buildings in the town and suburbs ;- Proposals for which are left in each Bookstore, t where those who wish to patronize the new style of engraving in this part of the country,* or those who wish for a history of the town of Boston are referred, for a more particular elucidation of the editor's plan.
The volume bound, to subscribers, will be $1.25, and in boards, $1 12 1-2.
BOSTON, June 24, 1814.
That first proposition is now redeemed : a large mass of interesting items have been collected concerning the earliest days of the settlement of this peninsula, and which have been continued to the present time : considerable labor has been devoted on many parts of the volume; and if the ar- rangement of the whole, is not quite so methodical as is desirable in a work of this nature, it is yet anticipated to claim some attention from the citizen and the antiquary ; errors are inseparable from almost every literary production, but care has been exercised to commit as few as possible : should life be extended and another edition be required, exertions will be made for improving the pages with matter and in manner.
Boston, March, 1848.
THE COMPILER.
tAt that date there were but about eight Bookstores in Boston.
*That of engraving on Wood, introduced into Boston in the latter part of the year 1811, by the Author of this work.

EXORDIUM.
IN compiling a work of so many elements as the following pages exhibit, a generous kindness on the part of those from whom authentic information should have been derived, was hoped for and even expected : those hopes and expectations have been baffled but in few instances : the erudite citizens of our own soil have freely given their aid to enrich the volume with statistical tables or with matter of importance ; and which we now acknowledge with sentiments of grat- itude.
The clergy of the various churches, with the venerable Dr. Pierce of Brookline, have afforded liberal assistance in perfecting that department of its history.
The invaluable libraries of the Boston Athenaeum and of Harvard University, through their gentlemanly librarians, have been rendered free to the compilers use : the many volumes and pamphlets examined for information could not be chronicled, but a mass of items have been gleaned from the following sources :
Records of the Town of Boston, at the City Hall.
do. in the Registry of Deeds Office. do. in the State Library.
The above have been mostly copied to the year 1656, by a careful young artist, during seven weeks labor.

HISTORICAL ANECDOTE.
President John Adams was minister to England in 1785, and often met with Sir Benjamin West, the American painter : one day Mr. W. asked Mr. A. if he should like to see the cause of the Revolutionary War which gave freedom and independence to America : and if so, a short walk would exhibit it to him ; this being an interesting subject, they walked to Hyde Park, near the serpentine river Thames: when Mr. W. observed. that King Charles II. came to the throne while a young man, surrounded with flattering cour- tiers, who declaimed against the mean appearance of his palace. as wholly unworthy of the monarch of England ; adding that there was not a sover- eign of Europe, who was lodged so poorly ; that his sorry old brick palace of St. James more resembled a stable, and that he ought to build a princely edifice, suited to his station, and an honor to the kingdom : the King was fond of show and of Architecture, and readily listened to their suggestions, which were in fact all true.
This spot, said Mr. W. you now see, was selected for the cite of the new palace : the King applied to his ministers on the subject, and they enquired what sim would be required for the purpose : he answered that he could begin with one million : they stated that the expenses of the French war hal pro lacel poverty in the treasury, but that his Majesty's wishes should be taken into full consideration. Some time afterwards, the King was informed that the calls on the treasury were too urgent to supply him from their present means, but that a revenne might be raised in America, to sup- ply all his wishes, this suggestion was followed by action, and the scheme for taxing the colonies was carried into effect, for the purpose of building a Palace for his Majesty ; but as the Americans did not agree to build jt. the oft brick building get stands with all its accredited qualities.
