Excerpt from King's Dictionary of Boston The scope of this little work is so concisely stated in the very flattering opening paragraphs of the Introductory Chapter, contributed by the Rev. Dr. George E. Ellis, that, happily for both reader and editor, an explanatory preface is quite unnecessary. In the preparation of this work, the utmost care has been taken to make it thorough and accurate. The full significance of the comprehensive title chosen for it has also been constantly kept in view in the treatment of its more than twelve hundred topics, as well as in their selection and arrangement. The effort has been not to prepare a guide-book simply, nor yet a hand-book conveniently arranged; but to furnish as complete and trustworthy information as is possible of all that goes to make the Boston of to-day, - a guide-book, hand-book, and condensed history of the city, its noteworthy institutions, its many organizations, - charitable, benevolent, literary, and social, - its religious denominations and churches, and its varied and most interesting features: all in one compact volume. It is not to be expected that the book will be found free of errors, or perfect in its scheme; for, with all the care that it is possible to exercise in its composition, absolute accuracy and completeness of statement cannot be secured in a work of this nature. But it is trusted that the inaccuracies will prove to be few, and the excellences many. As the publisher and editor hope to make of "King's Dictionary of Boston" a standard work, and careful and thorough revision of it will be made from time to time, with necessary changes and additions, they will be glad to have inaccuracies pointed out to them, and will welcome any suggestions for the improvement of the book. The editor desires further to say, that no statement, indorsement, or recommendation whatever in this book has been influenced by advertisers.
