“Mr. Gilman is thoroughly at home and fully in love with his theme. A glow of enthusiasm pervades the volume.... As fascinating as anything in politics or war are his pictures of private and social life.”--_Critic._ “Here is a work which must interest all Americans, for the history, especially the early history, of Boston is the history of their country.”--_Boston Budget._ “The fact remains that it is accurate in matter, fair in tone, picturesque in coloring-and, best of all, charged through and through with the sympathetic appreciation which every Bostonian rightfully expects to find in a local history.”--_Boston Times._ G.
