Excerpt from The Story of Its Government Ad Principal Activities: During One Hundred YearsThe frame work is strictly limited to tracing the development and undertakings of the City of Boston for a century, under Successive city administrations. The things that have been done on private initiative to enrich and beautify the city, to bring light and happiness to its poor and rich inhabitants alike through the arts and educational opportunities, the place the city has in the history of our country, both in peace and war, and much else, lie wholly without our province. All these things have been told in many books to which one must look for romance and historical narrative of a general kind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
