Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City Government of Boston Teutonic origin, adopted by people who, under similar circum stances, had worked out a practical system Of local self government. Although Boston was not for some years the most populous town in the colony, it was from the beginning the centre of its political and religious life. In the development of its local government it occupied somewhat the same relation to the other towns in the colony that London occupied, between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries, to the large towns of Eng land.1 The rights which the freemen of Boston claimed and exercised in the management Of their local affairs, the legisla tion which they procured from time to time with a view to promote their local interests, formed the precedents for similar action on the part of the freemen in other communities.
