This excellent book has been almost wholly rewritten. It describes fully, minutely, and compactly the Boston of to-day, - its historic buildings and localities; its note worthy edifices; its literary, historical, religious, charitable, and social institutions and organizations; its system of public schools and other educational facilities; its important commercial, financial, and manufacturing corporations its newspapers, magazines, and publishing interests the steam and horse railways which serve the city the various steamship lines which run therefrom; its harbor and the islands contained in it, - in a word, whatever of the organized activity and the external achievement of Boston one wishes to learn, this Dictionary tells; and the alphabet ical arrangement makes its wealth of information easily accessible.

Mr. Bacon has for many years been conspicuously identified with the press of Bos ton, and his intimate knowledge of the city and his excellent style render this book at once exceedingly valuable and interesting. It is hardly less useful and desirable for the citizens of Boston than for those who visit the city.
