This is the title of one of the most valuable contributions to the
HISTORY of BOSTON that has been made in many years. It embraces a series
of upwards of ONE HUNDRED VIEWS of OLD BOSTON, that have been gathered
from private and public collections, and most faithfully reproduced by
the Photo-Electrotype Engraving Company's process of Boston.
The Book is handsomely BOUND IN CLOTH. On the front cover is a view of
the Old State House, embossed in gold; on the back cover is a veneer
made from the Old Elm, on which is printed a view of the old tree, and
an autograph letter from Mayor Cobb (who was mayor of Boston at the time
of the destruction of the tree), certifying to its authenticity. It is a
book of 400 pages, imperial octavo, and a limited number is offered at
$6.00 PER COPY.
