The Book of Boston

Zusatztext

Mr. Shackleton nds Boston a very human city, with pleasantly piquant peculiarities. Of course he tells interestingly the things to be seen in Boston, but he deals still more with that Boston which is a state of mindthe literary tradition of the city, its lecture habit, its ancestor worship, the Boston Bag and the Sacred God"and the things that make it a woman's city. This is not only a guide to Boston sightsit's a pilot to Boston prejudices and ne beliefs. Sprinkled with anecdote and avored with personal adventure, it is a book to cherish, to lend, to read aloud.
