In compiling this work, reference has been had to the Records of the Town and City, of Churches, Societies, Newspapers and Periodicals of the day, and many other sources. The writer has been a resident of Boston for nearly fifty years, and most of the events recorded during that period have been taken from memoranda made by him at the time.
