Excerpt from The Book of Boston
A city of interest, this: a city With much of charm, With much of beauty, With much of dignity. A city of idols as well as of ideals, and With some of the idols clay. For, indeed, it is a very human city, With pleasantly piquant peculiarities. On the Whole, in its development, a comfortable city. A city of tradi tions that are fine and traditions that are not so fine. A city of beliefs and at the same time of prejudices. A city rich in associations, rich in its memories of great men and great deeds, rich in its possession of places connected With those men and deeds. No other American city so richly and delightfully summons up remembrance of things past.
I shall write of the people as well as of their city, and of their character and peculiarities and Ways. Boston, with its prosperous present and its fine, free relish of a history that is like romance, is a likable city, a pleasing city, a city to Win the heart.
