Which, taken together, gave the history of the cit) from thgbeginning to the time of the publication of the third pamphlet. They were written at the request of the Free Public Library and published by it. In 1908 the three pamphlets were re - written and com bined in one book, by the Baker Printing Company, the present publishers. This was adopted by the Board of Education as a supplementary reader, and is believed to be the first school history of a city pub lished in America. The Public Library was largely responsible for the preparation of it, especially the librarian, Mr. John Cotton Dana. The present edition is issued to meet the demand for a short history of the city during and after its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The text has been carefully recast, and much new material intro duced, especially in the last chapter where the history has been brought dowri to date. This work repre sents the result of Inore'orless constant study during a period of upwards of fifteen years. It gives only the more important events in the city's history, and while.
